  This is a wonderful, cute little cottage that definitely met the description given online!

  It's placement is ideal, it is literally on the beach front, which is ideal when you have little ones, and also when you have changeable weather, as we did during our stay. When the tide goes out, there is a nice sandy beach for little ones to play on. In addition, there are some lovely views of the beach from the upstairs bedrooms. The nice little cove offers some privacy away from big crowds, and also provides an excellent base to visit many local beaches and attractions. In terms of facilities, the kitchen and bathroom are both of excellent standard - the power shower has excellent flow and a good temperature. We cooked a few simple meals whilst at the cottage, including stir fry, oven chips, freshly baked croissants and even pancakes! All the relevant equipment was in place to make all of these dishes, including kitchen scales and a measuring jug. Our only problem was that it was not clear that the controls for the heating and hot water in the rest of the house were in the utility room - we had spent some time trying to adjust the thermostat dial outside the bathroom, with no luck, and as a consequence spent a few very cold days in the house thinking that the heating didn't work in the house! Nevertheless, when we eventually called the company, someone came within the hour to explain how the heating system worked. It would also be nice if there could be one electric or oil radiator downstairs, as there are no radiators at all on the downstairs floor, but this is a relatively minor issue for the summer months. I can only assume that we are meant to fire up the wood fire to heat the downstairs during the colder times of year, and whilst there was plenty of wood provided for burning, there was no kindling wood or any instructions, so we struggled to get a fire going. The only other complaint we would have is that although it is really great that the property has a fully functioning washing machine that we used a number of times, the utility room is very cold and damp, as it does not have many windows to let in the sunshine, so we had to hang our washing on the bannisters and in our rooms upstairs, where there were radiators. Conversely, I particularly liked the extensive arrangements in place to try and recycle as much of the household waste as possible. We sorted our waste in the appropriate bags and boxes, and left them all out on the street ready to be collected on Friday morning according to the instructions placed on the wall in the utility room, and it was all taken away. The above are just some minor comments for possible improvement in future, but all in all, we all had a fabulous stay, and would definitely like to come again!

  We had a lovely holiday at The Grange everything needed for a comfortable stay is provided and it is in a perfect position, a short walking distance away from Little Haven and Broad Haven where there is a good selection of pubs, cafes and grocery store,.

  There is also good access to the coastal path and two large beaches and many more a short drive away. We particularly enjoyed walking to Newgale Sands and visiting St David’s, Tenby and Saundersfoot. The house itself was a very spacious with a huge kitchen diner and two sitting rooms. There are a good selection of board games, books and dvds in the sitting rooms. Upstairs are two nice bedrooms also of a good size with comfortable beds and great views of the local countryside. The upstairs bathroom does not have a shower which we would have preferred but as there is a shower in the bathroom downstairs this was not a problem. Downstairs down a long corridor is an additional bedroom and bathroom with bath and shower. Everything was very clean inside but the bedroom window unfortunately faced the next door neighbours wall which was covered in cobwebs and the window was dirty also, probably because there was no access to it without going onto next doors property. This bedroom also had a slight damp smell to it. We felt that because of this the bedroom was not very inviting. This was not a problem to us as we did not need to use this room. The house was a good price as it was out of season. The outside area around the side entrance would also benefit from a bit of a clean as lots of cobwebs making it less welcoming on arrival. Overall we were very happy staying here and would definitely recommend for families as there is so much space, comfortable beds, outdoor space for children to play and plenty of parking space.

  The cottage was ideal for our family of 5.

  The beach was only 7 minutes walk away and its absolutely amazing, the walks are fantastic. There are plenty of things to do for the kids within a 30 minute drive from the cottage. The town of Tenby is definitely worth visiting and then there's the oakwood theme park which was unfortunately closed due to time of the season. We did go to to the Blue Lagoon indoor water park which was great fun and the Heatherton outdoor adventures which again the kids enjoyed. The cottage itself was good with plenty of space and the facilities in the kitchen was perfect with everything you could need being there. The only negatives were plenty of dead or dying flies, but this was due to the time of the season with the temperatures dropping. Also the cold water pressure in the upstairs bathroom was very low and at times trickling through. The smell of the drying coffee in the boiler room left a really bad smell near the entrance to the cottage which became non existent by the time we left.

  This is a beautifully situated and furnished cottage.

  With high end, modern furnishings. It is in walking distance to the shops, restaurants and white, sandy beach. Although there is resident, permit only parking outside the cottage, there is a charity run car park across the road. The owners have left a very effective users manual for all the electrical appliances in the cottage, including the heating and water. We did find this very helpful. However, we would say if you have any mobility issues this may not be the best choice of cottages for you as there are three small flights of stairs and the bathroom step is rather steep. We also found very steep steps out the back to a high garden, which was lovely and the scenery was beautiful, but not easily accessible especially if you have a dog. Broad haven is a beautiful, coastal retreat with stunning surrounding countryside. Definitely a place we would like to visit again. We do think that if this cottage made one or two alterations it would be one of the best to stay in.

  The cottage was as described very close to the beach and slipway and with splendid views of the beach and out to sea.

  Great for watching all the activity and being involved in the atmosphere of this compact little village. The cottage was very well fitted out with good equipment and appliances. We felt at home very quickly. The arrangements for parking in the council car park worked well. We only spent a short time in the garden, high above the cottage, and that was enjoyable but perhaps a bit difficult if you wished to carry and eat a meal up there. The cottage was well heated for chilly evenings when the wind blows in from the sea. Nice very short walk up to the point to see the sunset and to get an even better panoramic view of St Brides Bay. The only minor niggles were bedside lights in the bedroom, one was faulty and the other had a failed bulb. The cooker hood was very good but it needed to be cleaned out. Overall this is a great little cottage in a superb position. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.
