Ideal for a short stay, the Den is a compact, ground level en-suite room with parking on my smallholding, about 15 minutes from Narberth, in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside. The sofa bed folds back to create a stylish sitting area. The 13 acre smallholding is home to the Hamilton Alpaca herd of 24 animals, including two born on the farm in 2023 . I am happy to tell you more about my herd and you are welcome to take photos. Unfortunately, I do not accept dogs at the property.

After 20 plus years in various roles in a university, I decided on a new adventure - to return to Pembrokeshire - my place of birth. What will you do when you get there my son said. Hmmm... Then, I went on an alpaca walk near Winchester and fell in love with these curious creatures. To date, I now have a herd of 24! What 5 things can’t I live without? My sons, my alpacas, coffee, the glorious skies, and the fabulous Pembrokeshire coast. Hamilton Alpacas is my home, so I am often around and will provide help and conversation if that is what you seek. If you would prefer a more private stay, that is also fine, as the Den is self contained.

Hamilton Alpacas is a central place to stay in Pembrokeshire, close to Oakwood Theme Park and Bluestone Resort and not far by car from the Sunday Times Best Beach at Tenby. Narberth is the nearest town, with its range of independent shops and restaurants. The Snooty Fox Public House is across the road, serving home cooked food. Wild Lakes is also a short distance away, as are the lovely estuary spots of Lawrenny or Carew Castle and Tidal Mill. The area around my smallholding is rural, so it’s best to travel by car. If you do arrive by bicycle, I can lock it away for you during your stay.
