Set in an elevated position with panoramic views over Fishguard Bay, this charming holiday home is one of three self-catering apartments in a historic building near Fishguard (1.5 miles). It’s rumoured that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor partied here when filming in the 1970s. Goodwick is twinned with neighbouring Fishguard, so there’s a shared celebration of food, sports and natural heritage. Find garden inspiration at the idyllic Dyffryn Fernant Garden (4.5 miles), discover The Last Invasion Tapestry gallery in Fishguard’s Town Hall (1.5 miles), and dine out and watch a show at the Theatr Gwaun (1.5 miles). Or venture down to dog-friendly Goodwick Sands (0.5 miles) and look out for seals bobbing about in the sparkling sea. You could go wildlife watching at Strumble Head (5 miles), or head east to Dinas Island (6 miles).

Head up to the property through communal terraced gardens with winding footpaths, and step into the welcoming entrance hall of this beautifully furnished property where you can store coats in the convenient cloakroom, where there’s also a WC. The kitchen is well-equipped with a large electric oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, and a handy washing machine to return sandy clothes to new. Relax and feast around the dining table and enjoying the view, and on a nice day open up the patio doors and enjoy your morning coffee on the decking. Unwind on the sofa on cosy film nights – there’s a Smart TV/DVD with Freeview. Soak in a roll-top bath with shower over in the stylish bathroom, and enjoy a full nights rest in the pretty bedroom featuring a four-poster bed and sea views.

Outside, there’s a large private terraced garden with a seating area and sea views. Parking is available for guests. Shops, pubs, restaurants, and a beach are within half a mile of the property.

It is important to accurately describe access to a property which is so challenging. Whilst the description mentions that those with limited mobility should not take this option there is no mention of the 50 steps down to the door or the five gravel pathed slopes which must be walked down.

Unfortunately the weather was awful with rain, wind and more rain. Unable to get a full day out at all. Spent most time sat in car watching the rain coming down or watching the television. A lot of steps to navigate to get to cottage - about 49.

My second stay at the Secret Garden in Wdig. Beautiful views over the bay you could spend hours enjoying that alone. Quiet and peaceful, lots of fairly steep pathway to get up to the road but by the end of your stay you're a lot fitter. Some lovely walks close by and others further away on beautiful beaches and bays. Great for dogs.

Some would say the secret garden is a little tired and I agree. I read the cottage description about access and it doesn't go far enough. Access is down a very steep path and steps. I would say not suitable for elderly or in any way challenged people. having said that we booked expecting quirky and we weren't disappointed.

Had the absolute pleasure of staying in this cottage for a week with my partner. The location and tranquility of the area was incredible. The cottage is a gem of a place, with a spacious bedroom, a well-equipped kitchen, a glorious bath and a stunning garden. The conservatory and decking area offer lovely views.
