Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Esplanade enjoys a brilliant location, within a short walk of the beach, town, pubs and restaurants. Many guests appreciate the sea view, particularly from the upgraded rooms, and the proximity to attractions like Caldey Island via the nearby harbour. Breakfast receives consistent praise, with mentions of fresh fruit, a selection of hot foods like a full English or salmon and scrambled eggs, and delicious tea; some guests, however, have mentioned that rooms are only cleaned every three days. The spacious rooms often feature tea and coffee making facilities, and some even include complimentary Brecon Carreg water.

Seaside Charm and Character

corner room maritime decor cooked breakfast complimentary water

My corner room provided amazing views of the sea from multiple angles. The maritime decor added a lovely touch to the cozy atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the full English breakfast (the sausages were cooked perfectly!). The complimentary bottle of water was a welcome addition.

The television remote control needed new batteries.
