The pretty little market town of Narberth, in gorgeous Pembrokeshire, is a brilliant destination for history lovers as well as outdoorsy explorers. Accommodation options range from simple B&Bs to beautifully-restored farmhouses, perfect for romantic couples or fun-loving families. Whilst some of the best places to stay in Narberth are within the town itself, many of our favourite spots are tucked away in the Pembrokeshire countryside — well-placed for exploring or unwinding in rural bliss.

Lined with Edwardian and Georgian buildings, Narberth's main street is ideal for popping into antique shops, galleries, cafés and farm-to-table eateries. For a small town, Narberth packs a real punch when it comes to food: several local restaurants hold impressive awards, and there's a delectable selection of delis, bakers and butchers' shops to sample. The annual Narberth Food Festival — held in September — is also a highlight! The ruins of a Norman castle are the town's most 'official' sight, and there are plenty of stories about Narberth Castle at Narberth Museum, where the town's ancient and illustrious history is detailed.

Beyond Narberth itself is the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with its lovely beaches and miles of walking trails, as well as the rolling Preseli Hills. Go hiking and cycling, visit the region's opulent country houses and ruined castles, or discover nearby St Davids, the UK's smallest city. There's stacks for outdoorsy travellers, families — who will adore Folly Farm and the Blue Lagoon Water Park —and tranquil couples to see and do in the area. Book a room at one of the best places to stay in Narberth, and head out to experience this special corner of Wales.
