About

Hotel History

When we first purchased the hotel back in March 2000 it was in desperate need of some tender loving care. The potential was obvious with its magnificent location and outlook but how to transform it into a modern day hotel with all the amenities expected by sophisticated travellers was not! With much physical effort, a great deal of planning and many sleepless nights we slowly transformed each area as time and finances would allow. Today we feel the hotel is able to offer guests some of the best quality accommodation to be found anywhere in Wales. However, we are very aware that quality surroundings are not enough and that they must be accompanied by an exceptional standard of service. We are constantly striving for this and welcome all forms of constructive feedback. While you are our guests, we trust you will have a restful and enjoyable stay and that the relaxed atmosphere is conducive to this.

Hotel Background

On 17th November 1893 Sir Charles Phillips of the Picton Castle Estate, who owned the ground the hotel currently stands on, granted a lease for the site and a permit to build. At the turn of the last century St Brides House, known locally as ‘The White House’, stood on this site and was then operated as a farm.

A gentleman by the name of Norman Marples bought the farm and decided it would be a great location for a hotel. He started building the hotel in 1931 incorporating the original farm house. We discovered its walls whilst undergoing renovations; they were three feet thick, dry and made up of pebbles and random stones. These are known as clomb walls and were a common way of building in Pembrokeshire.

The hotel was the only purpose built hotel in Saundersfoot to be constructed in the 20th century. When the hotel opened it was called ‘The Carrington’. However, in 1932 Mr Marples had a disagreement with his then business partner Miss DeVine. She took the name with her to a hotel in Tenby and he changed the name to ‘St Brides’ and so it has remained.

Over the years St Brides, like many other hotels, has adapted to the changing demands made upon it by ever more discerning guests. An old brochure, which was undated, described the hotel as having 80 rooms with 20 of them being in two annexes. It boasts hot and cold water in every room,central heating and electric lighting. Interestingly the hotel was not licensed but wines and spirits could be ‘procured at short notice’. However, petrol and oil pumps were on the premises for guest use.

The charges in the brochure were as follows:

o Double rooms from: 12 Shillings = 60p
o Singles from: 7 Shillings and 6d = 37½p
o Breakfast: 3 Shillings = 15p
o Dinner: 6 Shillings = 30p
o Baths: 1 Shilling = 5p
o A fire lit in your room: 2 Shillings and 6d = 12½p
o A fire for the whole day: 4 Shillings = 20p

The hotel appeared in Great Western Railway’s Holiday Haunts magazine in 1938. Here it is described as having 120 rooms with 30 of them being in three annexes. A recent addition was a large glass lounge ballroom. Also mentioned was a chalet in the grounds where modern articles suitable for presents could be purchased. In the spring of 1941 the Admiralty requisitioned the hotel for the duration of the Second World War and used it as a school of signalling for the Royal Marines. The school produced the communication personnel for the Corps who were later to serve in the Royal Marine Commandos and other special royal marine field forces. These brave personnel went aboard ships of the fleet and into the Royal Naval Support and Assault squadrons. Indeed,during our refurbishment programme, we discovered training documents hidden under the floorboards along with some hair tonic and other personal items left behind by the trainees.

After the declaration of VJ day the Royal Marines vacated the property and St Brides went back to operating as a hotel. By 1973 the hotel was described as having 55 rooms with no mention of annexes, but with 22 of those rooms having their own bathroom. Many of the rooms had televisions though some were still black and white. There was also a television lounge, games room and swimming pool.

Rates had increased since the last brochure to as follows:

o Low season Bed & Breakfast per person: £2.75 - £4.35
o High season Bed & Breakfast per person:£3.50 - £6.00
o Dinner was from: £1.75
o Lunch: £1.35
o Early morning tea: 16p

Today we are still evolving to meet our business and leisure guests’ expectations. Keeping up with current technology and the ever changing leisure market are among our greatest challenges.

Saundersfoot Harbour

The harbour in Saundersfoot was first built in 1829 and it transformed the small fishing village into a thriving industrial port exporting high quality anthracite by sea. Queen Victoria decreed that only coal from Saundersfoot should be used to power the first royal steam yacht because it gave intense heat yet produced very little smoke. Originally, there were many small, privately owned pits and the coal was transported by horse and cart to Coppet Hall, Swallow Tree and Wisemans Bridge where it was transferred to boats which were grounded on the beaches at a low tide. When fully laden the boats would sail off when they were floated by the next high tide.

The completion of the harbour and the opening of larger and deeper pits providing more coal, saw the construction of rail links bringing coal from outlying areas of Begelly, Thomas Chapel and more local Bonvilles Court, as well as Stepaside and Wisemans Bridge.In 1870 the horses that had towed the ‘drams’ into which the coal was loaded were replaced by steam engines.

Many of the Road names relate to Saundersfoot’s industrial past. Incline Way reminds usof the system of moving coal drams downhill by means of steel trains operated from the winding house at the top of the incline. Westfield road was previously named Lower Cart Road and the Ridgeway was Upper Cart Road. Fan Road Gets its name from the fifteen foot fan which operated the ventilation system at Bonvilles Court Colliery until it’s closure in 1930.

The only other remains of the railway line are the tunnels along the coastline from Saundersfoot to Wisemans Bridge. It is a 6km (3.7mi) section on the ‘Miners Trail’ part of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path which follows the route of the old steam trains from local collieries to the harbour. Walkers using the trail pass through two tunnels on the former line. It is still possible to find “railway sleepers” (a wide flat stone with two holes) along the tracks.

Although the former industrial era of Saundersfoot has now passed, the harbour is still very much a working harbour and Saundersfoot Bay offers some of the finest sailing waters in Wales. The boating scene is always bustling with boat owners busy cleaning, painting, launching and sailing or racing their craft. Other waterborne activities include swimming and water sports and a wide variety of trips are offered such as deep sea and mackerel fishing, power boat rides and various bird, seal watching and pleasure excursions. All of which continues to provide a lively and colourful focal point for locals and visitors alike.

Artwork by Ian Lindsey Edwards

We love having visitors, even if they just pop in for a quick cup of coffee. A great way of spending an hour or so is to view the latest work of Ian Lindsey Edwards which extends throughout the hotel.

Ian Lindsey Edwards paints landscapes but they are not only about what nature looks like, they are often nearly abstracted beyond recognition and are as much about feelings as appearances.

In his work, as so often in the Romantic landscape tradition to which he belongs, these feelings are often associated with a particular place – principally the Kent landscape where he now lives as well as places in Pembrokeshire close to Saundersfoot.

Ian is particularly interested in the erosion by wind, rain and the sea of the coastal defences. He sees in this the symbol of transience of the human condition. He depicts the different weather conditions and times of day so that the paintings become symbols for the individual human soul plagued by conflicting emotions and thoughts. They are passionate, even angry pictures at times, full of conflict particularly where the sea meets the land.

The surfaces are made up in many layers stabilized in varnishes which are chiselled, scoured, hatched and pitted. At times the almost invisible landscape is rendered abstract through his chisel and sander and layers recreating the very textures of nature herself. The forms of these paintings are synonymous with their content and are explicit reminders of the natural origins of the painter’s materials.

Ian’s work is currently exhibited in the ground floor public areas of the hotel.
