We’ve brought big cat chic to your next family holiday with our lion-themed lodges. Stay in a luxury lodge in the heart of rural Pembrokeshire, and visit our African lions at our world class zoo right next door. Chill like our lazy cats after a day of play with your own private decking and sunken hot tub.
Our Simba Lodge has three bedrooms and sleeps up to seven people. The master bedroom offers guests a double bed and en-suite shower room. The second bedroom, ‘The Lion’s Den’, ideal for those Lion loving little ones, has bunk beds plus a full-size single bed. The third bedroom has two full-size single beds – perfect for larger families or even the grandparents. The family bathroom includes a full-size bath with overhead shower.
The open plan living area with vaulted ceilings creates an inviting, airy space, while the Cathedral style floor to ceiling windows provide plenty of light. A fully equipped country-style kitchen with an island breakfast bar, and a dining table with six chairs completes the communal space. French patio lounge doors take you out to a private decking space with sunken hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring Folly Farm, or visiting Pembrokeshire’s spectacular beaches!
And, yes, of course we’ve sprinkled a bit of Folly Farm magic on our Simba Lodges. From pictures of our pride hung on the walls, to various lion themed décor throughout, Simba Lodge is one of our favourites and it seems we're not alone as it was voted UK's Accommodation of the Year in 2024.
Five star, award-winning holiday park, set in 100 acres of beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside. Located just ten minutes from the popular seaside town of Saundersfoot, and fifteen minutes from the iconic coastal town of Tenby - you're never too far from a stunning Pembrokeshire beach.
And the best part about holidaying with us? We've got a zoo, a farm, a fairground, and a whole host of adventure play right next door!
