There are places that are beautiful in every season. And then there are places that come into their own in autumn.
Lamphey Court is one of them.
There is Something About Lamphey Court in Autumn
It is difficult to put into words exactly what changes at Lamphey Court when September arrives. The hotel is the same. The spa is the same. The Georgian Room is the same. But something shifts.
The pace slows down. The guests are fewer. The pool is quieter. And the whole place takes on a warmth and intimacy that the busier summer months rarely allow.
Autumn at Lamphey Court feels like the hotel at its most itself. Less rushed. More considered. The kind of place where you actually feel the benefit of being there rather than simply passing through.
If you have only ever visited in summer - autumn might just change everything.
The Grounds in Autumn
The grounds at Lamphey Court are beautiful at any time of year. But in autumn they are something else entirely.
The trees that surround the Georgian mansion begin to turn as September gives way to October. The countryside beyond the grounds takes on the copper and gold tones that make Pembrokeshire in autumn so distinctive. And arriving at Lamphey Court on a clear autumn morning - the white Georgian facade against a backdrop of turning trees and open countryside - is one of those moments that genuinely stays with you.
The grounds are open and peaceful. Wide enough to walk and clear your head. Quiet enough to hear nothing but birdsong and the faint sound of the countryside doing what it does in autumn. And with Lamphey Bishop's Palace - a 13th century medieval ruin - just two minutes' walk from the front door, there is history as well as beauty right on the doorstep.
Autumn at Lamphey Court starts the moment you arrive.
The Spa in Autumn
If there is one experience at Lamphey Court that autumn makes even better - it is the spa.
There is something about slipping into a warm pool on a cool autumn day that summer simply cannot replicate. The contrast between the crisp air outside and the warmth of the water inside is one of those simple pleasures that is genuinely hard to put a price on.
The spa at Lamphey Court offers a 14-metre infinity pool, herbal sauna, aromatic steam room and spa bath - all a little more peaceful in autumn than they are in the summer months. Fewer guests means more space. More space means more time. And more time means the kind of long, unhurried spa experience that a busy August afternoon rarely allows.
Add in an ELEMIS treatment from the expert therapy team and a robe that you genuinely do not want to take off - and you have the perfect autumn afternoon taken care of.
Dining at Lamphey Court in Autumn
Autumn evenings at Lamphey Court were made for the Georgian Room.
As the days get shorter and the air gets cooler, there is something deeply satisfying about sitting down to dinner in a candlelit room with a seasonal menu in front of you and a glass of something good in your hand. The Georgian Room at Lamphey Court does this better than most.
Seasonal menus built around locally sourced Pembrokeshire ingredients. The kind of food that celebrates what the county produces at this time of year. Served in one of the most elegant dining rooms in Wales - intimate, warm and exactly right for an autumn evening.
Breakfast the following morning in the Conservatory is its own reward. Light flooding through the glass roof, the grounds visible outside and a full Welsh breakfast that sets you up for a day of exploring Pembrokeshire in the best possible way.
Autumn dining at Lamphey Court is something worth planning a trip around.
Pembrokeshire on the Doorstep
One of the great things about staying at Lamphey Court in autumn is everything that is right outside the door.
Pembrokeshire in September and October is still stunning - the beaches, the coast path, the castles and the towns are all still there. They are just quieter, more atmospheric and in many ways more rewarding than they are in the height of summer.
Barafundle Bay - just 4.3 miles from the hotel - is one of the finest beaches in the UK at any time of year. In autumn the walk through the National Trust woodland to reach it feels more serene and the beach itself is often almost entirely empty. Crystal clear water, golden sand and barely a soul in sight.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers some of its most dramatic walking in autumn - the wildflowers are gone but the clifftops are wilder, the skies are bigger and the views are as breathtaking as anything the county offers in summer.
Pembroke Castle, Carew Castle and Lamphey Bishop's Palace are all within easy reach and all worth a visit as the season turns. And Tenby, Narberth and Saundersfoot are all at their most relaxed and genuine once the summer crowds have gone.
A day exploring autumn Pembrokeshire followed by an evening at Lamphey Court is one of those combinations that is very difficult to improve on.
