Lawrenny Millenium Community Hostel could be our twin! Also once a village school, of a similar size, and also in an attractive village with an award winning cafe. It is in south Pembrokeshire not far from Pembroke Castle and many other family attractions. It offers family and very flexible accommodation and all amenities. The lush green quiet area around the hostel is ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Take a look at their website:
