One night stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Jun 2022
Situated in a wood it is off the beaten track a mile or so outside Saundersfoot
The room was tidy, clean and well supplied with coffee/tea makings. A nice touch was the fudge and biscuits on the bed !
Steps into the room and up to the enormous bathroom may be a problem for the more elderly
Our bath hot tap seemed jammed but Roy quickly set too and had it all fixed in minutes .
Breakfast was excellent with a large menu range, which has to be pre-.
ordered, which I do not find to be a problem.
One suggestion might be that Sam ,who was ever charming and helpful, might want to consider slightly smarter dress for the dining room.
Overall an excellent stay, well priced and we look forward to returning later in the year.
Thank you Vicky ,Roy and Sam
Date of stay: June 2022
Room Tip: If steps are a problem contact Roy about which room to book

Forensic review

First off - congratulations on surviving the pandemic which must have tested people's overdraft to the max. Anyone who got through it deserves a medal.

We decided not to stay at the more well-known Tenby due to the costs and the lack of parking. Parking here was free which is a major plus. As we booked a five night stay this would add up significantly.

DOG FRIENDLY Yes you really do need to like dogs. On our second night, there were no less than 16 dogs almost taking over the bar area They are fairly well behaved but pampered animals do not always respond to their owner's commands. One dog was impolite enough to take a dump on the carpet but that was cleared up promptly.

THE BEDROOM. Ours was No 3. The mattress is of good quality. The building is old so there is quite a lot of creaking and bumping, not to mention the occasional bark in the corridors. The shower just about works.

BREAKFAST. Huge choice and you can tick a number of items to suit. For example, yogurt, fruit salad, porridge, then a choice of about 15 hot foods from a traditional fry-up to a generous portion of scrambled egg and salmon. You are asked to book your choice the night before.

EVENING MEAL - advertised from 6.30 to 7.30. You basically book for 6.30 or 7 pm. Food was not served on Tuesday or Thursday this week (6-10 June 22) All meals can be eaten in the restaurant or the pub area. Doggie people tend to eat in the bar area. You will find the prices very reasonable and the portions ample. You must book in the morning and select your dish.

THE BAR - Roy the owner knows very little about how to serve a drink. I asked for a Gin and Tonic. I asked for two bits of ice and was given two minute cubes. He served it in an orange juice glass made of thick glass which warmed up the Gin in a blink of an eye. I ended up with a warm gin and tonic. OK my fault for not complaining but for the reasons given below I was not minded to.

THE RECEPTION AREA - normally unattended so you have to ring a bell. I did so on arrival. I said in my best greeting voice' You must be Roy'. His first words were 'I tried your card but it failed'. Anyway, we signed in. My impression was of a tired person with much on his mind. Guests seemed almost a nuisance. I sensed he had a short fuse. In the bar, I asked if the order I made on arrival was for one course of two as we had not seen a menu. He appeared flustered and said he did not know, so he had to ask behind the scenes.

Who knows what goes on behind the scenes but in my view, you should not take on a position in the hospitality industry if you don't like people. He tolerates them. Just.

SAM SAVES THE DAY - The complete opposite - and the savior of the stay - was Sam, the affable and 'nothing is too much trouble' waiter. He served at both breakfast and dinner. He made us feel welcome. 100% heart. Lovely chap. I was happy to give him a significant tip on departure.

THE AREA - not many suitable restaurants and evening ones tend to be booked up. Advance booking is necessary for example for The Royal Oak, the #1 in Saundersfoot. OK there is fish and chips plenty but even they close around 7pm The town is 10 minutes away on foot so you may choose to leave the car

There is a garden area behind the establishment. The shrubs are ill-kempt and need attention.

A Bus passes the end of the road to Tenby each hour. You hail it. 381 I think it was. There is little public transport after 6pm.

Roy - time to retire or hand over to someone else, or sell as a going concern. First impressions count but hats off for taking responsibility for a 24/7 day operation.

We love staying here. So dog friendly. The owners Roy and Vickie as well as the staff make you so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts allow for many tastes. The full English is great. We had two evening meals and couldn’t fault them. We will be back soon.

Stayed for five nights November 2021. Genuinely hospitable hosts, nice big comfortable room with a superb breakfast. The hotel is set in a quiet secluded location. Our small Jack Russell terrier was made very welcome. Would stay again.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here, me,my husband and little dog were made to feel very welcome. Nice touches in the room, little bags of hand made fudge and home made biscuits and a little bag of dog bones for my doggie. Nice big car park, lovely woods to walk our dog. Had a couple of drinks in the evening in the bar, was nice to chat with Roy and a big bonus for us on our last night was seeing badgers and foxes in the floodlit garden through the window, which was fantastic. Breakfast was lovely, preordered and spoilt for choice. Will definitely stay again.
