The cottages are just a few minutes walk from the centre of Fishguard, a market town with galleries and all necessary food shops including an award winning butchers.
A farmers market takes place once a fortnight and market day is held in the Town Hall every Thursday. There are a selection of pubs around the square, many serving good food. One of these, the Royal Oak, is where the treaty with the French was signed, which ended the last invasion of the British Isles, back in 1797. The pub is full of memorabilia of that historic time and the local folk club meets here every Tuesday.
Lower Town Fishguard was the major location for the film “Under Milk Wood” by Dylan Thomas, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. In the distance are the Preseli Hills where the Bluestones of Stonehenge are believed to have originated.
