Located in a secluded part of the United Kingdom, this area holds a magical charm with a rich historical background and boasts some of the most stunning landscapes. The region features ancient stone burial chambers dating back 4,000 years, standing stones with Latin and Ogham inscriptions spread throughout the countryside, and a breathtaking coastline where waves crash against towering cliffs or gently roll onto pristine sandy beaches.
At the heart of this enchanting location lies the Bluestone National Park Resort, nestled within 500 acres of untamed Welsh countryside. Despite being a holiday park, Bluestone seamlessly integrates into the surrounding Pembrokeshire scenery, offering a sense of immersion in nature. The resort’s size and numerous lodges blend so well with the environment that they almost go unnoticed until you step inside.
While embracing its natural surroundings, the resort also provides a modern and luxurious holiday experience, particularly with its newly introduced lodges that are truly impressive.
Most of Bluestone comprises around 300 charming wooden lodges of various sizes scattered across hills near the picturesque town of Narberth. The focal point of the resort is its purpose-built village, which features colorful stone cottages, several restaurants, shops offering a variety of Welsh products, a spa, and a pub with a beer garden and a playground.
Within the resort, visitors can enjoy amenities such as The Hive, a large indoor play area, the Blue Lagoon swimming complex with indoor and outdoor slides and a wave machine, and the Serendome, an enclosed adventure play area offering diverse activities from theatrical performances to aerial courses. While the resort is more geared towards younger children, older kids can still find engaging activities to enjoy.
