Self-catering in Tenby

With our purse strings being severely pulled in several different directions lately, the last holiday we had was in a Tenby Self Catering Cottage, well strictly speaking we were closer to Saundersfoot as that was the closest we could get to Tenby.
Now Tenby and the surrounding area has a lot to offer from Folly Farm to Pembertons Chocolate factory, the beaches, Caldey Island, plenty of castles and wonderful walks. Whether you are looking for a relaxing time, or are taking the family, every sort of holiday is catered for from karting and horse-riding to adventure parks and pretty gardens.

Of all the places in the UK that I have visited, Tenby and the Pembroke coast remains an absolute firm favourite not just with me, but with the whole family. And having experienced a few breaks in this area, I can say that without a doubt having a place of your own is definitely very relaxing, and being able to self-cater certainly makes the stay reasonably affordable.
Not that there are not plenty of places to eat out especially in Tenby itself, the Plantagenet remains a firm favourite though we can't afford to eat there on a daily basis (!) the Bay Tree is a nice place for a lunch-time meal, or how about a picnic on Caldey Island?
You will not lack for things to do in this most beautiful and rewarding corner of Wales.

Tenby

One of my favourite Welsh haunts is Tenby and it's surrounding area. There is so much to do, it makes for a perfect family holiday - even if you don't get beach weather every day. Tenby itself has plenty of facilities for the traveller and plenty of room on it's beaches. There is an array of places to eat with fresh fish being the speciality along with a variety of Welsh lamb dishes.
Venture into the surrounding countryside for attractions such as Folly Farm (for the kids), Pembertons Chocolate Farm (for yourself), there are castles, gardens and outdoor pursuits of all kinds within easy reach of Tenby. The rest of the Pembroke coast offers alternative beaches if Tenby gets too busy. A relaxing time can also be had on Caldey Island, boats run from Tenby beach at regular intervals (£10 per head for adults) over to the Island populated by monks.
There are a lot of caravan parks around this area mostly populated with fixed site caravans, many of which are available for hire. Holiday lets in cottages and flats around the region are also widely available. If you are anywhere near the 'M4 corridor' travelling to Pembroke is a cinch as long as you are aware that there is a short stretch of the M4 through Swansea limited to 50mph.
