About this property
This superb Milford Haven cottage is on the lower side of two semi-detached properties, with the added advantage of a separate, large private terrace area overlooking the tidal estuary. The direct access down stone steps to the shingle beach make it perfect for walks along the shoreline, watching small boats pass by and enjoy the variety of birds overhead and on the water. With parking by the cottage and more shared private parking just up the road there is plenty of room for your own boat too. The delightfully spacious rooms of this Milford Haven cottage are individually designed and decorated, and the two Juliet balconies give wonderful views from two of the bedrooms as well as the living area. A perfect setting, all year round.
The town of Milford Haven overlooks the Cleddau Waterway and boasts a pretty marina, interesting shops, tea rooms and restaurants including those which serve freshly caught fish. The beaches, coastal path and lovely towns of Pembrokeshire are within easy reach.

Plenty of crockery etc but the one pair of scissors are blunt and there is no cutting board apart from a cracked wooden one. Not the best for chopping vegetables etc. Conflicting information given on whether or not there is a DVD player. We could not find one. The welcome file has some pages which have at such stage been damp so you canât read some of them. Not a good impression. Back in October after booking I asked for the twin beds to be zipped together. I w anted to confirm that all was ok. After two aborted 20 minute waits on the telephone, I finally got through after another 15 minutes and was told that the caretakers had been informed of our request. On arrival the beds had not been zipped together. The caretakers claimed they werenât informed. There are two floor areas (living/dining area and rear bedroom where the floor was very uneven and caused problems in closing the rear bedroom door quietly. Attention to detail overall compared to other places we have stayed in was poor.
