I'm sure we have been to this site with the caravan, if I am right about that, then I'm not sure it's one that I would go back to with a MH unless it was small enough to take off site.
I'm sure some do but if it's such a trek into the nearest village what else would you be able to do from the site.
We normally stay about 4 days anywhere, be it MH or caravan. I doubt I would want to sit about the site for that long if getting off site is so difficult.

We have stayed at FE a while ago. Nice site, easy walk onto a nice beach. We had a car with us at the time, so we drove all over. We stayed on a CL at Jameston just above Manorbier last time we were in Pembrokeshire with MH. Pembrokeshire is a stunning area, with lots of fantastic places to visit, either with or without children. We use our MH on a daily basis, so for us, no issues. We certainly didn’t find parking it up anywhere difficult, and wouldn’t have even had it been a little longer.
All depends what the OP’s priorities are. If it’s a simple beach holiday, chilling out, then a nice location, and some nice walks from the Site. Rainy days (we had rain every day on our September 3 week tour) then glad we use our MH, we could use it as a mobile cafe, sightseeing, day trips all over to Castles, towns, other areas of coast. WTG has suggested some transport options, so with a bit of effort, it’s doable.
Our MH parked up under Pembroke Castle, and then view from MH parked up at Carew Castle, not far from FE

Posted on 06/02/2023 10:52 by SteveLNot 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.

Posted on 07/02/2023 10:12 by SallyDOnly stop 4 nights anywhere? How do you ever get to appreciate the area you are staying in?

How long does it take? Four nights is a long stop for us.
Mind you, one benefit of a MH over a caravan is being able to tour an area stopping in different parts of that region without the need to keep travelling over the same ground as you have to if you're based on one site.

It’s a different style of touring that we find ideally suits a MH. We had a caravan for 16 years and generally spent at least a week in one place, so 4 / 5 sites in a tour with perhaps a couple of one nighters getting there. Compare that to last years 45 night tour of northern Scotland that used 16.
