The Imperial Dragon Hotel

A modern countryside inn with sea views near Saundersfoot

This smart, purpose-built inn enjoys a lovely countryside setting near Saundersfoot, on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and surrounded by National Trust land, with panoramic sea and countryside views from some of its rooms. Long known locally as The Woodridge, it now trades as The Imperial Dragon Hotel, but the appeal is unchanged: a peaceful rural base that is still only minutes from the beaches and the coast. Guests rate it highly, at 9.2 out of 10 from more than 750 reviews, praising the comfort, the food and the tranquil location.

The rooms

Accommodation is modern and comfortable, with a good range of rooms to suit couples and families alike — Double, Twin, Queen, Deluxe Double and Luxury Queen rooms, plus Family rooms, several of which look out over the gardens and countryside. There are facilities for disabled guests too, and every room comes with tea- and coffee-making facilities. The whole property is non-smoking. It is the sort of place where you can spread out, relax and enjoy the quiet after a day exploring the coast.

Food, drink and the practical bits

Dining is a genuine highlight. The on-site restaurant, Lokky’s, serves Pan-Asian cuisine, and there is a comfortable bar, so you can eat and drink in without heading out of an evening. Breakfast is well rated, with a continental spread alongside a full English or Irish and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. There is free parking and free WiFi throughout. Dogs are welcome on request (charges may apply), so the family pet can come along to enjoy the beaches and coastal walks nearby.

Saundersfoot and the Pembrokeshire coast

The location combines peace with easy access to the coast. Saundersfoot beach is under two miles away, the entrance to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is around a mile off, and the walled town of Tenby — with its harbour, medieval streets and golden sands — is roughly a six-minute drive. Families are well served too, with the popular Folly Farm adventure park and zoo less than three miles away. Saundersfoot itself is a lively little resort with a busy harbour, sandy beaches and a good choice of pubs and eateries, and the wider coast path, beaches and harbour villages of south Pembrokeshire — consistently rated among the finest in the UK — are all within easy reach.
