Luxury self-catering accommodation in Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire in Wales forever holds allure for walkers, nature lovers, foodies and families alike due to the tempting mix of Victorian seaside towns and intimate coves begging to be explored.
Adrenaline lovers will leap at the opportunity to throw themselves from towering craggy rock faces into deep blue lagoons as they try their hand at coasteering in Pembrokeshire. Look out for dolphins, seals, puffins and choughs among other rare breeds which return every year. Protected by Britain’s only coastal National Park, Pembrokeshire is a unique self-catering holiday destination for all seasons.
Broad Haven's long stretch is sandy at low tide and popular with summer swimmers. Barafundle Bay, to the south, takes explorers along a forest track before the sweep of sand appears. Tenby is the place for sunhats and deckchairs; with the traditional harbour, shops to dip in and out of to break up any beach days. For a hearty ramble, cross the county to Dinas Head, where a steep clamber rewards hikers with dramatic views right across to Snowdonia.
