A cheap self catering holiday in Tenby doesn't have to mean cooking every meal in a rented kitchen. Many budget hotels here offer the same flexibility with in-room tea and coffee making facilities, plus a hearty breakfast to start your day. These hotels are clustered around North Beach, South Beach, and the town centre, putting the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and Tenby's harbour within easy walking distance. Expect free WiFi, private bathrooms, and often sea views, all at prices that fit a tight budget. For the best value, book ahead during summer months and check if parking is included, as some hotels charge a daily fee.
