Skokholm Log Cabin is a romantic woodland hideaway, tucked in amongst the trees below the slopes of the Preseli Hills, just above Rosebush reservoir. Inside and find all the comforts of a little home: cosy but not cramped - a peaceful retreat for two! Skokholm Cabin will suit those seeking a peaceful escape from everyday life. Immersed in nature it might not be for everyone but our guests appreciate the privacy, dark skies, birdsong, wild animals and wild flowers.

The cabin is light and airy with French windows opening out from both the living area and the bedroom onto the wide south-facing veranda so the afternoon sun streams into the cabin.

Ideal for walkers, you can hike for miles through the unspoilt scenery of the Preseli Hills with their moorland slopes and far reaching views over the surrounding countryside to the coast at Newport. If you fancy a more level walk, there is a 6 mile path round Llys y Fran reservoir. The Pembrokeshire coast path offers plenty of great options. Give your feet a rest and try trekking through the Preselis on horseback. Or off-road cycling at Pantmaenog (half a mile away) or a few miles further at Llys y Fran, where there is a pump track and cycle hire.

Llys y Fran Lake also offers extensive watersport hire, fishing, archery, climbing wall and cafe with adventure play area. Wild swimmers will enjoy discovering Rosebush Quarry pool, the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy and of course so many other beach spots.

The famous traditional pub Tafarn Sinc, serving real ale and good food, is just 4 minutes by car or 20 minutes by foot if you are feeling energetic and would like to 'soak-up' the local atmosphere!

Centrally located, Skokholm Log Cabin is ideally placed for exploring Pembrokeshire: Newport, Fishguard and Cardigan are within 20 minutes and Tenby and St Davids within 45 minutes. The glorious Pembrokeshire Coast with its spectacular path and lovely beaches is within easy reach - Newport Sands is a 15 minute drive, Broad Haven is 35 minutes.
