DIRECTIONS
From Pembroke proceed south up St. Daniels Hill and, before reaching Maidenwells, turn left signposted Stackpole and Bosherston. Continue south until reaching the crossroads at Sampson's Cross. Turn left signposted Bosherston. Once in the village continue past the Bosherston Inn and turn left into Windsor Road. Star Gazers will be found on the left hand side.
OWNERS PERSONAL OVERVIEW
Stargazers is a tall house with views over the village and surrounding countryside, situated a mile from unspoilt Broadhaven South beach. If you drive down the winding country lane to the National Trust car park above the steps leading to the sandy shore, after dark you will find yourself at an officially recognised Dark Skies Discover site; good for budding astronomers and photographers alike!
Originally built for extended family use, the house has welcomed many paying visitors over the years, as well as numerous friends and family members. We came here over twenty years ago for a new life away from the city. Here, we have made friends, pursued creative interests, and have taken advantage of opportunities to contribute to the life of the village.
Windsor Road is in the centre of Bosherston, close to the café, church and pub. However, it is quietly situated down a no through road, which leads on to a narrow path. This (as well as another National Trust car park by the church) gives access to the Bosherston Lily Ponds, part of the beautiful Stackpole Estate, where it is possible to see herons, and (occasionally!) otters. From here it is a further twenty minutes' walk to the sea. You can also walk up to St Govan's Head from the house, and visit the historic Chapel in the Rock.
Our productive garden offers a good degree of privacy. It is gated, so safe for children and pets, and has both a sunny, south facing sitting area and one shaded by fencing and fruit trees. Families who have stayed with us and enjoyed days on the beach, have also appreciated the relative proximity of Pembroke town and its Castle (10 minutes by car), Carew Castle (which likewise hosts many events in season), Folly Farm, Manor Wildlife Park, Heatherton World of Activities and Bluestone to name but a few alternatives. And, of course, the seaside town of Tenby is less than half an hour away.
Walkers and kayakers staying with us have also liked being so near to the sea and the coastal path.
Why are we leaving? Well, circumstances change; and it is time to downsize. We hope to find a purchaser who will love the place as much as we do.
And who will also, perhaps late on a fine, summers night, after most people have gone to bed like to open the front door, gaze at the stars, and listen to the quiet sound of distant waves lapping on the shore.
