Belhaven House Hotel Ltd.

Belhaven Hotel offers 9 warm, comfortable, quiet, ensuite bedrooms with
lashings of hot water, TV and free WiFi. Our breakfasts are famous and served from
6.45am( sometimes earlier) to 9am weekdays and up to 10.30am on a
weekend.Evening snacks may be served by arrangement. And this is the first hotel
in Milford town to be given a National Food Hygiene Award of 5.
There is a free, secure carpark at the rear of the hotel( SA73 2HH) for your vehicle
and your bedroom key also operates both front doors, the rear door and the carpark
gates, so you can come and go as you need.
There are four double rooms on the south-facing front giving views of the
magnificent Waterway, two on the second floor, one on the first and one on the
ground floor. At the rear there is a double and a single on the second floor which
look over the garden and carpark. But the family room on the first floor and the two
groundfloor singles, have windows for ventilation but no view.
The groundfloor bar and residents TV lounge above, also at the front,give
good views of the yachts, trawlers, ferries, oil-tankers and the colossal gas-tankers
that use this Waterway but everything seems to happen so slowly, but then, they do
have to share the estuary with the salmon, cormorants, swans and seals and no-one
wants another oil-spill, like the "Sea Empress" in 1996.
There was far more action to be seen here in the War years, when the
tonnage of convoys using Milford was second only to those using Liverpool, and
Pembroke Dock was the base for the Sunderland and Catalina flying boats. There
were many airfields in Pembrokeshire, like the joint RAF/USAF base at Brawdy..
Post War the military connection continued, and for 35 years the Panzers
practised here on the MOD's Castlemartin Tank range while the British Tanks
practised on the Rhine, some sort of exchange deal. Well. Fair's fair!
Now is the turn of the Welsh Tanks.
Special Forces also practise here, but you never see them.
