The Fort Cottages offers self catering accommodation overlooking Solva harbour, St Bride’s Bay and the unspoilt headlands of the Pembrokeshire National Park.

Fort Cottages 1 and 2 are set within their own grounds, featuring charming terraced gardens with the majestic sea stretching below.

Shared Onsite

A shared laundry/utility room is located at the back of Cottage 2, equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer. These facilities are available for use by guests staying in all three cottages. The shared terraced garden, offering breathtaking views of Solva Harbour and St Brides Bay, provides the perfect spot to unwind and take in the scenery at your leisure. Access to the cottages is via a narrow, unmade private road with a sharp bend, recommended only for experienced drivers and best navigated during daylight hours. Alternatively, parking is available within a 3-minute walk of the cottages for those who prefer. Each cottage has allocated parking for one car at the side of the property. If walking back after an evening out, bringing a torch is highly advisable.

Visiting the Area

Solva was, in the 19th century, a thriving fishing and coastal haven. Today there are a handful of lobster fishing boats, and the harbour is filled with yachts and dinghies. The ebbing tide reveals unspoilt gently shelving beaches, rock pools and caves. For the swimmer, the sunbather, and the sandcastle builder, there is a wide selection of beaches, some of the finest in Britain. The surf is excellent at the larger beaches, and expert surfing tuition is available. The beaches too are good for canoeing – sheltered harbour for the beginner, rocky coast and caves for the experienced.
