On to a shore thing

St Brides, Wales

This has to be one of the best spots for views from a hotel room, with most of the 34 rooms taking in the sweeping Carmarthen Bay and cliff-lined coast. The pretty town of Tenby is nearby and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park offers serious walking terrain. There are six two-bedroom apartments done out with contemporary nautical-coloured (blue and blonde wood) artworks created by locals.

The spa overlooking Saundersfoot has everything you need, from treatments to a thermal suite and outdoor pool.

The Cliff Restaurant cashes in on those fabulous views and serves up splendid seafood dishes alongside other locally sourced bites such as Welsh venison and Pembrokeshire duck. We love the “no mobile phone” policy too.
