Beautiful quiet setting.
Pros:

Thumbs up for this lovely clean, quiet Premier Inn. Beautiful setting, lovely helpful people, very clean room. Only thing I would say is that it was a little "tight" with facilities. Two of us staying for 2 nights, but only had one bath towel and one small towel. No glass/cups in the room at all, except of course fort the cups for beverages. Had to go and ask for more towels and a glass. Upon request at reception, very helpful and gave us what we needed.

A sad return
Pros:

This was a return visit and couldn’t remember anything bad about this venue. The welcome was good once the reception was manned. The room was clean and the bed comfortable, just like the advert.
However, although clean there wasn’t a grab rail in the bath and no option of a bath mat.
Our room, faced the car park and the Brewers Fayre restaurant. Unfortunately, the kitchen fan was loud and clearly heard in the room from 23:00 until 06:00 which didn’t assist sleep after a long drive.
The food in the restaurant was tasty although the service at the evening meal was disappointing.

Just excellent
Pros:

The best warm welcome I've had and I live out of Premier Inns due to work. And because I was getting in late Muffy went above and beyond to ensure I had a warm meal waiting on my arrival. Just excellent.

Great location
Pros:

Love the location of this hotel. The walk around the lake and onto the beach is great. Never tire of the view. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You cross the carpark to use The Brewers Fayre for breakfast. Ann is a fantastic server who has worked there some time. Nothing is too much trouble for her, every time we stay and have breakfast. The only downside this trip was poor internet connection, it kept kicking us off even when we paid extra for the Ultimate WiFi package. TBH we did get this refunded, but it's hard to plan further ongoing travel with limited WiFi.

Beautiful little hotel- Value for money
Pros:

We were travelling for a 50k Ultra Challenge so would only be sleeping at the hotel. we found the hotel to be wonderful, Helen gave is a very warm welcome and checked us in. The reception area was very clean and tidy with some beautiful local merchandise on offer aswell as tea and coffee.
Our rooms were very spacious and exceptionally clean. Well stocked with tea and coffee. The bathroom especially the shower was amazing and very much appreicated after walking 50k in 25 degree heat in 12 hours. The Bed was very welcoming and was so comfy and smelled fresh. I would highly recommend this hotel, and we will definatly be staying again in the future.

Great room, great location. Lenny doesn’t lie
Pros:

Booked 2 rooms in order to attend a family wedding in the town. Room was very clean and well laid out. Bed was a little firm but is was a hot night and the air con was lush. Slept well. Wedding venue was a 5 min walk from hotel so perfect spot. Double bonus is was a short walk to the beach as well. Breakfast was provided by the Brewers Fayre pub next door and was good quality and plenty of it. Would definitely stay in a premier inn again

Noisy and a definite lowering of standards
Pros:

From the first moment of our arrival at reception we could tell how Premier Inns have lowered their standards, we were told that if we wished to book in 3/4 of an hour early it would cost £15. The room provided was adequate although noisy from the outside air conditioning, our rooms was turned off.
The pillow case was worn and holed and the duvet cover was stained. Only one pillow per guest was provided and a total of two tea bags. Car parking was difficult as car park seemed quite full during the day till late evening. So all in all not welcoming, noisy and no sense of being cared about.

Awesome stay at sandpiper
Pros:

I took my family to visit in-laws in wales - we live in Manchester so after a four hour drive we got to the Sandpiper premier inn Llanelli and we were spoilt from the start
Staff on the desk at 11 pm at night offered to help with our stuff to the room and helped out with the doors also we have a severely disabled Daughter and Matthew the manager put cones in one of the disabled bays some we always had a space to get her Wheelchair closer to the doors as it rained the first two days
I can’t thank the staff enough it really gave the family touch that a lot of these hotels sorely miss we will definately stay here again
Oh and also the breakfast was amazing too cherry on the cake !!!!

Great hotel and service!
Pros:

After 6 hours travelling down to Llanelli to see family, we needed a later check in time. This hotel were able to accommodate us! Thank you! Had the best few days at this hotel, the whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The rooms are lovely and modern. The beds are very comfortable. Staff were very pleasant, helpful and full of knowledge about the surrounding areas and things to do! We had food in brewers fayre which was also fantastic.

Deffinatly would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Up to the usual Premier Inn standard
Pros:

Plenty of free parking spaces. Remember to register your reg number on arrival.
We booked a room on the day of staying. £52 room only for two on a Sunday evening. Great price for a comfortable bed and clean room. Can't ask for more.
Check out the following day is at 12pm. Ideal for a lie in!
The Sandpiper Brewers Fayre is located next door. We booked a table for 6pm. Great food for great prices.

As expected
Pros:

Comfortable, quiet & warm with friendly & welcoming staff. However, this particular Inn really needs to sort out the television reception. Very, very limited channel choice. Having used this particular Inn before, this is clearly on ongoing issue and not a one off with a particular room.

Great hotel……. awful breakfast.
Pros:

Hotel was great. Reception staff very welcoming and friendly.

Let down badly by the breakfast at Brewers Fayre. Very low quality ingredients, arrived to table barely warm. Far too expensive at £10:99, cheaper and superior quality breakfast can be found locally.

No heating in room!!
Pros:

Mh husband and I recently stayed overnight here due to coming down to sort our caravan out to go dealers for repairs, as we live in Hereford we thought come and have a nice relaxed stay rather than rushing to go home. It was freezing temperatures the time we came. We were greeted with a lovely friendly lady called Sarah on reception who gave us our key and gave us info on hotel, restaurant etc, we are familiar with it anyhow as area is second home to us! We paid her for breakfasts the following day as we're meeting friends for tea so didn't have meal deal which we normally do but had a cheaper saver price before 6pm for tea! We got up to our room very clean and tidy apart from huge cobweb over bed!!!! My hubby thought it was cold in there so went to put heating on at wall that controls both aircon and heat so we are familiar with this having stayed in premier inns before. It kept going off as he did it, so several attempts later he went down to Sarah who put something on computer, came back up, same thing again, by now we'd wasted 45 mins and needed shower and change befire meeting our friends, he went back down to be told she'd have to speak to manager. He had shower and changed and as I was in shower, Sarah came up to say that hotel was full but she could move us to another room, which was accessible one only one left! We repacked and went down to move but I took one look and saud to.my hubby I couldn't stay in it, it was like an old person's hospital room !! So I saud we will keep our old room! I asked if they had a heater we could use she saud they didn't. Off we went to meet our friends, and were late! Arrived back hour or so later to a warm room! Sarah had got us an oil filled rad and put it on! Wecwere very gratefully, my hubby went to thank her to which she refunded our breakfasts for next day too which we found very good! We had a hassle on arrival so didn't end up too relaxing but this made up for it and wecwere very grateful. We slept well and had a lovely breakfast next morning, thank you Sarah and premier inn!!
