Grove of Narberth
Gentle luxury with genuine Welsh warmth. Think roaring fires, big sofas, garden views through stone-mullioned windows and a team that remembers your name. Not stiff or formal — they call it 'hwyl' (Welsh for joyful spirit). Smart casual throughout.
Book the Fernery well in advance, especially for weekends — it fills up quickly
