One kilometre of woodland pathway connects this detached, three bedroomed, cedar-wood lodge to the Blue-flag, sandy beach of Broadhaven on West Wales’ Atlantic Coast. Nestled on a south-facing slope next to the woods, within 130 acres of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Haroldston Lodge really does provide the perfect antidote to the chaos of urban life. The large picture windows which adorn its well-designed living area not only flood the space with light and invite effortless appreciation of the beauty of the natural surroundings that won this unique site, the David Bellamy Special Distinction Award. The veranda across the front of the property provides an ideal spot for bird watching and observing the activity at the nearby otter ponds, while inside is well-equipped and comfortable. The site Wi-Fi is very unreliable at the moment. Site management are trying to rectify this hopefully it will be resolved in 2025.
This superb location offers guests access to the fishing reservoir, well-stocked with large carp and other coarse fish, children’s play equipment, adequate parking for a boat and trailer and a vast, unrestricted, varied landscape perfect for walkers. A twenty minute takes you to the the large sandy beach of Broadhaven, offering bathing for families, with a dog-free section April to September. The Ocean on the seafront is an excellent venue for absorbing the view whilst enjoying a drink or a meal, they open all day. A ten-minute walk in the woods on the upper path takes you to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
There are great places to eat out in Broad Haven and Little Haven. The Pembrokeshire coastal bus service operates a hail and ride for the whole of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail, easily accessible from the road by the church.
Whilst the lodge has everything you need for a relaxing, peaceful holiday, it is best used as a base to explore beautiful Pembrokeshire.
Towels are not included.
Wi-Fi is currently very unreliable, site management are trying to rectify this but can’t see it being resolved until 2025.
Suitable for up to 2 pets

We had high hopes for this lodge, based on its on line photos, information provided by the owner and its location. Sadly, those hopes were dashed when we opened the lodge door to be greeted by a strong smell of dog. The lodge itself was grubby, needed a thorough deep clean and refurbishment. My wife would normally say "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything". But, in this case it needs saying. In comparison to the fabulous lodge we stayed at for the previous 4 nights, this very a very poor comparison, including value fir money.

Haroldson Lodge is in the most beautiful location. On the edge of Haroldston Woods, the coastal path is a short walk to the beach. The bluebells edging the path and all over the area made walking the dog magical. We saw rabbits, a lonely grouse and ducks in the grounds.The lodge itself is spacious and cosy at the same time. The only fault we could find was that the tv kept freezing, which was quite frustrating. Otherwise it was a perfect holiday.

Stayed at the lodge for the 2nd time, lovely base for walks, a beautiful setting, we had a small issue with slugs getting in which isn't pleasant but being so close to nature is unavoidable I suppose, also this time of year European Hornets active and we had one come through the vent in the kitchen, once again something that can't be helped but the size of those things! Cabin clean & comfortable otherwise, and so peaceful.
