I live in Wales and ages ago booked a week selfcatering in Pembrokeshire (just over an hour from home).
I'm so excited that we can now go!!! I don't care that non essential shops, pubs, restaurants and tourists attractions are closed.
We will have a different view, we can walk on the beach away from home.
Shopping delivery is arranged for when we arrive so we don't need to shop.
I've never been so excited about a selfcatering holiday!!!!

Sounds like you're not far from Saudersfoot? If you do make it over that way, I highly recommend Cwlbox www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g191268-d14765385-Reviews-Cwlbox-Saundersfoot_Pembrokeshire_Wales.html. It's a little takeaway right on the beach and they're lovely.

Enjoy

Very nice. My dad lives in Stepaside. We normally go at Easter (but I stupidly left Pembrokeshire for England).

Lots of local restaurants are doing takeaway so you'll still get to treat yourselves. I highly recommend the kookaba in saundersfoot. Enjoy !

Please come back afterwards and tell us all about it, we can live vicariously through you until we're set loose.

Have a wonderful time, OP. If nothing else, this pandemic has certainly made me appreciate the little joys in life, and a self-catering holiday is definitely one of those! We have booked a week in Tenby in August which I can’t wait for. The kids have already planned our activities for the entire week!

FiveGs · 27/03/2021 07:06

Have a lovely time OP, wish we were heading to Wales!

Campervan69 · 27/03/2021 07:13

Wonderful OP I love Wales so much. Can't wait until we can go again. They are the best beaches close to us. Will be daytrips in our campervan for us until the rules are relaxed on 12th April and campsites open up.

Have a great break OP!!!

EileenGC · 27/03/2021 07:29

Have a wonderful time OP! So exciting 😁

My sister is coming to visit on Monday for a week, we live in different countries and the test/quarantine requirements between them have recently been lifted and I can’t wait to see her. I told a neighbour last night and she said ‘but nothing is open, what a boring holiday’ and she couldn’t be more in the wrong. Who cares everything is closed, there are parks and the zoo and gardens and takeaways to do!

Enjoy the walks, the jigsaws, and just being together somewhere that looks different!

midnightstar66 · 27/03/2021 08:11

Have a lovely time. I've just had mine cancelled by the accommodation for 2 weeks time (I'm in Scotland) but there will be plenty more so just looking forward to that. I can imagine how excited you are.

36degrees · 27/03/2021 09:56

So excited for you! We're in Scotland and have a break in North Wales booked for November that we hope will still go ahead - multiple households travelling from all over the UK so it might not go exactly the way we hope, but fingers crossed.

PembrokeshireDreaming · 27/03/2021 10:47

We are leaving after lunch .........the drive will only take just over an hour. I'm chucking things in bags and have a big smile on my face!!!

DD is packing up the Wii u and some jigsaws, DH is faffing with chargers/firestick and techie things.

Arh lovely! The change of scenery will do you wonders. Have a lovely time!

Twoforthree · 27/03/2021 10:52

So wonderful to see the beginning of normality in real life time. Yay.

TheVolturi · 27/03/2021 10:55

Not ashamed to admit I AM JEALOUS! Enjoy 👍🏻

ExplodingCarrots · 27/03/2021 15:29

Hope you've arrived safely. The traffic has been a bit chaos coming into the county today .

SimonJT · 27/03/2021 15:40

I’m so jealous. You’ll have a lovely time.

Me and my little boy had a ‘holiday’ last night, we stayed in our camper in our buildings underground carpark, beautiful scenery.

HardcoreParkour · 28/03/2021 16:10

@SimonJT I bet he had a great time too! I used to love those kinds of 'adventures' when I was young. We'd go and have a picnic... in our caravan... which was in the driveway 😂 happy days!

MrsMigginsPie · 28/03/2021 16:32

A holiday......sounds so exotic at the moment! Have a fabulous time!

MsIreneWinters · 28/03/2021 16:46

Have a lovely time - I am so excited on your behalf!
