Tenby in the sunshine.

Sunshine! Yes it's a bit cold, but we have woollies and waterproofs, so what does it matter. It's wonderful! The beaches in Tenby are beautiful. The kids are happy with rock climbing, building sandcastles and paddling and the dog just loves it! Everyone is happy.

We're heading off to Tenby for an Easter family holiday this weekend. We all have very fond memories of an Easter family break we had in Pembrokeshire in 2007. It was tropical! We were all on Broad Haven South beach in shorts and vest tops. Dare I say it, it was too hot! I fear we will need a few more woollies this year!

Taking the train.

Now that we have a Family and Friends Railcard, I'm wondering if we can make use of it in Pembrokeshire. There are options from Tenby, though apart from stops within a few minutes of Tenby, ie Manobier and Saundersfoot, I'm unsure of where would make a good afternoon destination. My mother has never been on a train, so it would make a memorable trip for her, but hubby wants to stay by the coast and the kids aren't keen on shopping...

 

So, Narbeth, Whitland, Carmarthen or Ferryside?

Doing a spot of research.

Well, we are off to Tenby next weekend, with family and the dog. I thought I should research a few places to eat that allow all of us. The dog comes everywhere!

Shall we, shall we not ?

Easter is family get away time. Sometimes parents come, but always my brother and his family. So soon after our adventures in London we debated if we wanted to go. So, I started doing some research, nothing really caught my eye with the criteria we need. Sleeps 8, takes a dog, parking, close to town and beach, a layout and beds suitable for our family. Plus we will be traveling at peak bank holiday times, which can't be avoided this year.

So, Pembrokeshire is the destination, to avoid motorways, and reasonably close by. I eventually stumbled on a house in Tenby, Ashford Villa, that fits the bill and was a great price too. So it would be silly not to go, wouldn't it.....
