The majority of reviews commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, with guests noting it as 'very clean' and 'exceptionally clean throughout'. A single mention of a dirty grill pan suggests room for minor improvement, but does not significantly detract from the overall high standards maintained.
The property's location is consistently celebrated for being quiet yet conveniently close to Tenby's centre, beaches, and local attractions. The provision of parking spaces is particularly appreciated, adding to the ease of access and enjoyment of the area.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of cosy beds and a homely feeling. However, there are a few remarks about uncomfortable mattresses and a noisy bed base, suggesting that while comfort is generally high, there is some variability in the quality of sleep experienced.
The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-received kitchen and the inclusion of amenities like Wi-Fi and Netflix. Some guests mention a lack of hooks, inadequate towel rails, and a desire for better kitchen storage, indicating that while facilities are good, there is scope for enhancement.
The owners' thoughtfulness is highlighted by several guests who mention welcome gestures such as chocolate cake and basic provisions on arrival. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, though indicative of the owners' hospitality, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Very clean and well equipped. Location was excellent and the allocation of parking is a big bonus with space at such a premium in Tenby. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

An easy walk into Tenby meant we went out for meals in the evening but if weâd chosen to cook there was very little such as Pyrex bowls & a measuring jug. One of the beds only had covers on (no pillow cases) & when we stripped the beds at the end of the holiday although the duvets were clean some were ripped & in need of replacing. A separate bin to leave recycling in would have been useful.
