Pembrokeshire hotels are upping the ante to compete with quirky establishments and dreamy huts. Here are some great options for interesting places to stay in Pembrokeshire.
Pembrokeshire is a beautiful region with the main attractions dotted along its rugged and spectacular coast. As a relatively small county, it doesn’t take too long to drive from one end to the other. From Tenby in the southeast to St David’s in the west, or Newport in the north, it’s only about 1 hour by car.
Having said that, once off the main roads, country lanes get very narrow as they weave between tightly packed hedges meandering from one village to the next. Journey times can slow considerably, so choosing the right hotels in Pembrokeshire can be important.
To help you plan your visit, read our guide to the best things to do in Pembrokeshire and our favourite walks in Pembrokeshire and stay somewhere near the highlights that catch your eye.
If you have a week or more, splitting it between two centres (one near Tenby and the other near St David’s) makes it much easier to explore the whole area.
If you are travelling by public transport, the city of St. Davids may be tricky to get to, but good coastal bus services throughout summer make it a great base from which to explore.
Our list of the best places to stay in Pembrokeshire includes great value hotels, lovely boutiques, traditional country inns, cosy B&Bs, and shepherds huts with stunning views. Basically, something for all tastes, budgets, and quirks.
