About Shearwater, National Trust Stackpole
Shearwater Group House is one in a group of converted stone farm buildings, sleeping 15 people in 7 simple, comfortable bedrooms.
On the ground floor, Shearwater has an open-plan kitchen, living room and dining room. There are four bedrooms on this floor: one single, one twin and two with both a super king and a set of bunks. The super king beds can become twins on request. Upstairs there are three more bedrooms: two singles and one twin. Some rooms are en-suite, and there are bathrooms on both floors. Outside, there’s a shared courtyard garden with picnic tables.
Shearwater Group House, along with neighbouring Swan Group House, a pair of bunkhouses and a cluster of small cottages, is part of the Stackpole Centre. A comfortable central seating area has Wi-Fi and is available to all guests. Guests also all have access to a grassy area with a firepit.
Stackpole is one of 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.
