A real treat in a Treehouse

I have attempted to build a tree house before now but I can't say that I have ever slept, or had a holiday to Pembrokeshire in one! An added bonus is that you are more than welcome to bring along your dog too.

The Tree House in Nine Wells is exactly that, an intriguing dog friendly place to stay hidden between the treetops, which can sleep up to four guests along with one small dog.

Nine Wells is nestled between Solva and the Cathedral City of St Davids in the West of Pembrokeshire. A perfect position for you to discover the many delights and quaint towns that are only a short driving distance away.

The Tree House is finished in a modern, simplistic manner and is very appealing to the eye, there is a pleasant patio area led to by french doors for you to admire the view from the rustling trees.

All dogs love walking and if meandering through enchanted woodland and discovering hidden trails are your idea of perfect then the stroll through the valley which leads you to a sheltered cove between Solva and Caerfai beach will be just what you are looking for.

Don't forget that wherever you are in Pembrokeshire you won't be too far from a section of the popular Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The section between St Davids and Whitesands is a marvel.

For your dog there is a lovely landscaped garden filled with an array of flowers and apple trees at Potters Cottage which is wonderfully south facing, catching the sun in all the right places.

Wolfscastle itself is a pretty, quiet village a few miles outside of the main market town of Haverfordwest, yet is only a short drive to fantastic beaches such as St Brides Bay and Little Haven where there are no dog restrictions in place and are dog friendly all year round. A trip to Marloes Sands is always a joy and is very popular, you can also join the Pembrokeshire coastal path and explore the Marloes Peninsula taking in great views of the coastline and islands of Skokholm, Skomer and Grassholm.

The route begins from Neyland Marina and you walk following the path for as many miles as you wish, you could even end up continuing through to Haverfordwest if you fancy making an afternoon of it! I have walked this track many times and always spot something different in the fields, hedgerows and I have never failed in seeing rabbits playing in the grass. A very pretty and rewarding walk.

At Neyland there is a lovely cafe where you can enjoy a light bite and great cup of coffee watching the yachts come and go from the marina. A great spot to sit and enjoy the sun.
