Helpful staff
Pros:

We wanted a stopover between Sheffield and Haverfordwest so chose this hotel for a night. It had been a very hot day about 30C, so overnight it was going to be hot too. The staff kindly provided us with a fan and our bedroom window had been left opened, so we coped. Breakfast buffet was adequate and we had a sea view whilst eating it, which was nice. We have an electric car and the manager was very helpful directing us to the nearby MacDonalds, which had mid range EV chargers.

Nice location opposite the beach just too hot in the hotel rooms and foyer
Pros:

Prime location

Cons:

Room was very hot, stains on the carpet in the room, no aircon it was very hot in the room no air coming in as the window had a safety lead attached and we couldn’t handle it and cut short our stay

Nice hotel by the beach but staff could do better
Pros:

Nice location by the sea front. Clean rooms, good size. Refurbished rooms and interiors, although the building looks old from outside.

Cons:

no air conditioning and our window could only open slightly which was not enough for a hot day. My wife was bit unwell so we asked for a slightly late check out (12.00). But according to the guy in the reception they need 24 hours notice for any late check outs otherwise it is strictly 11.00am, have never heard this from any hotels. I am not sure how guests could face an unexpected situation.

Breakfast staff moaned alot.
Not stocked up came down was no orange juice or breakfast tea or hot water. When those supplied there was no milk. Didn't rush to supply these. Could have brought a trolley with everything on instead walked back and forth took a long time.

The man on reception was excellent - a one man army, reception, waiter, maintenance - always with a smile on his face.

Cons:

The view of half an acre of flat tarmac roof from our bedroom, if we had beeen offered the option we would have picked a sea view.

Delicious afternoon tea
Pros:

Was lucky enough to receive the gift of afternoon tea here for my birthday. Myself and my friend thoroughly enjoyed the delicious fresh afternoon tea, nice choice of sandwiches and the cakes were also fresh and different, obviously there was the huge scone with clotted cream and jam..thank goodness they provide boxes to take home what you can't eat.
Staff were really lovely, very attentive...we were very impressed with the decor of the hotel and myself and my friend will definitely return for a girly lunch.
