The boat across to Skomer could not be prebooked until after the pandemic, which used to mean people would have to turn up very early to try to get a place, so staying in accommodation close by in Pembrokeshire was ideal.
It is still very convenient to stay close to the island boat launch at Martins Haven, near Marloes. There are many hotels, B&B's, self catering holiday cottages and campsites between Marloes, Haverfordwest, St David's and along the south Pembrokeshire coast, from Tenby to Pembroke, that are ideal as a base.
