The location is within walking distance of most of Saundersfoot, though guests will need a car to get to Tenby. Contemporary rooms are a good size, with bathrooms that have large bathtubs and separate showers. There is a full-service spa with many services (though the infinity pool is pretty small) and a well-reviewed restaurant overlooking the water. For a more affordable stay, consider the Heywood Spa Hotel, though rooms aren't as modern and it's not along the water.

Scene
A mix of bland and charming nautical decor
This four-pearl property is best suited to adults looking for a place to relax. The waterfront location and fact that children under 16 aren't allowed in the spa create a peaceful atmosphere that attracts mostly older couples. Some spaces of the property aren't very impressive, including the facade with light gray walls and dark grey roofing that has several dormers jutting out, as well as the small lobby outfitted in mostly beige or brown. However, the rooms and restaurant have an attractive nautical theme, featuring pieces of driftwood, ocean-themed artwork, and throw pillows with lighthouse motifs. The real standout, however, are the widespread views of Saundersfoot Bay, particularly from the outdoor terrace with wooden tables and chairs and infinity pool at the spa.
Location
Most of the town is within walking distance
St Brides Spa Hotel is located in the town of Saundersfoot in southwest Wales, overlooking the Saundersfoot Harbor.

The Reptile Experience, a hands-on interactive reptile education center, is a two-minute walk away. Sea Taxi, an amphibious sightseeing tour that lets patrons visit the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park by sea, is a five-minute walk away. Chobbles Sweet Shoppe (a six-minute walk) and Pembrokeshire Brewing Company (a nine-minute walk) are close by for foodies.

Rooms
Splurge on a sea view room
The St Brides Spa Hotel has 46 rooms, 20 that have a sea view and balcony. The sea view rooms are definitely worth paying a little extra, as the views over the harbor are stunning. Rooms are all decorated in varying shades of grey and beige, with touches of dark blue and blonde wood to complete the nautical theme. The art is all ocean-themed, and decorate objects such as fish, birds, or vases filled with pebbles add homey touches. All rooms have large flat-screen TVs with DVD players, free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, tea- and coffee-making facilities, safes, and irons and ironing boards. Beige bathrooms are generally quite large and feature walk-in showers and separate bathtubs. Hairdryers, bathrobes, and slippers are provided, plus the Voya toiletries are whimsically placed on a seashell. Six apartments are also available, which have living areas and fully equipped kitchens.
