Puffin Cottage Holidays is delighted to present Merlins Gardens.

Alongside the detailed description below, you can also enjoy a Puffin Cottage Holidays YouTube walk-around tour.

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Tenby yet still only a 10-minute stroll from the town’s colourful shops, welcoming pubs, cafés and restaurants — not to mention the world-famous beaches and dramatic coastline — Merlins Gardens offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience for your seaside escape.

Wander inside the historic town walls to discover local treats, from delicious Caldey Island chocolate to award-winning Tenby gin and small-batch local beers. Head down to the harbour to catch a boat to Caldey Island or enjoy a relaxing trip around the bay, keeping an eye out for dolphins and other marine life. And when it’s time for a classic family beach day, take your pick from Pembrokeshire’s award-winning beaches — each one offering its own stretch of golden sand and coastal charm.

Steeped in history, Tenby is filled with scenic walks that lead you through medieval walls, across sweeping beaches and up to hilltop viewpoints with unforgettable panoramas. From Merlins Gardens, you’re also perfectly placed to explore the huge choice of Pembrokeshire attractions — ideal for families and adventure-seekers alike.

The cottage itself has been thoughtfully decorated and is set over two floors, with the downstairs offering open plan living and the sleeping accommodation upstairs.

Superbly Located

puffin star 1 puffin star 2 puffin star 3 puffin star 4 puffin star 5

Perfect for a peaceful, well located getaway. Only a 5-10 minute walk to the town centre and beaches, Merlin gardens is superbly located. The property was extremely well equipped and, if our stay had been in the summer, there was a lovely exclusive seating area at the back. Situated in a cul-de-sac, it is quaint, picturesque and quiet.

We’d happily stay again!

puffin star 1 puffin star 2 puffin star 3 puffin star 4 puffin star 5

We stayed for a peaceful few nights for a birthday and absolutely loved it! The house is out the way in a quiet street but only a 10 minute walk along the coast front into the high street, best of both worlds! It’s a lovely place and well decorated and kept, we had a great time exploring Tenby and the local area (highly recommend Four Seasons farm shop and eating at Umi) We’d happily stay again!

Lovely house, well furnished, great location.

puffin star 1 puffin star 2 puffin star 3 puffin star 4 puffin star 5

Modern, well laid out, well furnished, well equipped. Excellent WiFi. Good location for walking into Tenby plus a parking space which is a real bonus in Tenby. Minor thing but large plates didn’t fit the dishwasher. The landlord & letting agent did try to sort this out promptly.
