You’d better be good at making decisions if you stay here. Should you spend the day learning to ride a horse, or climbing and abseiling on spectacular cliffs? Or would sea kayaking, surfing, canoeing, windsurfing or scuba diving be more fun? All these activities can be arranged at this modern, purpose-built single-storey hostel. There are safe beaches just 100 metres away, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Footpath running past the hostel and boat trips to nearby islands. But whatever you decide to do, toast the day with a glass of wine at the hostel while you watch the sun set over St Brides Bay.
