The Duke of Edinburgh Inn

The Duke of Edinburgh Inn is a charming, historic pub with rooms in the picturesque coastal village of Newgale, on the stunning Pembrokeshire coast.

A historic pub with rooms by Newgale beach

There’s a special appeal to staying at a proper coastal inn, and the Duke of Edinburgh delivers it. The pub has served travellers and locals for many years, and it offers comfortable overnight accommodation alongside the warm, sociable atmosphere of a traditional bar. Being right in Newgale, just back from the sand, means you can roll out of bed and onto one of Pembrokeshire’s finest beaches within minutes — hard to beat for a seaside break.

Rooms and the bar

The inn offers comfortable rooms above a welcoming, traditional bar — an easy, characterful place to eat, drink and stay all in one spot. After a bracing day on the beach or the coast path, there’s nothing better than settling in for a relaxed evening without having to travel anywhere. It’s a genuinely flexible base, suited to couples, walking groups and families alike.

Made for the outdoors

Newgale is a magnet for those who love the outdoors. The two-mile surf beach is popular with surfers and bodyboarders, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs right along the bay for walkers, and the whole area is wonderful for wildlife, swimming and simply soaking up the sea air. The inn makes an ideal launch pad for all of it.

Newgale and St Brides Bay

Newgale boasts a dramatic two-mile sweep of sand on St Brides Bay, backed by a pebble bank and framed by the cliffs of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park — a favourite with surfers, walkers and families. From here you’re beautifully placed to explore the wider coast: the cathedral city of St Davids, the sheltered beach at Broad Haven and the county town of Haverfordwest are all within easy reach, along with countless coves and clifftop walks.

Staying at a coastal inn like this puts you right in the heart of village life, with the bar and the beach both on your doorstep. It’s a sociable, characterful way to stay — somewhere to swap stories of the day’s walking or surfing over a drink, then wake up to the sound of the sea. For active visitors who want to be close to the action rather than tucked away, it’s an ideal base, and a refreshing change from a standard hotel.
