On a cliff top, the hotel’s far-reaching views sweep over South Beach, the sea, the island fort of St Catherine and Caldey Island. Some of the classically styled bedrooms have a balcony overlooking the gardens. Guests can drink on the patio In fine weather, or relax in the spa (indoor heated pool, spa bath, steam room and loungers).

Peacefully situated in lawned gardens, this Victorian country house is in a leafy suburb outside the town. Comfortable rooms (many on the ground floor) have beds with crisp linen, fresh flowers and little extras. A few metres from the main building, those in the Coach Houses are the most spacious. Praise-worthy breakfasts include complimentary Buck’s Fizz. It’s a sprightly 20-minute walk to, and (uphill) from, Tenby.
