Lleithyr Farm Holiday Park

Rocky the pygmy goat is 'one of the naughtiest boys on the farm', say the owners of popular Lleithyr Farm Holiday Park on the Pembrokeshire coast a mile and a half from fab little St Davids. Well of course he is – just look at that mischievous, plotting, furry little face.

He's just one of the inhabitants at this friendly, scenic and family-run farm site's animal farm walk, where your little critters can also make friends with miniature cows, pygmy goats, Kunekune pigs and small ducks, as well as the furry sorts at the large rabbit and guinea pig enclosure.

Also for kids is a new timber adventure play area with balance beams, climbing wall, bridges, tunnel, high house and slide; for grownups, there's a well-stocked shop with freshly baked bread, pastries and croissants from the in-store bakery; a butcher’s counter selling fresh local meats; and milk, cheese and dairy products, fresh fruit and vegetables, branded groceries and local alternatives.

An off-licence with a wide range of wines and beers is also available, as is Calor and camping gas cylinders, camping equipment, body boards, wetsuits, windbreaks and beach goods.

As well as all this, the site owners rightly point out there are heaps of reasons to visit this 180-acre farm: its quiet country lane location on the Pembrokeshire coast, for one, joining the Pembrokeshire Coast Path straight from the site via a quiet track, and with views from its flat site over the whole farm towards a volcanic ridge dropping steeply towards the Irish Sea. The farm is secluded enough for peace but easily accessible to the best of Pembrokeshire attractions, like the beach at Whitesands a mile and a half away.

Its facilities for another: the team members here are proud of the site and want guests to have as relaxed a stay as possible and to return many times, so they've ensured all is up to date and well maintained, including two clean and modern toilet and shower blocks with five male cubicles and five urinals, eight female cubicles, five male showers and five female showers, two family/disabled toilet and shower units, and free hairdryers and baby changing units.

Other site amenities include flat pitches, dishwashing facilities, drinking water standpipes throughout the park, chemical disposal and waste water points, and plastic bottle, can and glass recycling points.

There's also a launderette with two washing machines and two tumble dryers, an iron and ironing board and a deep handwashing sink, ice pack freezing, mobile phone charging and more; ask the farm team what's on offer when you arrive.
