Tenby is a fab place to be based - fantastic beach in the town, loads of really isolated beaches near by. Lots to do if it does rain.

We went to Cornwall this year but much prefered south/west wales!

Bosherton lily ponds are worth a visit and have an empty beach at the end of a nice walk. Freshwater West - lovely beach (10 minute walk down steep path though).

folly farm really good for a wet day.

WE stayed at St. Dogamels - it was lovely. There is a nice sandy beach near by and a lovely pub overlooking the estery. st davids is not far awat. WE did a lovely boat trip round an island.

Another vote for Broadhaven and Bosherston. Good pub nearby too, and a couple of B&B's and a camp site. Don't know what the weather's doing though!

[fruittea]

have a look at this

[suzycreamcheese]

thanks guys! good to know its nice area..

the cottages look great but not really got a whole week..and like to tour about a bit too...

have been to mountains and north wales but never this bit..

trying to find children friendly b&b's, nice restuarants and beachy cove places sort of thing..

..and its too fecking cold and windy and miserable to be go out to library here....

this is the most depressed i have ever been over the weather! if i wanted this i could've stayed in scotland .....its probably nice there now....

[fruittea]

Well, if you do go down to Bosherston/Broad Haven, the St Govan's Inn is child friendly. It's a tiny little hamlet really, so not many B&B's, but you might find something. Don't confuse it with the other Boradhaven which is bigger and a bit further round the coast! Pembroke is good, nearby, and has lots of B&Bs and the castle is great - lots of towers to clamber round, that sort of thing, and the town has lots of pubs/chippies etc.

Folly Farm is great for little ones, as someone mentioned, for in betweeny days, although a lot's outside too.

Pembrokeshire coast is really lovely. Walked the coast with dh pre-kids. Is there acoastal village called Newquay there or have I misremembered the name. At any rate, it is really lovely.

[CountessDracula]

It is lovely round St Davids

[CountessDracula]

Whitesands bay is it called? Great beach

[suzycreamcheese]

fruittea...sounds really good...adding it all the list ...with my stubby pencil!

[fruittea]

It's a great place if you can get in, walkable to the beach, or there's a NT carpark at the end anyway.

[fruittea]

I want to go too!!!

[suzycreamcheese]

fruittea..thaat sounds wonderful place!
i'm gonna ring them tonight see if they can squeeze us in!...
is this Broad Haven near Little Haven?..if so just spotted it..

thanks for tips and positive feedback folks...really cant wait to go..

Wiseman's Bridge is lovely - they do great food at the pub - the rockpooling on the beach is fantastic, and if you want a sandy beach, the blue flag beach at Saundersfoot is around a coast path (flat, and cyclable).

The Dinosaur Park is also a good day out - near Tenby ...

[fruittea]

No, the Broadhaven I've been waxing lyrical about is nearer Pembroke. Often known as Broadhaven South. The other is further round the coast, which is also a lovely area.

Manor House Wildlife Park

Pembroke Castle

[Dropdeadfred]

Newgale beach and Barafundle bay are great!

[suzycreamcheese]

fruittea..just found bosherton now!

with full veggie breakfast a winner I'm sure..

all on the list..ring round tonight..

the grey has not lifted here all day even if weather is iffy coast is good fun..have gone stir crazy i think...

[fruittea]

Barafundle is lovely - but iirc it's a long walk from the car park, and no loos!

[suzycreamcheese]

fruittea..sounds ideal!
