The CastleInn, Newport

The Castle Inn occupies a 19th-century stone building on Bridge Street in Newport, within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, less than a mile from Newport Bay. Run as a single-site free house under Castle Inn Pembrokeshire Limited, it offers a bar, restaurant and beer garden alongside three en-suite letting rooms. The drinks list runs to local real ales, a range of ciders and a wine list; food is freshly prepared with ingredients sourced from Pembrokeshire suppliers where possible, covering a regular menu and Sunday lunch. Dogs are welcome throughout the bar area, and free off-road parking is available, useful given Newport's narrow streets. It suits walkers finishing a stretch of the coast path as easily as locals dropping in for a pint after work.
