Porthgain - Strumble Lodge

Made from Norwegian logs, 4-star Strumble Lodge is a light and airy log cabin furnished to a superb standard. It is set in a peaceful development of similar cabins at Felindre, in a peaceful secluded valley that takes you to the picturesque fishing harbour of Porthgain, with its family pub, fish restaurant and gallery.

Sleeping 5 in 3 bedrooms, this perfectly proportioned log cabin, tastefully furnished with modern fixtures and fittings and open plan style living is a fantastic holiday cottage for everyone, with numerous beaches and stunning walks close by.

With its elevated position the lodge enjoys lovely views towards Strumble Head, and as night falls Strumble Head lighthouse can be seen twinkling in the distance.

And thanks to its rural location, Strumble Lodge is the perfect place if you're a fan of stargazing or astrophotography. When darkness falls, you can go outside and get cosy with a blanket and steaming mug of hot chocolate, while exploring the night sky.

Atmospheric, historical, stunning, wild, surprising, intriguing, great fish and chips; some of the words visitors to Porthgain have used to describe this pretty fishing village on St David’s Peninsula.

Situated on a steep hill, at the end of a pretty country lane, sloping down towards the sea is the old fishing harbour of Porthgain. Set around a traditional village green with picnic tables and goal posts, this picturesque fishing village, once buzzing with industry is now a very popular tourist destination and boasts two renowned and highly acclaimed restaurants, The Shed Bistro and The Sloop Inn, both serving sensational catch-of –the-day seafood straight from the boat, excellent art galleries, a popular harbour for launching kayaks and dive boats, and of course its superb location in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The air is crystal fresh and the light clear and bright in Pembrokeshire, perfect for artists. Local art is displayed in two excellent galleries in Porthgain.

The night skies are free from light pollution and tranquillity surrounds you. In fact, Pembrokeshire is a must-see destination if you have an interest in astronomy or astrophotography because the county has eight Dark Sky Discovery Sites, including Newgale beach, Poppit Sands, Garn Fawr, and Broad Haven.

Porthgain is the ideal location for walking as the Pembrokeshire Coast Path can be reached from both directions with the local beaches of Aberfelin, Traethllfyn, Abereiddy and the Blue Lagoon all within walking distance. The clifftops here offer splendid views of the north Pembrokeshire coast line and a plethora of wildlife and wild flowers; be sure to watch out for the must-see birds found in the area – the chough and the peregrine falcon.
