A FORMER prison governor’s house at a town jail looks set to be turned in to a boutique hotel.

Pembrokeshire Council has decided to include the building in the sale of The Castle in Haverfordwest in mid Wales.

The building has been used in recent times as the Haverfordwest Town Museum but local councillors decided earlier this month to include the building in a sale to developers.

According to the museum website, a prison stood in the castle grounds as early as 1188, with new prisons being built there in 1779 and 1820.

“This decision paves the way for the development of a high quality boutique hotel with restaurant and gallery,” said cabinet member cllr Rob Lewis, .
