The beautiful and unspoilt Pembrokeshire coast is an idyllic spot for a walking holiday, or just a relaxing break to chill out and do as little as possible! A former windmill, Twr y Felin is a unique luxury hotel situated just a ten-minute walk from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and Caerfai Bay. With elegant, modern interiors, a fine dining restaurant and a stunning collection of modern art, this is a fabulous place to stay in one of Wales’ finest travel destinations, and it’s no surprise that it has attracted a substantial amount of attention in the press, including being featured in The Times – The Cool Hotel Guide. Twr y Felin is a little over a five hour drive from London via the M4. Alternatively, you can take the train from London Paddington to Haverfordwest (about four and a half hours journey time). Complimentary transfers are available from the station.
