Welcome to The Old Police House
Tucked into the heart of Fishguard, The Old Police House is a home with a story to tell — and for the past five years, it's been lucky enough to be part of hundreds more.
Built in 1834 as a farmer's cottage and converted in 1844, this is a house that has watched Fishguard grow up around it. After 20 years standing empty and derelict, we fell for its bones in 2015 and spent four years bringing it lovingly back to life. Our first guests walked through the door in 2019 — and we haven't looked back since.
Today, The Old Police House sleeps 7 in a home full of original character (including its very own police cells— yes, really), with a sunny enclosed garden to relax in and the whole of North Pembrokeshire on your doorstep.
We're proud to hold a 5-Star Rating from Visit Wales and the Customer Choice Award on Cottages.com — but more than any award, it's the guestbook full of stories, return visits, and kind words that tells us we're doing something right.
"This isn't just a place to stay — it's a place to come back to."
Whether you're planning a family holiday, a walking trip along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, or simply a few days by the sea, we'd love to welcome you.

The Old Police House is an excellent place to stay, set in a wonderful location of Fishguard. The house is incredibly spacious, with everything you could need for a very large group. The house is full of quirky touches such as the shower room built in the old cell, and the garden is large and wonderfully sunny. Overall, I would definitely recommend the house as a perfect place to stay and enjoy the many things to do in the area. The owners were also great, with full communication and detail.

Nicest holiday home we have ever stayed in. Clean, modern, bright and comfortable. We loved it!
Billy & Bubbles loved the heated kitchen floor.

Loved the old police house! Absolutely stunning house full of character, and superbly equipped for larger families. Great base for local attractions. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book for a future return.
