I love making great food for our lovely guests her at Fields Lodge Bed and Breakfast. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been awarded so many Breakfast Awards and are officially Pembrokeshire’s Finest Breakfast! Every day we make fresh bread–white and wholemeal and I’ll tell you why….
So here we are, a half way through the year!
Scary!! Where has the time gone? Of course, this year is different, as we have only been open since the middle of May and things are still a little different.
Here’s things you will benefit from knowing if you’re coming or thinking of coming to Pembrokeshire over the next few months
Yaay! The Puffin population has increased and at the recent count, we are at nearly 40,000 Puffins! How fantastic is that?
However, there is a downside, and as so many people are keen to visit, after not being allowed to last year, the tickets to visit are in short supply.
And soon, the Pufflings will be making an appearance! Check out the image above by the very talented Monica Doshi, a guest who has stayed with us several times, and who loves Skomer and the Puffins.
More tickets have just been added to actually land on Skomer as a Day Visitor-and cancellations do happen, so it’s good advice to keep checking the online booking site if you’d like to go
There are also boat trips around Skomer, and if you find that the day you want to go is already sold out, then it might be worth looking at Voyages of Discovery in St Davids, as they do a trip from there that comes down to Skomer. As this trip is not as well known (as yet) there are often tickets available here.
Best Tip: If you know you want to go, book your tickets as soon as you can
It is pretty busy in Pembrokeshire at the moment. Not Cornwall busy, I would have to say(thankfully!) but there is demand in the good places to eat.
My advice here is to book your evening meals before you arrive. Leaving it until you arrive will mean that your first, second and maybe even third choice will be already booked up.
Lunchtimes, there’s still scope for a late booking, but an evening will definitely need to be booked.

Best Tip: Plan where you’d like to eat and book it up before you get here
I am delighted that this year the Museum on Milford Marina is now fully open after a long refurbishment. The outside of the museum now looks like it would have done back in 1797. Do pay it a visit for a few hours interactive fun(even for adults) and don’t forget to keep an eye out for ‘Feilds Parrallel Rule’ designed by one of the ancestors of Fields Lodge
And, hot off the press…well, it’s not even at the press yet…there are new ‘Heritage Walks’ to be enjoyed along Milford Marina.
There are 3 separate walks and they are interactive, so you can learn of Milford’s rich history whilst enjoying the surroundings.
Once the press release has gone live, I will write about it more fully.
So, these, together with the Quaker Walk around Milford Haven will give you lots of interesting views and history to enjoy
Best Tip: Great for a colder/wet day-Milford Museum and all the lovely boutique shops at Milford Marina

Have you got Ian Dury in your head after reading that title? Reasons to be cheerful…Part 1! That’s all I can hear and it’s making me smile 🙂
I know…..I’m really looking forward to getting abroad, but it’s just not right for me at the moment.
One minute a country is red, then it’s green, then it’s amber. Then you have the government saying only go abroad if it’s necessary…so what’s a girl to do?
Well, we’ve been open now just over 4 weeks and are adapting to the ‘New Normal’
The Welsh Government have allowed us to open our Dining Room , and so, we are back to serving breakfasts in here, albeit, slightly differently.
Instead of the glorious breakfast buffet, which was your first course, we now serve this directly from the kitchen for you.
You still have all the choice, but rather than actually help yourself, you choose what you would like and we bring it to you.
It’s not the same, but of course, the food does still taste delicious-check out what one of our recent guests said!
And then, once you have finished your first course, we then deliver to you, your hot, main dish-again served directly from the kitchen for you.
Our guests have been very pleased with how we are adapting, and I don’t feel it’s impacting too much.
Maybe the biggest change is that we now have set eating times, to ensure we can maintain social distancing, by only having 2 tables in the dining room at any one time. So, when you arrive, you can choose from the available time slots which one you would like.
As far as your rooms go, once you have checked in, we are not entering again until you have checked out, and so, should you need anything topped up whilst on your stay, you can let us know and we will pop whatever you require in a box and leave outside your room, ready for when you return.
That seems to be going ok with our guests to date too!
We have an e-guest in room book now, instead of the book you may have flicked through once you’re in your room, and we send you a link to that before you arrive, so you can start to get excited about your stay even more now!
If you’re ready to book your stay, then click here and choose your dates, we’d love to see you!

See all the lovely things that our recent guests have said about us since we re-opened
I went to a roadshow a while ago, organised by Visit Wales. It was an event where the good and great of the Tourism Industry were present, lots a great businesses and producers for us to meet and inspirational speakers.
One of the speakers, started their segment with …’Multi-award winning, that’s what all businesses strive to be able to say’…….
And I thought…..THAT’S US!
Fields Lodge is having a photo competition!
Have a great shot of nature? Plants, animals, landscape, a marvellous sunset maybe?? Then do share your lovely image with us at Fields Lodge.
It could win you a free night’s stay!
Hooray! Fields Lodge now has an alcohol licence.
This means that you can now arrive, kick your shoes off, relax and enjoy a lovely glass of welsh bubbly with your Supper Patter.
No having to get showered and changed to go back out for an evening meal.
Just sit back, chill, relax and indulge.
Sounds like heaven to me!
