true gem in pembrokeshire

spacious room excellent management perfect food cute service
This place remained true to its location and history. the rooms are deceptively spacious. I also found the restaurant and garden area nice. the management showed excellent attention to all customers' welcomes and service. i highly recommend this hotel, especially after being a last-minute and solo guest. the food and atmosphere were perfect.
the pillows felt a bit lumpy and hard to me. i did get one changed, but it was still firm. i ended up sleeping without pillows, and my neck was sore for days.

The breakfast menu offered excellent choices, including real cafetière de-cafe coffee. the restaurant served delicious food that wasn't the usual pub fare. Dinner was excellent. i especially loved the homemade chicken pie and butternut squash and ginger soup paired with local bluestone porter.

the location is great. it allows easy access to the beach and all the facilities that the area offers. parking was very easy, a definite plus.
the bar staff seemed a little rude. they did not appear very friendly. we felt pressured to leave the bar area immediately after last orders. it was difficult since we were staying at the accommodation and had nowhere else to go but our room.
