Escape to Paradise: Cottage Court Hotel, Tenby Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a review that's less Michelin star and more… well, let’s just say it’s going to be delightfully chaotic. We need to talk about [Hotel Name Here] - which, by the way, I'm strategically not naming yet because I'm still figuring out whether I loved it or wanted to duct-tape myself to the nearest departing flight.
(SEO & Metadata Time - Hold Your Horses! We'll Circle Back)
Before the actual review, let me briefly mention how important it is for the hotel to be SEO-friendly. You know, keywords are your friend! So imagine me whispering intensely into the void right now: Hotel Name, Accessibility, Wheelchair Access, Internet, Wi-Fi, Spa, Pool with a View, Restaurants, Safety, Cleanliness. The hotel needs this stuff! Got it? Good. Now, on with the madness!
(The Actual Review: A Stream of Consciousness, Prepare to Jump!)
Right, so [Hotel Name Here]. It looked stunning online. Like, Instagram-worthy stunning. All sleek lines and promises of paradise. My expectations? Soaring higher than those ridiculous infinity pools you see on all the ads. My actual experience? Let’s just say it was more of a scenic helicopter crash landing into a lukewarm paddling pool filled with slightly damp ambition.
Accessibility: The Good, the Bad, and the Unclear
Okay, let’s start with the basics because, as someone who's becoming increasingly aware of my own… ahem… limitations, accessibility is HUGE. They said wheelchair accessible. And, to be fair, the lobby was relatively easy to navigate. But getting from the lobby to, say, the pool? Hoo boy. There were ramps! Yay! But they were like, super steep, and the cobblestones felt like a medieval torture device designed for ankles. (Someone REALLY needs to check that surface grading!) Now, they did have an elevator, thank god, but getting to the elevator from the entrance was a little… tricky. It felt like a scavenger hunt with questionable prizes.
On-site Restaurants/Lounges & Dining/Drinking/Snacking (Prepare Thy Stomach!)
The restaurants… Well, let’s begin with the Asian breakfast . It was an experience. I'm not sure if it was authentic, but the tiny, questionable sausages (I’m pretty sure they were sentient) and suspiciously bright orange juice definitely kept things… interesting. The breakfast buffet was a battlefield. People were vicious around the pastries. Seriously. Sharks. The Asian Cuisine in restaurant , which I did end up trying for dinner one night, was… passable. The sushi was, maybe, from a different time zone but was enjoyable. The coffee/tea in the restaurant was good, very good. I also liked that I had the choice to opt for a buffet or a la carte in the restaurant.
I tried the poolside bar, hoping for some escapism, but the drinks were overpriced and, frankly, a bit weak. The happy hour was… well, let’s just say it was happy in theory. My poolside bar order: margarita. I was sitting by the pool when it got delivered, very excited. One sip in: meh. One more: meh. A third… I asked if they were serving water with a lime! C'est la vie.
Internet & Wi-Fi: Connected or Completely Alone?
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! …Mostly. On the Internet access - LAN, I gave up trying to connect. Honestly, I think I developed wrinkles just looking at the wires. It made me miss dial-up. I didn't even know I liked dial-up. The actual Wi-Fi worked… sometimes. Sometimes it was lightning fast. Sometimes it was as slow as a sloth on sedatives. My emotions? A rollercoaster. Mostly frustration.
Things to do, Ways to Relax & Spa-tacular or Spa-fuc
Alright, let’s talk wellness because that was a BIG selling point. The Spa promised… well, everything. Body scrubs, body wraps, the whole shebang. I had a massage. (They weren’t giving you a complimentary Foot bath at the end). It was… okay. Nothing to write home about. My masseuse, bless her heart, seemed a little… distracted. I was pretty sure she was thinking about her grocery list. The Spa/sauna was nice, steamroom not bad. The pool with a view was what I was waiting for. It was a gorgeous, outdoor swimming pool.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did Anyone Clean This Place?
Okay, the Daily disinfection in common areas was reassuring. The Hand sanitizer was everywhere, even though I was still a little confused. The Hygiene certification was there. Rooms sanitized between stays yes. And the staff trained in safety protocol! Yippee!
Services and Conveniences: Elevators and Elevators
Air conditioning in public area - appreciated. Concierge - helpful-ish. Dry cleaning – needed, eventually used. Elevator – essential! (See: Accessibility). Doorman - made me feel fancy, sometimes. Daily housekeeping - my room survived.
For the Kids: If You're Traveling With Minis
Alright, as an adult, I don't need Babysitting services. They had Kids facilities! Good for them! There was a family/child friendly element. But… I mainly saw adults.
Available in All Rooms & Getting Around: Where's My Castle?
The rooms! Sigh. The Bathroom phone was an amusing throwback. I had Free bottled water always, which was good. The Air conditioning worked (yay!). The Balcony was a nice feature, letting me pretend I was a world-class adventurer checking out the surrounding countryside, except I was just checking out the parking lot. The bed was comfortable, at least. The Alarm clock – modern. The Wake-up service – spot on.
Getting Around: Airport Transfer, Valet Parking, and a Prayer
Airport transfer was reliable. Car park [on-site] was a free space! (A miracle). Valet parking if you wanted a little luxury. Taxi service available.
The Verdict? (Prepare for the Emotional Rollercoaster)
Honestly? [Hotel Name Here] was a mixed bag. A lot of potential, a few dazzling moments, and a whole heap of "meh." It felt like a place that wanted to be amazing, but was held back by a few too many… quirks. Was it terrible? No. Would I stay again? Hmmm… maybe. If they fix the accessibility, train the waitstaff more, and maybe add a little more pizzazz to the happy hour, then yeah. But for now? It's a solid… "could do better."
(SEO ROUND 2 - The Wrap-Up)

Okay, buckle up, Buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is a chronicle, a testament, a slightly-too-honest love letter to the Cottage Court Hotel in Tenby, UK. Prepare for a rollercoaster. My sanity's hanging by a thread, but hey, that's travel, right?
The Chaotic Chronicle of Cottage Court & Coastal Capers (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Seaweed)
Day 1: Arriving… and Immediately Realizing I Packed the Wrong Shoes
- 14:00: Arrive at Cottage Court. Oh. My. God. The pictures online? They lied. Gloriously. The real thing is even more charming. The cobblestones practically glow in the afternoon sun! (I should probably find some decent walking shoes, because my sparkly espadrilles were a terrible choice).
- Emotional Reaction: Utterly charmed. Smitten, even. This place has MAJOR "cozy grandma's house that serves gin and tonics" energy, which is precisely what I needed. The staff? Lovely, genuine smiles. Sold.
- Quirky Observation: The hotel cat (if there is one, I haven’t seen it yet) probably runs this place, judging by the low-key, utterly delightful vibes.
- 15:00: Check-in. The room! (Okay, I booked the "cosy double" – which, in reality, is more of a "snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug" double). Tiny, but perfect. With a view of… gasp… the sea!
- Minor Category: Room Assessment: Clean, well-appointed, but the bathroom faucet, bless its soul, is a bit too enthusiastic about water pressure. Prepare for a minor flooding event. And for the love of all that is holy, pack a plunger. Just in case.
- 16:00: Wandering. Exploring the town. Tenby is actually ridiculously picturesque. The pastel-colored houses clinging to the cliffs? The harbor, teeming with boats? Forget it. I’m already plotting my escape here forever.
- Imperfection: Got hopelessly lost trying to find the promised "beachfront pub". Ended up wandering down an alley smelling strongly of fish and chip grease. (Note to self: invest in a better map-reading app or, you know, just ask a local.)
- 18:00: Pre-dinner G&T at the hotel bar. This is when you realize everything is exactly where it should be. Perfect gin, good company, and that feeling of "I'm absolutely where I need to be."
- 19:30: Dinner at a local seafood restaurant. It was called "The Salt Cellar" – which is fitting, because the salt spray from the sea will be everywhere. (And that’s fine! Because the fish was delicious!).
Day 2: Sea, Sand, and Existential Dread (Mostly in a Good Way)
- 08:00: Breakfast – the Full Welsh. This will either be your salvation or your downfall. I vote salvation. The sausages! The black pudding! (Don’t ask, just try it).
- Rambling: Okay, look, breakfast is vital. And this breakfast? Amazing. Makes you feel like you can conquer the world, or at least, the next few hours of sightseeing. This is where the hotel hits its stride - a proper Welsh breakfast served with a smile is the best start to your day.
- 09:30: Beach time! South Beach, to be exact. The sand is so fine, it's practically silk. Weather is perfect, bright blue skies, fluffy clouds, the works.
- Doubling Down on Beach Experience: Spent about three hours just… being. Watching the waves, the families laughing, the dogs chasing seagulls. It's bliss. Absolute, unadulterated bliss. My worries evaporated, and I realised that the sea is the cure for pretty much every problem. Maybe I'll just move here and become a professional beach comber.
- Emotional Reaction: Overwhelmed. In the best way. That feeling of pure, unfettered freedom. It’s a cliché, I know, but the sea truly does have a way of washing away the everyday.
- 13:00: Lunch – Fish and chips (again!). There's no way to escape the lure of the fish and chip shop just off the beach. This time, I got the chips with some extra vinegar, and they were perfect.
- Opinionated Language: I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to vinegar. I’m not ashamed.
- 14:30: Walk along the coast path. Brilliant views. Some slightly precarious moments (hello, vertigo), but the views made it all worthwhile. Nearly got blown into the sea by a sudden gust of wind.
- Messy Structure: Still slightly damp.
- 17:00: Back to the hotel. A nap is in order. Beach days are exhausting, in the best way possible.
- 19:00: Dinner. Exploring more restaurants.
- 21:00: Stumbling back to the hotel, feeling slightly tipsy, and incredibly content.
Day 3: Castle, Coast, and the Sad Departure
09:00: Final breakfast. The inevitable sadness of departure is starting to creep in.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Actually, I'm starting to feel a bit morose. I really don't want to leave. Maybe I can fake a medical emergency to extend my stay. (Probably not.)
10:00: Exploring Tenby Castle – I'd wanted to go up there for days and now I can. The views, again, are spectacular.
11:30: Souvenir shopping.
- Quirky Observation: Apparently, everything in Tenby can be "fish and chip" flavour.
13:00: A final G&T at the hotel bar. Trying to savor every last drop of it.
14:00: Check out. The inevitable goodbye, and the promise to come back next year.
- Emotional Reaction: A profound feeling of melancholy, mixed with the absolute knowledge that I’ll return. Cottage Court, you weird, wonderful place, I'll see you again soon.
15:00: Departure, and the long journey home.
Postscript:
The Cottage Court Hotel in Tenby is a gem. It is absolutely charming. It's not perfect, but that's exactly what makes it perfect. Pack a good book, wear your walking shoes, and embrace the mess. You'll have the best time of your life. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to start planning my return. Wish me luck.
