The Ferry Boat Inn

An adults-only seaside guest house at Goodwick

The Ferry Boat Inn is a highly rated, four-star adults-only guest house in the village of Goodwick, beside the sea on Fishguard Bay in north Pembrokeshire. With comfortable rooms, a warm welcome and a much-praised breakfast, it makes a peaceful and characterful base for the harbour, the ferry to Ireland and the glorious Pembrokeshire coast — and with the Ferry Boat Inn and Restaurant just a short stroll away, an evening meal is never far.

Comfortable, adults-only rooms

The guest house has seven en-suite guest rooms arranged over two floors, including ground-floor rooms and a wheelchair-accessible twin, so there is good choice for couples and friends travelling together. As an adults-only property, it offers a particularly calm and relaxing stay. Each room is comfortable and well kept, and a daily breakfast — consistently singled out for praise by guests — sets you up for a day on the coast.

Welcoming touches

There is a bar and a terrace for a relaxed drink, free WiFi throughout (rated very highly by guests), and free private parking on site — along with an electric-vehicle charging point and bicycle parking, handy for exploring the coast on two wheels. The owners’ attention to detail is reflected in an excellent overall guest rating, with especially strong marks for the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the rooms. Please note this is an adults-only property and pets are not accepted.

Goodwick and Fishguard

Goodwick sits on Fishguard Bay, home to the ferry port for Rosslare in Ireland and within easy reach of Fishguard’s pretty Lower Town harbour. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs right along this shore, with dramatic clifftop walking in both directions, and the town centre is about a mile away. Further afield lie the colourful coastal town of Newport, the ancient Preseli Hills and the cathedral city of St Davids.

A great base for the coast

This stretch of the Pembrokeshire coast is among the most beautiful in Britain, and Goodwick is an excellent springboard. From the door you can join the coast path, catch the ferry for a day trip, or drive a short way to the beaches and harbours that dot the bay. Birdwatchers and walkers will be in their element, and the calm, adults-only setting makes it easy to unwind at the end of the day. Fishguard’s Lower Town, a pretty huddle of cottages around an old harbour, has featured in films over the years, and the wider area is rich in history, from Iron Age hillforts to the site of the last invasion of Britain in 1797. With glowing reviews and a superb seaside position, the Ferry Boat Inn is a reliable, restful choice.
