My favourite Tenby businesses

Debbie here, still loving living in wonderful Pembrokeshire, Tenby in particular. Below you will see some of the establishments I visit quite frequently. Found a brilliant salon for anyone who loves having beautifully painted nails. I have had several appointments at Ruby Ruby, in The Mews in Tenby, and every time loved the result. I can’t take my eyes off them when I leave, so much so that once, whilst gazing at the gorgeous new colour I had chosen, I managed to trip and break the heel on my shoe. Oops. If you are unfortunate enough to break or damage a nail whilst on holiday in Pembrokeshire the friendly staff will, without hesitation, do the repair. They also do various beauty treatments if you feel you need pampering after a long session on the beach or a boat cruise around Caldey Island. Can recommend Stacey in particular for her girly chats whilst she is busy making your nails and hands look gorgeous. And with regard to my broken heel, ‘Dai the Boot’ a little gem in ‘Tenby’s indoor market, repairs shoes, bags, belts. On entering his shop you are hit by the chaos and feel a bit reluctant to leave your much-loved shoes or bag with him. But, as you will see when you return to pick them up he knows exactly where everything is. Amazing!! If asked he will repair the items, if he isn’t too busy, while you are having a cup of coffee in the cafĂ© just outside his premises. So if you are unlucky enough to break a heel or damage your shoes whilst visiting Tenby, definitely pay Dai a visit, our local hero, made famous on the BBC programme Tenby 24/7. Once a year he hosts a charity auction selling locally caught sea bass. It all happens outside the Hope and Anchor public house in St Julian’s Street Tenby. During the day local fisherman take part in a sea bass fishing competition and Dai sells everything that is caught at the auction for charity. Lollies of Tenby is a wonderland of sweets and chocolates. Situated on the Floral Corner on Tenby High Street you just can’t walk passed, the smell of the chocolate draws you in. As well as handmade Belgian Chocolates there are jars upon jars of what I like to call ‘old fashion’ sweets. Sherbert Lemons, Pineapple Chunks. Cola Cubes to name but a few. You have to call in when you are in Tenby for an experience that will take you back in time, if you are of a certain age. Whatever your reason for visiting Tenby, FBM Holidays has the perfect accommodation for you to enjoy discovering all that Tenby and Pembrokeshire has to offer.
