Beach Cottages in Pembrokeshire

  Perfectly sited for easy access to shops, restaurants and South Beach which was very handy for the dog.

  Tenby is fabulous (it was our first of hopefully many visits) and I can't recommend Pembrokeshire highly enough. The cottage is comfortable but the glaring omission is the lack of a shower/2nd toilet with only a bath which would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues to negotiate. We were only 2 persons in the cottage but I can't imagine being able to have a comfortable stay if our 2 grown up children and their partners had accompanied us. Perhaps an outside shower with hot water might be an easy solution. While the cottage is comfortable and tastefully furnished, a little more attention to detail would help. There are no towel rails or hooks behind the bathroom door where to hang wet towels and more shelving in the bathroom would be useful. The basin in the bathroom is very small and trying to have a shave proved a challenge not made any easier with the lack of lighting above the basin. The kitchen/diner is a lovely space as is the enclosed outside patio. While the rustic dresser is attractive, it would be so much more practical if there were built in cupboards/shelves/drawers as the current packing space is very disorganised and there are a lack of microwave safe bowls. The lounge is comfortable with 2 large couches. An additional side table or 2 would be useful. Upstairs the bed that we slept in was comfortable but I did notice a lack of bedside tables in 1 of the rooms. Also a couple of the light bulbs had blown - again a lack of attention to detail. Although mentioned in information supplied and in other feedback, we had no problems with on street parking. In summary, this is a very well sited cottage and with a little more attention to details could be made so much better. If you don't mind a single bath and toilet for a cottage priced for 6 persons then you won't be disappointed. Finally the welcome hamper was most appreciated.

  We stayed in a lovely cottage for Christmas on Park Place, Tenby.

  This cottage we were worried might be a bit small but the way the owners had designed the cottage made it actually really spacious and all the decor was very trendy and stylish that is made the stay even better than we might of expected. The bath was very stylish and I want that exact bath now. The whole cottage was extremely clean and with all the amenities you could need from a caffetier to mixing bowls- which was great as we were baking over Christmas. Everything seemed very new so I guess we were lucky. Good outdoor space too, we did not really use as it is winter but in the summer I can only imagine it would be fab for bbq’s! Only thing I would say we missed is an extra toilet and a shower as with a full house this can get a bit annoying But no way a deal breaker as me and my family would happily come again to this lovely cottage by the sea. Also would recommend for anyone booking this cottage to put your kids in the loft bedroom as the ceilings were quite low, however again for me and my sister (in our mid to late 20’s) this was fine for a weeks break so not a massive deal breaker also. Would also like to say thank you to the owners for allowing our dog to stay, who wasn’t allowed upstairs but that is fine and the same rule in our house! But also for going the extra mile and putting up a real Christmas tree prior to our arrival and fully decorated it really did make the cottage feel like our home for Christmas! Thank you for a great stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone! It is a cosy and stylish cottage, 5mins walk to a lovely little town to wonder around and 5mins walk to the beach is just amazing!

  This is a super little cottage, ideal for anyone wanting a quiet spot but with easy access to Fishguard and north Pembrokeshire coast.

  It is also perfect for dog owners with a secure back garden, hard floors throughout the ground floor and access from the door onto bridleways and footpaths for walking. We found it nicely decorated and furnished, really well equipped and everything supplied of a nice quality. We particularly appreciated that rather than take out the book and DVD selection a “quarantine” crate was provided for the former and antiseptic wipes for the latter, meaning it retained its home from home feel. The owner next door is very friendly, approachable and helpful but not at all intrusive. There are a couple of features of the property that you should be clear about before booking. Firstly, access is via a rough and rather bumpy track for the last 200 metres - nothing an average car can't manage going slowly but don't take your low suspension car. The trade off for this is the amazingly quiet location despite being close to the bypass. Secondly there might be one or two difficulties for those with restricted mobility.There are 4 main rooms in the property and moving from any one to another, or indeed accessing the garden, is always via a few steps. We found our 11 year old rather arthritic retriever had to be coaxed up the steps from kitchen to lounge. Similarly much of the excellent array of cooking equipment in the kitchen is accessed from a corner cupboard requiring bending and stretching in a relatively confined space. This would in no way put us off booking again. We loved it!

  A flawed gem I feel.

  .. Being withing a couple minutes walk of both Sainsbury's and co op, the beach, car park and chippy is great. Nice little back yard which was ideal for our small dog. The house is generally well equipped. Beds are nice and comfy. Lounge is spacious and comfy. Wi-fi definitely a plus as cell signal is pretty hit and miss we found. Car park is close and only 25 for a week. Street is quiet in general Yes the listing mentions about the bathroom but in practice it's just not enough. Impossible for me to stand in the bath and the hand shower isn't really suitable for taking a shower. The ceiling/door heights are another issue as every door and landing passage had different heights or angles. Constantly ducking and weaving as you move around. I cracked my head sharply on the lounge one on the third day, as I misjudged the height while distracted, and it took a second day for me to feel normal again. Love the location and the house in general but for us it's a one time visit. Getting back from a day at the beach and washing all four of us plus dog just took so long. Really could also use a clothes line as the only drying rack is quite small and again not really suitable for a person house.

  The cottage has a lot of potential.

  Lovely location, garden was secure for dogs, kitchen was well equipped & it felt very private, lots of lovely features such as the log burner & wooden floors, staircase was very sweet & the attic room was very specious. Unfortunately, it was very run down. The double bed was incredibly uncomfortable, when we stripped the bed at the end of our stay we could see it was an old mattress with just a mattress topper in an obvious attempt to make it more comfortable. The duvet was yellow & dirty. Thankfully, the white bedding was fresh & clean. The sofa cushions were non existent, no springs or padding left in the tiny sofa & the tub chairs incredibly uncomfortable. The shower was the biggest let down with a lot of mould in the grout & excessive mould on the bathroom ceiling. Cobwebs & dust everywhere. Bedroom lighting was awful, very very dull & dark & the furniture was old & marked very badly. We don’t watch much tv on holiday but if we hadn’t been able to get out we’d have struggled as not even a fire stick & minimal channels. The cottage was very very basic & over all a let down. We still enjoyed our weekend but feel that honest reviews would be much more helpful.
