Romantic Breaks in West Wales – just in time for Valentine’s Day

West Wales is a fantastic destination for a romantic getaway, offering stunning coastlines, charming villages, and serene countryside. Here are some suggestions:

1. Coastal Retreats

  • Tenby: Known for its picturesque harbour, sandy beaches, and colorful houses. Enjoy a romantic walk along the South Beach or a boat trip to Caldey Island, along with an abundance of restaurants. Two of our properties have the perfect sea view setting in the romantic Tenby Harbour, Kemendine Harbour View or The Lookout.
  • Saundersfoot: A quaint village with beautiful beaches and perfect for sunset strolls, and lovely pubs. Stay in the wonderful Footprints or Ser Ar Y Bryn.
  • Llansteffan: A pretty seaside village, with lovely beach walks, and it’s hilltop castle. A few quaint pubs, perfect for an evening tipple, and award winning restaurant, one of our favourites – Inn at the Sticks.
  • Laugharne: A pretty township, ideal for couples who love walks and culture, with its castle, links to the poet Dylan Thomas and lovely Milk Wood Spa. Perfect romantic getaways include Y Bwthyn with its log burner, Chapel View with modern interior, Frogmore with uninterrupted Castle views, enjoy a hot tub with a sea view in Lloret, or marvel at the panoramic view from York Lodge.

2. Countryside Escapes

  • Carmarthenshire: Stay in a country cottage surrounded by lush greenery, or in the beautiful Brecon Beacons – so many rural areas to choose from in an area named the “Garden of Wales”.
  • Pembrokeshire: Inland Pembrokeshire is just as beautiful as the coastal parts, yet still within a short distance of all the wonderful coastline. Stay in Middlelands, spacious and grand,  yet filled with warmth and character.

3. Unique Accommodation

  • Traditional Farmhouses Stay in a luxurious farmhouse in the Brecon Beacons with rolling hills and star gazing opportunities – Have a romantic break in Wildhaven, surrounded by countryside walks or cosy up in front of the log burners, or a refurbished farmhouse with hot tub close to the Preseli Hills in Drefach.
