  • "It's great to see a property be 'as advertised' and in our opinion better than advertised."

    The grounds the cottage are on are great, our little terrier loved the adventure and sniffing. The cottage itself is in great condition, very clean and very well kitted out. The location for us was brilliant... a quick stroll to the village pub and a little more to the village shop. 10-15 minutes drive gets you to Tenby or Pembroke for bigger shops. Note that for maybe 100 yards of the walk, there's no footpath so just be sensible until you get to the footpaths! Many thanks to Natalie for the welcome and putting a few essentials in the fridge! As a couple with a pet, Willow Lodge ticked every box and you won't be disappointed!

    Thank you. You 3 were just the nicest of guests x Property Owner

  • "As noted in the visitors' book, we had a wonderful stay, so thank you."

    The beds are the most comfortable we've ever had on any holiday, and we've been on a few! Our little boy loved it. Only points to flag to the owner are: new lightbulb is needed in fridge; and the grill pan in the oven doesn't seem to like being on any shelf apart from the bottom, as it kept falling down on one side (maybe it's just me!).

    The accommodation was more than we expected. Lovely space both inside and out, also quiet and private. The lodge was really well equipped with lovely comfy beds and seating and the log burner was an added bonus for cosy evenings in. Having the outside utility room for our suitcases, the washing machine, vacuum cleaner, recycling boxes, etc was a really lovely thought. Also we have an electric car and almost directly opposite the entrance to Grandiflora were 4 double charging stations which were substantially cheaper than others we came across in town car parks. Would definitely recommend.
