About this property
On the edge of the pretty village of Angle, this semi-detached cottage offers the perfect base for a family holiday. The cottage is very well equipped and decorated with charm and style, and has a quiet garden where outdoor eating and relaxation can be enjoyed after a busy day. A 5-minute walk takes you to the lovely sandy beach of West Angle Bay with views across the water to St Ann's Head, as well as access to the Pembrokeshire National Park. Further afield are the surfing waves at the breathtaking beach of Freshwater West. The whole fantastic South Pembrokeshire coastline can be enjoyed from this spot, as well as the castle, shops and restaurants of Pembroke, the seaside resort of Tenby, Folly Farm and the Dinosaur Experience. With so many days out for all the family, this delightful cottage is perfect for a wonderful holiday.
With two pubs - both serving food – and a general store which incorporates an off licence and post office, the small picturesque village of Angle is a well served little settlement. Just a five minute walk from the lovely sandy beach of West Angle Bay and with views across the water to St. Ann's Head, Angle is also perfectly positioned for access to the Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Path. For those interested in surfing, there is an excellent beach - Freshwater West – within five miles whilst a number of walks throughout the wonderful countryside connect the stunning coastal scenery. A unique sight along this coastline is the curious St. Govan's Chapel, built right into the rocks, whilst the towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot offer numerous other activities such as museums, craft centres, gardens and mills.

Living area and kitchen a little small for 3 adults. Location is fantastic, short walks and beaches near by. The neighbours weren't very friendly. But overall excellent value for money.

I would have liked some handrails in the shower as I was unable to use it due to a disability. Angle is very peaceful and the bay is near this property

The cottage is in a quiet area, situated at the beach end of the village. The bay is very pretty; unfortunately although the weather was sunny and dry, a gale force wind prevailed most of the time and made for unpleasant beach walks. However we sat in the comfort of our car, virtually on the beach, to watch the sun set behind the headland - glorious. The beds and sofas were very comfortable. The furniture and decor are rather tired and scruffy, but commensurate with the comparatively low cost of the cottage. Holiday cottages are so expensive these days, presumably because of the new occupancy rules and other government interventions, so we tend to go away for 5 nights rather than 7 now to keep the cost under £400. Mirehouse was only £289 for 5 nights, in mid April. Cleanliness in the kitchen could certainly be improved - the cupboard doors need a good scrubbing and the trays in the oven were covered in grease - take some foil with you as none is provided. The kitchen is quite a noisy place to sit as both the boiler and the fridge are active a lot of the time. It was good to be able to control the heating by means of the thermostat and boiler control. The shower worked fine but as others have noted, there are no grab handles which makes getting in and out of the bath a little tricky if you have mobility problems. The steps up to the property have a firm handrail and were not too steep. WiFi worked well for browsing and streaming, but there was no phone signal. The TV has no Freeview channels, I used YouTube as I do at home, and if you have a subscription for any of the digital streaming channels I think you can log in to those. Some of the road from Pembroke to Angle (there is only one) was narrower and busier than I expected - you will need to drive or reverse into passing places quite often to let cars and tractors pass. There is a lot of farmland in this region and we sometimes encountered 3 tractors in a row! I wouldn't like to use that road at night and presumably in high season it is also much busier. As there are no shops in Angle, a visit to Pembroke is required to do food shopping etc. No milk, tea, bread or other essentials are provided at the cottage so be sure to stock up on the way. Tenby and Saundersfoot are beautiful and there are several castles in the area. There is also an interesting maritime museum in Pembroke Dock which is free to enter and has very informative volunteer staff. Colby Woodland Gardens near Amroth is also a lovely place and you only pay for parking (free for blue badge holders). So overall Mirehouse is a great holiday home, but because of the stress of the road, I would not choose Angle again.
