  We had a lovely two weeks staying at White Thorns.

  The house and garden had lots of space and the facilities were excellent, a real home from home with everything that we needed, despite some of the decor being a little dated. The garden was brilliant for the dogs, information supplied in the cottage emphasised that dogs should not be left unattended in the garden as they may be able to get through the fence/hedge. There was a large patio area which meant we could sit out in the evening which we loved. The WiFi was excellent too. The ‘Welsh’ welcome pack was a really nice gesture and much appreciated after a long journey. We visit this area regularly and have previously stayed at Nolton and Hasguard’s Cross but found this location much more convenient, both for the town and for driving to the beaches as the routes were main roads rather than single track country roads. When we arrived, everywhere was lovely and clean, apart from the bathroom which was quite grubby. We really appreciated the clean linen half way through the 2 week holiday. We do feel that the kitchen would benefit from an under counter freezer as the small freezer is not appropriate for a family and that the step in kitchen (near to the fridge) is painted a different colour to prevent tripping. Overall we had a lovely holiday and will definitely be returning to White Thorns.

  We arrived early at the property due to a problem with our car.

  The chap cleaning the house invited us to stay on the drive whilst we waited for the AA. We were still waiting for assistance when the house cleaning was completed and the same chap told us to go into the house and was most helpful in showing us where everything was. We have had a great holiday and would say that the house is basic with a few extras. Good points: clean beds, clean towels, utility room with dehumidifier. Nice welcoming touches -tea, coffee, milk cake, hot tub, juke box, great sized garden, plenty of crockery & cutlery, good dishwasher, good range of sleeping arrangements, plenty of parking space and a lovely clean barbecue. Areas we felt could have been better: Kitchen needs rethinking - fridge too small for a family of 12, not all utensils/crockery clean. A mish-mash of utensils (3 veg peelers none of which were any good for example). No storage space for food. The house is in need of some TLC - damp walls in lounge and dining room and the handles/locks on bathroom doors need attention. The owners clearly responds to positive feedback and we can see that the house has great potential for further development. A good base for exploring Pembrokeshire and we enjoyed our stay.

  In many ways the property was excellent but there were a number of irritations and concerns.

  The key safe was not where we were told that it would be. It was on a fence post thirty metres away and the number to ring for advice was no longer the current caretaker. No new number was available. The kitchen was well equipped but there were no kitchen scissors. It was good to have two high chairs but since small children are likely to wander under the huge dining table for an adventure, it would have been helpful if the underside of that table did not have wood screws projecting down an inch or so. The stairgates were badly fitted and dangerous. It would have been helpful to know that in the field adjacent to the back garden the neighbours practiced car racing of some sort. .It made the garden an unsafe place to be whilst this was happening. There was no dishcloth or dishwasher tablets and the tea-towels that were provided appeared to be unlaundered. I would not want to try and iron the enormous tablecloth that was on the dining table but it seemed that nobody else wanted to either. It looked most unsightly. I don't mind whether you publish these comments or not. It is more important to rectify the matters.

  White Thorns provided a very comfortable, warm base for our visit to Pembrokeshire to see family.

  The accommodation is very large and there is plenty of room. White Thorns is quite dated however this isnt a negative comment, it has a certain charm which made it very welcoming. Beds were super comfortable. Walk in shower was great. Drive up to property is steep . Garden at rear is dog friendly and secure. Kitchen was only area we felt lacking ....the room was a bit pokey oven seemed hit or miss and some of the pans had seen better days. Its a 10 minute walk into Haverfordwest town and plenty of supermarkets localy. White Thorns was also 10 mins to train station. Great road network to popular areas such as St Davids, Tenby and Saundersfoot. The acvomodation was clean and there were ample towels and sheets fresh and crisp. A thoughtfull welcome gift of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits.Internet was a little hit and miss. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend as a comfortable spacious warm base to explore the area.

  A large and comfortable house which easily accommodated 4 adults , 3 children and a small dog.

  Very well equipped, there was nothing lacking. The area is very nice with friendly neighbours and easy access to the beaches , walks and attractions. You need transport and some of the roads are very narrow with passing places , care is needed. Considering it's school holidays , parking at the various locations was relatively easy ( having the app helps ) . There are lovely coastal walks but these are strenuous and probably not suited to those with disabilities. St David's is lovely. The supermarkets for stocking up are all at Haverfordwest which is about 20 minutes drive. Most people seemed to be here for the watersports, our boys certainly were , without any significant problems. Investing in wetsuits is a good idea. A lovely stay , thanks to the owners for providing a comfortable and spacious home and allowing us to share it.
