For a refined dinner book the dining room, but for a pint and home cooked supper go downstairs to the bar. If it's a warm day/evening, sit outside for beautiful views of the bay and coastal path.

Sightseeing

It's the most unspoilt area, with beautiful beaches, clifftop walks, birdwatching... NB the path is only a 10 minute walk from the cottage, at Aberfelin (Trefin). The Pembrokeshire National Park not only has the coast path, but also numerous footpaths inland. If you'd rather not carry an ordnance survey map, download this new interactive footpath map from Pembrokeshire County Council:https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/definitive-map/working-copy-of-the-definitive-public-rights-of-way-map

The most beautiful beach (don't tell anyone!) in North Pembrokeshire - make sure you go when the tide isn't high (or there is no beach). A perfect way to get there is to walk from Porthgain to Abereiddy (and back).

A lovely place to stop off on the coastal park - and walk north to Porthlisky bay or south to St Non’s chapel. Great coffee, snacks & welshcakes at the Porthclais Kiosk next to the National Trust car-park & loos. Great to watch people (or have a go yourself) paddle-boarding, crabbing, kayaking, swimming...
