Heading towards the patio doors, be wowed by the breath-taking views, right on your doorstep, offering a peaceful setting for you to dine or simply unwind; hear the nearby bird’s tweet as you start your morning, or embrace the stillness as your evening progresses.

As the sun rises, plan your time in South Wales and head out to Narberth, where you'll find a plethora of bistros, shops, tea rooms and attractions, including The Angel Narberth and Fforc Welsh Deli; easing your stay with dine-out options. For a day of activities, visit Pembroke Castle and complete a tour of its mediaeval grounds, stroll around Llwyngarreg Garden, and take in its colourful sea of plants and woodlands, or opt for a beach day at Llansteffan beach. For a snippet of local history, discover Haverfordwest Town Museum and its interesting exhibits of social history, explore Laugharne Castle and its tales from 1116, or head to Abergwili Museum Park and see how the grounds have developed over recent years. Gwili Steam Railway and its immersive onboard events, the ruins of Carmarthen Castle, and St. Catherines Island and fort are all recommended hotspots to explore in South Wales.
