The separate dining room also offers a comfortable place for listening to music, catching up on emails, or simply reading in peace.A third seating area gives easy access to the steps leading up to the small private, south-facing garden, with patio, summerhouse, garden furniture and some sea views.

It nestles in a cove at the junction of two  streams. Too small for much development, Little Haven retains its traditional charm. In spite of its size, it has a seasonal sea activity centre, café, a seafood shop which offers coffee and local products, and pubs offering a warm welcome and good, locally sourced food. Just over the headland, or across the wide beach at low tide, is Broad Haven which has a well-stocked convenience store as well as a selection of other eating places, and craft, beach  and water sport shops.Little Haven is within easy reach of both north and south of the county, as well as the historic centres of St Davids, Tenby, and Pembroke with its medieval castle. It makes a superb and peaceful centre from which to explore the award-winning golden beaches, dramatic coastal paths, clear waters and amazing wildlife of this splendid part of Wales. There is also a multitude of activities including golf, horse riding, zorbing, karting, family attractions, water sports and much more.Wildlife abounds. You can take boat trips to fish for mackerel, or to see the dolphins and seals, or visit the island reserves of Skomer, Skokholm, Ramsey and Grassholm with their thousands of puffins, shearwaters, gannets and gulls.  The marine reserve in the waters around this section of the coast also offers rewarding snorkelling and diving.  In the autumn secluded coves shelter seal pups.Other water sports available include bodyboarding, windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, and, for the adventurous, coasteering. The village has a slipway for launching small boats and there is an additional water sports shop which rents out equipment just half a mile away in Broad Haven.  Or you can just relax on the sand or on the village green while keeping an eye on children dam building, exploring rock pools and playing on the sheltered, award-winning family beach.If you would rather keep your feet on dry land, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park offers some of the best natural walking experiences in Britain. The stunning 186 mile long coastal path runs through Little Haven and there are countless other paths and trails crossing hills and moorlands, passing by prehistoric burial chambers, through secluded coves, river valleys, and ancient woodlands and along the challenging wild cliffs. Truly, Pembrokeshire offers something for everyone and Little Haven is at its heart!(July 2022)
