Hi, visiting for 1sr time later in year. If we pitch up our motorhome & leave it on site can we easly walk to a supermarket/food shop or do we need to take everything with us? Thanks

I would suggest you have a look at Google Maps as that will give you a good impression of what is available locally. There is a function to measure the distance between the site and the nearest shops.

Freshwater Site is close to beach, down a quite steep hill. Nearest shops will be in Lamphey, around two miles away, although these will be quite limited. Pembroke is nearest town, around six, seven miles away, has all types of shops, nice town. Not sure on buses, doubt they will go all way down to Site, you will probably have to walk a bit. There are good car parks in Pembroke, we parked our MH up under Castle. Best to check out buses, as it’s a few years since we were in area.

As above, the site is at the bottom of a quite steep hill the road is wide so no problems with access. The one o'clock arrivals is strictly adhered to. The nearest shop is a local CK shop at the filling station in Lamphey. Train Station in the village, trains to Pembroke or Tenby.. All major supermarkets are available in Pembroke. During the summer season a local mini bus service (run by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park ), leaves from outside the site entrance.only a limited service. Basic provisions  may be available from site reception (long life milk etc). I would take as much provisions as possible with you. Lovely site and area, have fun.

Motorhomes are sounding a bit of a problem to me if it’s too much trouble to drive to a shop. Glad I didn’t get one. Would never work for me.

Not an issue for us and many other MH owners ET. The most we stop is 4 nights and the fridge has plenty of capacity to cover that period. Then just call in at a convenient supermarket or perhaps farm shop on route.

That's the point though Steve  being limited  to 4 nights or fridge capacity. Wouldn't do for us either and would rule out 3 out of 4 of our favourite places.

Well in the case of the OP we would take the MH off site and into Pembroke, probably visit the castle as well before going to the supermarket. It’s just that we prefer not to if possible.
