We loved the hotel, We loved Tenby and the hotel is in great spot.
Pros:

The Staff throughout the Hotel were so friendly and helpful. The Location is Wonderful. The Hotel was dog friendly ❤️🐶 Food was great 👍🏻😊

Cons:

Sadly Our room was so small with hardly any room to move around, the view was of the back of the hotel. And with My partner being a 6ft 6inch Male the shower was completely unsuitable I’m only 5ft 4inch and struggled to move around in the shower 😔

Great location however requires renovations.
Pros:

Great location on the water, with a semi-attached cliffside bar which was gorgeous.

Cons:

The flooring was uneven in our room, the shower was tiny and overall the photos didn't quite seem to match the rooms we were provided.

Excellent, friendly service from all staff through from reception to restaurant to bar staff, !
Pros:

This is a 2* hotel and also grade 2 listed.
It was much more towards a 3 star but the staff were absolutely 5 star class.
Nothing was too much trouble and they catered for everyone.
We went with the attitude - its a 2 star and it was definitely better then we expected.
Good size rooms, breakfast Sunday - amazing - Saturday would have enjoyed some fruit but as I say 2 star. It was better then we expected.
We were there for the Iron Man competition and this was the absolutely perfect spot.
We asked for clean towels, delivered straight away and this meant our Newphew (who completed the race with a 10 hr 8 min time) could pop up to our room and have a shower and come back out to watch his friends finish their race.
Prices in the bar, food were extremely reasonable and they allowed the factilities to be used by spectuators where others had security on the doors.
Really really great experience and nothing could beat the location for this race or wanting to be able to overlook the sea

Cons:

To be honest not much for the rate it has.
The hash browns could have been not so overcooked and some fruit available for breakfast
The shower was not perfect but we have stayed at 4* hotels where we have been really disappointed as we expected more.
It would be lovely for the hotel to get a grant to redo all the windows as they did rattle a lot but as I say 2* but if there were two things to improve it would be those, in my opinion.

Lovely Sea View and Great Location
Pros:

The best thing about this hotel is the beautiful sea view and the fact that the beach is just a few steps away, as the hotel is located right on the Esplanade.

Overall, I would say it offers good value for money. It is not a new hotel, but for a one- or two-night stay, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Cons:

The breakfast and service could perhaps be improved a little, but overall we had a pleasant stay.

Lovely birthday night , the up grade was much appreciated, Thank you 🤗
Pros:

Had an upgrade when we arrived not sure if it was because it was my birthday but it was a lovely gesture. Stayed in room 110 which had a massive comfortable bed , lovely decor and a lovely balcony opening door which overlooked the beautiful sea , had a lovely sleep listening to the waves crashing.Have stayed here several times before , the bar is lovely , cheap prices and lovely staff . Clarence House is one of our favourite hotels in Tenby .

Cons:

Wi fi didn’t work on arrival but was quickly sorted with a new password at reception.
