    We had a fantastic stay at James John Hamilton House And Backpacker in Fishguard. The central location made it easy for us to explore the beautiful Coast Path. The guesthouse was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a spacious living room and reliable Wifi. The staff were extremely supportive and even offered transfers to and from the railway station. We appreciated having a supermarket, pub, and restaurants nearby, as well as easy access to public transport. I highly recommend this delightful guesthouse for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

    We got great value for our money at James John Hamilton House. The room was incredibly comfortable and cozy, more than any other hotel I've stayed in. The location was perfect, with friendly locals and a charming town to explore. The staff treated us like family, especially the owner Steve who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

    The breakfast could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

    The hostel had clean and comfortable rooms, with little touches that made it a great base for hiking the Pembrokeshire coast. John, the host, was knowledgeable about the area and provided helpful information on the history, nature. The breakfast provided was plentiful and the hot tub was a fantastic bonus after a long day of walking. a great stay and highly recommended.

    Felt totally relaxed, nothing was too much trouble.

    We, as young holiday goers, absolutely loved our stay at this place! the warm and cosy atmosphere made us feel right at home. the owner, Stephen, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, meeting all our requirements and more. the converted school house had a unique charm with carefully positioned original artworks. Stephen's gourmet meals were an added bonus. the location was perfect, with convenient parking, nice pubs, and a stunning coastline. Definitely coming back!

    We felt nothing but happy during our entire stay. No complaints at all!

    The accommodation at James John Hamilton House And Backpacker was perfect and welcoming. Our room was clean and cozy, providing much-needed warmth after a rainy day at the theme park. The host was amazing, allowing us to check in a little earlier than planned. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was great. We will definitely be coming back!

    Although there were some minor drawbacks, such as noise transfer through the walls and floors, it did not greatly impact our stay. We recommend requesting a room in a different part of the house if you are a light sleeper.

    Steve, the host, was extremely accommodating and friendly, going out of his way to be there for our late ferry arrival. The property itself was beautiful and had everything we needed, including comfortable beds and an excellent shower. One standout feature was the wide range of breakfast options, including Lapsang Souchong tea, which I had never encountered anywhere else. The central location was perfect, with easy access to the Coast Path and nearby amenities. The staff were supportive and helpful, and the overall experience was pleasant and comfortable.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    My 5-night stay at James John Hamilton House was warm and cosy. The lounge area was spacious and a great place to meet others. The free breakfast was an unexpected bonus. The owner, Steve, was friendly and spent time talking about the town's history. The house was relaxing and I had it to myself. The nearby bookshop, Seaways, was amazing. The marketplace in the townhall on Christmas Eve was a wonderful experience. The town's friendly atmosphere made me want to visit again.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Comfortable beds and spacious ensuite bathroom. Friendly and helpful host who offered us tea and coffee upon arrival.- Great location, a short walk from the town and close to the ferry terminal.

    No parking space available, but there is cheap pay and park parking nearby. No study table in the room, which can be inconvenient for those who need to work or study during their stay.
