Large Group Houses in Newport, Pembrokeshire

Large Group Accommodation in Newport, Pembrokeshire

Newport, Trefdraeth in Welsh, is a small town on the Nevern estuary in the north of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with the sea on one side and the Preseli Hills on the other. It has a wide sandy beach, an old harbour, a mountain rising straight behind the houses and, for a town of a thousand people, remarkable food. A large group house near Newport puts the whole north Pembrokeshire coast, Cardigan, Fishguard and St Davids within 45 minutes, in a part of Wales that stays quiet even in August. This is the Pembrokeshire Newport; the city near Cardiff is 2.5 hours east.

Why North Pembrokeshire Works for Group Stays

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs through the town and out around Dinas Island; Newport Sands is a ten-minute walk across the estuary footbridge; Carn Ingli is an hour's climb from the top of the street. Three miles inland is Pentre Ifan, the finest neolithic burial chamber in Wales, with Castell Henllys Iron Age village and Nevern's bleeding yew and Celtic cross nearby. Coasteering and sea kayaking, which were invented on this coast, are bookable from the local centres.

Things to Do in Newport with a Large Group

Walk the estuary to the beach and on round Dinas Island to the pub at Pwllgwaelod. Climb Carn Ingli for the view over Newport Bay. Visit Pentre Ifan and Castell Henllys. Book coasteering or kayaking for the brave half of the group and a spa afternoon at the house for the rest. Drive to St Davids, Britain's smallest city, and the beach at Whitesands, or to Cardigan for the castle and the Teifi. In the evening, a private chef with Preseli lamb and Cardigan Bay crab is the meal to build the weekend around.

Eating and Drinking

Llys Meddyg, the restaurant with rooms on East Street, is why food people know Newport: a kitchen garden, a cellar bar and a dining room that takes big tables. The Golden Lion and the Castle Inn are the pubs, with the Royal Oak the third. Market Street and Bridge Street have the bakeries and cafés for the morning after.

Ideal Occasions

Newport suits family holidays and reunions that want a beach, a mountain and a manor house, walking and outdoor weekends on the coast path, hen weekends built around coasteering by day and the house by night, and Christmas and New Year by the sea with everyone under one roof.
