Exploring Pembrokeshire:
We visited Buttles Caravan Park in 2022. We chose The Caravan Park because it has good reviews on Google. We were not disappointed. The caravan park is clean, the facilities are well-maintained, and we had a hard standing. Nearby: A ten-minute flat walk takes you to the Begelly Arms for a drink or an excellent meal. Most Saturdays they provide live music. A few minutes on, you will find the very popular traditional local bakery for fresh bread, rolls, pastries, and cakes.
