Puffin Cottage Holidays is proud to present Mallard’s Rest, a wonderful two-bedroom waterside lodge at Canaston Waterside Lodges, where the owners look forward to welcoming you to their peaceful “Noddfa” (sanctuary), nestled in a stunning location in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Just three miles from the market town of Narberth and a short walk or drive to local attractions, including the popular seaside town of Tenby.
A 20-minute walk through Canaston Woods will lead you to Blackpool Mill with it's heritage restaurant and surrounding woodland walks, set alongside the Cleddau River. Steeped in history, this charming Georgian mill has now been beautifully restored and is the perfect place to stop for a cake and coffee after a days' exploring or to enjoy an evening meal.
