We';ve stayed here before a long time ago, and it was summer, so maybe we didn't notice the terrible state of the window frames. But last Friday (28th May) which was a bitterly cold and very windy day, the wind from around the windows was almost as strong inside the room as outside. I used a whole loo roll to... More

Situated on the sea front the hotel looked very rundown but on checking in found the room to be large and warm which was good considering snowy conditions. I went into town for food early evening and returned looking forward to a nice hot bath. After my bath i picked up one of the folded towels on my bed to... More

Second time staying here. It's adequate, price is the same for most hotels and B & B's in Tenby. The place needs some real competition to force the standards up. There is no investment in the building or fit out which says it all. I guess times are tough. However I was disappointed with the breakfast which after all only... More

A group of us stayed & were made welcome. Comfortable rooms, almost all with beach/ sea views, if looking a little tired. Catering is good and the bar open late. A close walk to beaches, albeit fairly steep paths, but considered suitable for wheelchairs - just. Plenty of activity inc. bars & shops (mostly gift type) in very close proximity.

brilliant location, a couple of hundred yards from the centre. The views from the rooms are amazing. Food in the bar downstairs is very good. Only problem is it needs redecorating. We found the rooms clean, the staff we all very helpful. We have stayed there several times
