Skokholm Island is a wild and beautiful place to stay, quieter and smaller than its sister, Skomer, there is a romance and charm to the place. Over the last few years we have been renovating the accomodation on the island with the fantastic help of the Friends of the Islands. For information there is no major renovation works planned for May, June and July, therefore the accommodation can be opened.

In addition to the central block (four twin rooms and one double room) which has had a face lift thanks to a willing bunch of volunteers and the Friends of the Islands there will be further accommodation in the cottage – four single rooms and a twin (or possibly triple) room.
There is a self-catering kitchen, a common room and a small shop
