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!

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.

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!
