Slebech Park Estate

Slebech Park occupies a long stretch of the tidal Daugleddau, the wooded inland estuary that Pembrokeshire people call the secret waterway. The estate runs to several hundred acres of parkland, woodland and foreshore, and includes the roofless twelfth-century church of the Knights Hospitaller standing alone at the water's edge.

Accommodation is mostly in the handsome Georgian courtyard buildings behind the main house, converted into suites and rooms with exposed stone, high ceilings and estuary outlooks; there are also larger self-contained options for families. The restaurant occupies the former stables and cooks with produce from the estate's own gardens and the surrounding farms.

The atmosphere is closer to staying on a private estate than at a hotel. Guests can walk for hours without leaving the land, take a boat out on the Cleddau, fish, or drive twenty minutes to the open coast at Broad Haven and Newgale.
