We stayed in an annxe due to having to take our dogs with us-but the owners are very relaxed about taking pets and that helped. the room was a little 1970's around the edges but the beds were very comfy and it was clean with good views. Our breakfast was just brilliant ,as was the personal service eg drinks when you arrived .We will stay again but perhaps minus the dogs so that we can have a nicer room.

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.

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

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!
