Neyland · Sleeps 4 · 2 beds
Converted boathouse on a wooded Cleddau creek near Cresswell Quay — kayaks, kingfishers and the Cresselly Arms.
Marina village on the Cleddau — Brunel's old Atlantic terminus, now a quiet sailing base at the heart of the waterway.
Neyland was Isambard Kingdom Brunel's pick for his transatlantic railway terminus, and his statue watches over the marina that now fills the old dock. It's a quiet spot: yachts, herons, the graceful sweep of the Cleddau Bridge overhead, and the Brunel cycle trail running along the old railway line to Johnston. For visitors it works as a sheltered, central base — Pembroke and its castle ten minutes over the bridge, Milford and Haverfordwest similar, and the upper Cleddau's wooded creeks (Lawrenny, Cresswell Quay — pint at the Cresselly Arms among the boats) close by for kayaking and quiet-water days.
Around the marina and Promenade for water views; upriver villages (Lawrenny, Landshipping) for deep-green estuary quiet.

Big sandy beach, busy little harbour and a proper seaside village centre — Tenby's more relaxed neighbour, three miles up the coast.
Britain's smallest city — a cathedral in a hollow, Whitesands Bay up the road, and the wildest, most beautiful corner of the national park all around.
