  Perfectly sited for easy access to shops, restaurants and South Beach which was very handy for the dog.

  Tenby is fabulous (it was our first of hopefully many visits) and I can't recommend Pembrokeshire highly enough. The cottage is comfortable but the glaring omission is the lack of a shower/2nd toilet with only a bath which would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues to negotiate. We were only 2 persons in the cottage but I can't imagine being able to have a comfortable stay if our 2 grown up children and their partners had accompanied us. Perhaps an outside shower with hot water might be an easy solution. While the cottage is comfortable and tastefully furnished, a little more attention to detail would help. There are no towel rails or hooks behind the bathroom door where to hang wet towels and more shelving in the bathroom would be useful. The basin in the bathroom is very small and trying to have a shave proved a challenge not made any easier with the lack of lighting above the basin. The kitchen/diner is a lovely space as is the enclosed outside patio. While the rustic dresser is attractive, it would be so much more practical if there were built in cupboards/shelves/drawers as the current packing space is very disorganised and there are a lack of microwave safe bowls. The lounge is comfortable with 2 large couches. An additional side table or 2 would be useful. Upstairs the bed that we slept in was comfortable but I did notice a lack of bedside tables in 1 of the rooms. Also a couple of the light bulbs had blown - again a lack of attention to detail. Although mentioned in information supplied and in other feedback, we had no problems with on street parking. In summary, this is a very well sited cottage and with a little more attention to details could be made so much better. If you don't mind a single bath and toilet for a cottage priced for 6 persons then you won't be disappointed. Finally the welcome hamper was most appreciated.

  Great location close to down centre and sea 100m to both, very comfy and everything you need for a lovely break in Tenby. Guaranteed Car Parking spot with permit included in the multi storey 200m away was ideal as in the walls of the town parking is limited and car parks can get full at peak times of year. Lovely gift pack left for us on arrival. Would be ideal for a large family, couples retreat, or 2 families of 4. 2 double bedrooms a bathroom with separate shower, a bath, sink and toilet and a separate toilet room on ground floor. The kitchen and living room is on the 1st floor. There is a double bedroom, a twin bunk bed room and another bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet on 2nd floor. We had a 5 night stay with my son & daughter with us for 2 nights on the weekend then they had to leave for work which was a shame but Me and my wife then had the whole place to ourselves for a further 3 nights and bed hopped to see which room was the best for us in future. The front ground floor bedroom is the biggest but your on the road level with anyone walking passed house able to see in if blinds are open, the bells of the church and any passing traffic on foot or car can wake you up early as windows on front are single wooden sash as this is a grade II listed building. The other bedrooms are at the rear of the property and have PVC double glazing so any noise is greatly reduced, we had best 2 nights sleep rear bedroom ground floor and can watch the stars through the roof window there. The 2nd floor bedrooms you can see the sea over the houses from the windows. I hope this review helps anyone and have a great stay at the Shipwrights like we did!

  We stayed in a lovely cottage for Christmas on Park Place, Tenby.

  This cottage we were worried might be a bit small but the way the owners had designed the cottage made it actually really spacious and all the decor was very trendy and stylish that is made the stay even better than we might of expected. The bath was very stylish and I want that exact bath now. The whole cottage was extremely clean and with all the amenities you could need from a caffetier to mixing bowls- which was great as we were baking over Christmas. Everything seemed very new so I guess we were lucky. Good outdoor space too, we did not really use as it is winter but in the summer I can only imagine it would be fab for bbq’s! Only thing I would say we missed is an extra toilet and a shower as with a full house this can get a bit annoying But no way a deal breaker as me and my family would happily come again to this lovely cottage by the sea. Also would recommend for anyone booking this cottage to put your kids in the loft bedroom as the ceilings were quite low, however again for me and my sister (in our mid to late 20’s) this was fine for a weeks break so not a massive deal breaker also. Would also like to say thank you to the owners for allowing our dog to stay, who wasn’t allowed upstairs but that is fine and the same rule in our house! But also for going the extra mile and putting up a real Christmas tree prior to our arrival and fully decorated it really did make the cottage feel like our home for Christmas! Thank you for a great stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone! It is a cosy and stylish cottage, 5mins walk to a lovely little town to wonder around and 5mins walk to the beach is just amazing!

  A flawed gem I feel.

  .. Being withing a couple minutes walk of both Sainsbury's and co op, the beach, car park and chippy is great. Nice little back yard which was ideal for our small dog. The house is generally well equipped. Beds are nice and comfy. Lounge is spacious and comfy. Wi-fi definitely a plus as cell signal is pretty hit and miss we found. Car park is close and only 25 for a week. Street is quiet in general Yes the listing mentions about the bathroom but in practice it's just not enough. Impossible for me to stand in the bath and the hand shower isn't really suitable for taking a shower. The ceiling/door heights are another issue as every door and landing passage had different heights or angles. Constantly ducking and weaving as you move around. I cracked my head sharply on the lounge one on the third day, as I misjudged the height while distracted, and it took a second day for me to feel normal again. Love the location and the house in general but for us it's a one time visit. Getting back from a day at the beach and washing all four of us plus dog just took so long. Really could also use a clothes line as the only drying rack is quite small and again not really suitable for a person house.

  Wow - all I can say is that 5 Park Place really exceeded our expectations.

  It’s so close to everything in Tenby - 5 minute walk to South Beach and 5 minutes into town. There’s a Sainsbury’s really close by which was so handy given we were self catering. The house itself is lovely - finished to a really high standard and bright, light and airy. The decor was really nice with lots of little quirky design details which made us feel really at home. We had our dog with us and everything was ideal for her - a nice back yard that was secure and had seating for us when the weather was nice. The owners sent us a fact sheet / guide to Tenby and the house a couple of weeks before we travelled and it was really helpful, recommending local places to eat etc. The did warn us that parking on the road can be difficult as there’s no residents permit with the house, however, we didn’t find it a problem at all - we were always able to park on a nearby street if not the street itself. It was our first time visiting Tenby and we loved it - it’s really got all the right ingredients - beautiful beaches and lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. We will definitely be back and would love to book 5 Park Place for our return visit!
