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.

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.

We were enchanted with this delightful lodge in a beautifully maintained natural setting close to Broadhaven. We had everything needed for a comfortable stay while we rediscovered the delights of Pembrokeshire. The lodge was incredibly quiet and peaceful and the lack of artificial light around the site ensured wonderful starlit nights. We are already planning our next visit!

The owner, Christine, very helpful and supportive, provides a clean and cozy cottage here. Extra over head light comes from a skylight effect and being timber there's a good level of natural materials working with the weather.Good bathroom size, instant warm water, very comfy beds. I enjoyed my stay.
