Narberth Guide

Narberth's cottages with hot tubs offer a fantastic base for exploring Pembrokeshire. This small market town packs a punch with independent shops, quality restaurants and a strong Welsh identity that's evident throughout its colourful streets.

The town sits just 10 miles from Tenby's beaches (TripAdvisor's #1 Pembrokeshire attraction) and 7 miles from Oakwood Theme Park. Folly Farm Adventure Park is only 5 miles away, making it perfect for families wanting countryside accommodation with easy access to attractions.

Narberth has a surprising royal connection - The Queen Mother visited in 1984 and praised its preservation of Welsh culture. The town's medieval castle ruins hint at its strategic importance throughout Welsh history.

Cottages range from cosy one-bedroom retreats with private hot tubs to large farmhouses accommodating 12+ guests. Many properties welcome dogs and some offer glamping options with outdoor tubs providing stunning countryside views.

Sightseeing

Narberth itself deserves proper exploration before you head off to the coast. The high street is packed with independent shops selling everything from antiques to local art. I recommend starting at Narberth Castle (SA67 7AX), open daily with free entry. While mostly ruins, the information boards give great context to the town's history.

The Golden Sheaf Gallery (SA67 7BU) showcases Welsh artists and craftspeople. It's open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and worth a browse even if you're not buying. The reviews (4.8/5 on Google) praise the friendly staff and unique items.

For food lovers, Ultracomida (SA67 7BU) is a Spanish deli and tapas restaurant that scores 4.7/5 on TripAdvisor. Their cheese selection is fantastic and they do great coffee too. Open Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm.

Just outside town, Blackpool Mill (SA67 8DE) offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's industrial past. The restored water mill sits alongside the Eastern Cleddau river with lovely walking paths. It's open weekends April-September, 11am-4pm.

Pet Friendly

Dogs will love the walks around Narberth. Canaston Woods (SA67 8DE) offers miles of trails through ancient woodland. The paths are well-marked and there's a dedicated car park. We've found it's rarely crowded even in summer.

Many Narberth cafes welcome dogs. The Peppercorn (SA67 7BU) not only allows dogs inside but offers water bowls and treats. Their outdoor seating area is perfect for hot days when you want to keep your dog in the shade.

The Narberth Museum (SA67 7AB) allows well-behaved dogs on leads, unusual for a museum. It's worth a visit on rainy days and scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor for its interactive displays about local history.

For beach trips, West Angle Bay (SA71 5AW) is dog-friendly year-round and just 30 minutes' drive. It's quieter than Tenby's beaches and has rock pools for exploring. There's also a dog-friendly café right on the beach.

Remember to pack towels specifically for your dog - especially if they enjoy swimming. The hot tub at your cottage is for humans only, so having dedicated dog-drying equipment saves hassle!

Top 3 attractions you have to see in Narberth

The Queens Hall (SA67 7AS) is Narberth's cultural hub hosting live music, comedy and theatre. This converted Victorian building has amazing acoustics and a packed events calendar. Check their website before your trip as tickets for weekend shows often sell out. Recent visitors gave it 4.7/5 on Google, praising the intimate atmosphere and quality of performances.

Narberth Food Festival (held in Narberth Town Centre, SA67 7BU) happens each September and transforms the town. Over 50 food producers set up stalls, there are cooking demonstrations and live music. Even if you miss the festival, many participating producers have shops in town. One TripAdvisor reviewer called it "the best small food festival in Wales" with a 5/5 rating.

The Blue Lake (SA67 8DE) is a hidden gem that many visitors miss. This former quarry has filled with water that's an incredible turquoise colour due to the mineral content. It's about a mile outside Narberth and requires a short walk through woodland. No swimming is allowed, but the views are spectacular and it's perfect for photography. Google reviews give it 4.6/5 stars.

Is Narberth worth visiting if we have a hot tub at our cottage?

Absolutely! While the hot tub is a great feature, Narberth offers so much more. The town has exceptional food shops, restaurants and pubs that regularly win Welsh food awards. You'll want to explore during the day and then enjoy your hot tub in the evening.

How far is Narberth from the beach?

Narberth is inland, with the closest beaches being Amroth (9 miles), Saundersfoot (10 miles) and Tenby (10 miles). All are easily reached in under 20 minutes by car. This inland location often means cottages here offer better value than coastal properties while still providing easy beach access.

What's the best time to visit Narberth?

September is ideal as the weather remains good but the summer crowds have gone. The Food Festival happens then too. That said, Narberth is a year-round destination with many cottages offering hot tubs that can be enjoyed regardless of weather.

Are there any good walks directly from Narberth?

Yes, the Landsker Borderlands Trail passes through Narberth and offers excellent walking. The 60-mile route can be joined for shorter sections. The Narberth-Canaston Woods section (3 miles) follows the river and is particularly pretty.

Where's the best place to eat in Narberth?

The Harbourmaster (SA67 7ES) consistently receives the highest ratings (4.8/5 on TripAdvisor). Their locally-sourced menu changes seasonally. Book well in advance as they're often full, especially for dinner.

Is Narberth suitable for children?

Yes, there's plenty for kids. Besides nearby attractions like Folly Farm, Narberth Park has excellent play equipment. Many cottages with hot tubs also offer secure gardens and family-friendly features.
