Relax at Felindre

Felindre is set in eight acres of land and there is plenty of space for children to play. Felindre is surrounded by farmland and there are panoramic views of coast and countryside from the cottages and the lodges. You'll find it pleasant to sit outside your cottage and just enjoy the scenery, watching the Buzzards hunt over the neighbouring lands.

Stroll down to Porthgain and the Pub!

But if you don't just want to sit and relax, you'll find Felindre is ideally situated to enjoy all the delights of North Pembrokeshire. The spectacular coastline, the quiet sandy beaches, the open hilltops of the Preseli Mountains and the tranquil woodlands of the beautiful Gwaun Valley. We have inluded on this web site lots of good quality pictures showing Felindre and the spectacular coastline around us, including aerial photopraphs.

The historic city of St Davids, with its majestic cathedral, Bishops Palace, shops, art galleries and restaurants is only six miles away.

Eating! -There are some excellent restaurants nearby. We have a lovely little wine bar/bistro with character called The Shed in Porthgain, named as the Best Seafood Restaurant in Wales by the AA. Click on The Shed . (It specialises in seafood, has an AA award and also has a bar!) The Sloop Inn, a short walk away, offers a good variety of restaurant/bar meals. Click on Sloop Inn. There are a wide selection of restaurants in Solva, St Davids, Fishguard and beyond to suit all tastes and budgets. (Ask us, we've eaten in most of them!....)

Birdwatching- Over 300 species have been noted in the area, including buzzards, peregrine falcons, choughs, puffins and kingfishers, and there are four of the best seabird islands in Europe close by. Buzzards are nesting at Felindre and they can frequently be seen hunting over the nearby fields and woods.

Walking - Pembrokeshire's mild Atlantic climate means you can enjoy a walking holiday here at any time of the year - indeed, coming out of season means you can have some of the best walking in Britain virtually to yourself. There are endless options for those who want no more than a days walking or an early evening stroll and Felindre is just a few minutes away from the Coastal Path.

Beaches - There are twenty different beaches within a 12 mile radius of Felindre. The beautiful National Trust beach at Traethllyfn, (pronounced tray-thloo-in), is just 1 mile away and can be reached by footpath from Felindre. At the moment you can not drive there along the farm track, but that just means there are less people on the beach! If you need to drive to a beach there are lots of others, including Abereiddy, Whitesands and Newgale.

Surfing - Traethllyfn, Abereiddy, Whitesands and Newgale beach are all excellent for surfing. Surfboards, wetsuits, windsurfers etc can be hired locally.

Golf - There are three local courses near Felindre, including St Davids, a beautiful course, with superb sea views. We have a set of clubs for those who just want to give it a go!

Riding - We have a number of local stables which offer horse riding over spectacular scenery and cater for all ages and experience.

Boating - We can give you information on the many different boat trips in the area and can recommend the Voyages of Discovery trip around Ramsey Island, which is an RSPB bird sanctaury and home to a large colony of Grey Seals. For more details on the Ramsey Island trip... link to (Ramsey Island)

Whale watching - We went on the Voyages of Discovery Whale watching trip which is a two hour trip out past Ramsey and Skomer to Grassholm, the "Gannet Island!" A fascinating trip where apart from seeing the Gannets you may see Minke whales, porpoises and dolphins. We were lucky enough to be surrounded by about 80 dolphins on one trip and I was able to video it with shaky hand and dodgy commentary..... Take a look at video ten on Felindre videos

Fishing - If you want to fish, we can tell you the best spots, or help you arrange a boat trip.

Adventure - There is even an outdoor activity centre where the children, (or you), can experience kayaking, climbing, surfing and coasteering in safety.

Relaxing! - For those who want a more leisurely break, this is a peaceful, quiet area, even in the height of summer, a perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy the wildlife, the flowers on the cliff top, and marvel at the scenery as you explore the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which stretches for 168 miles, skirting Britain's only coastal National Park.
