Hotels in Tenby

When it comes to hotels in Tenby, the range on offer is typical of a British seaside resort...

At the top end of the market, luxury can be found at country house hotels on the edge of town as well as seafront Georgian buildings that have been converted to provide all the comforts and facilities needed for a good night's sleep.

Smaller places without the views and B&Bs are also available for visitors looking for mid-range accommodation and budget rooms. But you won't find any of the major hotel brand names in Tenby, as all the accommodation in the area is locally run.

The town is a great draw for families, and large family rooms are commonplace in Tenby hotels. However, you might need to book for at least two nights in the peak holiday periods, which include bank holiday weekends and all school holidays.

Once you've finished your ice cream, tour Tenby and discover the highlights of this attractive destination...

From the beach below the town to the castle perched above it, visitors are enthralled by lovely Tenby.
