This wasn't our first visit &, hopefully, it won't be our last. It's not just about the comfort & quiet setting of the bungalow. It's about the places nearby that are well worth a visit - beautiful beaches at Tenby, Saundersfoot & surrounding areas. Lovely walk from Bosherston down to Broad Haven South Beach & coast walk to Barafundle Bay. Then there's Narberth with it's niche shops & Pembroke itself. A superb castle surrounded by Millponds, with a nice place to walk round. Also, the people are so friendly. We sometimes just go for a walk around the local streets & people stop & talk to you.
