Going home
Staff were very friendly.
Room was dated. Needed some tlc to walls. Cups for tea very small. Milk was a funny taste.
Staff very friendly and room was clean with lovely bedding and towels
They had a Soul evening in the bar which was very loud and didn’t finish until 11.40
Very friendly welcoming staff, very clean. Lovely breakfast
Very friendly welcoming hotel lovely staff Very clean lovely views looking over the harbour
It is a bit of a climb up the hill, but the staff provided taxi number 8f we needed them
Great location, car parking, friendly staff, although didnt use a good addition of a coffee machine in reception and water in bar area. Family Room spacious with comfortable beds, lovely views from bar area. Ideal base for Ironman
couldnt control radiator temperature in room, was boiling. a shame the bar was closed for our stay, i did sit in there to read my book and admire the views.
Great location and friendly staff
Room are looking dated
The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Lovely hotel, clean, great location and we’d definitely stay here again
Great location. Reasonable price. Great staff.Free parking with hotel stay, but tight when full. Light and airy room.Brilliant hot shower.
The mattress needed replacing. There were dips in it. It was very uncomfortable. The heating was on for the first 2 nights, our room got very hot.
Friendly & helpful staff. Our Grandaughter loved the outdoor pool. Our family room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was very good.
The only downside was the fact we had to use the car as the hill back to the hotel from the beach was too steeo for us to walk.
Location great. 2/3 members of staff were lovely. The staff member on Sat night was pleasant but refused to put my mum’s salad in the fridge stating they didn’t have a fridge which is clearly not true. Standard twin was the only option, it was fairly clean but tired as was the bathroom.
BathroomDeco Tiny TV with limited freeview channelsSorry but very cheap coffee sachets
Everything was 100 %. Good tasty reasonably price home cooked food. The
Every thing The food was home cooked and reasonable priceds the wine. Great views of Saundersfoot beach and swimming
Nowt. All good.
The food. -VERY Friendly staff. -The view-. Good working TV- (a lot if hotels do not have all the channels )- Swimming pool.
We had a lovely clean room, shower was great. The lady who welcomed us at the front desk was friendly. She also served us at breakfast & again was friendly, welcoming & got us everything we needed. Other staff at the hotel were very friendly. We didn't use the pool, but we thought this was a great bonus. It looked clean and had a great view from the seating area overlooking the sea. The breakfast was lovely, plentiful too. This was a perfect location for us as we were coming for the street food circus event. The town/ harbour was a 2-minute walk.
Loved the views and swimming pool
Main building looked good, but the Annex rooms need ceiling / floor insulation urgently!! Noise (walking/talking) from upstairs guests make it impossible to sleep on the groubd floor rooms!
The breakfast was lovely plenty of options. The location was perfect walking distance to town and beach. A wow view from hotel . A lovely outside pool.
There was nothing i didn't like.
Good location. Excellent meal choices on nights cooking. Breakfast very good and plentiful. Swimming pool a bonus and close to town and amenities
