Manor Town House

The address – Main Street – doesn’t do justice to the view from the rear of this Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse. The Manor’s garden terrace looks out across Fishguard Bay and the picturesque old Lower Town harbour. That’s not all: a gate at the bottom leads directly to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Perhaps that’s why Chris and Helen Sheldon, escapees from city life, bought the place a few years ago. Since then, this extremely hospitable, switched-on couple have been busy refurbishing The Manor – and, judging by feedback from contented guests, doing the right thing. The bedrooms – many with that stunning sea view – are big and airy. Downstairs, two elegant reception rooms have cosy log fires, and works by leading artists and photographers adorn the walls. Breakfasts are a special occasion – you can tuck into everything from freshly made waffles and fresh fruit to the full Welsh. The Great Little Places Guide

‘Delightful – it gets better and better.’ Praise this year from a regular visitor to this stylish, sky blue-painted B&B in the centre of the harbour town. Run by ‘friendly’ owners Helen and Chris Sheldon, the Grade II listed Georgian house has ‘wonderful views’ over the working port and across the water to Dinas Head. Guests are greeted with freshly baked Welsh cakes and bara brith, taken in front of the wood-burning stove in the lounge or, in warm weather, on a terrace facing the sea. Individually decorated with antique furniture, many of the ‘warm, accommodating’ bedrooms overlook the sea.
