A VERY WELL KNOWN AND SUCCESSFUL HOTEL IN A BUSY RESORT WITHIN THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN SECTION OF THE PEMBROKESHIRE COAST NATIONAL PARK
GENERAL
Merlewood Hotel is on the elevated south side of the village centre overlooking Saundersfoot Bay, within the Pembrokeshire National Parks. It has been in the same family ownership for well over 50 years. The history of the Merlewood goes back to the 1800s, when Bill Frost & his wife lived there. He was an inventor, and was the first to fly his Frost Airship Glider, he flew from the garage at the Merlewood 500m crashing into the trees at the bottom of the garden on 24th September 1896! ! Although not credited for the accolade of the first flight, it went to the Wright brothers 8 years later. Unfortunately, Bill Frost died a poor man.

The Hotel is profitable IN IT OWN RIGHT. There is further potential of opening throughout the year, creating a Restaurant and Weddings Venue with fabulous views. The hotel has onsite parking which is most valuable to guests & visitors.
Subject to consent, there may be additional development possibilities on the lower lawn, which could make two luxury spacious residential properties with sea views.
Planning Consent has been granted by PCNPA to convert part of the Hotel into six self-catering Apartments - Ref: NP/17/0678/FUL. Three of the Apartments will be on the Ground Floor and three on the First Floor. No extension is required. As well as the sandy beach and picturesque harbour, Saundersfoot has a range of shops, restaurants and pubs etc, and sits alongside the 186 mile coastal path. A comprehensive phased redevelopment of the harbour area has commenced. This will involve additional commercial units and marina etc.. This will further enhance Saundersfoot. Interested parties must make their own enquiries. The larger resort of Tenby is about THREE miles.
A viewing would be highly recommended to appreciate the position of the hotel, and its potential.
