Hotel, formerly three terraced houses Nos 3, 4 and 5 Croft Terrace. The terrace of 11 houses on The Croft were begun in the 1830s, on land leased by Jacob Richards of Croft House, The Norton, from the Corporation. Four houses were advertised for completion in 1833, by W Jones of Tenby. Nos 5 and 6 were built in 1839, in 1863 a sea-wall was about to be built in front of sites of 3 planned new houses, 2 were nearly complete in 1864 and the site of the third was advertised for sale by William Rees, joiner. No 10 was advertised as new built in 1869. The hotel comprises 2 three-bay houses Nos 3 and 4 of c1833 and one 2-bay house no 5 of 1839. No 5 was owned by T M P Hughes in 1926. According to the 1977 listing there had been 2 arched doorways with keystones to Nos 3 and 4, presumably like that on no 6.
Since 1977 No 6 has also been added to the hotel, but remains separately listed.
