Guests say
Dilys Cottage in Tenby offers a cosy, rural retreat with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable main bedroom. Its location is ideal for exploring Pembrokeshire's stunning coastline and historical sites. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and the proximity to local amenities, though some noted the property could benefit from modernisation and a thorough cleaning.
Several reviews mention a need for a deep clean, with reports of dust, cobwebs, and unclean kitchen appliances. The presence of dirt and a smell of damp in some rooms suggests that cleanliness is below expectations.
The cottage is praised for its excellent location, convenient for visiting beaches, castles, and local pubs. Its rural setting is appreciated for tranquillity and proximity to natural beauty.
The main bedroom bed is described as super comfy, and the cottage is considered cosy and warm. However, some guests reported issues with draughts and a smell of damp, indicating room for improvement in overall comfort.
Guests are satisfied with the kitchen appliances and powerful shower, but there are concerns about maintenance, such as broken glass, unsafe wiring, and a lack of sharp knives. Wi-Fi connectivity is also inconsistent.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Dilys is well situated between Tenby, Pembroke and the surrounding area.The owner is lovely.The cottage itself could do with subtle changes. It needs updating and a good dust.The Wi-Fi was hit and miss, with more miss than hit.The lounge/living room windows sound like someone’s playing an accordion when the wind blows, but it’s cosy and warm, with a powerful upstairs shower.However no details on how to leave the property when it’s time to leave.
