Pembroke Castle
This mighty fortress is largely intact and its endless passages, tunnels and stairways are great to explore. Make sure you don't miss the medieval life exhibitions.

2 x 2 bed rooms, 2 x 4 bed rooms, 2 x 6 bed rooms
Our hostel is self-catering only but you'll find plenty of equipment to use - even a rolling pin! There are two fridges, a freezer, two toasters, two kettles, two microwaves, two ovens and twelve hobs, plus lots of pots, pans and cutlery to use. Our facilities put some of the big hostels to shame, so bring your stuff and get cooking. There's a shop in town five minutes away and we sell some chocolatey treats at the hostel too.
Hire the whole place
This hostel is occasionally made available for hire on an exclusive basis. This means that you can have the place to yourself and choose how many of your friends, family, club mates, etc., join you. We allocate availability for exclusive use in blocks, typically up to 90 days in the future. If you are looking for space to stay with us on a normal shared basis, and can’t see any availability three months or more into the future, then this hostel may be being held for Exclusive Hire. You can check availability for Exclusive Hire on our dedicated website.

Meet the team
Manager recommends: Walk the section of coastal path that runs in either direction, with great views on a clear day and fantastic wildlife - Pembrokeshire at its best! Or walk from YHA Newport Pembrokeshire to YHA Poppit Sands - named the New Zealand of the Northern Hemisphere, the northern end is the highest and most dramatic section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Along the route you’ll encounter seriously impressive rock formations such as the cliff folds and collapsed cave around Ceibwr Bay. Beyond that, Cemaes Head is the best place to spot seal pups in autumn. Turn the corner and the Teifi Estuary comes in to view. The area’s home to bottlenose dolphins, porpoise and, for the night, you.
