  We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Cobblers shop but there were a few areas that we feel could be improved.

  One issue we had was that there seemed to be a bit of a fly problem, there were lots of flies in the accommodation that we could not get rid of and it was not very nice having to eat in there with flies flying around. We did have to go out and buy some fly spray from a supermarket but even with this there was still lots of flies. When we arrived the dishcloth was wet and had clearly been used and left in the sink. I would have preferred no dishcloth as opposed to a dirty one. There was rubbish in bins which had also not been emptied around the accommodation and the outside area which suggests it hadn’t been cleaned properly. There also seemed to be no wifi in the accommodation despite it being advertised to have wifi, this wasn’t a massive problem but when wanting to watch a film at night we couldn’t use Netflix or the internet to find a film. A slight recommendation would be for there to be a welcome book with information about how to use the facilities and any important information in. For example, people may not use a pizza oven, hot tub or sauna regularly so it would be good to have some top tips or information about how to use them. The bins are also different in local councils so we were unsure what to do regarding recycling and general waste. It may also be worth mentioning when booking the local shop opening hours, it closes at 3pm on a Saturday so if checking in on a Saturday it will already be closed when you arrive so at least if made aware prior to arrive we could have planned to stop at a shop further away. Like I said we really enjoyed our stay and these were only minor problems which hopefully will be addressed in the future and despite these we would definitely recommend the accommodation.

  The old cobblers was beautiful and in a great setting.

  Driving up to the cottage was great and seeing it had us excited for or stay. On entering it was what we expected cosy and modern with small rustic touches. Outside areas were amazing and clean. Hot tub was great and the sauna was amazing after working out how it works. Few small negative points, no welcome book to say how things work e.g sauna, microwave oven, induction hob. No sauspans for cooking food, Also found popcorn in the side dresser, floor was dirty. The biggest issue and there is not much you can do about the weather but it was so hot in the accommodation because of the heatwave there was no way to cool the place down because if you opened the windows and doors you would have a room full of flies.also no shelter from the sun outside if you wanted a shaded area. Bed was comfortable shower room great. Sofa cosy and in the evening plenty of areas to sit outside but the lighting did not let you play cards or read outside.overall we would book again but knowing what we needed we would take them along. Winter time would be lovely with the firepit and log burner.

  Very well equipped ground floor flat (a few steps up from the pavement). The property is just a small and very quiet road across from the beach, with steps down to reach miles of golden sandy beaches. There are three islands directly opposite/near the flat - one is Caldey Island -- you can visit the monastery there and look round the island by boat from Tenby. Stunning views. You can park on The Paragon, which is the quiet road the flat is on. The road is mostly used by people going to the beach. The flat has secondary glazing, so you don't hear much of what's going on outside. Comfortable extra large double bed in a very spacious bedroom. Also a twin room, which has less room, but which was fine. Small balcony outside the twin room. The area is stunning and Tenby is a busy little place, with a good variety of shops (Tesco Extra, Sainsburys, WH Smith, Boots and lots of independent shops). Short walk to the shops - maybe 3 minutes. Recommend this comfortable, spacious flat, which was immaculately clean. Thanks for a great holiday.

  The cobblers is a great little property, coming with a hot tub, fire pit, and sauna, plus plenty of outdoor space.

  It's been built to a really high standard, and is very cosy! We found the bed to be comfortable, but extremely limited on storage for bags. The sofa or a random corner as used and took up a lot of the cosy space. The shower was fantastic, always hot and quite powerful!! We enjoyed the welcome basket, which has eggs, cider, wine and Welsh cakes. This was a great treat! Having stayed at a few similar places, we would've liked an instruction manual/welcome pack just so we had an idea of how to work the hot tub, sauna, and heating system within the property. Also adding in what's nearby etc (we know there were leaflets, but more or a better range for longer stays would be good :) and gives the customer a better idea of the area, maybe a map? The owner Geoff was very welcoming and did offer some advice on where to go. There was a slight issue with the hot tub, but was sorted within the day.

  Amazing apartment, fantastic sea views from all windows which are large, spacious airy rooms, spotlessly clean, excellent quality equipment and furnishings, lots of little extras for comfort like a fan in each bedroom, small radio, lots of books, games and dvds in the lounge, large tv with lots of channels provided, very comfy beds and sofas, apartment very close to shops, restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, all around a 20 min walk and one of our party is less able but still managed to walk to everything and back. Definately one of THE best if not the best holiday property we have stayed in and Tenby is just beautiful and, for dog owners which we are, VERY dog friendly. Can’t fault anything and will definately be returning to this property again. Angie Barker and familly Stayed 28 June to 5 July 2024
