Tenby Vacation Rentals

Kids and adults alike will enjoy Battlefield Live, an outdoor combat gaming experience. For some more physical action, the indoor Blue Lagoon Water Park has everything from rapids, slides and lazy waves. Dinosaur Park is another value-for-money attraction that'll keep the kids happy and occupied for at least half a day. Say hello to the animals at Anna's Welsh Zoo where wallabies and llamas eagerly await your arrival.

The medieval harbour town of Tenby has a unique atmosphere and an endless selection of fun activities for all the family. Book your Tenby holiday cottage now to see what the fuss is all about.

The Art Matters & White Lion St Gallery features a great selection of sculptures, ceramics, prints, and paintings. There's also Babi-Beau cafe, which regularly hosts arts & crafts sessions, children's parties, sewing and mask-making workshops.

The oldest independent museum in Wales, the Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, sits beautifully atop Castle Hill. You can also enjoy informative videos of the launching of the life boat and its recovery at the Tenby Lifeboat Station. For some more art and history, go to Quay Hill, right above the harbour, where Tudor Merchants House recounts the life of a wealthy 16th-century merchant .

Known as "Little England Beyond Wales", Tenby delights with its pubs, ice cream parlours and cafes that are perfect for people-watching. Popular among the town's attractions is the glassblower demonstrating his craft — you can even buy some handcrafted ornamental glassware here. The 15th-century St Mary's Church is hard to miss with its towering spire and carved ceiling bosses.

Walk down to the harbour from your holiday cottage and take a cruise to the monastic Caldey Island, a haven for bird watchers and an oasis of calm. Tenby’s Welsh name, Dinbych-y-Pysgod, translates as 'Little Fortress of the Fish'. A fishing expedition will prove this name quite right. Meanwhile, the sandy Freshwater East Beach beguiles with its scenic coastal paths, sand dunes and wildlife.

Fancy riding through Welsh dramatic coasts and woodlands on a handsome horse? Look no further than Nolton Stables where even novices are welcome. For insider information on Tenby's resident pirates, aliens and witches, try the Tenby Ghost Walk, which takes visitors through some of the town's eeriest corners. And afterwards, come home and unwind in your Tenby holiday home.

For sweeping views of Caldey Island, head to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The rival village of Saunderfoot lies just three miles away from Tenby and has a nice harbour, a sandy beach and cafes. Those in the mood to venture further out can drive down Wales' south-west coast to discover its rugged landscapes and unique culture.
