All eggs and most vegetables and salads come from our kitchen garden ensuring that everything is fresh top quality and local! Forget food miles - here things are measured in yards! Dinner can be provided if booked in advance and we have a residential licence so you can choose from a selection of beers wines or champagnes at very reasonable prices. Enjoy the tranquility from a sunny lounge (complete with a baby grand piano) looking across the garden; and find out about the 500 years of history around you by browsing through the books about Pembrokeshire Wales and Welsh literature and culture. Borrow our large scale maps if you wish to explore off the beaten track.
