The smell of salt hangs in the air here, and on still mornings you can hear the slap of water against the quay below.

Stackpole sits in that famously beautiful wedge of south Pembrokeshire coast, all limestone cliffs and sheltered coves, and these pods and chalets suit couples after a proper coastal escape or small families who want the outdoors without the canvas. You're a stone's throw from Barafundle Bay — regularly listed among Britain's best beaches — and the wooded shores of Bosherston Lily Ponds, where the light through the trees is something else entirely. It's walking country, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs right through.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth checking what's included with your particular unit when you book. Dogs are welcomed by arrangement, and campfires depend on what's allowed when you arrive — ask on the day. The vibe is quiet and tucked-away, more about waking to seabirds than late-night singalongs, exactly what you'd hope for in a spot this close to the clifftops.

Stackpole Estate Wildlife Walk, Stackpole

Meanders through ancient woodland and coastal habitats on mostly flat National Trust paths with gentle inclines near the coast. Suitable for older children but rough terrain and length make it challenging for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near wildlife areas. Excellent for spotting woodland birds, butterflies, and seasonal wildflowers, with possible glimpses of otters near Bosherston Lakes and dramatic limestone cliffs at Stackpole Head.

Secrets of Stackpole Court Walk, Stackpole

Explores the historic Stackpole Estate on mostly flat, well-maintained paths through woodland and past the elegant ruins of Stackpole Court. Perfect for families with buggies and young children – short enough for little legs and pushchair-friendly throughout. Dogs welcome on leads. The route reveals estate history through interpretation points and offers peaceful woodland strolls just minutes from Pembrokeshire's stunning coast, making it an easy cultural add-on to a beach day.

Castlemartin Range Trail (East) Alternative

**Not suitable for families or casual walkers.** Crosses MOD Castlemartin Firing Range with strict access restrictions—check range times before setting out or risk being turned back. Terrain is exposed clifftop and coastal heath with steep sections and minimal waymarking. Dogs must be on leads due to military land and ground-nesting birds. Only attempt when range is open; rewards include dramatic limestone cliffs, sea arches, and Stack Rocks viewpoints rarely seen by visitors.
