Significant improvements have been completed at Neyland Yacht Haven, one of the most popular marinas in Wales, following a substantial investment in the site’s infrastructure and amenities.
Over £1million has been invested to redesign and extend the main marina building, resulting in the addition of exclusive brand new, luxury washroom facilities for berth holders and visiting boaters. The upgrade includes modern roomy showers and toilets, a dedicated family room and a new, fully equipped laundry cabin.
The first-floor Bar Restaurant has also undergone a major transformation. The dining area has been expanded to include a new snug lounge area with Sky TV, while the kitchen has been upgraded and enlarged to meet the higher demand. Guests can now enjoy a revamped interior, an extended outdoor terrace with panoramic views over the marina and estuary, and a new food and drinks menu. The cellar has not been forgotten and boasts the latest smart cellar technology to ensure the best pint is served.
Located within the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the Milford Haven Waterway, Neyland Yacht Haven is home to over 400 berth holders and welcomes hundreds of visitors each year. The marina also features the ever-popular Manillas Café, alongside The Bar Restaurant, an RYA training school and an office for Boatshed Wales.
“This has been a significant investment and upgrade of our facilities,” said James Cotton, Marina Director. “We are thrilled with the positive feedback from berth holders and visitors, who are already enjoying the modern amenities, thoughtful features such as the family washroom, and the enhanced dining experience upstairs.”
He added, “The team at The Bar Restaurant have worked incredibly hard to reopen in time for the summer season with a fresh new look and a delicious new menu. We’re excited for everyone to come and experience it.”
The project also involved using a wide range of local Pembrokeshire firms, ranging from WB Griffiths from Haverfordwest as the main contractor, Acanthus Holden architects from Pembroke and Terry’s Tiles in Neyland. Interiors by Steph Cotton from Neyland, Penfro Consultancy surveyors from Pembroke Dock and ITH Construction from Narberth were just some of the other local firms involved in the project.
Neyland Yacht Haven – part of the Yacht Havens Group which owns and operates nine marinas across the UK – has been nominated three times for the prestigious British Yachting Awards, cementing its reputation as a premier boating destination in Wales.
