Featured Green Accommodation
“One thing you'll
certainly notice is the lack of light pollution.
At night the stars are so
clear and seeing the moon reflected on the sea at
night is simply stunning.” Amroth
Cottages
“One thing I
know people welcome is the unhurried pace of Pembrokeshire.
If it's peace you're looking
for, you'll certainly find it here.” Barley
Villa
“We get all
sorts of people staying with us - families, walkers,
archaeologists, outdoor pursuits
people - and many come back year after year.” Caerfai
Bay Caravan Park
“The one and
a half acre garden includes a Pembrokeshire walled
kitchen garden which was completely
overgrown when we bought the house, including an
old Victorian greenhouse buried under brambles. Now
it produces enough fruit and vegetable to keep us
virtually self-sufficient.” Cefn y
Dre
“Pembrokeshire
is such a fantastic environment to live in and
we do all we can to help maintain
it. Recycling and composting of course and being
as energy efficient as possible.” Cuffern
Manor
“You can enjoy
a real sense of calmness, in places such as the
6th century
Llanstinan church just up
the road, and walk over the nearby bridge which has
been in existence since prehistoric times.” Dwrbach
Cottages
“The county
traps everyone I think - you know captivates them.
Every season is different and uplifting.” East
Jordeston Cottages
“Food is a passion
for me. We're really proud of our breakfasts which
include leek-speckled potato
cakes, crisp laver bread patties and locally produced
bacon, sausages and eggs.” Maesyllan, Boncath
“In the summer it's quite stunning. We've
sown it with over 100 species of wildflowers, so
it's very special.” Penrhiw Residential
Centre
“I've worked abroad for a while, but Pembrokeshire
always pulled me back. It's such a magical county.” Sea
View Hotel
“The quietness
it's just wonderful. We'll sit in the garden in
the evening and just listen
to the silence, the brook and the birds.” Swn
y Nant Guesthouse
“
Naturally, we recycle all we can and make some
lovely rich compost for the garden.” Torbant
Farmouse
“The area is
simply steeped in history with beautifully preserved
castles and other buildings.” Upper
Haroldston Farm
“We do what
we can to look after the environment in other ways
too, encouraging our guests to recycle
their bottles, cans and newspapers.” White
Gate Caravan Park
“Just down the
roads at Gumfreston is the 12th century church
of St Lawrence, which has its
roots as a place of healing in the mists of Celtic
history.” Little Wedlock Gallery
“The caravans
and the camping area overlook fields that are home
to our rare breed cattle and
sheep, and beyond that is the sheer beauty of St
Brides Bay.” Shortlands Farm
“We harvest
rainwater and use it for the reptiles and all our
water needs, except drinking. We recycle
our paper and green waste and we're looking at solar
panels too.” Silent World Aquarium
and Reptile Centre
“Mathry is supposed
to be one of the oldest villages in Pembrokeshire
and the present church
is the fifth one on the site, so it would have been
on the pilgrim's route to St David's.” The
Farmers Arms
“Welsh quilts
are for me very special - it's probably to do with
the Welsh wool that's used for
the filling, it has a lovely natural spring that
enhances the patterns.” Traditional
Textiles
“The main lake
can fish well in virtually any weather conditions
and its sheltered position
among trees in a shallow valley keeps most strong
winds at bay.” Watermeadow Coarse Fishery
