About The Area

Llangwm

Small boats can be launched from Llangwm, a small village with a long and colourful history, which nestles on the western bank of the Cleddau Estuary.
Once a fishing village, famous for oysters, cockles, herrings and its tough fisher women who sold their wares all over the county, Llangwm is now renowned for its annual Scarecrow Festival held in late June/July and a grand New Year's Day firework display. There is a village shop/pharmacy, post office, The Cottage Inn (good bar food) and the Rugby Club - visitors welcome!

South Pembrokeshire Beaches and Coastal Path

Little England Beyond Wales

South Pembrokeshire is often referred to as 'little England beyond Wales'. The locals speak English, place names are English and yet the area is surrounded by Welsh speakers on all sides even in north Pembrokeshire! During the 12th century Henry I allowed a number of Flemish to settle and they were soon joined by English settlers. The Flemish and English languages were similar at the time. This led to the extinction of Welsh in the area.

Pembrokeshire's Secret Waterway & National Park

Do explore this unique local inland detached section of the Pembrokeshire National Park - a peaceful, tranquil area with lovely scenery, bird life aplenty and lots of wonderful woodland and riverside walks and waterside villages.

Skomer Island

Boat trips to Skomer Island leave regularly from Martins Haven (weather permitting) . Tickets can only be bought on the day of sailing at Lockley Lodge. Be early to be sure of a place. Be prepared to see myriad seabirds including comical puffins and seals.

Marloes

Marloes Sands is a must visit, this National Trust beach is fabulous with spectacular geology, great for rock pooling.

Milford Marina and Museum

Once a commercial quayside, the busy marina is now lined with cafes, restaurants, smart shops and Phoenix Bowl - a ten pin bowling alley with an indoor play area.
Milford Haven Heritage & Maritime Museum is situated in the old whale oil storage building built in 1797 and one of the oldest buildings in the town.

Why you love Alberta's Cottage

We spent a wonderful week in Pembrokeshire at the end of October. Alberta's Cottage was our base for the week and was a perfect place to relax at the end of our days exploring the area. The cottage is a little gem and everything we could possibly need for the stay was there as advertised. It is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Many thanks to Sarah and Grahame for a wonderful stay and lovely Welsh Cakes!
