1 / 16The Old Police House
Fishguard, Pembrokeshire
A four bedroom former police house for seven in Fishguard, with a wet room behind the old cell door, an enclosed lawned garden and two dogs welcome.
The wet room is through the original vaulted cell door. The Old Police House in Fishguard kept its lock-up when it was turned into a holiday home, and a dog coming in off the coast path now gets rinsed down where prisoners once spent the night. It is a four bedroom dog friendly house for seven, with two dogs welcome.
The ground floor is built for a group. A large open plan kitchen and dining room has a breakfast bar and a long table, and there are two sitting rooms, one with a wood burner, so the dogs and the television can be kept in different places if that suits. A utility room takes the washing, and upstairs are four bedrooms and a bathroom with a slipper bath for the end of a long walk.
At the back is an enclosed lawned garden with a patio, secluded and sunny, and it is the place for lunch outside or a glass in the last of the light while two dogs stretch out on the grass. A stairgate is provided, and doggy extras are left for arrival.
Fishguard sits on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and a dog can be on it within minutes of the front door. Goodwick Beach, down by the harbour, is 1.1 miles away, and west of the town the path runs out along the cliffs to Strumble Head and its lighthouse, where seals haul out below. Newport Sands and the cove at Cwm yr Eglwys are a short drive east.
