Book this if You want a sharp, modern base for exploring Pembrokeshire that feels more like a tech-forward city hotel than a dusty seaside B&B.
Why People Love It
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with genuine marina views
- Dulse restaurant serves high-end seafood without the stuffiness
- The 'Floatel' cabins offer a unique sleep-on-the-water experience
Quick Take: A slick, glass-fronted addition to the marina that delivers on comfort but relies heavily on the view to distract you from the lack of a pool.
Reviewed by @Laurasidestreet: We loved using this hotel as our base in Pembrokeshire. The marina views from our balcony were stunning, and having paddleboarding and the museum right on the doorstep made the trip so easy with kids. The food at Dulse was a total highlight too—fresh and delicious!
