The Gower Family Hotel

A family-run hotel in the heart of Saundersfoot

The Gower Hotel is a family-run hotel set just back from the harbour and beach in the popular seaside village of Saundersfoot, on the south Pembrokeshire coast. With twenty en-suite rooms, a light and airy conservatory restaurant and free on-site parking, it makes a comfortable and convenient base for a classic Welsh beach holiday — the sand, the harbour and the village’s shops and restaurants are all just a short walk away.

The rooms

The hotel has twenty en-suite bedrooms in a range of sizes — twins, doubles and family rooms — so it suits couples and families alike. Some rooms have balconies and views over the bay, making the most of the seaside setting. Each room comes with tea and coffee making facilities and a television, and there is free Wi-Fi available.

Dining and facilities

At the heart of the hotel is the Orangery Restaurant, set in a bright conservatory that makes a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal, alongside the hotel bar. One of the hotel’s practical advantages in a busy resort village is its free private parking at the rear — a real bonus in Saundersfoot during the summer, when on-street spaces are at a premium. The friendly, family-run style of service is a big part of why guests return.

Saundersfoot and the south Pembrokeshire coast

Saundersfoot is one of Pembrokeshire’s best-loved resorts, built around a pretty working harbour with sandy beaches stretching away on either side. The village has a good range of shops, cafés and restaurants, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path links it to the neighbouring beaches at Coppet Hall and Wiseman’s Bridge through a series of old tramway tunnels — a lovely, level walk. Just along the coast lies the medieval walled town of Tenby, with its harbour and pastel-coloured houses, and boat trips run from Tenby out to the monastic Caldey Island.

Days out from Saundersfoot

Saundersfoot is a brilliant base for a south Pembrokeshire holiday. The level coastal walk through the old tramway tunnels to Wiseman’s Bridge and Amroth is a local favourite, especially at sunset, while the Pembrokeshire Coast Path leads the other way towards Monkstone Point and Tenby. The medieval walled town of Tenby — with its harbour, pastel houses and three beaches — is just along the coast, and from Tenby you can take a boat to the monastic Caldey Island to see the monastery and sample the monks’ chocolate and perfume. Families are well served too, with Folly Farm and Heatherton outdoor activity park both a short drive away, and the beaches at Coppet Hall and Saundersfoot itself ideal for a classic bucket-and-spade day.
