Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the exceptional breakfast served at The Boathouse. Many claim it’s the best way to kick off a day of adventures. Popular choices include the hearty full English and fluffy pancakes that never disappoint.
The atmosphere is another highlight. With window seating that offers beautiful views of Carmarthen Bay, diners enjoy a relaxing environment that enhances any meal.
Additionally, the restaurant's excellent service stands out. Friendly and attentive staff make each visit enjoyable, often remembered by returning customers. The app-based order system also earns praise for making the dining experience smoother, especially during busy weeks.
People also appreciate the kids' menu, which caters well to younger diners, making it a family-friendly choice that parents trust.
Most Disliked
While The Boathouse offers a great overall experience, a few recurring complaints emerge from diners. Some guests have expressed concerns about food temperatures, mentioning that certain dishes occasionally arrive warm instead of hot. A consistent delivery of hot meals would enhance the overall dining satisfaction.
Another common issue is inconsistent wait times, particularly with side dishes. Some patrons have noticed that chips can come out cold, leading to a request for replacements. Although the service staff are polite and communicate well about potential delays, a more streamlined kitchen operation could eliminate these hiccups.
Lastly, a few customers wish for greater variety in side options; although the existing selections are popular, expanding the menu could better cater to all tastes.

Can't not come to a Parkdean and not use the the Boathouse. Always a great experience. Decided to finish off our holiday before heading home with a well cooked breakfast and we were not let down and not a long wait either.

Good food and decent prices, only had to send back a portion of chips once as they came out a little cold, apart from that, service was good and informative if the food order was going to be longer then expected, nice views out the window so a window seat is recommended.

Looked at previous reviews. Well, my personal experience is of good tasty food. I have tried 5 meals so far, and all have been good. The only downside is some of the food is not really hot. Just warm. Service is great. And the staff are really nice and helpful. Cost is about the same as pub food. But if you take advantage of the daily special offers you can save a lot on the price of the meals. Definitely need to give this place a try.
