About Kestrel Bunkhouse

There are another 12 bedrooms upstairs: four singles, three 2-bunks and five rooms with a mix of bunks and singles. There are bathrooms on both floors. Outside, there’s a private courtyard with picnic tables.

Kestrel Bunkhouse, along with neighbouring Kingfisher Bunkhouse, a pair of group houses and a cluster of small cottages, is part of the Stackpole Centre. A comfortable central seating area has WiFi and is available to all guests. Guests also all have access to a grassy area with a firepit.  

Stackpole is possibly the most wildlife rich and well preserved coastlines in Wales. A shady, mile-long walk takes you to the beach. You’ll be on the edges of the grade I listed landscape of Bosherston Lily Ponds. Head to Stackpole Quay for guided kayaking sessions along the coast. From here you can hop onto the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for walks across the headlands, woods and beach, Barafundle Bay. Or if surfing is your thing, drive 20 minutes to Freshwater West for reliable waves all year round.
