Whether you’re cruising through the countryside on a classic bike or seeking the thrill of coastal bends, we’re here to make your stay as smooth as the open road.

Why Bikers Love Preseli Hills Cottages
At Preseli Hills Cottages, we understand that motorcycling isn’t just a mode of transport; it’s a way of life.
From our secure bike storage facilities to the warm hospitality of our award-winning cottages, we’re perfectly set up for riders.
We are located 20 minutes from the north coast of Pembrokeshire, at the base of the Preseli Hills, so a great place to start exploring Pembrokeshire with your motorbike.
We’ve even had guests roll in with classic bikes that gleamed brighter than the Welsh sun—accompanied by their dog, Kickstart, who sported a custom leather biker jacket and goggles.
Honestly, that pup had more swagger than any of us!
