Overview of Fishguard Bay Resort
Fishguard Bay Resort occupies a clifftop position between Fishguard and Newport within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes directly through this park, giving guests immediate access to coastal walking routes, secluded coves and wide views across Fishguard Bay and the North Pembrokeshire coastline. You can view other parks for lodge holidays in Pembrokeshire here.
Accommodation includes one, two and three-bedroom lodges, larger holiday cottages, a three-bedroom apartment, caravans, studio accommodation and glamping pods. Touring caravans, motorhomes and tents are also welcome, giving couples, families, groups and campers several ways to stay in the same coastal setting.
Private hot tubs are available with much of the lodge range, the apartment, larger cottages and the studio accommodation. The lodge collection sleeps between two and six guests, while the largest cottage sleeps up to twelve. Selected accommodation welcomes dogs, including one, two and three-bedroom lodge choices.
The facilities complement walking and sightseeing days rather than dominating the holiday. Guests have access to an essentials shop, coffee lounge, launderette, information room, book swap and WiFi, while treatments can be booked at the Pamper Pod. Touring and camping visitors have heated washrooms, a shared kitchen and covered dishwashing facilities.
Fishguard Bay Resort is ideal for couples planning a hot tub break, families exploring Pembrokeshire, walkers following the coast path, dog owners and guests who want their accommodation to overlook the sea.
