Equal parts history and heaven
The Gwynne House, with its history of writers inspired to create there, was just magical. It's difficult traveling with nine people, but the Gwynne House was just perfect as our Tenby home base. Stunning architecture and spectacular harbor views, large gathering area and dining room for group meals and activities, but also plenty of rooms to retire to for some solo time. We stayed one week and were heartbroken to leave. Property manager was very communicative and helpful, too. We'll be thinking of Gwynne House for a long long long time!

Great stay
Lovely house - fabulous location and photos live up to how it looks in reality. We were just a gathering of 5 adults, so spread out through the house and found it very comfortable and well stocked. If you are planning to visit Tenby this is a perfect location. Close to the hustle and bustle of main street ( just minutes away) but that quiet beautiful view to escape from it all
