Fern Villa B&B

A five-star Gold award-winning B&B in the heart of Fishguard

Right in the heart of the historic harbour town of Fishguard, this five-star Gold award-winning bed and breakfast is a comfortable, welcoming and genuinely central base for exploring north Pembrokeshire. Beautifully kept and warmly run, it is a particular favourite with walkers, cyclists and ferry travellers thanks to its position close to the town, the coast path and the port. If you want to be able to step out of the door and straight into Fishguard’s shops, pubs and harbour life — with the cliffs and coves of the Pembrokeshire coast right there too — this is an ideal choice.

Award-winning comfort

The B&B is kept to a five-star Gold standard, with beautifully presented rooms and a warm, personal welcome. It is the kind of place where the little touches make all the difference, and where you can relax in comfort after a day on the coast path or the water. Its central setting means everything Fishguard has to offer is just a short walk away.

Perfect for walkers, cyclists and ferry travellers

With the Pembrokeshire Coast Path close by and the ferry port for Ireland within easy reach, the B&B is especially well suited to walkers, cyclists and those crossing to or from Ireland. An overnight before an early sailing, or a comfortable base for tackling the coast path in stages, both work beautifully here.

Exploring Fishguard and north Pembrokeshire

Fishguard is a characterful town in two parts — the main town above and the picture-perfect Lower Town harbour below, much used as a film location — with a ferry port linking to Ireland and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path running right through. From this central base you can walk the cliffs, take a boat trip, or head out to the coastal town of Newport, the ancient Preseli Hills (source of Stonehenge’s bluestones) and the cathedral city of St Davids, all within easy reach. It is a wonderful spot for a coast-and-countryside holiday. For more places to stay and things to do nearby, see our guide to accommodation in Fishguard.

More to enjoy in Fishguard

There is real character to discover here. Lower Town, the old harbour tucked beneath the main town, is so picturesque it has stood in for other places on screen, and Fishguard is also known for the dramatic story of the “last invasion of Britain” in 1797, commemorated by a magnificent tapestry in the town. From the harbour you can take boat trips along the coast in search of seals, dolphins and seabirds, or set off on foot along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with the wild headland of Strumble Head and its lighthouse a short drive away.

Being so central, the B&B makes it easy to enjoy the town’s pubs, cafés and shops on foot, then head out to the wider coast and countryside by day — a flexible, comfortable base for a north Pembrokeshire holiday.

Is it central? Yes — it sits in the heart of Fishguard, within walking distance of the shops, pubs and harbour.

When is the best time to visit? Spring to autumn is ideal for the coast path and boat trips, though Fishguard is welcoming year-round.
