Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront celebrates successful first year in business

TŶ HOTEL in Milford Haven is celebrating its first successful year of operation since opening its doors to the public. The hotel is operated by the Port of Milford Haven and The Celtic Collection, the team behind Wales’s iconic Celtic Manor Resort.

Located at the heart of Milford Haven, home to the UK’s largest energy port, the area was recently granted freeport status by the UK and Welsh Governments, aiming to attract significant investment, as well as the creation of 16,000 jobs.

In its first twelve months, Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront welcomed more than 35,000 guests and created 60 permanent jobs with many more supported in the supply chain. It also achieved an impressive four-star grading from Visit Wales inspectors within just a few weeks of opening.

The hotel’s performance has exceeded expectations throughout its first year of trading. School holidays were predicted to be busy with average occupancy peaking at 86% for the month of August, but the amount of business generated year-round by the Port of Milford Haven has produced a constant flow of corporate travellers and visitors outside of the peak seasons.

To mark its one year anniversary, Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront hosted a “celebrator-tŷ” soirée for the local community. Guests enjoyed live music, cocktails, and delicious food created by Simon Crockford, Executive Head Chef at the hotel’s waterfront restaurant, dulse, using the very best Pembrokeshire produce.

Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront is managed by Pembrokeshire native, Adrian Andrews, who returned to his roots to open the hotel last year.

Mr Andrews, Manager at Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront said: “We’re delighted to celebrate our first year in beautiful Milford Haven. We’ve made some very special memories, but our success would not have been possible without the support of the local community, and the dedication of our team, who always strive to ensure our guests have an unforgettable experience.

“I am proud to call Pembrokeshire home. It’s such a beautiful part of the world, but for a long time, Milford Haven was something of a hidden gem. It’s been brilliant to shine a light on the area as a vibrant tourism destination. With its unique coastline, rich history, fantastic shops and restaurants, outdoor activities, and welcoming people, there really is something for everyone.”

This must-stay hotel is the ideal base for exploring the incredible beaches, historic landmarks, and local attractions that Pembrokeshire has to offer. With 100 contemporary rooms, each featuring floor-to-ceiling views over the marina, the hotel is suitable for all travellers, from business to leisure.

The brasserie restaurant, dulse, private dining area and bar all take advantage of the spectacular location, serving up beautiful views right on the water’s edge, whilst the ground floor houses a welcoming lobby and activity suite for fitness.

Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront is also home to four unique cabins, where guests can enjoy panoramic views of the water whilst floating amongst the boats moored at Milford Marina.

For guests seeking a self-catering option, ‘The Shores’ apartment is complete with a fully equipped kitchen, a sunny balcony to enjoy in the summer, and a fire to cosy up in front of during the winter.

Rooms at Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront are available to book now, with rates starting from £86 bed & breakfast per room, per night.

Woodhouse Barn: A wedding venue where Pembrokeshire celebrations feel truly personal

Rustic charm, countryside views and a warm family welcome make this Rosemarket venue one couples remember

TUCKED away down a peaceful country lane near Rosemarket, Woodhouse Barn has quietly become one of Pembrokeshire’s most sought-after wedding venues — offering couples an exclusive countryside setting where no two celebrations feel the same.

Set within six acres of private meadowland, the striking handcrafted barn combines rustic character with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a venue that feels both impressive and welcoming from the moment guests arrive.

For couples planning their big day, Woodhouse Barn offers something many venues struggle to achieve: elegance without formality, space without losing intimacy, and a setting that can be shaped around the couple rather than a rigid package.

Countryside views and exclusive surroundings

The venue enjoys sweeping south-facing views across the Pembrokeshire countryside, stretching towards the Cleddau Bridge and beyond.

Guests can enjoy drinks on the lawn, outdoor games in the sunshine and photography opportunities across fields, woodland and open spaces, while couples benefit from exclusive use of the grounds throughout their celebration.

Inside, the main barn offers a spacious banqueting hall and dance floor, alongside a distinctive loft-style gallery complete with additional seating and a private bar area overlooking the main celebration below.

Its striking timber staircase and viewing gallery have become particular favourites with photographers and couples alike.

Woodhouse Barn can host up to 160 guests for a seated wedding breakfast and as many as 250 for a more informal evening reception.

Exchange vows in The Hen House

For couples wanting their entire wedding day in one location, Woodhouse Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies within its unique ceremony space known as The Hen House.

Just a short stroll from the main venue, the eleven-sided wooden structure provides a secluded and intimate setting for exchanging vows before guests move back to the barn for the celebrations.

With exposed timber, natural surroundings and a handcrafted feel, it offers a setting that many couples say feels both romantic and memorable.

A family-run venue with a personal touch

One feature repeatedly highlighted by newlyweds is the support offered by owners Pat and Martin and their team.

Bride Ceri described Woodhouse Barn as an “absolutely stunning venue”, adding: “Pat was incredible. Staff were brilliant. We loved our wedding day from start to finish.”

Another bride, Becky, praised the venue’s relaxed atmosphere, outdoor setting and “amazing and quirky” features, including the barn’s memorable staircase and photography locations.

Carolynne, another recent bride, described it as “the most relaxed and beautiful venue,” saying the team went “above and beyond” to help create exactly the day the couple wanted.

That family-led approach helps explain why so many couples recommend the venue. Rather than feeling like one booking among many, weddings at Woodhouse Barn are tailored to reflect each couple’s own style and personality.

Stay and celebrate for longer

For guests travelling from further afield, Woodhouse Barn also offers accommodation through its nearby log cabins and bell tents at Woodhouse Village.

The option to stay on-site allows family and friends to enjoy the celebration without rushing home — adding to the feeling of a relaxed wedding weekend rather than simply a single day event.

For many couples, that extra time together becomes one of the most memorable parts of the experience.

Arrange a viewing

Couples planning a wedding or special celebration can arrange a private viewing to explore the barn, The Hen House ceremony space and surrounding grounds.

Woodhouse Barn: the beautiful Pembrokeshire wedding venue where every celebration feels personal

SET within six acres of private meadows near Rosemarket, Woodhouse Barn offers couples a relaxed, exclusive and unforgettable setting for their wedding day.

For couples planning a wedding in Pembrokeshire, finding a venue is about far more than choosing a beautiful backdrop. It is about finding somewhere that feels right from the moment you arrive: somewhere your family can relax, your guests can celebrate, and your wedding day can feel genuinely personal.

Hidden along a secluded country lane just outside Rosemarket, Woodhouse Barn has become one of Pembrokeshire’s most distinctive wedding and event venues – a hand-crafted wooden barn surrounded by countryside, open skies and beautiful outdoor space.

With its rustic character, flexible interiors and warm, personal approach, Woodhouse Barn offers couples the opportunity to create a wedding day that reflects them, rather than following a set formula.

A Beautiful Setting for a Day to Remember

The barn sits among six acres of private meadows, with south-facing views stretching across the Pembrokeshire countryside towards the Cleddau Bridge and beyond.

From drinks on the lawn and garden games in the sunshine, to photographs surrounded by fields, woodland and open skies, the venue gives couples and photographers a wealth of beautiful settings throughout the day.

Inside, Woodhouse Barn combines rustic charm with elegant, adaptable space. Couples can decorate the barn in their own style or theme, creating a celebration that feels personal from the moment their guests arrive.

The venue includes a spacious main banqueting hall and dance floor, an intimate loft seating area with its own bar, and a striking viewing gallery overlooking the heart of the celebration.

Whether a couple is planning an intimate wedding breakfast or a larger evening party, the barn can accommodate up to 160 guests for a seated wedding breakfast and up to 250 guests for a more informal evening celebration.

Exchange Vows in The Hen House

For couples who would like to hold their entire wedding day in one special location, Woodhouse Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies in The Hen House.

Just a short walk from the main barn, The Hen House is a secluded, eleven-sided wooden structure offering an intimate and memorable setting in which to exchange vows.

Its natural, hand-crafted character makes it a particularly special space for ceremonies: calm, romantic and full of atmosphere before guests move on to celebrate in the main barn.

More Than a Venue A Complete Wedding Experience

One of the qualities guests and newlyweds repeatedly praise about Woodhouse Barn is the welcoming, relaxed experience created by Pat, Martin and their team.

Recent bride Ceri described Woodhouse Barn as an “absolutely stunning venue” and said: “Pat was incredible. Staff were brilliant. We loved our wedding day from start to finish.”

Another bride, Becky, praised the friendly family team, the outdoor space, the many beautiful photography opportunities and the unforgettable staircase, describing the venue as “priceless, amazing and quirky.”

For Carolynne, the appeal was in both the setting and the service. She described Woodhouse Barn as “the most relaxed and beautiful venue,” adding that Pat, Martin and their team went “above and beyond” to make the day exactly what the couple wanted.

That personal approach is part of what makes the venue so special. Rather than feeling like one wedding among many, couples are given the space, support and flexibility to create a day that is truly their own.

Stay, Celebrate and Enjoy Every Moment

Woodhouse Barn also offers accommodation through its log cabins and bell tents in Woodhouse Village, allowing guests to stay close to the celebration and make more of the wedding experience.

For families travelling to Pembrokeshire, guests with children, or couples wanting to enjoy the morning after their wedding without rushing away, the opportunity to stay on site adds another special dimension to the occasion.

Previous wedding guests have praised the accommodation, the outdoor space for children and the relaxed feeling of being able to celebrate together across the whole wedding weekend.

A Venue Couples Fall in Love With

From the moment couples first visit Woodhouse Barn, the venue offers something very different: privacy, personality and a countryside setting that feels both impressive and welcoming.

It is a place where ceremonies feel intimate, receptions feel joyful, photographs feel effortless and the people behind the venue are personally invested in making each celebration memorable.

For couples looking for a beautiful Pembrokeshire wedding venue where their day can feel relaxed, exclusive and entirely their own, Woodhouse Barn is well worth discovering.

Arrange a Private Viewing

Couples planning their wedding or special celebration can arrange a private viewing of Woodhouse Barn and discover the venue, The Hen House ceremony space and surrounding grounds for themselves.
