Run by Mark and Debbie , this lovely little guest house is definitely recommended. Rooms was spacious and clean, breakfast was fantastic and the hosts.a real pleasure. It has its own parking which is a bit of a tight squeeze. The town of Tenby is less than 5 minutes away. I'm highly recommended

Mark & Debbie are the perfect hosts. When we arrived, Mark was more than happy to help take our bags upstairs for us and was very helpful in explaining breakfast etc. Coffee & tea are available in the room and they supply a small thermos of milk and a tabletop fridge as well. Breakfast was divine - Mark knows how to create a perfect meal and his Eggs Benedict was right up there for me in one of the very best I’ve had. Parking is off street in a private lot which worked out well. The room (#3) was exactly what we needed and the best was super comfortable. My only complaint was having to leave.

My partner and I stayed here for two nights and it was an absolute pleasure. Mark and Deb are wonderful hosts and couldn't do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Breakfast is first class and the place is lovely. We'll definitely be visiting again.

We had the most amazing time at the Sleepy Puffin and will definitely be going back. Only a short walk to Tenby with all its amenities, and private parking which was a great bonus. Our hosts were lovely, warm, friendly and chatty and gave us a great room with a garden view and a very comfortable bed. Breakfasts were 'out of this world' with a great variety of things to choose from. I loved the pancakes with Maple Syrup and fresh fruit. My partner particularly liked the sausages, which were local. The sign of a good holiday is when you wish you weren't leaving, and that is certainly how we felt. Well done, the Sleepy Puffin.

I was lucky enough to stay at the Sleepy Puffin Guest House last week and if you’re looking for a place to stay in Tenby, this is it. The hosts are possibly the nicest and most welcoming people I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet and any time I’m coming back to Tenby, this is exactly where I will stay. Nothing was too much trouble and their breakfasts are absolutely amazing. They went out of their way to make sure that my gluten-free friend was well looked after and she loved her breakfasts while we were there. Thank you for looking after us so well and I look forward to coming back and seeing you again.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming bed and breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by the owners, who went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect. The room we stayed in was simply lovely—beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. It felt like a home away from home, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The food was another highlight of our stay. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that was not only fresh and beautifully presented but also catered to our dietary preferences. It was the perfect way to start the day. Overall, this bed and breakfast exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of the cozy room, the excellent food, and the welcoming hosts made our stay truly memorable. We can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Mark and Deb made you feel welcome from the off, and were very helpful thankfully, those 2 flights of stairs were a doozy. Breakfast was superb a wide range of fresh fruit with various yogurts, cereals, croissants etc, and a varied menu for main breakfast, what Mark did with his scrambled eggs I don't know but were delicious. Secure parking was available about 50 yards away, and central Tenby itself just over a 5 minute walk away, ideally situated. Would definitely go back if visiting Tenby again!!.
