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 lovely family-run hotel
Pros:

It is a beautiful old coaching inn which
feels comfortable, spacious and quiet, yet it is right in the middle of Pembroke. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. The beds are comfortable. The hotel is within easy reach of beautiful beaches and coastal walks as well as historic sights.

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.

A comfortable, well-kept, traditional pub/hotel at the heart of Pembroke
Pros:

My double room was quiet, light and spacious with good views out of the bay window. Stylish, traditional furniture, well decorated with a comfortable double bed. Clean and well kept bathroom. Downstairs has the feel of a traditional comfortable and cosey pub/hotel. Service was friendly and efficient. Well situated in the centre of Pembroke a short walk from the castle. Car parking available at rear.

Cons:

Evening meals were good but hotel rather than pub prices.

A very comfortable and relaxed couple of days.
Pros:

The location was perfect, right in the centre of the town with a private car park.. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had asked for quiet rooms and that is what we had. The food we had in the evening was absolutely delicious.

Cons:

The bathroom in our room could have done with a radiator or at least a heated towel rail.
