Farmers Arms

North Pembrokeshire


If you're a lover of village pubs, this solid stone tavern in the hilltop village of Mathry, 5 miles east of Porthgain, is well worth seeking out. There's nothing fancy about it, just rugby memorabilia on the walls, hard rock on the jukebox, good, honest food and a rotating selection of hand-pulled guest ales.
