A Fine Dining Pit Stop at Trefloyne Hall
Anna and I have been enjoying the occasional fine-dining experience over the years. Michelin starred delights at Ynyshir Hall, a romantic weekend at Palé Hall and a family meet up at The Great House in Bridgend. We’ve decided I need some support from Anna to continue with my Coast Path Run so thought it would be a good idea to make a weekend of and combine my run with a night at another fine dining establishment.
Trefloyne Manor
There were a number of places to choose from in the Tenby area but we plumped for Trefloyne Manor. We didn’t want anywhere too expensive but we also wanted somewhere a little nicer than your average. It looked perfect, and indeed it was. Booking was easy, as was reserving a table for dinner. They were therefore expecting us when we arrived. I’d been running along the coast path all day so was looking forward to chilling before dinner. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our room.
The staff seemed lovely and the room was plenty large enough and very comfortable. Time for a soak in the bath and a little snooze before diner. I think a hot bath was a mistake. It’s the first I’ve had since my heart attack and it didn’t do me much good! Warmish showers for me from now on I think!
The hotel is part of a golf course so is set in extensive grounds. We didn’t pick a room with a view but we could still see a little of the golf course from where we were.
Dinner
Dinner was delicious too. We had a drink in the bar and were then shown to our table. The service was excellent and the food was just right. The menu was fairly varied. Anna had a really nice soup to start, whereas I had a mushroom risotto. We then both had the duck for our main course. The duck bon bon in panko breadcrumbs was especially nice. I had sticky toffee pudding for dessert whereas Anna had cheesecake. There was a little mix up over what type of cheesecake it was but they soon fixed it for us and were particularly apologetic so it wasn’t an issue.
After dinner we were pretty tired having had a long day. It was therefore off to bed for a comfortable nights sleep before a decent breakfast and then off to the coast path again. We’ll be down this way again soon hopefully so we may even return for another night. Although if we find somewhere a little further west that looks equally as nice we might try that instead.
All in all a perfect place for the night and it made the whole weekend a little more luxurious.
