I stayed here with friends for two nights last Easter and had the most wonderful time!…read more We approached the house (which is a former 19th century hunting lodge) via a long drive with fields and woods on either side. In the afternoon sunshine it really looked truly enchanting. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Olive Edwards, who brought us tea and shortbread to enjoy on the terrace (lovely). The guest house is 4* and has been renovated by Mr & Mrs Edwards. The bed rooms which are immaculate, are comfortable rather than luxurious. The lounge was large and welcoming, with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Breakfast was superb and served in a large, sunny dinning room. We were able to walk from the hotel through the fields to Three Cliffs Bay- my favourite beach ever! The hotel is also a pony trekking centre and if we had been staying longer I would have signed up to go trekking. We had a wonderfully relaxing two night stay, and I can't wait to go back again!

I stayed at the Diplomat Hotel for five days while visiting family in the area. The stay was…read morepleasant and comfy for the most part. The hotel has a great view of the town of Llanelli, since it is high up on a hill. They also have lots of nice outdoor seating. I enjoyed going down there in the evening to have a drink. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable albeit small, since it was a twin bed. But I believe that is the norm in the U.K, no complaining. I found most of the staff accommodating and friendly, particularly David at the front desk. My only warning particularly for summer guests, THEY DO NOT HAVE A/C in the rooms! So I suggest asking the front desk about lending a fan for your room. We told David at the front desk about the a/c situation and he suggested we could borrow one of the fans from the hotel. That was so nice of him! Another thing I wanted to express about my stay was their breakfast... for £16 it is severely underwhelming and I would suggest having it. Go anywhere else. I had breakfast down their once... and I'm glad I didn't purchase their packaged breakfast deal on their website... very underwhelming food. I ended up just having cereal and coffee. Also they only filled my coffee one time, since the staff was so busy flipping tables for lunch. The food in general at the hotel was not good... I had their tapas the first night and it was passable. I had their dinner - a mushroom risotto and it was so so. The atmosphere in their dining room is dreadful. It sort of reminded me of my high school (or secondary school) gymnasium. The elevator music in there made it worse... They also have a spa and indoor pool downstairs. I enjoyed the steam room a lot with the eucalyptus coming through the steamers...ah! I wished I used it more. All in all, I enjoyed my stay. I probably would return if I come back to the area.

This is the ultimate Tenby institution. The New Year's Eve parties at Tenby House Hotel are the…read morestuff of legend, and the place is lively, kooky and full of brilliant Welsh banter. With one of our beloved friends, a would-be DJ at the helm, the family-run Tenby House Hotel is populated by Jacks of all Trade left, right and centre. Really what you're here for is the booze and the atmosphere. The music is always pumping - it might not be your cup of tea but it's loud and it's perfect for a drunken dance. At Christmas the bar really comes alive with the twinkliest of lights and the most ostentatious of decorations, and it's the sort of place where you can't help but down a few shots to kick the night off. Also, if you're lucky enough to know any of the staff (and it doesn't take long... they're very sociable), you might find yourself in one of Tenby House's world famous lock-ins. These are always memorable, and if you get the chance, get involved. There's a great outdoor area for the smokers and sun-worshippers, and the place itself is huge. The toilets can get a little waterlogged but that's more down to over-zealous clientele than lazy staff. It's got character written through it like a stick of Welsh rock and the fact that such an enormous place gets packed out so easily is testament to its popularity. You can't holiday in Tenby or even nearby Saundersfoot without giving this legendary place a try.

We took advantage of a Groupon offer for a luxury stay at Ty Mawr Mansion(not to be confused by the…read moresimilar named Ty Mawr restaurant and hotel in Brechfa) and were delighted with our experience at the beautifully restored Georgian mansion house. On our arrival the owner, Martin, was immediately on hand to help with luggage and welcome us to the lovely Ty Mawr. We were delighted with our huge suite room, named after previous guest Kiera Knightly, the bedroom with lounge area was dual aspect overlooking the free range chickens and lovely grounds and larger than the whole of our own upstairs house! The luxurious and modern bathroom with a spa bath and rainshower made for a very relaxing pre dinner freshen up. The hotel suite rooms also have their own computers with free broadband, maybe not the speediest of computers but useful for looking up local places and event. Tea tray included delicious home made biscuits, only tiny criticism could be lack of variety with only standard but high quality tea and coffee sachets. An extremely comfortable and huge bed which we were sad to leave. The food, as the previous reviewer of Ty Mawr has written, is delicious and of a very high quality both for dinner and a wonderful breakfast...want more home made bread and toast yum.

The welcome from the owners is like being greeted by friends. I have eaten in their small restaurant on three occasions. On each occasion it was full. The clients include many locals who have, like me, discovered this little gem in the midst of West Wales. The food is sourced locally and the menu reflects what is in season. The rooms are generous and beautifully furnished with modern, lavishly fitted bathrooms. The hotel has 5 star rating and the restaurant has been awarded 1 AA rosette. I highly recommend the restaurant, the food is absolutely superb.

Ah, Ashwick House. What a delight…read more I hadn't been to Exmoor before, and so was very excited as we weaved our way through its treasure trove of villages, bound for Dulverton. Then we took a turn on to the moor, across a cattle grid, down a single track road, and past the Exmoor Pony Centre. In a wooded Coombe lay Ashwick House, an old shooting lodge tastefully refurbished into a very comfortable country house hotel. The first good point about this hotel became evident immediately - the host came out to meet and greet us with an easy, relaxed air. Staying at Ashwick House feels more like staying with some friends for the weekend, but in luxurious comfort. The host and hostess are very friendly, but also allow you enough privacy to enjoy your weekend. The balance is perfect. When you enter the house you'll encounter the main hall - very much the central room. A grand hall for a grand house, but still cosy enough to enjoy your evening drink in. It also has a very good collection of oriental furniture which manages to blend perfectly with the age and atmosphere of the house. We were then shown to our room. Nicely decorated and a newly refurbished bathroom. I was particularly pleased to see that there was a small fridge in the corner meaning we had been given fresh milk in a jug. (I can't stand those horrible plastic pots of milk.) You have the option to dine in at Ashwick house, and I would strongly recommend trying this at once during your stay. The 5 (or is it 6) course menu is excellent, with a good selection each evening. The price is at the higher end of the scale, but I was perfectly happy to pay for the quality of the food. The chef is also happy to be adaptable, as proved when I asked for plain pasta pre-marathon! The breakfast was also very good. Homemade fruit compote and yoghurt, a selection of cereals and then the delicious full english. I've never seen a full english presented so well, and boy did it taste good! Slightly sad to see the absence of beans, but I think that's more my fault for not asking for them. Ashwick House made me realise the value of a weekend in a country house hotel. Not something I've done that much, but I have now made a mental note to indulge myself in the future. I think I'll definitely be returning to enjoy this magnificent area of the West Country. (I haven't mentioned any of the history of the house, as I'll let you enjoy discovering this when you stay!)

A nice touch: the host came out to greet us as we arrived and later showed us around some of the private rooms. The food was excellent;the menu varied and we particularly enjoyed sitting in the hall before the wood burning stove savouring the first drink of the evening whilst hearing from our host and hostess about the history of the house. We did not see the red deer this time but we'll be back to this special place

They have…read morerecently extended the bar and restaurant so can now accomodate many more people but I don't think it has lost any of its charm because of it. It really is the place to go in the Summer, people are spilling out of it clutching their drinks and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. If you do manage to get a table to eat in the restaurant the food will not disspoint you. Most of it seems to be locally sourced and it has a very good and quite informative menu. It is a bit pricey, but its still a good place to go for a special occassion. I have taken my 2 oldest children there (8 & 6 years) and they enjoyed it but I don't think I'd want to take my younger two there as it would be too stressful. I've never stayed in the hotel but have heard that it is very nice, the photos in the brochure certainly seem good and it is in an amazing postion.

The bar and restaurant are very busy. Deservingly so. The free continental breakfast is a culinary delight and the rooms are very nice. Stayed here for a few days and wished it could have been longer. When we found out we had no hot water in our room the manager came up personally offered us another room on the other wing of the hotel that had hot water. We thanked them and they assisted us into another MUCH nicer room and even offered to have the bar send some drinks to our room. Very classy and very well handled. But I do want to apologize to the Harbourmaster staff, five stars are all they will let me give you guys! Sorry!
