“A hotel in a beautuiful location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

The Castlemead is a small very well run family hotel at Manorbier South Pembrokeshire.

The staff are all most helpful and friendly, The meals are excellent and the views from the restaurant superb.

It is dog friendly with a separate well appointed annexe often used for guests with dogs.

The location is heavenly, next to the castle and views down to the beach a few minutes walk away.

“wonderful and beautiful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

This is truly a hidden gem - we were walking and came on it - great hosts and wonderful meals - fresh food and beautiful presentations. Greeted with a hot cup of tea and a biscuit - then had a nice room with great view of the hills and church - had a great sleep - quiet and restful - everything that is needed after a long day of walking

“A hidden gem - you need to look past appearances to enjoy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

Lets get the bad news out of the way first:

The rooms and deco are very tired though the hotel itself is very clean.
The restaurant whilst pretty good is a little old fashioned and fussy in it's service.

Hidden in one of lesser visited part of Pembrokeshire this unpresumptuous hotel - more accurately a restaurant with rooms - has caved something of niche.

Very good home cooking in a restaurant with an unrivalled view of the village's Norman church and the sea beyond all framed in beautiful greenery.

The service is very friendly and overall the hotel and meal are excellent value for money and I would certainly recommend for a weekend break.

It's the sort of place that grows on you!

“Very disappointed!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

Very small outdated room with no outlook. First impression on arrival was not feeling terribly welcome. Fousty smell in corridor and in our bedroom. Outdated very well worn sheets and blankets on bed with very grubby, damp eiderdown over the top!
Breakfast was good although the wall where we were sat had very grubby light switches which made you wonder how clean the kitchen was!!
Wouldn't stay here again!

Room Tip: Don't take the basic room - it's awful!

“A magical week-end...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011

....so said the bride and groom after their wedding in the Castle and reception in the Castlemead. It's position is superb and the panoramic windowed marquee on the lawn made the most of the views of the Church, gardens and the sea beyond. Lorna Greasley and her family actually made it for us. From the beginning the service, support, help, advice and sheer kindness were exceptional. All the guests remarked on the quality of the food and how it was served - the atmosphere created by the staff at the Castlemead is just about unique. Four guests were stranded at the end of the evening until one of the staff, overhearing, said 'no problem, it's on my way and I'll give you a lift'!
This was our second visit and we'll be back. The beds are very comfortable and leave the window open and the larks can wake you. OK a bit of maintenance is probably needed but it hardly affected the quality of our stay - and they do have public wi-fi. The rooms with a sea view especially good. And my daughter and her new husband so happy with the start their marriage has had.
