Salutation Inn, Velindre, Pembrokeshire

Disappointing customer service.

Within minutes of making my booking, I realized I had accidentally selected the wrong hotel location. I immediately called the manager, Emyr, using the published telephone number, explained the mistake, and asked if the reservation for the two rooms could be refunded. He referred me to Expedia Customer Service, and they discussed the matter directly.

Despite the booking error being reported almost immediately, I was told that only one of the two rooms would be refunded, leaving me to pay for the other. This was an honest mistake, and I contacted them so quickly that I find it hard to believe the hotel was placed at any real disadvantage or lost the opportunity to resell the room.

Policies are important, but so is common sense and good customer service. A little understanding and goodwill would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left feeling that strict adherence to policy—and the opportunity to profit from an obvious human error—took precedence over treating a customer fairly. Unfortunately, that experience means I cannot recommend this hotel.

Was quite good but there was alot of spider webs in cupboards and was a bit itchy in bed but it was really comfy I cluding the pillows.pretty good sleep.nice that you could have a bath or a shower.we made most of the bath for our short stay as we don't have a bath at home.we did seem to have a stain suddenly appear on our bedding for some reason after housemate had been our room we thought was strange.they made the bed and put the bath Matt's neatly in the bath but they didn't empty bin which we thought was strange but all good.it was only for 2 nights.most staff was pretty friendly and sad to find that they are selling up😞.I wish them luck and hope someone who keep caring with passion to take over cos this place is a sweet gem with a really nice walk nearby.the continental which was included was okay for us but would of liked a bit more of it being continental breakfast as it was more just a basic breakfast but okay.did the job.the actual full breakfast wasn't too bad.on our first morning I did have a cup and a spoon missing from our table soo had to find another one somewhere.nice to have a TV which wasn't a bad size and felt quite happy to be staying in room at times.the blind it kinda work but was quite hard to make come down and the blind I had to use my hands to make it turn to private but we did it soo all was okay.the bathroom door was not fully working as we couldn't properly close it but enough to keep smells away soo all good.bathroom window I found hard to close.

Just home from a overnight stay here. 4 double rooms was booked and couldn't of been happier. Was greatest by a very friendly girl who explained everything we needed to know. We unpacked and got changed after a long day motorcycling. Headed down for food which was outstanding complete with desert. After we went into the bar for a few games of pool and drinks. All the staff and locals was super friendly.
The rooms complete with tea/coffee facilities freeview tv double bed shower over bath. 👌 great night's sleep for all. Breakfast in the morning was perfect just the right size complete with help your self cereals and juice. Full English with toast included with your stay. We paid £70 per room and was worth every penny. Thank you and as 4 bikers we felt very welcomed and will certainly use again.

Basic accommodation but everything that was needed. Comfortable twin beds, nice and firm.
Bathroom was adequate but without a toilet lid there was no place to put toiletries so a small shelf or table would have been good. Overall, very good value for money. Nice full length mirror. Somewhere cosy to store our bikes (laundry room) and great curry for our evening meal. Were there hooks behind the bathroom door? These are always useful. Another suggestion would be an extra towel rail please for the 2nd person's towel to dry. One thing I would like to suggest to all hoteliers is different coloured towels for each person! Difficult to know whose is whose when they are all white. Just a thought .... Overall, a very satisfactory stay and an added bonus - right on the National Cycle Route. What a find!! Last time we stayed at Llangwair Manor. Beautiful grounds but no evening food and your breakfast was superior. Thank you very much!

Dissappointing

Rooms were in very poor repair and long overdue a refurb. They were actually reasonably clean but wear and tear and lack of maintenance just made them look grubby and rundown.
Service in the bar and dining room was slow and inattentive and while two of the staff were friendly enough, one individual was offhand and gave the impression we were a nuisance to her.
The ladies cooking and serving breakfast were far more professional and friendly.
Overall the food was OK but some the sides really let it down.
Very limited selection of drinks on tap.

Damp and mouldy!

Staff very nice. Food good. The room was very bad! It was damp and mouldy and the damp smell was overpowering. In the morning the inside of the window was soaking wet. We then understood why the empty room doors and windows were left open.

We paid for three nights but checked out after only one. Nobody was available to complain to so we just handed the key to the breakfast lady and left.

This is not a room at a village inn. It’s a room in a flat roofed annex that smells of damp and mould. The worst room we have ever stayed in!

Luckily we found a nice alternative a few miles down the road. It meant we had to pay extra for for another two nights but it was worth it. We felt the damp conditions could have impacted on our health had we stayed longer in the Salutation Inn.

We wouldn’t stay here again.

The friendliness of the staff and the obvious care put into the gardens, plus reasonable food, were all positives. I think I may have drawn the short straw with my room which felt damp despite it being well aired. A towel heater had thoughtfully been left on in the bathroom, in June. There was mould spots on the shower curtain and the bath wobbled when standing under the shower! But I slept well, enjoyed the quiet location and views to trees and low hills from my bedroom window.
I enjoyed eating in a bar area where visitors and locals clearly all felt this was a place that welcomed them.
