Why Book a Holiday in Pembrokeshire?

  • If you’re after a quiet break, then Pembrokeshire is a great choice for your holiday destination. There are plenty of little towns and villages dotted along the coast that are ideal for exploring and wandering around. Pembrokeshire is a haven for nature lovers, people seeking an active holiday and those who love exploring castles and discovering the local heritage.
  • The sandy beaches are a beach lovers paradise and great for a family friendly holiday, and you can walk for miles along the coastline that stretches from St Dogmaels to Amroth. You'll see plenty of variety in the landscape with limestone and red sandstone cliffs and glimpses of estuaries and coves which will also be enjoyable for birdwatchers and wave watchers.
  • Hikers and people looking for a gentle scenic walk will enjoy the walks here with paths leading along the cliffs.
  • Enjoy the local food around by heading to a local pub serving traditional meals or treat yourself with the British staple of Fish and Chips.
  • The area is generally pretty peaceful, so if you're in need of some relaxation with some exploration mixed in then Pembrokeshire is the perfect retreat. Head out on a boat trip or enjoy one of the local festivals. 

 

Where Can You Explore From Your Holiday Cottage in Pembrokeshire?

  • Pembrokeshire Beaches are magnificent, with more than 50 of them strung out along the West Wales coast. These range from broad swathes of clean golden sand backed by dunes, such as Broad Haven and Barafundle Bay, to tiny coves cut into the cliffs, such as Church Doors Cove near Manorbier and Stackpole Quay. The beaches boast an exceptional hoard of awards from Blue Flags, Green Coast and Seaside Awards.
  • If you want to do more than stretch out on the beach and dip your toes in the waves, there are plenty of opportunities for coasteering and kayaking. Why not go on a seal and dolphin spotting trip? Available at places like Tenby and Martins Haven (which also offers boat trips to the Pembrokeshire Islands). Boat trips are a treat as you may get to spot not just dolphins but hopefully puffins too!
  • Away from the coast, there are plenty of other attractions to visit, from ancient castles and strongholds such as the Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, once a Tudor stronghold and mansion near Tenby. From the ruins of Pembroke Castle to a restored World War II control tower at Carew Cheriton, plenty of historic castles and buildings are open to visitors. Even a tiny hermits cell is built into a cliff at St. Govan’s Head to ensure fascinating days out for lovers of history and historic architecture.
  • If you’ve got some younger children in tow, don’t miss the Teddybear Workshop in Haverford West, where you can help them make their own teddy bear to take home. The Welsh Wildlife Centre is a great attraction for getting children into exploring along nature trails and watching the Puffin watching webcams on Skomer Island.
  • Petrolheads will enjoy a visit to the Pembrokeshire Motor Museum, which features a range of veteran, vintage and classic cars.
