Four Little Trees

Four Little Trees offers glamping retreats on a wildlife-rich smallholding near Pembrokeshire’s county town. You can choose from a shepherd’s hut for two with a hot tub and a family-sized one that comes with the option of bringing friends with tents. This camping-glamping set-up amounts to having a whole campsite to yourself. And whether you’re coming with one significant other or as part of a group, you’ll likely fall in love with the place. The huts are beautifully-designed, well-equipped places to stay. The surrounding woodland, meadows and salt marshes are simply enchanting and the location is a good one for exploring all of this part of Wales.

For a romantic retreat, it’s The Hut that you’ll want to book. This place looks pretty traditional on the outside but it’s contemporary in some ways too – with lots of pleasing designs and just enough mod cons. That means a sound bar for your tunes but no TV to distract you too much from what’s outside. It has a kitchenette, an en suite shower and loo. In a separate area of the smallholding is where you find Sheepshed and Fold; the family-sized shepherd’s hut bedroom (which sleeps up to four) with a separate kitchen and bathroom shed. It’s rustic but, like The Hut, beautifully designed and appointed with its own pizza oven too. It’s big enough to share – but you don’t have to unless you have brought camping friends. Up to six are welcome to pitch tents here in the summer months.

There are places to wander around the farm and there’s plenty of wildlife to see: red kites overhead, otters in the river, bats come out at night. You can walk from here to the Western Cleddau River or into Haverfordwest. With a car all of Pembrokeshire is on offer as Haverfordwest is a bit of a hub. The beaches of the West Coast are less than 10 miles away as is Milford Haven. Tenby, Pembroke and the Preseli Hills are all about half an hour’s drive.
