  Great location close to down centre and sea 100m to both, very comfy and everything you need for a lovely break in Tenby. Guaranteed Car Parking spot with permit included in the multi storey 200m away was ideal as in the walls of the town parking is limited and car parks can get full at peak times of year. Lovely gift pack left for us on arrival. Would be ideal for a large family, couples retreat, or 2 families of 4. 2 double bedrooms a bathroom with separate shower, a bath, sink and toilet and a separate toilet room on ground floor. The kitchen and living room is on the 1st floor. There is a double bedroom, a twin bunk bed room and another bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet on 2nd floor. We had a 5 night stay with my son & daughter with us for 2 nights on the weekend then they had to leave for work which was a shame but Me and my wife then had the whole place to ourselves for a further 3 nights and bed hopped to see which room was the best for us in future. The front ground floor bedroom is the biggest but your on the road level with anyone walking passed house able to see in if blinds are open, the bells of the church and any passing traffic on foot or car can wake you up early as windows on front are single wooden sash as this is a grade II listed building. The other bedrooms are at the rear of the property and have PVC double glazing so any noise is greatly reduced, we had best 2 nights sleep rear bedroom ground floor and can watch the stars through the roof window there. The 2nd floor bedrooms you can see the sea over the houses from the windows. I hope this review helps anyone and have a great stay at the Shipwrights like we did!

  I booked this cottage having stayed in another cottage on the complex before.

  After booking and paying in full two weeks before our trip, I read the reviews to discover that the third bedroom has a toddler bunk bed. This was described in the small print, but I missed it. I contacted Sykes straight away to try to change the cottage. After several days of trying to get a response they told me via WhatsApp that I wouldn't be able to change the accommodation or get a refund. They were not interested. I then contacted the owner/caretaker number to discuss how they would be able to accommodate us. We had five adults in our group, and the property only has four suitable beds. Nobody bothered to contact me. We were stuck. My 18yr old had to sleep squashed into the toddler bunk, which dominated the very small room. She felt like she was sleeping in a cupboard. Upon arrival, there wasn't any welcome pack. There were dead ants all over the conservatory floor and on the dinning table. There was lots of long strands of head hair in the double bed (which was also the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in) There were crumbs on the kitchen work surface. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. The tv was described as a smart tv, we couldn't get any clear reception. I am very disappointed with Sykes who you can't get hold of, it seems that as soon as they have your money they don't care. The people they use to clean the cottage don't know what cleaning is. The only positive is that the pool and grounds were well kept and a bonus. I will not be returning or be using Sykes or any of there partners again.

  The details published on the sykes website are misleading.

  We were not advised that the pool had to be booked in advance in 1 hour time slots. The gym and sauna were unavailable, having looked in the gym it contained two exercise machines and a few light free weights. The property had beds to sleep 6 people however, the bunk beds in the third room are tiny, I would almost say toddler size (this was not as pictured) and to stay it was a squeeze is an understatement, the bed literally fills the room and we could just squeeze around the door. This would be ok for a young family but not teenagers. Sykes and the owner did try to resolve the issue but the suggestion that boy and girl teenagers should share a room was not acceptable to us. A sofa bed which is not advertised was the solution but not what we would have chosen if we had of known in advance as this took up the whole of the living space. The sofas are not as pictured and were also very small. The property was not comfortable for us as a family of two adults two teenagers, a child and a dog. The property was very clean and tidy and the site and facilities were exceptionally clean. It is perfectly positioned to explore the beautiful coastline. We left the property early as we all needed some sleep given the cramped conditions. It was a shame and disappointing as the area and site were lovely. More clarity is required in your advert.

  Wide angle net pic pics very deceptive.

  This is a small one bed ground floor flat with another upstairs. There's shared lawn, lovely fruiting crabapple tree, outside tables and chairs , air dryer, 2 parking spaces, all facing other houses on the "village" estate .Also ample "community" grounds nearby and facitlities that we didn't use (wet November). Flat floors are pleasing "wood", leather comfy furniture and wood cupboards etc., folksy rugs, excellent TV, snuggly bed, pretty linen, easy tiny shower with gorgeous tiles. First rate kitchen. Heating bit problematic: All rads locked at 15degrees, but extra coal effect fire in sitting room fairly powerful. Thanks for diffusing sticks throughout - wood sage and sea salt, lovely. St. Frances is a really charming village with 2 good pubs/restaurants,.surrounded by countryside, with superb 13th century church and pretty cottages.Countless glorious beaches all along coast and coastal path nearby. Only negative thing was 14 days rain, so thank goodness for the 1000 piece jigsaw (almost finished) and little library!. .

  Just back from from a fantastic long weekend in Tenby. Chart House was absolutely superb; the decor is gorgeous (I kept noticing new details in different rooms!), the kitchen is brilliantly equipped and in terms of location it couldn't be better. The beach is just at the end of St Mary's Street and many of the rooms have sea views. It was November but the house was super cosy, and it was lovely to put the fire on in the evenings, close the blinds and just relax (v comfy sofas too). I hadn't been to Tenby before and really loved it - loads of independent shops and nice little bars/cafes/restaurants. The weather wasn't amazing so we didn't do much walking, but honestly we were very happy and cosy in the house and occasionally popping out for a beach stroll when the sun came out. Narberth is also a really lovely town (15 mins drive?) and we had a fabulous afternoon tea at Penally Abbey . Five stars from us, and we can't wait to return!
