New Inn, Amroth

Tucked away on the coastal road at the start of the Pembrokeshire National Park's long distance coastal footpath, this stone-built inn dating from at least c.1800 is little-altered in over 50 years. The counter in the front bar is believed to date from 1953 and incorporates parts from an old sea chest. At the rear the characterful snug bar has an old flagstone floor, massive inglenook fireplace with log fire and was probably a kitchen in the past and possibly dates back to the 16th century. The carved bar counter front and bar back shelves could be 50 years old. Partitions that separated the two front rooms have been removed and the area on the right has an old stone fireplace, three antique settles, an old 'Bass in Bottle' wall sign and the landlady's collection of miniatures in four display cases. Upstairs is a dining room with a Welsh dresser and a bar counter (now disused) at least 40 years old. A new dining room on the rear left was formerly a cellar.
