Penally Abbey in Pembrokeshire

We visited Penally Abbey for the first time in November 2022, where we got engaged a short walk away on the beach, and then again in September 2024, for a short break straight after our wedding. In 2022, we stayed in room 6, and this time we stayed in room 5. Both rooms are absolutely stunning with amazing views of the sea. Penally Abbey is so beautiful, and the team are helpful and friendly. We love the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting. We had dinner at Rhosyn, which was great, and enjoyed cocktails from the bar. It was lovely to be welcomed with coffee and cake on arrival. The location is absolutely beautiful. As well as a walk along the beach, I'd recommend checking out local walks in the area, we particularly enjoyed Barafundle Bay and the Bosherston Lily Ponds. On both visits, we had issues when we planned to go out for dinner in Tenby with the trains being unreliable due to the single track and a lack of availability of taxis between the hotel and Tenby at "peak" times. Obviously a very pleasant walk along the beach at low tide, but high tide/night time it's less easy! So if venturing into Tenby for a few drinks, I'd recommend pre-booking taxis and perhaps not relying too much on the public transport!

This was my first trip to Penally and Penally Abbey despite living local to the area and I was blown away with how beautiful it is. The garden was so lush with a variety of flowers, trees and bushes and was so pleasant to sit in and admire the view of the sea in. We were greeted and served by the wonderful Eirlys who made us feel so welcomed as soon as we stepped in the door. I'd like to personally thank her for making our visit perfect, she went above and beyond to help is today and she really stood out to us as a kind and accommodating member of staff. Also shout out to the lovely cleaner lady (I didn't catch her name) who was also incredibly kind. The food was delicious. We opted for a cream tea and the scones came out piping hot and yummy! I had an Earl Grey tea to accompany and it was just perfect. The views are spectacular here and worth the winding roads it takes to get there. I can't wait to visit again, it was just perfect and so well decorated, we must have taken 100 pictures each!

The restaurant was also amazing.

Simply wonderful Beautiful interior, amazing food, lovely garden, friendly staff. Faultless.

My wife and I had such a wonderful meal experience this evening and this is truly one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at in the area. If you are looking for high-end exquisite food, Penally Abbey is the place to go. Thank you again, Penally Abbey, we will be back!

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful place a few weeks ago for the second time. The staff are excellent as is the food. We were very kindly upgraded to room 5 and it was absolutely stunning, so thank you to the staff for that gesture. We will be back again!

What a beautiful place The afternoon tea is worth a try . And the staff are lovely nothing was to much trouble!

First time here this evening and what a gem, great service, lovely location and quirky building. The food was very good although for me the sides such as Pembrokeshire potatoes and Tenderstem Broccoli were soaked in too much oil when they didn't need to be. The lamb was on point and the sauce to accompany was excellent. I would however liked to have seen another starter and main to consist of another vegetarian option. Although in fairness the chef did tailor what was on offer which is always appreciated. Great selection of wines with a great mark up aswell. So for the 2 of us starters, mains and one desert along with 1 bottle of Chablis is £185. When charging these kind of prices I also expect the wine and water to be poured without having todo it myself, Michelin star prices not necessarily Michelin star service.

We found this amazing hotel during our walk around Tenby and Penally town , this hotel looked stunning and beautiful, good location from the Tenby beach and so many things to do around Penally town, if you like quite this hotel and this town would be your ideas. We had a lovely time whilst we were there. The garden was stunning!
