Perfect inn, perfect stay
Pros:

Absolutely great property for our 3-night stay in Pembroke. Staff attentive, lovely quiet room, great location (easy walk from train station and 5 minute walk to castle), and a cozy pub/old inn feel. Tony at the bar each night was a super host. We ate all three dinners there and food was terrific, as was breakfast. Made for a great experience in Pembroke. We also rented a car for one day (Silcox Rental - great service!) for jaunt to St David’s and coast. So glad we stayed here

Clean, comfortable rooms, exceptional breakfast.
Pros:

Spotlessly clean, cosy rooms. Very quiet (we were at the back of the hotel, I don't know about the front). Great shower/water pressure.

Excellent breakfast: great choice of 4 main options (variety of vg/fish/meat) plus condiments/toast.

Lovely friendly, helpful staff.

Decent private car park.

Cons:

The bed was a double, rather than a king, and the springs quite bouncy. If you or your partner moves much, it's quite disturbing for the other person. If this is a problem for you, suggest booking a twin!

Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour dans ce charmant hôtel, à commencer par l’accueil du propriétaire, un homme charmant dont nous avons apprécié les nombreux conseils et les conversations que nous avons eu.
La chambre etait spacieuse, avec le charme de l’ancien.
Nous y avons trés bien mangé tant le matin que le soir, le service était trés agréable.

L’hotel est idéalement situé dans le pembrokeshire, permettant de visiter la Côte sud et la côte ouest en voiture.

Nous avons même pu y découvrir la série "fawlty towers" grâce à une réception à thème! Nous n’en garderons que des bons souvenirs.

Cons:

Rien

A very nice hotel, to which we would willingly return.
Pros:

Breakfast was plentiful, with a good wide choice.
Room was spotless, and kept that way.

Cons:

Dinners were very good, except that the vegetables failed, with mainly carrots and little else. We agreed with the people on the next table, that the meal left one wanting a little more, even though we do not have large appetites. Vegetables are cheap, and on a £20 meal, they could so easily be more generous and varied, and not cost more than 75p extra to provide.
