On the glorious Pembrokeshire coast, Ed and Lou Sykes run their Georgian stone house as a smart restaurant-with-rooms, successfully blending character with cool contemporary design. Some of the chic bedrooms have a view of Carnigli, others look out to Newport Bay; three are in a mews annexe. there's even a dog-friendly yurt. You can dine in the traditional flagstone cellar bar or in a modern pod in the garden as well as in the main restaurant. Ed, a dedicated forager, occasionally gives short courses on hunting for wild food. At breakfast, don't miss the salmon smoked in the brick kiln out the back.
