  Great place for a multigenerational holiday; in laws appreciated the bungalow and the amount of space we had; well maintained and decorated. So pleased to have two information folders, one for appliances and one for local information (sites of interest, pubs, drs etc) - seems rare after Covid but it's so useful! 3 year old made the most of the garden; we sat out at the table in brief pockets of Oct/Nov sunshine, and borrowed some fishing nets for the beach from the shed. Appreciated the Nintendo Wii (and spare batteries! Hurrah!) as well as the TV, DVDs, cards and toys in the cupboard to supplement those we'd brought with us. There was even a spare plug, as well as spare cleaning materials, and we were able to bake some cakes with the scales and baking tins too, as well have 'proper coffee' in the cafetiere - really did feel this was a very well equipped cottage, more so than others we've stayed in. Very warm and responsive central heating. We didn't need the cot or travel cots/bedding but appreciated that they were there if needed; plenty of storage with wardrobes, drawers and bedside tables in the bedrooms. Only a short walk downhill to the centre of Saundersfoot but too steep/far for the inlaws to walk so we used the car(s) and parked in the harbour and by the community centre. Lots of shops, pubs and restaurants - recommend booking for Sunday lunch. Great sandy beach. There is a little Tesco in town as well as a Spar shop. The bungalow is on a hill, so not affected by the local flooding near Tenby. Great walk at Bosherton Lily Ponds to Broad Haven beach and a visit to Stackpole walled garden cafe, as well as Pendine sands, Tenby (good swimming pool and inflatables sessions for kids!), Dinosaur Park and Laugharne. Only one quibble, and that was the quality of the single beds, where the slats fell out (easily put back in)

  After driving and being on the road for over eight hours, we finally arrived at the cottage.

  We had just boiled the kettle when we received a phone call from the owner of the cottage initial of thinking they were phoning to welcomers instead she was phoning us to reprimand and threaten us, the very ignorant neighbours had phoned her to complain that we were encroaching on her property. We were not made aware that that was an access road only and we had to immediately park on the very small gated drive. On the phone call the owner did not enquire about our drive welcomes to the cottage or thank us for booking. She just said you need to move your car. You’re encroaching on the neighbours property otherwise you’ll have to park on the road. We were so shocked my husband felt like getting in the car and driving another nine hours to take us back to the north of England, I would be kind to say that the property was very tired however it was dirty. The carpets were filthy. Curtains were dirty. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall the wardrobe panel I had to screw back on because that was also hanging off they were Maltesers , stuff down the side of the dirty leather corner suite rug in front of the fire had a burn mark on it and it was really filthy. The corners turned up and frame which could be a trip hazard pulled one of the tables out to rest our drinks on and it was real sticky and dirty it felt like there was something under the rug when I walked on it lifted it up and there were bits of wood and bits of plastic game pieces or toys under there so clearly this is a regular thing. It’s systemic. Only one good thing to say the beds were comfortable, but because the cottage was so filthy, I stripped them back to check mattresses and things because I did not want to sleep , on a dirty bed as I said the bed was fine. I do require somebody from Sykes cottages to get back to me as soon as possible

  We have enjoyed a marvellous holiday with both our boys, their wives, our grandchildren and a dog in Stoney Cottage.

  The accommodation totally met our needs and we were very comfortable in this clean, well kept environment. The beds were very comfortable with lovely fresh linen. The bathrooms, especially the shower room, were large and the shower was powerful. The three comfortable sofas in the large lounge/diner meant that we could all easily relax together in front of a very nice fire when required. The heating was good throughout. The dog and our grandchildren were able to play safely on the patio. The kitchen was more than well supplied with all the utensils, cutlery, pots and pans dishes/mugs that we needed to self cater for our large party. It was great that so many household items were supplied at the sinks. We appreciated the welcome pack, especially the welsh cakes! Tim was always on hand if we had any questions or needs. His advice about where to visit in the local area was very helpful, along with the very well prepared handbook. The cottage is very well placed for visits to so many lovely beaches and towns within a fifteen to twenty minute drive. There was a park for the children that was a short walk away and plenty of walks for the dog. There was plenty of parking behind the gates for our three cars and those of the visitors to the other cottages. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Stoney Cottage and would definitely book again in the future. Thank you!

  Stammers Retreat is a beautiful and well-maintained bungalow with ample space to rattle around in making it extremely comfortable. We particularly welcomed the 2 sofas in the family room/dining kitchen overlooking the garden and spent a lot of time in there. It is so lovely - even though on holiday - we stayed in and chilled. The location of Stammers Retreat is absolutely perfect, a short walk down the hill (great when having a few cocktails at The Mulberry Restaurant) into Saundersfoot and nicely tucked away from the road making it very quiet and private. I have never stayed anywhere before where your sheets and towels are changed weekly, the lawn is mowed and the lovely cleaning ladies come weekly - fantastic service. Helen and Tony are THE BEST HOSTS nothing is too much trouble and always happy to help if any issues (not that we had any) they are so friendly and kind. We have already booked for next year. FANTASTIC - thanks for a wonderful holiday.

  An attractive cottage (no doubt a barn conversion).

  Has lots of potential but not a four star as advertised. Have stayed in many many cottages and never before have we had to strip the beds ourselves on vacating. Requires new double glazing and definitely toilet roll holders in bathrooms. Beds were comfortable. Rotary washing line needs attention instead of rocks to keep it in place and garden etc needs a general tidy up. Dark, cold and a bit disappointing on arrival but we got used to the cottage and it grew on us. Couldn't use the WiFi (password?!). Up to date information re supermarkets would have been helpful as found the Kilgetty coop in a right mess so a wasted visit. Contented Sole had the worst chips we had ever had. Oh and a shower cubicle upgrade is required upstairs if the property is to remain a four star. A few other pointers if it would help but not mentioned here. Just a general upgrade needed.
