Saundersfoot Getaway: Stunning 2-Bedroom Apartment (Morien)!
Saundersfoot Getaway: Morien Apartment - A Whirlwind of Welsh Wonders (and a Few Wobbles!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this review of the Saundersfoot Getaway: Morien Apartment is gonna be a wild ride. Forget the pristine, perfectly-polished travelogue – this is gonna be raw, real, and riddled with my own brand of delightfully chaotic observations. So, pour yourself a cuppa (or maybe something stronger, because, well… life), and let's dive in headfirst.
Accessibility & the Pre-Arrival Jitters:
Okay, first things first. I’m not a wheelchair user, but I always appreciate a place that tries to be inclusive. Let's be honest, accessibility can be a minefield. The website mentioned “facilities for disabled guests”… good start, right? But then, like a rogue wave of anxiety, the details become murky. The apartment itself, I’m pretty sure, was on the ground floor, which is aces. But getting to the apartment? I had questions. Did the building have a ramp? Were the doors wide enough? This is where a little more specific information would have been gold. The joys of traveling with loved ones who have mobility limitations.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Pandemic Edition!
Look, let's address the elephant in the zoom call: We're living through a pandemic, right? And I’m a bit of a germaphobe. Seriously. So, the "Anti-viral cleaning products", "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and the "Hand sanitizer" – all those bullet points on the listing? They were MUSIC to my anxious little ears! (Even if it meant I had to wrestle my luggage through the "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items" after arriving to sanitize my own luggage) The little details? Chef's kiss It felt reassuring knowing they were, in theory, taking it seriously.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feast for the… Fickle?
The description mentioned a "Breakfast in room", and it was tempting. However, the promise of a "Vegetarian restaurant" nearby won me over (because, you know, the only thing better than a full English is a full English, and I am not a vegetarian) The "A la carte in restaurant" sounds classy, but I have a sneaking suspicion my wallet would be crying afterwards. The "Poolside bar" is a lovely dream, but the apartment didn't exactly have a pool, which just adds to the confusion.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Promises, Promises…
Okay, this is where things get… interesting. The list of activities and relaxation options was longer than a Welsh dragon’s tail! Body scrubs, wraps, a fitness center, a spa… it read like a luxury brochure. But here's the rub: this was an apartment. A self-catering apartment. Did it actually have a spa? Did it actually have a fitness center? NO! So, it was more of a "Here’s a list of things you could potentially do, assuming you leave the apartment and find… something." This is where the review gets a bit ranty. I mean, "Pool with view"? "Sauna"? "Steamroom"? Really? I’m fairly certain the view from the apartment was of a parked car, and a rather lonely looking bin.
Internet & Creature Comforts: Gotta Have My Wi-Fi!
"Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" YES! Thank the internet gods. Seriously, I'm basically a digital nomad, and a reliable Wi-Fi connection is as essential as oxygen. "Internet [LAN]"… okay, for the true tech nerds, I guess? I stuck with the Wi-Fi. The "Internet access – wireless" was fantastic. The other stuff? Not so much, though, I will admit that I did not utilize the "Internet access – LAN".
The Apartment Itself: Morien’s Embrace…
Alright, let’s talk about the apartment. The "Non-smoking rooms" were a definite plus. The "Air conditioning" (thank the lord!), "Coffee/tea maker" (essential!), and "Refrigerator" were all welcome additions. I particularly loved the "Extra long bed" - the only thing that could make these long days better!
The Good, the Bad, and the Slightly… Bizarre:
The Good: Extremely clean and organized. Great kitchen appliances. Comfortable beds. Perfect base to explore Saundersfoot & Pembrokeshire.
The Bad: The misleading list of "amenities." The parking situation was slightly… interesting at times, trying to navigate a car park.
The Slightly Bizarre: The sheer number of different types of towels supplied. I could have dried the entire Welsh coastline, if I wanted too!
Overall Verdict: Would I Return?
Yes! Despite its quirks, I could definitely imagine myself returning to the Morien Apartment. But next time, I'll probably pack a miniature spa kit (just in case). And maybe a map of the best local pubs… because, you know, research.

Okay, buckle up, Buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're off to Morien, that sweet little 2-bedroom apartment in Saundersfoot, UK. And trust me, between the seagulls and the questionable weather forecasts, this trip is bound to be a beautiful, messy disaster. Here's what might happen, though I'm betting a stray seagull will throw a wrench in things at some point…
Saundersfoot Shenanigans: A Diary of Potential Chaos
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and an Urgent Biscuit-Related Crisis
- 10:00 AM (ish): Arrive in Saundersfoot. The drive from wherever-the-heck-we're-coming-from (probably a stressed-out airport or a jam-packed train) always feels longer than it should. I'm already picturing the joy of finally collapsing on that sofa, though, so it's fueling me through.
- 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM: Locate Morien. Pray to the GPS gods because my sense of direction is about as sharp as a wet noodle. Unload the car. The sheer chaos of it all - bags spilling, one kid screaming about a lost stuffed animal, the dog sniffing everything. It’s perfection.
- 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM: Unpack… or, attempt to unpack. First, locate the tea/biscuit situation. My blood sugar is a fickle mistress, and skipping the biscuits is a recipe for disaster. I once forgot about a biscuit and ended up in a full-blown meltdown in a Tesco. Not pretty.
- 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch. Sandwiches made by yours truly, because eating out on day one is risky business. We'll need to explore shops later. I'm picturing a proper picnic on the beach - fingers and ears crossed the beach isn't rammed with tourists.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Explore Saundersfoot. Stroll along the beach. It’s gorgeous in photos, but my memories of beaches usually involve sand in places you really don’t want sand. Anyway, we're hitting the shops, getting the lay of the land. Maybe a cheeky ice cream if the sun is playing nice.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Morien Recon. Check out the apartment, make sure everything's as advertised (clean sheets, functioning telly, etc.). Then, the REALLY important part… the balcony! Can you hear the sea?
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. Easy-peasy. Pub grub or a takeaway? Or, potentially disastrous, an attempt at cooking in that kitchen! The latter would involve at least one forgotten ingredient, a burnt offering, and a lot of swearing. But hey, memories!
- 7:00 PM onwards: Chillax and collapse. Board games? A movie? More tea? Maybe even an early night… if I can escape from the tiny humans long enough.
Day 2: Coastlines, Castles (and Possibly Crying)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up feeling hopeful or maybe already exhausted, depending on how the night went.
- 10:00 AM -12:00 PM: A coastal walk. Walk the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, maybe? It promises views and fresh air, but it also probably involves hills, which is a personal hate. But I'll do it. We might even make it to the end!
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch! Again, maybe a picnic. Prepare, be practical, sandwich construction.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Pembroke Castle. Because who doesn’t love a castle? It’ll be majestic! History! Possibly a ghost or two? Okay I also might secretly love crying at history museums. Don't judge.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Ice cream? Or chocolate bar? I need it. It's been a long day already.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back to Morien. Relax and regroup. Maybe read a book (lol).
- 6:00 PM onwards: dinner! Dinner.
Day 3: The Deep End (and Possibly Regret)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up more tired than when I went to bed.
- 10:00 AM: The beach. The beach. THE BEACH! This is where it gets real. Sunscreen, towels, buckets, spades, and a prayer the tide is out.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch and more beach, or maybe a quick shop and find a proper restaurant.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: We are absolutely doing whatever the hell we want to! Whether that includes a boat trip, fossil hunting on the beach depending on the weather.
- 3:00 PM onwards: This is where the itinerary becomes even more "fluid" and "flexible" (a.k.a. a complete and utter mess). Dinner, maybe a walk to enjoy the sunset (or the very least, a nice view).
Day 4: Farewell, For Now (and a Shopping Frenzy)
- 9:00 AM: A slow start. One last lingering look at that view.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Souvenirs. Shopping. I must buy. Everything. Because no trip is complete without a ridiculous amount of seaside tat. I am not afraid to admit it.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Probably something incredibly delicious, because this is our last day. Embrace the carbs.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Final beach stroll. Maybe this time, actually enjoy the sea.
- 3:00 PM: Pack. Pretend to pack. Maybe a quick, deep breath, and then…
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Goodbye. Final moments of peace on that balcony, if the sea is too noisy, and then we pack it up.
- 6:00 PM onwards: The journey home, where I can happily reflect on the memories made whilst trying to resist the urge to plan the next adventure.
Important Notes: The Fine Print of Reality
- Weather: This itinerary is entirely weather-dependent. It could be glorious sunshine; it could be a deluge of biblical proportions (which, let's be honest, would probably be more relatable to me).
- Kids: They will change plans. They will whine. They will demand snacks at the most inconvenient times. This is just a given.
- Flexibility: This is key. This is a suggestion, a mere whisper of a plan. Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mishaps, and remember to breathe.
- Biscuits: Always. Keep. Biscuits. Close.
So there you have it. A potential roadmap to Saundersfoot chaos. Wish me luck, and may the biscuit gods be with me.

Okay, spill the tea: Is this "Stunning 2-Bedroom Apartment" actually... stunning? Or just "clean and functional"?
Right, let's be real. "Stunning" is a loaded word in the rental game. Look, Morien *is* nice. It's definitely got the wow factor when you first walk in – that light! The view from the balcony is pretty spectacular, especially with a morning cuppa. Remember my last "stunning" place? Looked like it was decorated by a particularly depressed beige crayon. This, thankfully, is not that. It *is* clean. But "stunning" in the sense of "I want to live here forever and become an interior design influencer"? Nah. More like, "Wow, this is much better than that budget hotel I stayed in last year and I can actually relax." The kitchen… well, it's functional, but don't expect to whip up a Michelin-starred meal. I *did* manage to burn the toast the first morning, which… didn't detract from the view, thankfully.
Is it really "Saundersfoot Getaway"? Like, is Saundersfoot itself actually worth getting away to? What about the beach?
Saundersfoot? Okay, here’s my brutally honest take: it's cute. Like, picture-postcard cute, the kind of cute that makes you want to buy a tiny seaside souvenir and post it on Instagram. The beach? Glorious! Absolutely glorious, when the sun's out. Building a sandcastle is practically mandatory. The water... well, it's the sea, so expect sea things. Sometimes it's calm and inviting; other times, it’s a bit rough. I saw a dog chasing a seagull once. Hilarious. But remember that rain? The entire town looks... well, damp. Still lovely, but definitely a "wellies and a waterproof" kind of vibe. Overall, it *is* a getaway. A good one. But don't expect Vegas. It's more… quintessential British seaside. And yes, I did enjoy the fish and chips, even though I got seagull-bombed. Twice. The chips were worth it.
Okay, so two bedrooms. What's the deal with the bedrooms? Size? Beds? Are they noisy?
Right, bedrooms. The good news: there *are* two of them. The bad news: one's a tad…cozier. The master is pretty decent, good size, comfortable double bed – I slept like a log. Now, the second bedroom? More of a snug. Perfect for kids, or a friend you don’t particularly want to get to know *too* well. The beds are comfy enough, though. Honestly, I'm more of a "fall-asleep-anywhere" type, so as long as there's a mattress, I'm good. Noise? Surprisingly quiet. I'm a light sleeper, and I didn't have issues. Apart from, you know, the seagulls again. Those blighters are early risers! And I totally forgot to bring earplugs. My fault, entirely.
Parking. The bane of my existence. What's the parking situation?
Parking. Ugh. Okay, so this is where it gets a little… tricky. There's off-street parking, which is a *massive* win. Makes unloading the car about a thousand times easier. However, depending on the time of year and how popular the place is, it *might* be a bit of a squeeze to find a spot. I got lucky. I arrived late in the day, and there was a space right outside, which was pure bliss after the drive. I'm not gonna lie, I felt like I'd *won*. But, honestly, it's a seaside town. Limited parking is part of the charm, right? Just… arrive early. Or be prepared to embrace the walk (and the possibly minor grumbling).
Wi-fi. Because, you know, the internet. Is there good wi-fi? Do I need to use my own data?
Wi-fi. Yes, there is Wi-fi. Praise be! And… it’s… adequate. You’re not going to be streaming 4K movies at warp speed. Seriously, you're at the beach, look. But it's enough to check emails, upload those all-important beach snaps to Instagram, and, crucially, keep the kids entertained on their tablets. Did I manage to get a video call with my family? Absolutely. Did it drop out mid-sentence, causing minor family drama? Possibly. Consider it a digital "rustic" experience. Pack a hot spot if you must have perfect connectivity for the whole time.
Kitchen essentials. My partner expects gourmet meals. What's actually in the kitchen?
Kitchen. Gourmet meals? Bless your heart. Okay, the kitchen… It has the basics. It *does* have a kettle, which is crucial. A toaster (see toast-related incident above). A microwave. A fridge. Utensils, plates, cups… you know, the stuff you need to survive. Don't expect a full arsenal of culinary delights. I wouldn't host a MasterChef competition in there. It's more like, "can I make a sandwich?" and "can I reheat some leftovers?" The pans... were a bit questionable, but functional. Honestly, the best meal I had at Morien? The fish and chips I got from the takeaway, eaten on the sofa with a view of the sea. Because sometimes, simplicity is key. And who wants to do dishes on vacation?
"Morien"! I'm calling out the name! Is it easy to find? What's the location like, really?
Morien... yes, it's the name. And thankfully, it's not hidden away at the bottom of a maze. The location is pretty good. You can actually *see* the sea from the balcony, which is a real bonus. Walking into Saundersfoot is easy, but expect a bit of a hill to get back! So maybe plan a gelato break on the way home. The local shops and restaurants are within walking distance, which is fantastic after a long day at the beach. You’re not stuck out in the sticks. It's all very convenient. But remember, it's a seaside town. Everything is a *little* bit crammed, parking being the main example.
The balcony! Tell me about the balcony! The *view*!
The balcony...Ah, the *balcony*. This is where Morien really shines. That view of the sea is the money-maker. Watching the sunrise with a coffee, or a sunset with a glass of wine, is pure bliss. I spent a ludicrous amount of time out there,Find Secret Hotel Deals
