Welcome to Churchside Cottage, presented by Salt & City Stays. As you step through the charming side gate at the front of the property and into the front porch, you're greeted by the inviting lounge area. The rich parquet flooring glows warmly, especially when the log burner is alight within the limewashed chimney breast. Comfortable seating, including a sofa and two armchairs, is arranged around a central coffee table, creating a cosy space to relax. A wall-mounted Smart TV offers entertainment, while the large window bathes the room in natural light.

Adjacent to the lounge, through an open plan archway, lies the kitchen and dining area. The parquet flooring continues here, complementing the rustic charm. Beneath the other front window, the dining table with two traditional benches invites communal meals. The kitchen is well-appointed with an impressive electric range, Belfast sink with drainer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and Nespresso coffee machine. A small utility space beyond houses an additional sink, washing machine, dryer, microwave, and a spacious American-style fridge freezer.

Moving towards the rear of the cottage, a tiled area features a convenient downstairs WC, a large bench, and a coat rack, the boot room, if you like. A few steps lead up to the sunroom, illuminated by a skylight and glazed wall, with patio doors opening to the outdoor space. Furnished with a sofa and chair that can be used both indoors and outdoors, this room offers a serene spot to unwind. Adjacent to the sunroom, a bright study area doubles as an additional sleeping space with a sofa bed.

Ascending the wooden staircase from the lounge, you'll find the sleeping quarters. The master bedroom, to the right of the stairs, is a spacious retreat with two 12-pane sliding sash windows overlooking the quaint street. It features a comfortable double bed, ample storage, a large mirror, and steps down into an en-suite shower room with WC. The second bedroom offers cosy bunk beds and storage, with a small window, again to the front of the property. The third bedroom is another bright double room with yet again the same sash window facing the front, complete with a wardrobe and large wall mirror.

A family bathroom is located on a half landing between the ground and first floors. It includes a bath with overhead shower, WC, wash hand basin with mirror above, and a towel rail.

Stepping outside from the sunroom, the patio area is perfect for barbecues or evening drinks, leading to a small lawn. The garden is bordered by the historic grade II listed church of St Florence, lending the cottage its name. Beyond the lawn, steps descend to a private off-road parking bay for guests for one car.

St Florence is a picturesque village in Pembrokeshire, Wales, renowned for its charming stone cottages and rich history. The village offers a serene retreat while being conveniently close to several notable attractions.​

Approximately 3 miles from St Florence lies the historic seaside town of Tenby. Encircled by medieval stone walls, Tenby boasts cobblestone streets, pastel-colored houses, and a vibrant harbor. The town is home to four beautiful sandy beaches, offering opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Visitors can also explore the Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, or take a boat trip to the nearby Caldey Island, known for its tranquil atmosphere and Cistercian monastery. ​

A short distance from Tenby is the charming village of Saundersfoot, nestled on the Pembrokeshire Coast. Saundersfoot is celebrated for its expansive, clean beach, making it a favorite spot for swimming, sailing, and fishing. The village has undergone significant revitalization, enhancing its appeal with a variety of shops, restaurants, and the scenic Saundersfoot Harbour, which hosts boat excursions and offers picturesque coastal views. ​

While Pembrokeshire does offer public transport options, including local bus services and the Fflecsi on-demand bus service , Salt & City Stays highly recommends having your own vehicle during your visit. This will allow you to fully explore and appreciate the diverse attractions and natural beauty that Pembrokeshire has to offer at your own pace. Relying solely on public transport may limit your ability to reach some of the more secluded and picturesque spots in the region.

​Churchside Cottage is located adjacent to The Sun Inn, a charming 18th-century pub renowned for its character and warm hospitality. While this offers the convenience of enjoying a meal or drink just next door, please be aware that there may be occasional ambient noise; however, it is not expected to affect your stay.

We provide all bed linens and towels; however, we kindly ask that the towels remain at the cottage and are not taken to the beach.​

The cottage is equipped with Wi-Fi, ensuring you can stay connected during your visit.​

We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs per booking. To maintain the quality of our accommodation, please ensure you clean up after your pets and keep them off the furniture.
