Spent two nights here. Absolutely fantastic place. Rooms were so clean and comfortable. I always forget to take a face cloth when I travel. Such a nice touch when I arrived and there was one supplied. I will certainly return.

This was an excellent situation for exploring Pembrokeshire. The breakfast was really good. The checkin process is seamless - you just grab an envelope with your name on it at the entrance. …

We spent one night at Portclew House, very close to Fresh Water East. It is a typically very well-run Welsh establishment. The room is large, with a very comfortable king size bed. The owners are welcoming and kind and the breakfast is excellent. We highly recommend. Very good value for money.
