Jane Rees-Baynes, chair of Pembrokeshire Tourism and proprietor of Elm Grove Country House, said: "It was fantastic to see the business and attractions in the area full of visitors over Easter - especially after what felt like a very long winter. It is looking promising as the peak season approaches, which is great for the Pembrokeshire Tourism trade." With a variety of events organised by operators across the county visitors had a range of activities to choose from to make the most out of their stay. Guests at Elm Grove Country House were very impressed with the offering here in Pembrokeshire, Jane states: "We had a full house over the long weekend with many of our guests first time visitors to the county. They commented on how much there was to do and that they'd be coming back to Pembrokeshire to explore more of the county."
