The property is described as homely and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches like a Bara Brith cake adding to the welcoming atmosphere. While some guests found the beds hard and the exterior unexpected, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many looking forward to returning.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests impressed by the tidy and well-kept condition upon arrival.
The location is frequently highlighted as perfect, being very close to a gorgeous beach and within a short drive to other attractions, contributing to a positive experience.
Comfort receives a slightly lower score due to mixed reviews about the beds' firmness, though the property is otherwise considered comfortable and spacious.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. However, there are minor concerns about the hot water system and the expectations set by the property's exterior appearance.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the well-equipped property and occasional gifts like Bara Brith, although such gifts are kindly noted as a gracious extra and not guaranteed.
About this property
The delightful Green Coast Awarded Freshwater East beach is just a 3 minute walk from this cosy and comfortable holiday accommodation on Freshwater Bay Holiday Park, making it perfect for a couple or small family wishing to enjoy the stunning south Pembrokeshire coast.
And if you plan on walking along the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast Path, we are situated just 3 minutes away from this too!
There is a cafe, shop & restaurant situated just by our lovely beach - search 'Jacks at the Longhouse' in Facebook. They often list special events and dining specials.
In addition there is another pub nearby called The Freshwater Inn. They serve lovely food and are well placed to showcase beautiful views across the bay. There is an amazing ice cream van in the beach car park
Some of the many nearby beaches are Tenby (one of Wales top seaside towns), Manorbier (and its imposing castle), Barafundle Bay (regularly listed as one of the top beaches in the world), Broad Haven (on the edge of the Stackpole Estate) and Freshwater West (which is great for surfing and famous as the location for Shell Cottage in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' film).
Freshwater East offers golden sands and clear blue waters backed by green craggy countryside and sheltered rocky sections. The dunes behind the beach are a local nature reserve known as The Burrows. The village is situated to the south of Lamphey, on the south west of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. You will find a pub and a restaurant as well as plenty of accommodation. The Coast Path in either direction is a delight. Walk east to remote Swanlake Bay and on to Manorbier, or take a journey west to Stackpole Quay, then carry on to Barafundle Beach. Freshwater East has a history dating back to the Iron Age, with the remains of a fort at East Cliff. During the Victorian period it was part of a busy social scene and very popular for outings and picnics. Lamphey is situated just 2 miles away and offers a small shop, a traditional pub and two restaurants, as well as Lamphey railway station on the Pembroke Dock branch running services along the West Wales Line. There are many watersports to take up in the area including; sailing, canoeing, surfing and water skiing, or you can simply relax on the beach and play ball games. With its elevated position, overlooking the bay, this wonderful destination draws visitors from all over. Pembroke is a medieval walled town about 4 miles north, with a magnificent castle, shops and tea rooms. A destination not to be missed!

Very well positioned for the beach , only a 3 min walk from the front door. Very well equipped has everything and more for a comfortable stay. Only a short drive from lots of Pembrokeshires attractions. There is a restaurant/ bar on site which offers a good choice of food for those who do not want to cook. All in all we and our Grandson had a wonderful time. We can certainly recommend 34 freshwater bay, and would love to return in the future. Finally a special thank you to the owner who is super friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a good stay.

The chalet was clean, homely and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay. A great location being a 2 minute walk from the beach and a good central location to enjoy Pembrokeshire. A friendly owner who was very helpful. We really hope to stay again. A home away from home.
