Cosy Stays, Coastal Walks & Cracking Value

When the summer crowds drift away and Pembrokeshire takes a breath, the county transforms into something truly special. The beaches are peaceful, the woodlands are still, and the pubs glow with log fires and laughter. If you’re looking for a cosy escape packed with charm and great value, a winter break with Puffin Cottage Holidays is just the ticket.

Off-Season Escapes, On-Point Prices

Winter is Pembrokeshire’s best-kept secret — and not just because of the stunning scenery. Out of season, our holiday cottages often come with fantastic savings, with prices far lower than peak summer rates.

Whether you’re eyeing up a sea-view apartment in Saundersfoot, a countryside retreat near Tenby, or a coastal lodge with its own hot tub, you’ll find unbeatable value this time of year. Many of our properties also offer short stays and winter deals, making it easier than ever to squeeze in a refreshing coastal getaway.

Crisp Walks & Quiet Wonders

Winter brings a calmness to Pembrokeshire that’s hard to beat. Picture frosty mornings along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the crunch of sand underfoot on an empty beach, or a peaceful wander through Colby Woodland Gardens wrapped up in your cosiest scarf.

You might even catch a wild sea storm from the safety of your cottage window — mug of hot chocolate in hand, fire roaring beside you. For walkers, photographers and daydreamers alike, this is the perfect time to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Cosy Cottages, Log Fires & Hot Tubs Under the Stars

After a bracing beach walk, nothing beats returning to one of our handpicked winter properties — many complete with log burners, open fires and bubbling hot tubs.

Light the fire, pour a glass of something warming, and let the evening drift by. If you fancy a touch of indulgence, choose one of our homes with panoramic sea views or private outdoor hot tubs where you can stargaze under Pembrokeshire’s crystal-clear winter skies.

Local Life Still Buzzing

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean Pembrokeshire slows down. Quite the opposite — you’ll find cosy community spirit everywhere you go. Most pubs around Saundersfoot, Tenby, Wisemans Bridge and Amroth run live music weekends, open mic nights, and quiz evenings through the colder months.

New this year is Saundersfoot’s Winter Cawl Trail, where local pubs and restaurants serve up their take on this classic Welsh stew. Wander from venue to venue, vote for your favourite, and soak up the atmosphere that makes Saundersfoot such a special place year-round.

You’ll also find festive markets, storytelling nights, and seasonal celebrations throughout South Pembrokeshire — from Carew Castle’s winter events to Tenby’s cosy harbour pubs hosting live bands.

Warm Food, Local Ale & Welsh Comfort

Winter in Pembrokeshire is made for hearty food and local flavour.

 Try a traditional Welsh Rarebit, topped with rich cheese and mustard — perfect pub fare on a chilly day.

 Sample local ales and ciders, brewed right here in West Wales.

 Tuck into Welsh cawl, the national dish of Wales — a thick, hearty lamb and vegetable stew served with crusty bread and butter.

Many of our favourite South Pembrokeshire pubs and restaurants switch to comfort-food menus in winter, making every meal feel like a warm hug.
