The iconic Tŷ Hotel at Milford Waterfront has enjoyed a bumper first season since opening in April this year. Owned by the Port of Milford Haven and operated by The Celtic Collection (owners of the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport), the 100 bedroom hotel experienced a busy Easter holiday period which has kept on going throughout the summer exceeding expectations for occupancy levels and revenue.
Just a few weeks after opening its doors, the hotel secured a four-star grading from Visit Wales, being recognised for the impressive ‘buzz and vibe’ that had been created in such a short space of time and received particular praise to the dining experience at the Dulse restaurant.
Not only has Tŷ Hotel Milford Waterfront proved popular with visitors, the team has enjoyed a fantastic response from the local community who have been keen to see what they have to offer. Adrian Andrews, Hotel Manager, said “What has really pleased us is the number of people who have just popped in for a drink at Dulse bar to enjoy the wonderful location here at Milford Waterfront and the cocktails we have created have really gone down a storm! We have also been keen to immerse ourselves in the community and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed attending and supporting events like the Festival of Fire, the Round Table Beer Festival, Long Course Weekend and the Pembrokeshire County Show.”
Operators, The Celtic Collection, are enthusiastic to play their part in ensuring the whole county reaps the rewards of Pembrokeshire’s draw to visitors and have become strategic partners with Visit Pembrokeshire in order to establish the hotel as a key destination for tourists visiting West Wales.
Over the past few months the hotel has attracted the attention of some well-known faces with stays from radio DJ Scott Mills as well as Anthea Turner and Susan Calman who were filming the TV programme ‘Grand Week By The Sea’. Media interest has also been high with positive coverage in The Independent, The Guardian, The Times, The Sun and Metro, as well as featuring on BBC Wales Today.
The team are now looking forward to their first Christmas and the festive celebrations they’ll be putting on for their guests. For more details visit www.ty-hotels.com/destinations/milford-waterfront
