A three day stay. We were told this was unusual as most were one night stopovers waiting for ferry.
On this basis you’d like to think you’d get allocated a reasonable room.
I can’t speak for the rest of the hotel, only room 20. External room next to staff rooms?
Ground floor, had to keep the curtains drawn all time and windows closed due to people outside the room talking. Very frustrating on hottest night of the year. No aircon and no fan.
There seems to be a running joke about it being fawlty towers. Soon wears thin when you’ve paid £300 for a room.
Breakfast is extra and we passed after one try. Very average.
Fab breakfast just down the road at South Stack visitors centre.
Eve meal , average, so didn’t bother again.
Go over the road at Langdons , fantastic meal and service.
The outside of the Hotel could be fabulous with a bay view, but it’s unkempt, full of weeds and rubbish.
Dustbin and broken furniture outside our room was a nice touch.
We would have checked out, but the town was busy and no other rooms were available.
Such a shame as this hotel has great potential but needs so much attention paying to details.
We enjoyed the area but won’t be returning to this hotel.

We had a lovely stay at the Boathouse Hotel, and found the staff to be extremely accommodating. How lovely to spend time in this quiet spot, right off the Wales Coast Path.

The perfect spot to do some walking, visit the harbor and a short walk in to town. This is a very quaint hotel, with fabulous service and food.

It was very run down! We ordered breakfast at 7:15 arrived downstairs for the reception area to be dark unopened for business and then left at 7:30am without having breakfast!
Nice friendly staff, but the decor and musty smell let the place down. There is a huge potential for the property!

Great little hotel for the one night we needed. Although it’s a little dated, it was very clean and comfortable and the staff were brilliant!
