We took over as new owners in October 2018. Our new chef has launched a new menu, but our beautiful, peaceful rural setting and the warm welcome you can expect have not changed. Our remote rural setting means our telephone connection is unreliable, so if you can't get through then please email us and we will call back as soon as we can. The Trewern Arms near Newport is a picturesque 16th century Inn with 10 recently refurbished ensuite bedrooms, situated on the banks of the River Nevern. It is the perfect base to explore the Pembrokeshire National Park. Whether its seeing Carningli & the beautiful Preseli Mountains or walking the breathtaking coastal path. The hotel boasts a lovely riverside restaurant, the Wheelhouse bar, and Twmpath function room, where you can find some of the best quality produce Pembrokeshire has to offer, we try to use local suppliers where possible some of which are based in Cardigan, Fishguard & Newport. Free WI-FI throughout for all our guests.

Great carvery and lovely sticky toffee pudding with Bart Ddu ice cream!
6 of us visited today. They made alterations to serving and everything was spotless and we were happy to eat there despite masses of other cancelling. Plenty of room to spread out and no risk of contamination from serving spoons etc. Well thought through. We will be back.
Thank you

We had a fantastic two days staying at The Trewern Arms. The welcome was so genuine and the level of customer service was second to none. So good in fact, that we expected it at a cafe we visited on the way home but were disappointed! Literally nothing was too much trouble and the fact that Angie loves what she does shines through.
We had breakfast both mornings (included in the price) and dinner both evenings. The food was lovely, fresh and tasty. The menu was being changed but we enjoyed everything we chose. There are also several vegan/vegetarian options. When we visited midweek, they were only open to hotel guests and it was very quiet. The advantage of this was that Angie had time to chat. Angie was also offering packed lunches but we don’t know how much, as we didn’t have one. Real ales are a specialty, which my partner loved! Angie knows her beers.
Everything was done to make you feel comfortable as far as covid was concerned, including your own table for the duration of your stay.
The rooms were spacious and very clean. The rooms are currently not serviced, which is very sensible in the current situation but you only need to ask if you want something. Everything was so well stocked that we didn’t need anything.
There is a walkie talkie system on the bar when you arrive, so that you can contact someone for check in, which is 3 pm. Even the walkie talkies are marked ‘sanitised’ or ‘not sanitised’.
I would suggest calling direct for a room.
We loved it so much we can’t wait to go back!

Thanks for reviewing us, and apologies for the late response - we took the opportuinty for a hiatus during lockdown so we could focus on renovating various parts of the building. The COVID rules have changed again, as is their nature, but hopefully we're still complying in a way which is discreet but safe while we now welcome back both guests and non residents into the building.

The Trewern Arms Hotel is a wonderful place to visit, tucked away off the beaten track but easy to find with a satnav. My wife & I arrived to a very friendly warm welcome, we were shown to our room which took our breath away, everything was spotlessly clean, clean towels, bedding and a tray full of complimentary items for us to use. the shower wet room was delightful with a rain shower head and again spotlessly clean.
We settled in and then ventured down to the bar in the hotel. the staff were very friendly and eager to please. the ambiance of the hotel was also very inviting and the people were all very friendly and good to have a chat with.
We had already booked for our meal in advance for the evening, which is a good thing to do as it is a popular restaurant.
We found out to our absolute delight why its so popular when we ordered our food from a very varied menu & specials board as well the staff were so helpful.
The food arrived and was very well presented and we were in heaven, the food was delicious to say the least. we had a restaurant meal every night, could not fault a thing.
Breakfast the next morning, which was included in the tariff was excellent with plenty of choice.
The Hotel is situated ideally, to be able to travel from to many places, which we did every day. we found plenty to do, and I'm sure anybody would too.
I would like to compliment Angie & James for our fantastic weekend stay, also their amazing staff, Jess, Tabby, Reece, Bethany, Ewan, Max, Daniel & anybody we may have missed for our wonderful stay.
WE WILL RETURN

Following the October firebreak, we spent 2 nights at The Trewern Arms and we couldn’t have felt safer. Each room had its own designated snug or nook, so we were able to relax outside of the room. Staff are friendly and attentive (and incredibly hard working) and the food, both in the evening and at breakfast, was very good. We had a large family room, which was comfortable and clean. Thank you for a much needed break.

We arrived at the Trewen Arms on a Sunday and were thrilled to find some local musicians playing for their own enjoyment in the bar so we sat and enjoyed a gin and tonic and a great pint of bitter with some folk music.
We stayed in room 6, overlooking the gardens and fields at the back. This room was lovely, spotlessly cleaned and well provisioned with a newly installed good quality shower room and lovely big fluffy towels.
Dinner was excellent. Good quality, locally sourced food with a twist. They clearly have a great chef and this was certainly better than "pub grub".
The river opposite the Trewen is really pretty. Idyllic scenery and lovely walks.
Breakfast was great. All of the usuals but also smoked salmon available. There was home made lava bread on the menu and as I had never tried it I asked if they would let me try some. It was mouth-wateringly delicious and I can't wait to have it again.
Service was great, from all of the staff. They were non-intrusive but willing to accommodate which was really good. The place was spotlessly clean.
It is a bit off the beaten track but worth the trip. We were booked here before a crossing to Ireland from Fishguard. At the last minute our crossing was changed to Pembroke Dock. I think, had we known, we would STILL have chosen to stay at The Trewen Arms because the drive down to Pembroke Dock wasn't too bad and the stay was perfect.

We arrived in Pembrokeshire a couple of hours prior to our meal, staying at a lovely local rental property which mentioned the Trewern Arms as an eatery option.
The Trewern arms had lots of character and was very appealing from the outside. The staff were welcoming and friendly, our issue was with the quality of the food and the price charged... The menu itself and how it was presented led us to believe we were having a step up from classic pub grub and we were looking forward to sampling what was on the menu as we were hungry after a long journey.Â
Main courses started at £15 upwards to give you an idea, although some options were available as a smaller plate. We went for Cod loin in crispy local ale panko batter, hand-cut chips and pea purée, which by chance, happened to be the cheapest at £15. What we received in our opinion was fast food, and fell well below what we expected...the fish and chips both appeared to be frozen produce... nothing handmade about them.
Having left and looked up reviews, there are some very good ones, many having stayed there. One review makes a similar point to ours from August 2021. Anyone can have an off day, and if capacity is an issue I would sooner be turned away.. but this did not appear to be the case.Â
Coincidentally, the picture on the website menu appears to be of the main course we ordered, however the appearance is significantly different to what we received. We also queried whether the portion we received was a small plate as that's how it appeared but apparently not - its done by weight we were told.. no issue if the quality had been as described.
We would normally raise our issues at the time, however after our long journey we didn't have the energy on this occasion. I should also add for balance that we had a starter of bread and olives at £7 and this was well presented although again very expensive for one. In summary, we left feeling we'd had a our leg lifted and were in and out in 45 minutes - sadly, all in all, not at all what we expected and cannot recommend after our first visit based on what we ordered.

Responded 18 Oct 2021
Hi Jonathan. Firstly, thanks for your balanced and candid review - we appreciate the detailed feedback which we do listen to and act upon. We do aim to provide food which is a step up from the usual pub grub, which comes with its own risks when customers may be expecting more 'run of the mill' offerings (which we don't think includes you). We get a lot of mixed feedback from our panko-battered cod loin. We strongly reassure you that nothing on our menu is frozen and pre-packaged - our cod is delivered fresh from Milton Haven, and is lightly battered and crumbed to order immediately before being cooked - this is why it is a little more expensive than at some other restaurants. Our chips are hand cut from Pembrokeshire potatoes, and twice-cooked before serving. We have, after this and some other feedback, decided to remove the cod loin from our menu as although we also get many positive comments, it is simply too divisive. We'd love to see you back as we think from your review that we can cater extremely well for your tastes - let us know if you do and we can recommend something from ourupdated menu which we think you'd enjoy. As always, if you let us know of any problems during your visit then we'll do what we can to make things right.

On a solo work trip I decided to wander down the bridleway from Felindre Farchog, not only did I find some lovely history and scenery in Nevern, I stumbled across this pub. Such a wonderful homely feel and to top it off I was told that they had a full gluten free menu. Friendly staff, good service, really tasty food. Thanks for taking in a wandering soul for some sustenance!

Thanks Jayne. It's really good to hear you enjoyed one of the many local walks - we like to walk from here up that bridleway to our friends at the Salutation Inn in Felindre for a pint before heading back home (for anther pint, naturally). See you again soon!

We ordered homemade bread and olives with balsamic and olive oil to start. the bread was unbelievable and the general quality of the Olives etc was perfect. For our mains we ordered two burgers with a Welsh rarebit topping and my mother and I had the most delicious vegan artichoke and leek fritters with new potatoes and greens.
I know this doesn't sound that interesting but the food was such excellent quality we felt we needed to write a review. The chef came out to chat to us and we thanked him personally.
He very kindly offered to send us the recipes for the fritters and bread.

We booked to have lunch having read positive reviews and because of a recommendation from our holiday cottage nearby. Our lunch was expensive for food that was largely inedible unfortunately. I had bream on a sunblush tomato salad which sounded lovely, but was a slimy piece of fish swimming in a sea of oil, I struggled to eat any of it. My partner had a large ham, egg and chips. The ham was served in two large chunks and was very wet and rubbery (more like spam), the gigantic chips were not cooked properly and the eggs were over cooked. We made a sharp exit and won't be returning.

We popped in for lunch at this lovely old pub as we were visiting the church in Neven with the weeping yew tree. The lunch menu was really good as you had a choice with every item as to whether you wanted it as a side or a mains dish. So we had a giant couscous salad and a fritter dish, both as sides - it was one of the most delicious meals we’ve had in ages! The chef was so kind and obliged when I asked if I could be told what was in the dressing- he wrote it out for me! Excellent service and good food. We’ve decided we’ll go back to stay for 2 nights in the autumn as they do accommodation as well.
