Well-situated independent hostel a stone's throw away from the Pembrokeshire coastal path - ideal for 'solos' or groups and families.
Situated in the centre of the village of Trefin.

No train station but the website gives great details on public transport links.
A super castle towering over the small village of Cilgerran, about three miles south-west from Cardigan.
Provides wonderful adventures for children and adults alike; the castle is perched above the River Teifi and feels just like the stronghold it was built to be!
Highly evocative!
Have already seen Whitesands and Barafundle mentioned, both stunning. Broadhaven, near Barafundle is amazing, as is the Church Doors, near Manorbier... too many amazing beaches to pick just one!
One of the best in Wales and a great place to sit on a sunny summer's day. I've spent hours in there over the years, partly because it's where I come from and partly because I keep on going back.
Top of the Main Street - you can't miss it!
Pembrokeshire is the new Cornwall! before all the tourists arrived and clogged the roads. Walk the Pembrokeshire coastal path, it has breathtaking scenery, golden sandy beaches in coves where you might not have to share your beach! Pebble beaches perfect for skimming practice and the locals are so friendly, they always have time to stop for a chat and find out about you - whilst keeping you up to date with the latest news in agriculture!!
Great beach. You'll have to walk along the path from Stackpole Quay for a while but it's well worth it.
Drive to Stackpole Quay, then follow the signposts.
As someone who drinks real ale and likes homely food in real pubs I would say you just have to visit the Speculation Inn on the road to Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. Locals range from surfers and oil refinery workers to local farmers and international consultants....all chasing that rabbit pie and Reverent James! Since Gerry and Teresa (Owners) put a wood burning stove in the front bar the heat has caused beer sales to go up by 36%.
The Badger Bolt (run or walk across lanes and paths from another pub) takes place 24th Feb and that night the Speculation hosts the Badger Bash! (live music, no animals will be harmed in the pursuit of pleasure).
Take the road to Freshwater West beach from Pembroke and The Spec is on a sharp bend ....can't miss it.
