Fishguard - A Town With Character

Fishguard is one of Pembrokeshire's great small towns: a working harbour, a historic square, and a real sense of community, all wrapped in some of the most dramatic coastline in Wales. It's a place that rewards slow mornings and long walks — and after five years of sharing it with our guests, we still don't tire of it.

On Your Doorstep

  • 100 metres to the local supermarket — perfect for stocking up without needing the car

  • 5-minute walk to Fishguard's town square, with a great range of cafés, pubs, and restaurants open throughout the day

  • Fishguard Harbour, with its ferry connections to Ireland and a lovely Lower Town character all its own

Further Afield

The Old Police House sits at the heart of North Pembrokeshire, making it an ideal base for exploring the wider coast:

  • Newport — roughly a 15-minute drive, with one of the region's best-loved beaches and a lively little town in its own right

  • Trefin — around 15 minutes away, a picturesque coastal village with a beautiful stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path

  • St Davids — about 20 minutes' drive, Britain's smallest city, with its stunning cathedral and a choice of glorious beaches nearby

Whether you're after dramatic coast paths, golden sand, fresh seafood, or simply somewhere beautiful to watch the sun go down, it's all within easy reach.
