  Perfectly sited for easy access to shops, restaurants and South Beach which was very handy for the dog.

  Tenby is fabulous (it was our first of hopefully many visits) and I can't recommend Pembrokeshire highly enough. The cottage is comfortable but the glaring omission is the lack of a shower/2nd toilet with only a bath which would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues to negotiate. We were only 2 persons in the cottage but I can't imagine being able to have a comfortable stay if our 2 grown up children and their partners had accompanied us. Perhaps an outside shower with hot water might be an easy solution. While the cottage is comfortable and tastefully furnished, a little more attention to detail would help. There are no towel rails or hooks behind the bathroom door where to hang wet towels and more shelving in the bathroom would be useful. The basin in the bathroom is very small and trying to have a shave proved a challenge not made any easier with the lack of lighting above the basin. The kitchen/diner is a lovely space as is the enclosed outside patio. While the rustic dresser is attractive, it would be so much more practical if there were built in cupboards/shelves/drawers as the current packing space is very disorganised and there are a lack of microwave safe bowls. The lounge is comfortable with 2 large couches. An additional side table or 2 would be useful. Upstairs the bed that we slept in was comfortable but I did notice a lack of bedside tables in 1 of the rooms. Also a couple of the light bulbs had blown - again a lack of attention to detail. Although mentioned in information supplied and in other feedback, we had no problems with on street parking. In summary, this is a very well sited cottage and with a little more attention to details could be made so much better. If you don't mind a single bath and toilet for a cottage priced for 6 persons then you won't be disappointed. Finally the welcome hamper was most appreciated.

  We stayed in a lovely cottage for Christmas on Park Place, Tenby.

  This cottage we were worried might be a bit small but the way the owners had designed the cottage made it actually really spacious and all the decor was very trendy and stylish that is made the stay even better than we might of expected. The bath was very stylish and I want that exact bath now. The whole cottage was extremely clean and with all the amenities you could need from a caffetier to mixing bowls- which was great as we were baking over Christmas. Everything seemed very new so I guess we were lucky. Good outdoor space too, we did not really use as it is winter but in the summer I can only imagine it would be fab for bbq’s! Only thing I would say we missed is an extra toilet and a shower as with a full house this can get a bit annoying But no way a deal breaker as me and my family would happily come again to this lovely cottage by the sea. Also would recommend for anyone booking this cottage to put your kids in the loft bedroom as the ceilings were quite low, however again for me and my sister (in our mid to late 20’s) this was fine for a weeks break so not a massive deal breaker also. Would also like to say thank you to the owners for allowing our dog to stay, who wasn’t allowed upstairs but that is fine and the same rule in our house! But also for going the extra mile and putting up a real Christmas tree prior to our arrival and fully decorated it really did make the cottage feel like our home for Christmas! Thank you for a great stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone! It is a cosy and stylish cottage, 5mins walk to a lovely little town to wonder around and 5mins walk to the beach is just amazing!

  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.

  A flawed gem I feel.

  .. Being withing a couple minutes walk of both Sainsbury's and co op, the beach, car park and chippy is great. Nice little back yard which was ideal for our small dog. The house is generally well equipped. Beds are nice and comfy. Lounge is spacious and comfy. Wi-fi definitely a plus as cell signal is pretty hit and miss we found. Car park is close and only 25 for a week. Street is quiet in general Yes the listing mentions about the bathroom but in practice it's just not enough. Impossible for me to stand in the bath and the hand shower isn't really suitable for taking a shower. The ceiling/door heights are another issue as every door and landing passage had different heights or angles. Constantly ducking and weaving as you move around. I cracked my head sharply on the lounge one on the third day, as I misjudged the height while distracted, and it took a second day for me to feel normal again. Love the location and the house in general but for us it's a one time visit. Getting back from a day at the beach and washing all four of us plus dog just took so long. Really could also use a clothes line as the only drying rack is quite small and again not really suitable for a person house.
