Dylanologists – if there’s such a term – will be familiar with Brown’s. It’s where poet Dylan Thomas sipped and scribbled in the ‘timeless, mild, beguiling island of a town’ that became the template for his masterwork, Under Milk Wood. His old watering hole has returned to life – and it’s a case of back to the past, not future. Don’t worry, you won’t be confronted with tobacco-stained walls, stale beer and damp sheets. The new Brown’s is a theatrical homage, 1940s and ’50s nostalgia glimpsed through a modern prism. It provides high-quality contemporary boutique accommodation with a reinterpretation of its post-war heyday with memorabilia and bedrooms that summon up nostalgic thoughts of vintage values and style. The décor, furnishings and warm Welsh hospitality in this classy ‘bar with rooms’ are complemented by local ales and wholesome, home-cooked bar meals – and outside there’s magical Laugharne to explore.

There’s no mistaking you’re in Pembrokeshire at this exceedingly amenable B&B. Jayne Hancock is a font of local knowledge, and her love of where she lives extends to the use of Melin Tregwynt blankets, locally made organic toiletries and delicious breakfasts cooked on the Aga from fresh local produce. Fields Lodge combines reassuringly traditional elements with contemporary flair. ‘Our accommodation reflects our desire for you to be happy, relaxed and pampered,’ says Jayne. The bedrooms are top notch with deep, comfortable beds, power showers and modern touches. The outdoors is pretty good too, along with those sensational sunsets. Walkers, birdwatchers and watersports enthusiasts are in their element. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is close by, and you’re on the doorstep of Sandy Haven beach, the undiscovered Dale Peninsula and ornithological hot spots like Skomer and Skokholm islands.
