About this property
Set right in the heart of the picturesque village of Penally, nearby the seaside resort of Tenby, is this wonderful semi-detached cottage, Crown Cottage. Crown cottage has the appearance of a Victorian village house, having been carefully rebuilt to reflect the Crown Inn which once stood on the site. In the heart of the picturesque conservation area of Penally, the cottage has all the character and charm of a much older property, whilst having all the benefits of a recently constructed home-from-home. Crown Cottage is a reputable property with care and attention having been taken to upgrade and improve facilities throughout. Outside there are two designated parking spaces to the side and rear of the property and space for an additional vehicle immediately outside. Inside you’ll find homely and stylish furnishings throughout; the kitchen has a generous dining table which opens out onto an enclosed garden with sea views over Tenby golf course towards Caldey Island. Perfect for alfresco dining on a summer’s evening after a day spent on the beach or exploring all that Pembrokeshire has to offer. The outside tap is ideal for washing off sandy buckets and spades! There is a downstairs cloakroom just off the hallway to quickly freshen up before heading out the door. The welcoming sitting room is also accessible from the hallway with a Smart TV and DVD player for your entertainment. Stairs lead from the sitting room up to the welcoming bedrooms above, comprising a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a standard double with a Smart TV, and a single bedroom, all of which share the family bathroom with shower over bath for guests to get ready in style. The property is just a short stroll away from the Pembrokeshire coastal path and Tenby’s glorious south beach. The Village itself has two public houses and frequent bus and train services for you to explore the coastal path and more of Pembrokeshire, whilst your car is safely stowed away in the designated parking places. Venture to the nearby seaside town of Tenby with an array of quirky shops and narrow streets lined with tea rooms, cafés, restaurants, pubs, alongside three spectacular sandy beaches.

We had a lovely weeks stay, the cottage has everything you need. A welcome pack was there when we arrived of wine, Welsh cakes, milk, tea and coffee. The beds are very comfortable. We couldn't recommend Crown Cottage enough, we definitely want to return. It wasn't just the cottage but the village and surrounding areas that all made our stay an enjoyable one.

Loved the welcome gifts, thank you. Bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. Thanks for the games we enjoyed playing them. Location was amazing, walk to the beach just wonderful. Just a couple of things that could be improved (but didn't in any way ruin our holiday), could you consider putting hooks on the back of the bedroom and bathroom doors, just easier to hang towels rather than bunched up on the radiator. The outdoor space was a lacking a bit of attention, flooring very green and discoloured, bins on show not very appealing, very plain and just not a very inviting space to sit in considering it is the only outdoor space. Maybe some easy to care for pots with plants or even something trailing along the fence, lights maybe? Also the front of the cottage was a little bit uncared for, weeds everywhere, brown marks on the paint, again maybe a couple of pots with plants? Thank you for a great stay at a wonderful location, would definitely recommend.
