“Book somewhere else”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Stayed at this hotel as part of a coach group. It seems the hotel depends mostly on coach groups therefore they must think they don't need to make any effort to get bums on seats. The hotel is in an appalling filthy state. If you are booking independently you would be better off going elsewhere. There are other hotels and B&Bs in the area but I can't comment on those.

The bathroom had a carpet which I dread to think of the dirt it was hiding. The windows in the bathroom and bedroom were rotten.

The restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was very bland.

Positives - Lots of hot water for the bath. The Llanerch Inn about five minutes walk away. Excellent choice of real ale.

“Good value for money, stop whinging, you cheapskates!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed here for five nights, whilst working in the area. OK, the rooms are dated and shabby but what do people expect for the money? It was clean, and all the staff were very attentive, including the very pleasant receptionist, the helpful dining room staff, the bar staff and the chambermaids. They were all great.

Whingers - do the sums! It would have been easy to spend £1,000 doing my room up. At £32 a night, how many nights rental does that come to? 32 nights - which might not be far off the entire income from that room for the year. You can see that they have been making some improvements, but it will take time when their rates are so low. If you want something more, pay more.

“"Is there a 4th Class"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Oh my God... were do I start, we booked this hotel thinking after reading the reviews that no hotel could be that bad... how wrong was I.. We were travelling to Pembrokeshire and didnt fancy an 8 hour drive and be tired when we got there, so we decided to travel half way along the "A" roads, have a nights stay a meal a bottle of wine, then up fresh and travel to meet up with family for a suprise. We had pre-booked and only booked our ajoining accommodation for the next day for 4 nights, as anyone who has a pet, it seems it is difficult to find accommodation for people travelling with pets why I dont know..?

Anyway we arrived at 10 am to be told that we couldn't check in until 2 pm, I was annoyed that we had asked to check in early, so we decided to walk around the town, which takes around 30 mins to do so, lucky for us the weather was very warm so we sat in the park with a sandwich and a drink, the park is beautiful and quaint.......

We went back to check in, and the receptionist/cleaner gave me a key, and told me that as we had a dog, my husband couldnt walk through the main hotel but to meet me at the basically fire door... or annex, whilst walking through I couldnt quite take it in, I thought are they having a laugh... It was like a waiting room, with sofas facing nothing and a big tv..? the ceiling was chip board, badly painted and to comply with fire regulations, they had the smoke alarms stretched ontop of the chip board {highly amusing}.

So I get to the room with the key and both doors are open with a chair in the way, one room {our room} the beds were not even made, so I wet back to reception and swapped the room, and was greeted with a well the rooms are not normally ready until 2 pm... the door didnt shut into the bathroom, the carpet was badly staineed and did not look like it had been cleaned in months, the walls were miscoated with paint, and the middle bits left I kid you not... The net curtains looked like they had seen better days, and the smell was horrific, my pooch looked at me to say are you kidding me my shed is cleaner...

The doors are so thick of paint that they squeak when you open them...these rooms are l worse than butlins....I actually slept ontop of the bed, with a towel over me fully clothed, as I
didnt want to get under the covers, I didn't use the kettle or cups or ear of cathcing something, {however they did have ample tea, coffee and sugar should you need it} the only good point was the lcd tv, which ironically worked,, but was on an old stand to fit a 14" portable tv!

The laminated sheet was sticky to tell you about the hotel and breakfast, we had the wost nights sleep ever, we oth ended up in our coats and towels over us on one single bed during the early hours and to add insult to injury we were trappeed as check out was 9 am! we were awake from 630 am and went out with the dog, re-packed the car and stayed on the park, we decided against breakfast and just wanted to get out, we didnt even shower as there was no hot water...

Upon checking out, the receptionist was not interested in our stay, I wanted to walk out without paying and wish I had done so now...I reluctantly gave her the remainder of the money, plus the additional £10 for the dog...????

Our meal ended up being, a bottle of wine and chips, the ironic thing was when we got to Lamphey we were shattered, we both had a lovely hot shower in our lovely clean cottage it was bliss, we went to the farmers market but ended up in bed at 8 pm...thinking back we wished we had booked 5 nights at the cottage.

The best thing that can happen to this hotel is: "Bulldose it, set fire to it".....How anyone can say its "lovely" is beyond me...

It truly is that bad....

Room Tip: if you book then you are numpties....

“Pleasant room and excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

The Commodore may have seen better days, but I found nothing to complain about. In particular, my room on the 2nd floor was pleasant, spacious, clean, warm and comfortable, and had a lovely view. And such excellent value - I have paid twice as much for accommodation that was no better.
