1 Church Close, Marloes ref: 631024

The centre of the village lies just a couple of hundred yards away and provides the convenience of a village stores as well as the popular Lobster Pot Inn and Clock House Restaurant, both serving lunches and evening meals and offering just a short amble back to the comforts of 1 Church Close.

Just a short hop from this area of coastline, lies the RSPB nature reserve of Skomer Island. Accessed by a 15 minute boat trip from Martin’s Haven, just 2 ½ miles from Marloes, this incredible world dedicated to wildlife can’t be missed! Dolphins, grey seals, guillemots, fulmars, cormorants, shags and shearwaters are a common sight and between April and July, you’ll be able to get within a few feet of the famous Puffins as they return to the island to breed. The village of Dale, just two miles away, offers something to coax everyone onto the sparkling blue waters of this sensational coastline. Tuition and equipment hire for everything from surfing and sailing to canoeing and coasteering are available from West Wales Wind Surf and Sailing. The Griffin Inn, overlooking the water at the southern end of the village, is a great spot to recover from any exertion and feast on locally caught seafood.

With fantastic fishing opportunities, miles of coastal path, sensational beaches and water-sports of every kind, you’d be forgiven for not leaving the immediate area but no holiday in Pembrokeshire would be complete without a trip to St Davids, the UK’s smallest city, just 20 miles away. Dominated by its enchanting medieval cathedral, it’s a place that celebrates its historic, national importance and uniqueness all year round: From March’s St David’s Day celebrations, offering everything from the best cawl competitions to splendid cathedral concerts to the nine day classical music fest in May/June, its cultural significance is frequently lauded. From September’s Really Wild Food and Countryside Festival to a mass of Christmas festivities, there’s likely to be something celebrated or exhibited whenever you visit. The county town of Haverforwest lies just 12 miles from Marloes and with its Georgian architecture and remains of a Norman castle, it’s an intriguing place. The fortnightly Riverside Farmer’s Market, voted best of its kind in the UK and the weekly, vast, undercover car boot sale at the air field, are a bargain hunter’s dream.  But whatever your adventure and whatever the season, on returning to 1 Church Close you can’t fail to appreciate the comfort and tranquillity it offers; it’s undoubtedly a place you’ll want to visit time and time again!
