“Castlemead Country House By The Sea benefits from its spot in Manorbier, a village distinguished by its ancient castle, and also because the hotel sits a short walk from the beach. The dining here seems a real advantage, as I read that the restaurant uses local, seasonal ingredients, and the property welcomes pets, even in the dining area. For those drawn to the Pembrokeshire coast, this feels like a particularly good home base.”

The mussels are a must-try! Cooked in cider, bacon and cream, the liquor alone is unforgettable. The sea bass is outstanding as well.
