“We haven’t got a guide price because we’re not sure where it will go, so we’re genuinely just inviting tenders and offers by September.
“It won’t be down to figures, the RNLI and the freeholder will want to look at what a potential purchaser wants to do there. That’s just as important because it’s in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and quite a sensitive area.
