Location and Access

Hotel Services

The Clarence House Hotel is housed in a cream Georgian row house with a green iron fence wrapping around the ground floor and a green balcony railing that extends across the entire building. There is a lift to all floors and a disabled entrance to the side of the building. Safety features include a carbon monoxide detector, a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, a first aid kit, and window guards. Friendly receptionists are available from 8 AM to 11 PM daily.

“Clarence House Hotel benefits from an enviable position, steps away from Tenby's bustle yet retaining a tranquil atmosphere. Its clifftop bar and garden, complete with waterfall, provide unexpected delights, while some rooms even offer balconies where the sounds of the sea prevail. I think its blend of friendly service and prime location makes it a worthwhile consideration.”

some issues

excellent locationleaking windowfreezing cold
the location was excellent, right by the beach stairs.
our room was not great. the window leaked when it rained, and the wind blew the blind down. it was also freezing cold. staff did put towels on the window and turned on the heating, but it wasn't ideal.
