What’s good about Goodwick?

Siriole is located in Quay Road, a quiet residential street just a two-minute walk from the centre of Goodwick and ten minutes on foot from the sea front, or Parrog as it’s known locally.

Goodwick has three lively pubs, two of which serve food, a good quality, reasonably priced restaurant and a fish and chip shop.

Located on Main Street, a two minute walk from the house, is Goodwick Post Office, which also sells stationery, books, toys and DVDs. The post office incorporates a newsagent’s, selling essential groceries and, at the weekend, fresh croissants, an ideal accompaniment to your Sunday paper.

Further down the street there is Parrs grocers, which has an excellent butchers and can offer a delivery service.

The Parrog also has a children’s play park, green area and small beach as well as one of the best ice cream vans in the county. Across the road from the Parrog there is a petrol station, small supermarket and busy café.

Siriole is a short walk from the189 mile long Pembrokeshire coast path, making it an ideal base for exploring this stunning stretch of coastline. There are also many pleasant short walks in the area, from the easy amble along the breakwater to longer circular walks. Maps and route descriptions are available in the house.

Goodwick enjoys good public transport links. We are within walking distance of the ferry to Rosslare, Ireland, which runs twice daily all year round, with additional fast ferry services in the summer. The train to Swansea, Cardiff and London also leaves from Fishguard Harbour.

The local bus service runs from Goodwick Square and includes the Strumble Shuttle, a “walkers’ bus” that takes you north east along the coast as far as St. Davids, providing excellent access to remote coastal locations on the way.

Just up the hill from Goodwick is its twin town, Fishguard, which boasts a new leisure centre and swimming pool, a cinema, excellent restaurants and numerous pubs and shops.
