Smaller groups (8-12) can stay together in one of our larger self-catering properties, such as the Eco Barn or Penbwchdy Cottage, each with spacious communal areas and long dining tables.
Larger groups (up to 25) can spread across several properties on site, sharing our outdoor gathering spaces — from the sheltered courtyard to the meadow fire pit — perfect for BBQs, al-fresco lunches, or evenings under the stars.
For groups of six or more, we can arrange a private catering service with seasonal, locally sourced meals. You’re also welcome to self-cater — the kitchens are fully equipped for group dining. The Eco Barn’s double oven and two long dining tables make it ideal for preparing and enjoying feasts and festivities.
We welcome minibuses and have plenty of private parking on site. The courtyard and lawns are natural hubs for outdoor games and garden gatherings.
We’ll help build an epic itinerary: whether it’s a fun family activity day, an adventure challenge fundraiser, or a soul-soothing wellness away-day for the office team.
Adventures: coasteering, surfing, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, SUP boarding, e-mountain biking and more.
Wildlife-watching boat trips around Pembrokeshire’s offshore islands
Wellness retreats: beach sauna, offshore island yoga day, wild swimming
Multi-activity charity fundraising challenges (e.g. cycling, kayaking and hiking)
Team-building adventure days for corporate groups (e.g. coasteering, climbing and orienteering)
Guided and self-guided walking itineraries exploring the Pembrokeshire coastal path
Multi-day sea kayaking expeditions and courses, including qualification training and assessments
Culture and heritage trips: castles, St David’s Cathedral, neolithic standing stones, woollen mills and more
Absolute hidden gem! We stayed here for our annual boys’ trip, and it exceeded every expectation. We were blown away by the breathtaking sea views and the peaceful, idyllic setting — it truly feels like a private slice of paradise. The interior design is hands-down the best I’ve ever experienced in a rental. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, We made amazing memories here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and reconnect.

Very comfortable, very well appointed. The BEST information pack we have ever come across and an extremely useful interactive map on the wall which made it easy to visualise what their was to do and where things were located making it easier to string activities together and explain to the children. Plenty of great activities bookable via Preseli Venture’s website. Awesome views over the fields and hills down to the sea from the living room and balcony, and some great walking options from the front door. Sophie was very pleasant, honest, and helpful. And to cap it all, the sun shone all week.

We were a party of 7 adults meeting up for the weekend to celebrate a birthday with a big home-cooked dinner – the double oven made cooking for a large party an easy task. The upstairs lounge diner with its wonderful views was a great place to socialise. And given it was a cold weekend the property was really cosy and warm. I wish we had booked a week! Cannot recommend this property highly enough.

We (group of 10) had such a great weekend with Preseli Venture. It’s safe to say the group was of mixed capability and the instructors were great at ensuring everyone got the most of what we were all doing (Sea Kayaking and Coasteering) without patronizing people or being overbearing, allowing for some freedom where it was safe to do so.

I had a fantastic time on the sea kayaking weekend. I liked the fact that we as a group were given some freedom to take the lead, under guidance…I especially loved our two picnic lunch spots – a deserted beach and the top of a rocky island!

The event was well organised and coordinated by Preseli thanks to their excellent infrastructure, facilities and location.The accommodation created a relaxed space, with privacy for the Admiral employees to host informal meetings to help promote greater creativity. The coastal walk created a social atmosphere and helped create a stronger bond for the team.

I came away with the confidence to build a team with people I initally feel intimidated and uncomfortable in the wild ocean environment but it helped me gain awareness of my own weaknesses, and learn effective teamworking and leadership skills under pressure. It was also great fun, thanks for a fantastic few days!

Many walking and wildlife groups use Preseli Venture as their base for exploring Pembrokeshire’s cinematic landscape and phenomenal wildlife, combining coastal treks with offshore island boat trips and seal-spotting excursions. Our car-free self-guided walking holiday is a well-trodden favourite.
Canoe clubs can organise bespoke multi-day sea kayaking and canoeing courses with us, whether working towards gaining a BCAB qualification or simply exploring the world-renowned paddler’s paradise with expert guides.
Cycle clubs will find our location a convenient entry onto the Celtic Cycle Trail; ecologists and geologists will be spoilt for wilderness locations; and astrological societies will find the night skies dazzling, as we’re in an official Dark Skies zone.
