Pembrokeshire Accommodation

Pembrokeshire accommodation — your questions answered

How do I see the puffins on Skomer Island?

Puffin season runs roughly April to July, with boats from Martin's Haven. Staying nearby in Marloes makes the early starts much easier, and landing passes are limited, so go early in the day.

Are there dog-friendly beaches in summer?

If you are bringing a dog to holiday accommodation in Pembrokeshire, more than fifty beaches take dogs all year. The busiest ones do not. From 1 May to 30 September dogs are kept off Tenby North Beach altogether. Marked sections also close at Tenby South and Castle, at Saundersfoot and Amroth, and at Lydstep, Newgale and Poppit Sands. Freshwater West and the quieter coves stay open. The fouling fine is £150.

What's special about the Preseli Hills?

They carry prehistoric sites like Pentre Ifan and good walking with wide coastal views, and the story of how their stone ended up at Stonehenge is told in the guide above.

Why is St Davids a city?

Because of its cathedral, and with 1,751 people it is the smallest city in Britain. The St Davids page tells how it lost the title and won it back.

Are there places with hot tubs or spas?

Yes. Within holiday accommodation in Pembrokeshire, many cottages and lodges have private hot tubs, and there are spa hotels along the coast, most of them in the south around Tenby and Saundersfoot.

Where's the best place to stay in Pembrokeshire?

Tenby is the obvious first choice, with four beaches, the walls and the boats to Caldey Island. Saundersfoot is three miles up the coast and smaller, though no quieter in August. St Davids suits walkers and the wild north. Narberth and Haverfordwest sit inland within reach of both coasts, and keep more rooms free through the school holidays.

How much is accommodation in Pembrokeshire?

Most Pembrokeshire holiday accommodation is listed at about £75 to £120 a night. Some rooms and caravans open well below that, and self-catering cottages sit highest once you are sleeping six or more. Tenby and Saundersfoot cost most in high summer. Every listing carries its own guide price.

Most visitors pick a base on the Coast Path. Tenby has the beaches and the walled town. St Davids has the cathedral and the wild north, and Saundersfoot has its harbour. Accommodation runs from seafront B&Bs and hotels to cottages and caravan parks a short walk from the sand.

Book direct with the owner where you can; many take enquiries themselves, though some work through an agent. Or search across Wales.
