The couple who run this hotel are lovely and the cleaner is also lovely. The hotel is perfectly located with stunning views of the beach and sea (completely uninterrupted) and moments away from the heart of the Tenby.
The rooms were clean and the towels were crisp. My only issue was the water pressure for the shower and the bath had jets but didn’t work. Once the hotel bathrooms get updated this will be the hotel to come to.

Location great. Accommodation poor walls so thin I could hear the man next door going to the toilet. Kettle did not work. Bedding stained and no lights in the bathroom. Emailed the staff about breakfast included in the price as that is what was advertised and that is what I paid for however their response was rude and blamed Hotels.com.

Great stay! Very Quirky B&B! Greats hosts and very friendly! Fab breakfast so many options to choose from! Only negative was that we was in the loft room and although a fan was provided it was very warm getting ready and to sleep in! Would definitely stay again just not in the loft room in the summer months!

Wonderful views of the ocean. Very impersonal hotel. We tried to communicate and never got an answer and never got to meet any of the staff (there was no one to check us in, during breakfast or to check us out)

Great views from the bedroom. The only problem was lots of stairs but it was worth it for the sea view!
Very good location, a leisurely 10 minutes walk to the train station and right next to the town walls and overlooking the lovely South beach.

A fabulous 2 night stay; hotel was really lovely and friendly. We were unexpectedly upgraded to a larger room with a sea view which was a lovely surprise and unexpected. Breakfast was also delicious; stunning location.

What a beautiful hotel, with rooms overlooking the beach. Fall to sleep with the sound of the ocean, surrounded by luxury. The hotel owner is outstanding and very attentive. The breakfast was of good quality and cooked to perfection!
We can't wait to stay again.

Good location nearTenby centre, beach and parking.
The hotel is in a great location not far to town centre but fairly quiet at night. But inside sound proofing is poor and you can hear all your neighbours- which means they can hear you!! Clean bathroom, nice towels, nice bed. Breakfast was basic.
