About The Area
Pembrokeshire National Park- This is an area of outstanding natural beauty with breathtaking, unspoilt countryside/coastal paths with access to numerous beaches and stunning walks - beautiful wild flowers (especially in May and June) minutes drive away.
- Numerous birds (Puffins visit Skomer Island in spring and summer), wildlife (seals can be spotted for most of the year) and there are regular boat trips to the nearby islands.
- Abereiddy, a sand and shingle beach which welcomes pets all year round, is just over a mile away and is the starting point for a number of coastal walks including the nearby secluded sandy beach of Traeth Llyfn reached via a staircase from the Coastal Path (CAUTION strong currents).
- Porthgain Harbour - renowned Sloop Inn, The Shed fish and chip bistro, and a couple of impressive art galleries - is also nearby.
- St Davids has a magnificent Cathedral with beautifully restored cloisters and ruined Bishop's Palace - interesting small shops, art galleries and some excellent restaurants.
- Adventure activity provider TYF will provide you with an exhilarating array of coastal and countryside adventures. Try coasteering, sea kayaking, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, coastcraft, cycling and climbing with something for all ages.
- Fabulous Whitesands Bay with its golden sands and excellent surf is within an easy 15 minutes drive - easy parking, life guards in high season and a cafe/shop.
- St Davids 9 hole golf course overlooks the bay - breathtaking scenery and a challenge for beginners and experts alike!
- Get up close and personal with these magnificent birds of prey in their natural habitat. Fly the birds yourself and wonder as they swoop through the trees and glide over the magical castle's woodland gardens. Choose from a Woodland Hawk Walk, an Owl Encounter a Half Day Experience or a Full Day.
Beauty Spa - Home Visits
- By prior arrangement a beauty therapist from a local beauty spa will visit Joyful House - a lovely holiday treat.
