Fishguard & Goodwick, Pembrokeshire · sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms
Perched on the lane above Lower Town's huddled quay, Fort Cottage looks down on the harbour that played Llareggub in Under Milk Wood — boats aground at low tide, herons working the mud, the fort headland beyond. It's the north coast's best-value harbour view.
Two snug bedrooms, a wood burner, and a terrace bench positioned for the evening light on the water. Strumble Head's porpoise-watching is fifteen minutes' drive, the Gwaun Valley's Bessie's pub the same, and Newport's food scene ten. The Irish ferry's comings and goings across the bay provide slow-TV entertainment throughout.
Harbour views usually cost Solva or Tenby money — Fishguard's Lower Town delivers the same postcard for two-thirds the price, with the wild Pencaer coast as your empty backyard.

Converted watermill deep in the Gwaun Valley — wheel intact, stream below the bedroom, Bessie's pub down the lane.
