| Belhaven Hotel offers 9 warm, comfortable, quiet en suite bedrooms with lashings of hot water, TV and free WiFi. Our breakfasts are famous and served from 6.45 am (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 car park 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 cark park 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 car park. But the family room on the first floor and the two ground floor singles, have windows for ventilation but no view. The ground floor 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 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 so many airfields in Pembrokeshire, someone likened it to a stationary aircraft carrier. Until the mid 1980's one could still see submarines coming in to reload with torpedoes from Milford Haven's Mines Depot, but that has long since closed, and the Navy base at Pembroke Dock. Post War the military connection has continued , and for many years the Panzers practised here on the MOD's Castlemartin Tank Range, while the British Tanks practice on the Rhine, some sort of exchange deal. Well, fair's fair! About 1998 the Germans went home and the range has since been used by the Welsh Tank Regiment. Occasionally when they are night firing you can watch the parachute flares floating down. The Special Forces also practice here, but you never see them. Near Newgale Sands, there was a joint RAF/USAF air base and it used to be thrilling to watch, from the very end of the runway, as the jets blasted off overhead or to watch them firing supersonic rockets into the ring of floats in the sea off Nolton Haven. But they also left to be replaced by The Royal Signals at Brawdy, just west of the Roman villa at Wolfs Castle. For more information why not visit www.westwaleshotel.com |
