Excellent, clean, friendly and relaxing

Check in was friendly and professional. Cleanliness was excellent and comfort in room was fantastic. Complementary spa use was a nice extra as well. One comment on the spa was the steam room and sauna weren't particularly hot. Perhaps just personal preference. Also the liner on the spa pool has come loose, feels a bit lumpy under foot.

The hotel & staff were first class. The spa treatments excellent but a bit expensive. The food was outstanding. The room with a sea view was amazing, every night we had a fantastic view of the sunset in Feb!! The sister hotel opposite served excellent food too. The only downside for us was the state of the car park which looked rather scrappy on arrival & rather let the hotel down.

Family reunion at the Cliff

Brilliant location with Panoramic views Excellent service with a caring touch Congratulations to the new owners for providing a great hotel in West Wales We last had a reunion 20 years ago when the hotel was looking a little tired but now what a difference. The Restaurant and breakfast facilities and meals were very good with no delays even with a full hotel The brasserie at the hotel entrance was also excellent. Will definitely return

All staff were great and the only 2 names I remember were Luke and Cici in the restaurant whom both gave excellent service. The food was amazing. The only criticism I could give, would be the mattress which was dipped in the middle and made our backs ache a little.

Feedback

Excellent stay incredible Sunday Lunch and breakfast we also had complimentary use of spa I also had a treatment with Ffion which was wonderful thank you Unfortunately a few small negatives for the room a large amount of dust from the extractor fan which was like confetti when the fan was activated. Not sure when it was last cleaned The sink in the bathroom was too small and dangerous with a glass shelf directly above it. Poor view from the room which was overlooked from other rooms

Great spot for the ferry

Took the ferry from Fishguard and wanted a pleasant place to stay the night before. This was a great pick! The only disappointing thing was my massage, otherwise it was all great. Solid food, lovely view, friendly staff, great. The room is basic, and the double bed was two singles pushed together, so you're still effectively in a twin as the gap is very noticeable.

food and the waiting staff were very good. Sadly, I doubt we will book an overnight stay again. This was our second stay and the rooms are ridiculously, unbearably hot during the night. We've mentioned this before, and other guests were discussing this at breakfast also. There is no AC in the rooms, and sadly with the location when we opened the window, the airflow caused an almost constant banging of the bedroom door. This is such a shame, as the location is great and the staff are professional and friendly. We barely got any sleep due to the ridiculous temperature and it's disappointing this hasn't been addressed.
