Set above the glittering waters of Fishguard Bay in North Pembrokeshire, our hotel offers breathtaking sea views, freshly prepared Welsh produce, and the perfect base for exploring one of Britain's most dramatic coastlines.
Fishguard Bay Hotel has welcomed guests to this remarkable corner of West Wales since 1898. Perched on the hillside above the harbour, our hotel commands panoramic views across Fishguard Bay — on a clear day you can see across to Ireland.
We are a genuinely independent hotel, family-run and fiercely proud of our Pembrokeshire roots. Every room looks out over the bay, and our restaurant champions local fishermen, Welsh farmers, and the best seasonal produce this county has to offer.
Whether you are crossing to Rosslare on the ferry, walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat by the sea, Fishguard Bay Hotel is your home on the headland.
Every one of our 38 rooms and suites has been individually furnished and looks out over Fishguard Bay or the surrounding Pembrokeshire countryside. Wake to the sound of waves and the cry of seabirds.
Our signature rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing the bay. Furnished in calm nautical tones with hand-painted Welsh tile work and locally sourced oak furniture.
Spacious suites with a separate sitting room overlooking the working harbour. Includes a roll-top bath, walk-in shower, and a private balcony for evening sunsets over the bay.
Peaceful rooms overlooking our walled kitchen garden and the Preseli Hills beyond. Ideal for walkers and those seeking a quieter retreat, with direct access to the lower terrace.
Our superior rooms offer extra space and the most dramatic vistas from a raised position on the third floor. Perfect for honeymooners, anniversaries, and those who simply deserve the best.
Thoughtfully designed for guests with accessibility requirements, these ground-floor rooms provide full sea views without compromise. Wet room, wide doorways, and lowered facilities throughout.
The finest room in the house. Corner position with 180-degree bay views, a private terrace, four-poster bed, bespoke Welsh wool furnishings, and butler service throughout your stay.
Head Chef Sion Davies sources shellfish directly from Cardigan Bay's day boats, landed fresh each morning at Fishguard Harbour.
Our restaurant has earned four AA rosettes for its honest, ingredient-led cooking. We work with a tight network of local suppliers — Pembrokeshire farmers, Cardigan Bay fishermen, and Preseli foragers — to bring the finest Welsh produce to your table.
The dining room faces directly over the bay, so you eat with the sea as your backdrop whether it is blazing at sunset or glittering under winter stars. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served daily.
Pembrokeshire's National Park stretches along 186 miles of coastline from St Dogmaels to Amroth. From wild coasteering to quiet birdwatching, there is something for every guest.

Pembrokeshire is where coasteering was invented. Scramble across wave-washed rock platforms, leap into blue coves, and explore sea caves with one of our recommended local guides. All ages and abilities catered for.
The Pembrokeshire islands of Skomer and Ramsey are among Britain's finest wildlife reserves. Watch puffins, Atlantic grey seals, dolphins, and porpoises on day trips that depart from nearby ports. We arrange group bookings.

One of the most dramatic headlands on the Welsh coast, Strumble Head offers superb birdwatching and is one of the best places in Britain to spot passing dolphins and porpoises.
A classic circular walk from the hotel takes you around this dramatic headland with views back across Fishguard Bay. The route passes an Iron Age promontory fort and is carpeted in wildflowers in spring.

"We have stayed at many hotels along the Welsh coast but Fishguard Bay is in a class of its own. The view from our room was simply breathtaking — we watched the sunset over the bay every evening from our bed. The restaurant is genuinely exceptional, not just good-for-a-hotel-restaurant but actually superb."
"We had booked the hotel simply as a place to stay before catching the morning ferry to Rosslare, but the moment we arrived we wished we had planned a longer stay. The staff are genuinely warm and helpful, the rooms are beautifully done, and the lobster we had for dinner was the best we have ever eaten."
"Pembrokeshire is a wonderful part of the world and Fishguard Bay Hotel is the perfect base for exploring it. The concierge organised our coasteering session and boat trip to Skomer — both fantastic. Breakfast was enormous and delicious. We will be back without question."
