The Pembrokeshire Hideaway

Rooms

There are two types of tent: the luxe Geodomes and the simpler Stargazers.

The Geodomes are perfect for couples. Upon arrival, you enter through a private wooden gate to find the dome on one side and the kitchen and bathroom (with toilet and shower) in a separate wooden building on the other. Inside the dome, the main feature is the generous super-kingsize bed, with a wood burner in front of it. You can relax on the two-seater sofa and watch movies on the smart TV, with access to popular streaming platforms provided. Warmth and colour comes from soft rugs, cushions and bedspreads. Budding astronomers can enjoy the night sky with the small telescope in the room. Outside, you get your own wood-fired hut tub.

The Stargazers are closer to actual camping than the Domes, but with some added luxuries you wouldn't get at a normal campsite: a queensize bed, a bathroom with toilet, a stargazing roof, and an outdoor kitchen and bathtub. They also have two futon mattresses so kids can bunk with you too.

Features include:

• Hairdryer
• In-room treatments available
• WiFi

Eating

All the tents come with fully equipped private kitchens - indoors in the Geodomes, outdoors in the Stargazers. Each is complete with a two-burner hob, microwave oven, small fridge and barbecue equipment. If you are planning on eating in most days, you can arrange a Tesco delivery to the site before your arrival. There is a small community shop in the village for essential items, otherwise, you will need to drive 20 minutes to the nearest supermarkets.

If you fancy splurging on more of a once-in-a-lifetime dinner, you can book into Annwn Restaurant, run on-site by Michelin-starred chef Matt Powells. The set menu changes depending on the season, with most ingredients foraged and grown in the gardens. Courses might include locally caught oysters, duck eggs from the woodland, kelp broth and gorse flower custard.

For a traditional pub meal, head to the Lawrenny Arms, a 15-minute walk away, which offers all your usual classics, from fish and chips to vegetarian bean chilli.

Features include:

• Coffee maker
• Kitchenette
• Microwave

Activities

• Visit the nearby award-winning beaches for a quick swim, leisurely walk or even a little rock pooling. We recommend Manorbier or Swanlake, as they are the closest and there are lovely coastal walkways leading from each; Barafundle Bay is also stunning
  
• Go stand-up paddleboarding along Pembrokeshire’s unspoiled coastline - head into hidden caves, paddle alongside magnificent cliffs and jump into crystal-clear water
  
• Go foraging with Michelin-starred chef Matt Powell. Book a table in his restaurant for the evening and you can taste the fruits of your labour!
  
• History buffs can take guided tours of nearby Picton Castle or Pembroke Castle
  
• Book an art lesson with local artist Louise Burdett
  
• During the winter months, use the telescope in your dome to gaze up at the stars. You can map the craters of the moon or discover a new constellation

• Art classes

Kids

Kids are welcome, and during the summer the campsite is popular with families. All tents have kitchens so you can self-cater meals. There are no organised activities for kids (but worth checking beforehand), but there are plenty of fun attractions in the area, including fabulous sandy beaches to play on.

Best for:

Children (4-12 years)

Family friendly accommodation:

We think the Stargazers are better suited to families, as they are more spacious than the Geodomes. Everybody will have to share the same space, but kids will have their own futon mattresses on the floor, with a heated blanket. We would not recommend more than two kids per tent.
