We came here last year with my 93 year old father and returned because if it is such a relaxing place. The location overlooking St James church at the rear of the hotel is idyllic. Plus it is only a 5 minute walk to the small beach. Manobier castle ( 12th century) is a short walk too ....it has a coffee shop. The hotel has an old-fashioned charm with a modern boutuque twist. The restaurant downstairs is artistically decorated with beautiful lighting.Food in Castlemead is a very high standard also as it name suggests .....it is a 'Restaurant with rooms' We will definitely return .

We liked everything

The staff were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble The bedrooms were lovely and clean with plenty of storage and comfortable beds. We were impressed with The quality of the food and Gluten Free and vegetarian options were catered for. Two members of the family were leaving early next morning and a lovely breakfast bag option was offered which was gratefully received

We had the 3 coach rooms outside and our room did seem a little musty at first but there was very efficient heating so it warmed up quickly

The house and gardens were beautifully situated and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Our seaview room was definitely worth the extra expense and the dinner on the second night was excellent. The village pub is just up the road and very useful if you are there on a night that the restaurant is shut. The location was excellent for getting onto the coastal path and you also have the castle and church in the village to explore.

the accommodation is set in stunning surroundings and a short walk from the beach. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was excellent and great value for money. Breakfast was also exceptional with a wide range of choices. The rooms were comfortable and included a fridge which was a nice touch. The service from all staff was outstanding. After checking out, my brother unfortunately took a tumble and grazed both his knees, the staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful looking after him. Thank you.

nothing, we would definitely stay here again.

The location and staff were lovely. We took 2 dogs and they were very accommodating and helpful. The room was clean and warm with plenty of teas and coffees etc. The shower was very good. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

The room was a little tired, needs a freshen up. Issues were very minor and not dog related. Things like wallpaper needs tidying, minor paint touch ups and silicone renewal etc. Really not a problem just let the room down a bit. The mattress was a bit noisy. I slept fine but my wife was not so comfortable.

We always much enjoy our stay at Castlemead and return every year.The hotel is very clean and cozy and welcoming. Staff are lovely. We stay in the lodge which is dog friendly. Location is very good ...a short walk to beautiful Manorbier beach and coastal walk and Manorbier village. The breakfast and evening meal are both delicious and of high quality. Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next visit.

The atmosphere in the hotel and restaurant was relaxed, friendly and unpretentious, but the quality of the restaurant food was impressive, as was the copious cooked breakfast. The setting, with views over a medieval castle and a charming, unspoiled beach., was exceptional. The hotel was conveniently situated between the local hub of Tenby and the well-known National Trust coastline at Stackpole.

The fittings in the 'Coach House' room across the courtyard were a bit basic, but perfectly adequate and compensated by the sea view down the valley.

It's simple everything is to like the property is fantastic with log fires exceptional comfortable seating and the staff are first class and food is sensational with a lovely range local ciders and beers and wines if you are looking for a fantastic getaway then stop looking and book in here the beach and manabier Castle right on your door step and can't even begin to say how thrilled we was with our stay simply amazing

Nothing to dislike at all

Everything was excellent, staff, food, setting, room. A lovely garden with 2 friendly dogs roaming and a cat. Great to have a fridge/freezer box in the room where we could keep our beach supplies cold. Proximity to the beach was excellent and the local pub too!

Nothing to fault really but there could have been shelving in the bathroom, bar prices a bit high and could have made more regarding the garden furniture. Otherwise in the main our stay couldn't have been better.

Idyllic location and setting. The bay was visible from some rooms, and the castle was almost opposite. There was a lovely lawn at the back. The food was good quality and nicely cooked. The staff at mealtimes were excellent: attentive without being intrusive. The decor of the house was quirky and cosy.

Maybe get the building painted outside in a more inviting colour (it's present dull blue is a bit depressing). And a safety warning notice in the pond on the back lawn would have been more reassuring.
