- Small but spacious site with spectacular views and dark skies
- Peaceful and central location for reaching the coast and Preseli Hills
- Working smallholding half an hour's walk from Llys y Frân Country Park
Can’t decide whether to holiday on the Welsh coast or in the hills? At Llys-y-Frân Preseli Holidays, you’re in pole position for both.
This small, peaceful and family-friendly site is on a five-acre organic smallholding with gorgeous views over Pembrokeshire – and it’s near Maenclochog, 10 minutes’ drive from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and around half an hour from beaches like Poppit Sands and Newgale.
Tucked into a willow copse, this is a mini nature reserve where you’ll be greeted by birdsong every morning. Guests have access to washing-up facilities, toilets and hot showers a short walk away from the pitches. Every pitch also comes with its very own firepit, so guests can factor in plenty of alfresco time.
You’ll probably see the owners pottering about scything, weeding or watering from time to time – they are more than happy to give you a tour of the smallholding as well as suggest places to visit. And keep your fingers crossed for clear nights, as Pembrokeshire is famous for its dark skies and the stars can put on spectacular performances for you.

Local attractions
From the site, it’s just a stroll to Llys y Frân Country Park and Reservoir (half an hour’s walk) for woodland walks and cycle tracks, or trips out on the reservoir by kayak. Fishing, archery, a BMX pump track and all manner of other activities are on offer too.
Walkers, head for Preseli Hills with footpaths across wild heathland to hike the ancient Golden Road (20 minutes’ drive); the nearest Preseli peak is Mynedd Castlebythe (20 minutes) with far-reaching views from its summit. Combine exercise with history on a visit to Gors Fawr Stone Circle (15 minutes) and the neolithic Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (20 minutes). At Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (25 minutes) you can see reconstructed roundhouses on the site of a former hill fort.
On the Pembrokeshire coastline, head north to Dinas Head (half an hour) for Atlantic views from craggy cliffs or Cwm-yr-Eglwys (half an hour) for its quiet sandy beach. Driving west brings you to Broad Haven and Newgale beaches (both half an hour), or to the Blue Lagoon (40 minutes), a stunning spot in a former quarry filled with the brightest of blue water.
