Wolfscastle Country Hotel

About Wolfscastle Country Hotel

Wolfscastle Country Hotel sits in the village of Wolf's Castle on the main road between Haverfordwest and Fishguard, roughly in the middle of Pembrokeshire. The building started life as a stone vicarage and has been extended a number of times, giving a slightly rambling layout of older rooms, newer wings and a garden building. It has been in the same family's hands for decades and has a settled, unpretentious feel.

Bedrooms number around twenty and vary from standard doubles to family rooms and suites, some with balconies overlooking the grounds. The newer rooms are larger and more contemporary; the older ones have more character but less space. All are en suite with the usual tea trays, televisions and free wi-fi, and family rooms can take up to four. Dogs are accepted in designated rooms.

The hotel added a small spa with treatment rooms, a sauna and a relaxation area, which is useful in poor weather. The restaurant has held AA Rosettes over a long period and puts Pembrokeshire seafood, Welsh beef and lamb at the centre of the menu, with a bistro option for lighter or earlier meals. There is a bar with a terrace, plenty of parking, and gardens sloping down towards the Western Cleddau tributary that runs behind the property.

The middle-of-the-county position is the practical advantage: St Davids, Fishguard, the Preseli Hills and the south coast beaches are all within about half an hour, so you can cover a lot of ground without changing base. It suits touring couples, families and walkers, and the Fishguard ferry to Rosslare is fifteen minutes away if you are combining a stay with a trip to Ireland.
