What a breakfast!

Delighted to find this charming, welcoming little spot for a one-night stay before a ferry journey. One of the best breakfasts I've had, with a selection of fresh fruits, breads and well-presented, delicious hot food.

Superb Hosts and Wonderful Breakfast.

Arrived late in the evening, Peter greeted us and showed us to our newly decorated room. All very clean . After a long journey we just wanted a cup of Tea and our bed, however we had no cups, a quick call and Peter and Jackie arrived with Mugs (just a slight overlook by housekeeping) Our breakfast the following morning I have to say was the best I have ever had in a hotel, Superb Fresh fruit salad and yoghurt. followed by a freshly cooked to order Full Welsh breakfast. The bacon was the best I have tasted .Good quality produce and locally sourced. We will definitely book again when visiting Mum in Fishguard.
