Wolfscastle is a village in Pembrokeshire, with a pub and restaurant both serving food, a shop, and a pottery where you can watch the potter at work and purchase some Welsh gifts. There is a mill close by at the foot of the Great Treffgarne Rocks, with a scenic woodland walk, a cafe and shops selling locally produced gifts and foods. Haverfordwest, the County town, offers a great shopping day out plus the chance to explore the castle, museum and river walks during the day or the bustling night life later on.

Unfortunately the property was damp. We sat on the sofa and got up with damp trousers, the bedding was cold and damp to get into at night. Although the property accepted dogs, it was not until we arrived that we were informed to keep dogs off the furniture and out of the beds, I would not have booked this property had I known this before. However we found the owner very pleasant and the location very peaceful and a great central location in Pembrokeshire.
