Explore

Pembrokeshire provides the most magical base for your holiday. Uncover exquisite coastlines, rolling surf, tumbling hills and fairy tale landscapes. Few places offer such immense variety as Pembrokeshire. Rich in history, diverse in culture, with overwhelming beauty, sparkling seas, and natural landscapes, rated by National Geographic magazine as the second-best coastline in the world. You're in for a timeless treat.

Located in the midst of the Pembrokeshire coast, there are so many glorious beaches to explore. The tiny, sheltered cove of St Brides Haven is just down the road and the magnificent Marloes Sands is less than five miles away. Ramblers will be in heaven as the coastal path is accessible by foot, down a farm track to Mill Haven, a tiny cove frequently visited by seals. The Coastal Path meanders above craggy coves, stretches of golden sandy beaches and through idyllic seaside villages, perfect for pub lunches or traditional cafes en route. Or you may like to take a trip up the coast to St Davids to soak up the relaxed vibe and mystical presence. Visit the majestic Cathedral, galleries, and boutique shops or for surfers, popular Whitesands Beach is close by. The closest seaside villages are Little Haven and Broad Haven, where you can find a well- stocked supermarket with a bakery, a Post Office, beach shop, cafes, pubs, and restaurants.

The sheltered anchorage of Dale is four miles up the road, a paradise for those who love water sports. Try paddle boarding or windsurfing, a tasty lunch in the award-winning Griffin Inn or just relax and unwind in the fresh sea air. Try surfing at West Dale or Newgale. And for that extra special day, a boat trip to Skomer Island from nearby St Martins Haven is an absolute 'must do'
