How are you for speaking a bit of the fine Welsh language? We’re a little shabby too. So a trip to Noble Court Holiday Park - a quiet, family- and totally dog-friendly site on the outskirts of Narbeth, where a third of the town’s 2000 residents are Welsh-speaking, should soon help us tell the difference between our shwmaes and hwyl fawrs.
Take a jaunt down the beaten track from the normal tourist hotspots of Pembrokeshire to this tucked-away site away where you can really see that there’s a lot more to the diverse Welsh country than daffodils and leeks. Homely and quiet, Noble Court has spacious, hedge-separated pitches, and is literally situated down a secluded road to give the place a really hidden feel. In the heart of Pembrokeshire though, and only half a mile from the A40, you are never far from popular holiday destinations should you want to explore farms, theme parks and castles. There are opportunities to go karting and quad biking both nearby too so youngsters, and those who fancy themselves as young at heart, can try a bit of (safe and appealing) thrill seeking.
The camping fields here are perfect for those after a quiet break: the site’s hot showers, washing-up areas and water points are available for all to make for an easy and carefree getaway. Guests will enjoy ambling about the countryside, almost as much as their pooches if they’re lucky enough to be brought along for the trip, as there are plenty of great dog-walking opportunities close by. The fresh Welsh air will be sure to get their tails wagging. The area is teaming with cycle routes so there’s no excuse not to get stuck into the 40 acres greenery surrounding you.
Weather causing you jip? Skip down to the Celtic Bar on site for entertainment, merriment and a drink or two - the bar opening times do vary so check when you book what to expect. From early June (Whitsun) till the end of August take the plunge and dive into the site’s outdoor pool - the kids will certainly go feet first for them. That’s while they’re taking a bit of time out from the two adventure playgrounds of course. The well-maintained football pitch, games room and amusement arcade will entertain everyone till it’s time to bed down too. Fall hook, line and sinker for the well-stocked coarse fishing lake on site - just remember your licence or permit before casting your line.
Pitching up in inland Pembrokeshire, you’d expect nothing less than countryside to make a city dweller swoon. Noble Park is in the thick of it, but aside from just standing back and taking in the scenery, embark on a few jaunts to really soak up the atmosphere (and maybe the odd ale) of the place too.
Small, lively and with the majority of residents speaking Welsh, experiencing Wales doesn’t come much more authentic than strolling into Narbeth. Just a short walk from the campsite, the friendly little town is lined with attractive cottages and shops and has plenty to offer visitors for a day or evening out. Mooch around the stylish boutiques and antique shops, take home treats from The Welsh Farmhouse Company, then stop in at one of the town’s pubs or cafés. Make your own trip momento while you sip a cuppa at The Creative Café - where you can decorate your own pottery while you tuck into a snack. Just don’t get the two mixed up, otherwise your lemon drizzle may not taste as you’d hope.
Scenic walks, horse riding and outdoor activities are also available about the town as is the chance to explore the remains of Narbeth Castle which dates back to 1116. Still seeking entertainment? Check out the events going on at the town’s Queens Hall. Sampling some of the best local beers in the town’s unique and quirky pubs, all within walking distance from the campsite, is great fun too.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is about a 40-minute drive north of Noble Park. The 240 sq miles here capture where ocean meets land; take to the waves on your surfboard, don your walking boots for hiking or hop on a bike and follow the cycle routes. The National Park’s natural habitats and farmland make it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts with lots of rare species of flora and fauna to spy, while sandy beaches and rocky coves reaffirm the beauty of the Welsh coast. Just offshore lie Pembrokeshire’s unique islands, each with their own special characteristics. Now if these don’t get the kids’ imaginations running wild as they whip up tales Enid Blyton herself would be proud of, we don’t know what will. Cloudy lemonade, anyone?
Historians, gather round! Prepare to be fascinated by the prehistoric tombs, Celtic crosses, Iron Age hill forts, Norman castles, medieval churches and Victorian towns and villages surrounding Noble Park.
Educate and entertain the children at Folly Farm, just ten minutes south of the campsite. This adventure park has a zoo and a vintage funfair to busy youngsters all day long. Carry on southward and animal lovers will find Manor House Wildlife Park and slightly further still you’ll get to Heatherton Activity Park. Paintballing, archery, tree-top climbing, go-karting, golf… you name it, we’re pretty sure this leisure park offers it. While you’re Tenby-way, make a trip to Makin’ Tracks for the chance to hop aboard tanks, segways and quads… If it’s got wheels and picks up a bit of speed, you’re likely to be able to ride it here.
Hop on to the A40, just half a mile from Noble Park, and you’ll gain easy access to all the area’s main attractions to the west and south west. Oakwood Theme Park and Clerkenhill Adventure Farm are both around a ten-minute car journey away from the campsite. Grab your cossie and hit Pembrokeshire’s all-year-round water park Bluestone and Blue Lagoon which is less that ten minutes west on the A40 - the flumes, inflatables and wave machines will mean coaxing the kids out may be tricky, but the evening opening times mean you won’t need to rush them away.
Just half an hour southwest lies Pembroke Castle - birthplace of Henry VII. Informative and entertaining for visitors young and old, this is ‘hands-on’ history. Explore the labyrinth of passageways, look out over the river estuary from the tower and head up 75ft to the (exceptionally) Great Keep. Pack a picnic and sit in the green grounds or take to Wogan Cavern for lunch in the castle’s stylish cafe. Huzzah - we doth think the castle provides royally good fun for all!

peaceful, pleasant site 17th Jul 2013 norma s. (Family with older children, 1 review) Confirmed
From the manager...
We would like to thank you for taking the time to post a review, and would like to respond to the comments that you have made. The swimming pool is featured in the pictures that advertise the park on Pitchup.com and indeed on our own website, although not a large pool, most people find the size adequate to enjoy. The pool is outdoor and unfortunately has sycamore trees which are very close, the sap from these trees has caused permanent staining to the coping stones surrounding the pool, the quality of the water is monitored and checked regularly both by ourselves and independently. Major alterations to the enclosure of the swimming pool took place before the 2012 season, which along with recommendations from the local authority provided one entrance onto the swimming pool area, this enables us to monitor that children do not enter the swimming pool unaccompanied to ensure the safety of our guests. As the swimming pool is outdoor, we do not have a fire exit from the area, the only other entrance into the pool is a locked gate for our maintenance team to access without going through the building. As with any holiday destination opening hours for facilities vary, we state on our website clearly the opening hours of all facilities to provide accurate information to the guest prior to arrival. We sadly do not have a garden area to the bar, but neither do we advertise one, we do have a patio area, which we have a thatched outside table as featured on our pitchup.com photos and we also have a couple of picnic benches (I am not sure if these came after your visit). The park does have 2 shower block facilities with a total of 7 showers for ladies and 6 for the gents, which is over the recommended requirement by Visit Wales for a park offering 92 touring pitches, at the time of your stay we would have had no more than 23 pitches occupied, we were awaiting parts for the shower you mentioned as it had broken down. The locks on the toilet doors have been rectified, a couple had shrunk as a result of the lovely hot weather we have been experiencing lately and some were subject to broken locks, our maintenance team have addressed these irritating problems for the convenience of future guests. I am sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay, we are a family owned and operated park, and strive to provide enjoyable holidays for our guests, we want people to visit us time and again, we do ask that problems are reported as soon as they occur in order that we may rectify the situation if possible and to allow continued enjoyment of the facilities we provide. |

Lovely quiet site to walk around, and enjoyed a few beers in the bar! 23rd Jul 2013 pbarnes (Young couple, 1 review)
From the manager...
Hi pbarnes, Thanks for submitting your review and we are glad you enjoyed your Holiday on the Park. The Bar has indeed just been refurbished for the 2013 Season and comments have thus far been excellent. Unfortunately we are unable to offer alcoholic drinks around the pool area for safety reasons and understand your frustrations. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. |

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our park,
The pool is outdoor and unfortunately has sycamore trees which are very close, the sap from these trees has caused permanent staining to the coping stones surrounding the pool, However the quality of the water is monitored and checked regularly both by ourselves and independently.
The broken shower you mention was awaiting parts to be fixed,again however further down the park there was a larger Shower block with 4 more showers available to you.
We unforunately dont have a shop on site, but as we are within a mile of the town of Narberth with its fantastic boutique shops and super markets there is only a small requirment for a shop on site, we do however sell ice creams in our Reception Area, i have noticed that you have left two identicial Reviews but thank you anyhow. All comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
