8 Best Hotels in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Twr Y Felin

There's a reason that Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was voted by National Geographic as one of the two top coastal destinations in the world. These windswept coastal paths wind across ragged cliffs, wild moorland and wildflower meadows, secluded beaches and hidden coves. It can be explored by car, bicycle or by foot. There's plenty to see and do, from the stone circles in the Preseli Hills and Carew Castle to the more family-orientated Oakwood Theme Park and puffin-spotting boat rides; the sunsets will take your breath away!

Our Gurus have carefully curated a list of the best hotels in Pembrokeshire Coast National Park — all are based on their proximity to the best hiking trails, and the natural beauty that surrounds them. But these picks are a diverse bunch, ranging from a spellbinding getaway in a 12th century clifftop castle to elegant hotels set in working farms.

For something chic

Llys Meddyg

  • Twr Y Felin is perfect if you want some sleek, artsy style while explore the spellbinding Pembrokeshire coast. This chic renovated 19th century windmill overlooks the sea and is only a 10-minute walk from Caerfai Bay and the historic St. Davids Cathedral.
  • Llys Meddyg is an artsy restaurant-with-rooms run by a husband and wife duo just a short walk from many beautiful coastal paths. Though pretty chic, it has a smack of the traditional too: set in a Georgian townhouse, with a snug cellar bar, and pretty bedrooms. The restaurant has become a local institution, particularly in summer, when it opens out to the garden. A charming, elegant stay.

For a smart B&B

Penrhiw Hotel

  • Penrhiw Hotel, a former vicarage on the outskirts of St Davids, is set amidst 12-acres of landscaped gardens, leading to paths winding through woodland, river and meadow. Its eight guestrooms are beautifully presented with smart modern interiors and indulgent bathrooms. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate.

For a romantic stay

Roch Castle Hotel

  • Couples will love the windswept romance of Roch Castle Hotel, a 12th-century castle conversion on a rocky outcrop rising above the coast. The views alone are worth paying for, with gorgeous panoramas over St Brides Bay and the Preseli Hills, and it's just a few minutes drive from Blue Flag Newgale beach.
  • Secluded and scenic, Old Vicarage Moylegrove was made for couples walking the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path — it's a stone's throw away! Guest rooms are fresh, light and airy, or you can book the luxury birch huts for a little more privacy.

For a country house

Crug Glas

  • If you want a taste of rural Welsh life, look no further than Crug-Glas, a country house and restaurant set amidst 600 acres of farmland. Spacious rooms are romantic and luxurious plus there's a couple of cottage suites. The restauant champions the very best of local and seasonal produce. A real treat!

For a pub with rooms

The Stackpole Inn

  • We've included The Stackpole Inn for two reasons: first, the restaurant serves great food; second, the four elegant rooms make a perfect base for exploring the rugged, romantic landscape of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Even better, it's family friendly!

A home-away-from-home

Cnapan Guesthouse

  • Cnapan Guesthouse feels more like a home than a hotel, with its charming rural views, snug fire-lit lounge and lovely garden. Set in a listed Georgian townhouse in the historic heart of Newport/Trefdraeth, it's crammed with old family treasures. Bedrooms are spacious and bright with fresh, contemporary-feeling interiors. There's also a cottage for six which is ideal for families or small groups.
