"All in all it was a bit of a disaster! We walked down on Monday (google said it was open, but it wasn’t , returned tonight. Front door difficult to open (wooden+probably swollen from the wet Welsh rain , walked in, not greeted by the staff at all. Ordered a drink and asked for some menus, asked if we had booked (we hadn’t , asked what time we wanted to order (needed to be written in the diary as the kitchen ‘won’t be able to cope’, written in for 1730, wanted to sit outside (had a toddler , bit of attitude from the staff saying if we wanted to sit outside we needed to pay when we ordered (not an issue but could have phrased it slightly better (I suspect they had had problems with folk leaving without paying if sat outside.. . We sat outside in a terrace area so our kid could run around and not run into the carpark etc, looked at the menus, wanted to go back in and order but we were locked on the terrace! Spent a good 5 minutes knocking on the glass to try and attract someone’s attention to open the door, another customer oozed through a gap to go round the front to let us in. Mentioned to restaurant staff we were locked out to be told told ‘it’s a fire door’ and it needs to be shut Not sure how you can have a terrace off of a fire door?? Given we were locked out, we decided to sit inside. Asked for a highchair ‘up to 36 months’ but did not fit our 20 month old kid got pretty distressed so I took him back outside, meanwhile the restaurant staff came back to say what I wanted to order ‘slow cooked beef chilli’ wouldn’t be ready for another hour. Food arrived, toddler wouldn’t entertain his meal (doesn’t mean it was inedible! my burger was dry and came in 6 broken bits, and my chips were under cooked. Also ordered some cheesy garlic bread which was tasteless and not eaten Made a speedy exit (after paying! as my toddler was playing up, only to go to the toilet and both ladies loos had no loo roll. Mentioned it to the staff, no apology From the outside the building looks like it has a nice après beach vibe Such a shame as it has huge potential but it was all round disappointing!"

"they can't blame this place. I went through for a 1 overnight stay, only to visit the place that shares my name, with two friends. we were warmly welcomed. we were accompanied to our room and the facilities shown. a table was reserved for us, on request, for dinner. we had the chance to sit back and watch the personal. the crew worked as a team and worked well together. this led to an exceptional, fast service. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner for breakfast the next morning. what a bright bubbly and friendly lady she is. it's really a pity that I don't spend time here anymore. When you have a beer in the evening and talk to the staff, you get the feeling that this crew consists of real, to the people of the earth. I had a great chat with them about the local and other stackpoles that might have passed through. a really big baptism of people who have met the kind of people I loved on the other side of the bar and a pint or two with shared. the facilities were exceptional. tidy, clean and modern. the shower was brilliant, immediately hot water and lots of space. the extraordinary room was with cherry to drink in their free time and some other small nibbles as well. the restaurant and the pub had all the characteristics they would expect from a pub of this age. it was only a joy to eat at such a place. the toilets, a common and common problem on many other sites, were immaculate. Given how busy this place was on this special evening, it is a certificate for the occupations professionalism and proud of its location. I would like to make it clear that this last piece of my review is not the case of leaving the best until last. the experience as a whole is something I will remember for the rest of my life. eating. for a start I chose the salmon with a root of beet.” that was devine. the salmon was fresh and tender, he melted in my mouth. for a pornstar I chose the rib auge, rarely cooked. as a grilled steak, I was rewarded with perfection. only the outer edge had this crispy, grilled taste, while the inner was a perfect pink, but not translucent. it was so incredibly tender. my friends also had steaks. I imagine someone on the outside, we are Australian with a good time, the sudden volume drop would have been noticed as we were repaired on exactly how well the meal we consumed. we have washed this with a bottle of Argentinian malbec, only someone who knows exactly how to connect a steak to a wein would serve such a wein on their menu. just heaven! some time later I managed to musculate the space to have dessert. a simple yet tasty (what we call in Australia) sticky date pudding. the three of us left stackpole inn this morning and have often spoken of our most positive experience. the only negatiw to come back, we have to travel 16500ks. please open them in Australia . Many thanks to the crew for an unforgettable experience."
