The Old Coach House has a large enclosed garden that offers you and your family the perfect space to enjoy the weather and relax into the evening with a glass of wine or watch the kids make use of the football net.

Newgale is just a 10-minute drive east from Hayscastle and offers a superb vista out over the St Bride’s Bay and is ideal for long walks, building sandcastles, surfing, kayaking or just relaxing with the waves crashing at your feet. Travel south along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park route and meander around the picturesque coves and headlands. Pass through the peaceful hamlet of Nolton Haven, situated around the beautiful beach. Continuing along this route towards Broad Haven, you will stumble across the Druidston Hotel which is perched above Druidston Beach and offers lunch with unobstructed views out over the glistening blue sea.
Enjoy a trip to the famous city of St David’s, Britain’s smallest city, at the most westerly point of Wales and the final resting place of the Patron Saint of Wales, Saint David. Adjacent to the cathedral stands the 13th-century Bishop’s Palace, a truly magnificent sight. Further along this north coast you will uncover the fishing village of Porthgain and the delightful restaurant ’The Shed’ which specialises in local freshly caught sea fish, and overlooks the harbour.
Oakwood, Wales’ largest theme park, is a fun day out for all the family, and located only 30 minutes away, or for those with younger families, be sure to visit Folly Farm Zoo where you can see rhinos, giraffes and even lions! Shop and restaurant 4 miles, pub 1 mile.

An amazing host and an amazing place to stay. The cottage is a fantastic base to come back to, to unwind from a day full of adventure. It was perfect for our family and a dog. Would definitely recommend you stay here when wanting to visit this part of Wales.

The old Coach House is very comfortable. We spent a very good time there. The weather was excellent. We walked on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and visited a couple of beaches. That was all very nice. For the children (4 and 7) the garden was very pleasant. The played there a lot. We can recommand the Old Coach House.

The Coach House was lovely, very comfortable and well equipped. The garden was perfect for our puppy. The location is spot on for exploring Pembrokeshire, without driving too many miles. We would thoroughly recommend the Coach House, we didn’t want to go home. Love to stay again.
