Top 5 Quirkiest Places to Stay in Pembrokeshire

This might be the maddest accommodation in Wales — and we're absolutely here for it. Apple Camping has a genuine UFO (yes, a spaceship-shaped pod you can sleep in) and a converted Jet Star aircraft fuselage. Both are completely functional accommodation, with proper beds, heating, and all the essentials.

The UFO sleeps two and has porthole windows, mood lighting, and a distinctly "we've landed in a Welsh field" vibe. The Jet Star keeps its airline windows and overhead luggage bins, repurposed into the strangest glamping experience you'll ever have.

The site also has more conventional yurts and domes, but let's be honest — you're here for the UFO. It's gloriously ridiculous, surprisingly comfortable, and guaranteed to be the most memorable place you've ever slept.

Burrowed into the hillside at Florence Springs are a collection of hobbit houses that look like they've been lifted straight from the Shire. With curved doors, round windows, and grass-covered roofs, these are as close to Middle Earth as you'll get in West Wales.

Inside, they're surprisingly spacious — proper beds, fully equipped kitchens, and en-suite bathrooms. Many have private hot tubs on their decks, and the whole site has a tranquil, fairy-tale atmosphere.

Florence Springs also has treehouses and luxury yurts if hobbits aren't your thing (though frankly, we don't trust anyone who doesn't want to sleep in a hobbit house). There's a fishing lake, nature trails, and you're just a few miles from Tenby's beaches.

If you're going to stay in a castle, make it a proper one. Roch Castle is a 12th-century Norman fortress perched on a volcanic outcrop with panoramic views across St Brides Bay. It's been immaculately restored into a luxury boutique hotel, but it still feels distinctly castle-y — thick stone walls, winding staircases, and a genuine medieval atmosphere.

Each of the six rooms is individually designed, with huge beds, designer bathrooms, and views that stretch to the Preseli Hills. The Tower Suite, in the original Norman tower, is particularly spectacular.

What makes it special is the contrast — modern luxury inside ancient walls. You're in a castle, but you have underfloor heating and a rainfall shower. Breakfast is served in the medieval hall, and there's a hot tub in the courtyard. Properly pinch-yourself stuff.

Fforest is the kind of place that makes you reconsider your entire lifestyle. This 200-acre farm on the banks of the Teifi River has been transformed into a glamping paradise — geodesic domes, safari tents, and cabins scattered through ancient woodland and wildflower meadows.

There's a farm shop, a pizza barn, communal fire pits, and a riverside beach. The atmosphere is laid-back and community-minded — you'll probably end up chatting to strangers around the fire and making plans to swim in the river at dawn.

The accommodation ranges from simple bell tents to the extraordinary Fforest Dome — a transparent geodesic structure where you can stargaze from your bed. It's glamping done with genuine style and soul.

If you're coming to Pembrokeshire for adventure — coasteering, sea kayaking, surfing — there's no better basecamp than Preseli Venture. This eco-lodge is run by the adventure company of the same name, so you can roll out of bed and straight into the action.

The accommodation is dorm-style or private rooms, with a communal kitchen, cozy lounge with wood burner, and drying room for your soggy wetsuits. It's not luxury, but it's clean, comfortable, and perfectly designed for active trips.

What makes it quirky is the setup — it's basically a summer camp for adults. Book a coasteering and accommodation package, eat communal meals, swap stories with fellow adventurers. If you're traveling solo, this is where you'll make friends.
