PLACES TO GO, THINGS TO DO...

Relax at Felindre

Felindre is set in eight acres of land and there is plenty of space for children to play. We have a games room with table tennis, table football and a pool table. Felindre is surrounded by farmland and there are panoramic views of coast and countryside from the cottages and the lodges. You'll find it pleasant to sit outside your cottage or lodge and just enjoy the scenery, watching the Buzzards hunt over the neighbouring lands.

Stroll down to Porthgain and the Pub!

If you fancy some "light refreshment", The Sloop Inn is just a five minute stroll through the fields. Its a friendly pub which offers good bar and restaurant meals. After a bite to eat you can wander around the picturesque Porthgain harbour, or stroll along the cliffs on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and enjoy the spectacular Pembrokeshire coastline in Britain's only coastal National Park.

But if you don't just want to sit and relax, you'll find Felindre is ideally situated to enjoy all the delights of North Pembrokeshire. The spectacular coastline, the quiet sandy beaches, the open hilltops of the Preseli Mountains and the tranquil woodlands of the beautiful Gwaun Valley.

The historic city of St Davids, with its majestic cathedral, Bishops Palace, shops, art galleries and restaurants is only six miles away.

Relaxing! - For those who want a more leisurely break, this is a peaceful, quiet area, even in the height of summer, a perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy the wildlife, the flowers on the cliff top, and marvel at the scenery as you explore the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which stretches for 168 miles, skirting Britain's only coastal National Park.

"The walk to the little fishing village of Porthgain takes about 5 minutes. It brings you to the Coastal Path, the harbour with its fishing boats and of course The Sloop Inn. The Sloop offers a good range of restaurant and bar meals and it welcomes children. It is a friendly place - one of the few remaining "traditional" British pubs and it is within walking distance. See you there!.......
