Saundersfoot, WalesIf sublime views are high on your holiday checklist, then look no further - come and discover Caldey View!

To relax those aching muscles after a busy day sightseeing, you can retire to your very own private hot tub with unobstructed sea views over Saundersfoot Bay, Monkstone Point and Caldey Island watching the sun drop on those balmy summer days and observing the many stars overhead.
