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!!
I highly recommend doing a bicycle tour. We went in April and had the guide to ourselves. It was great to get an overview of the city and the coast. Very easy cycling and the guide was fantastic.
The tour operates out of a new hostel, based in the Old Town;

Fantastic hotel located in the Old Town. Very swish! The staff were very friendly and the hotel has a great wine cellar in the basement - very cosy and tucked away. The sommelier was equally impressive, persuading us out of our comfort zone and recommending some excellent wine. We ate in the restaurant, which was, again, great. In fact we could find no fault with the hotel at all.
Here’s an example of the level of service: I ran out of batteries for my digital camera and the reception went off to find some and gave me new batteries - no charge. Unusual in this day and age. Definitely worth a treat if you are heading this way.
It's located on the edge of the Old Town, within easy walking distance of all the sights, restaurants and bars.
