While some areas could use updating, the friendly staff and the dog-friendly policy create a welcoming atmosphere. I think its location and service make it a worthwhile consideration in Tenby.”

adequate stay, some drawbacks

small roomwater pressure
The room felt rather small. i am six foot seven, i could not really fit in the shower. Moving around the bathroom was hard too. i think the hotel is overpriced for what it offers. maybe give the better rooms first, so people don't complain about the smaller ones. I did ask for another room.
