"Lovely apartment over looking The Mill Pond in Pembroke."
Nicely furnished, but we found the bedrooms very cramped for space. In our double bedroom, only half of what looked like a huge wardrobe would open. The beds, though very new, weren’t very comfortable, but the biggest problem was the very busy road running alongside the apartment. The secondary glazing cut out most noise, but when the bedroom got too warm and the window was opened the traffic noise was extreme.
The beds and mattresses were fairly expensive and good quality from John Lewis and other guests have said they were very comfortable. The apartment is in central Pembroke but is triple glazed, with limited noise audiable unless windows are open. We cannot do much to increase the size of the property but at sub £25 per person, per night in the summer holidays and half that out of season we feel it's priced very fairly. Property Owner

"Just finished a lovely week in Cornstore Cottage, the cottage/ flat was clean, cosy and comfortable."
The location was great with lovely views of the castle, the cottage is near the busy road but with the windows closed the noise was kept out. The hosts sent clear and comprehensive information ahead of the visit. The undercover parking spot was tight but we managed to get our SUV in with care. Would definitely recommend.

"A delightful property, brilliant location overlooking Pembroke Castle, clean, modern, comfortable, and very well equipped."
It is close, but not on a busy road, however triple glazing keeps the traffic noise out. We enjoyed a fabulous week here and would have no hesitation to recommend it.

"Great location for touring Pembrokeshire."
Comfortable, good value, welcoming, clean and clear information. Well equipped... perhaps a grab rail for getting out of bath? Parking spot v tight. Pleasant views from cottage.

Lovely views of the castle from the cottage. Would recommend to others.

"Perfect cottage."

"Very good communication from owners."
Great location for exploring Pembrokeshire and the cottage was exactly as advertised. Comfy bed and excellent cleanliness throughout, which are so important when staying in a rental property. We loved the very thorough visitors guide with QR codes in, a really nice touch! Would recommend to friends

"We had a lovely stay."
The cottage was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. Good communication with the owners. The location is central for exploring charming Pembroke and the local area. Lovely places to eat nearby. Would happily return.

"Ben &Sarah were very good at keeping us informed ."

"Lovely cottage - spotlessly clean and with everything we needed."
Parking is a bit tight (so don't take a big car!), but it's off-road and sheltered. A little noisy with traffic, but the bonus is that everything is within easy walking distance and you can see the castle and the water from the lounge window. Hosts mades sure everything ran smoothly and I appreciated having a mobile number for any issues (there weren't any). We had a great week away.

"We had a really wonderful time staying at Cornerstore Cottage."
It’s in such a lovely location, with a fantastic cafe just round the corner! This is certainly coffee with a view!! The property was very very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved coming back after a busy day exploring to just relax in the cottage. Highly recommend this Sykes accommodation! First class. Thank you

"We had a lovely stay at cornstore cottage."
A beautiful well situated home. It was clean and quiet and had everything we could want. Ive wanted to go to Pembrokeshire for many years and the area didnt dissapoint.
-
"Excellent property, fully recommend."
Great position and view. Every thing you need is there. Great pub on the doorstep. Owners extremely helpful.
-
"Very happy with our stay at the Cornstore Cottage."
Owners were very spot on with info and lovely welcome treats. The location is ideal for exploring the West of Wales. Pembroke itself was great base with castle and walks around the town. Visits to St David's and Tenby coasts easily possible on day trips so plenty to do.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Cornstore Cottage, it is a very clean, well maintained and modern property that the owners have clearly taken great efforts to decorate and furnish to a high standard for a very comfortable stay."
Its in a great location to walk around the millpond to pubs, shops and cafe's of Pembroke, but also to explore the beautiful scenery of the Pembrokeshire National Park (we loved Bosherton, The Green Bridge, St Govans, Barafundle Bay and Stackpole Quay, plus day trips to St Davids, Colby Gardens and Tenby. We especially liked being able to walk to the Cornstore Cafe for breakfast and afternoon tea, had takeaways from the chinese and fish & chip shops nearby. We hope to stay in this lovely property again.

"Cornstore Cottage is a very comfortable and beautifully furnished property with a lovely view of Pembroke castle."
It has a well equipped modern kitchen and is a very short walk to local shops etc. The covered car park to the rear of the property has a designated spot which should be fine for all but the largest vehicles. For those interested in history Pembroke castle is well worth a visit. The Cornstore Cafe literally a stones throw away is a cosy place for coffee and cake and light lunches and on a sunny day it’s tables by the river are a super place to relax. Pembroke itself was small but has everything you may need and the larger supermarkets are a few minutes by car. The nearby beaches are absolutely stunning and not to be missed and for those interested in wildlife a trip to Skomer Island is a memorable experience. The owners Ben and Sarah kept us well informed of changeover details etc and were super hosts.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castle view."
Everything worked well, from the initial contact with Ben and Sarah, the much appreciated welcome pack, and the text as we left to check that everything was ok. The apartment was clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The secondary double glazing kept the place warm and stopped most of the traffic noise from the nearby busy road. Parking in the allocated space was a little tight, but other than that everything was perfect for us.
-
"A bright, comfortable, warm modern cottage with everything we could need for an enjoyable stay."
Owners provided a welcome pack (I am now addicted to Welsh Cakes!!), lots of local information and were easily contacted if needed. Ideally located for exploring Pembroke and the wider area, St David’s, Tenby, Saundersfoot and beautiful beaches. We can thoroughly recommend Castle View.
-
"Comfortable, well-equipped and nicely decorated terraced apartment very close to Mill Pond, the Castle and the centre of Pembroke."
Large wall mounted TV with range of services. The NISA mini-supermarket three minutes up the road is well-stocked and has a good fish and chip shop. Close to bus stops and 15 minutes’ walk torailway station. The little Coastal Cruiser buses and the stopping train to Swansea give access to various points on the Coastal Path, so that you can start at one point and get the bus back from another. Car not required. Some great walks - Saundersfoot to Tenby (railway stations), Freshwater West to Angle (buses), and Bosherton to Stackpole Quay (buses) coastal walks are great. The Bosherton Lily ponds can be included in the walk to Stackpole. We enjoyed the Pembroke Castle guided tour.
-
"We loved the cottage and it was very well equipped with good quality goods."
It was in a good position in Pembroke but a little dissopointed with the veiw. We found it to be a very warm cottage and had to keep the windows open at all times. I have an mobility issue but found the over the shower bath very good with the help of a suction handle which I take away with me. (Perhaps provide one) A couple of good pubs in walking distance, and the church on the high street for coffee the ladies are lovely and full of local knowledge and the history of Pembroke . The owner where very helpful have one of the best information folder for a cottage we have ever been in. We would return .

"A wonderful stay here in August 2022, beautifully luxuriously decorated, modern and spotlessly clean, Ben and Sarah obviously like to go that little bit further to make your stay extra special."
They provided milk, tea, coffee, (for the tassimo machine !) which made my day, as I love this and never expected that. Shortbread and welsh cakes which both of my children love. Also basic Cleaning stuff too. A really nice touch. My children 10 and 13 loved the brand new game provided by Ben and Sarah - Monolopy for Sore Losers, again a nice touch. The property has everything you need if you wanted to cook here, or there are plenty of takeaways and pubs for great food. This is a beautiful property, with its own parking under cover. Ben contacted me direct to ask if we needed anything on arrival and let him know we had arrived safely. A fantastic place to explore beautiful Pembrokeshire. First time we have been here and we will be back. Thank you Ben and Sarah.

"We have just returned from a lovely week at Castle View."
We enjoyed visiting the stunning beaches in this area, including Tenby, Freshwater West and Pendine Sands, the castles in Pembroke and Manorbier, and St David's Cathedral. I have not been to Pembrokeshire before - I was inspired to come after watching Michael Portillo's Great Coastal Railway Journeys, and it was well worth it. Castle View is a modern apartment, with, as its name suggests, a view of the castle from the lounge window. The apartment is set up with good quality furnishings and lots of kitchen equipment, clean and nicely decorated, good wifi and a booklet with information for guests. The only slight drawbacks are that the flat is just off the main road through the town, so there is some traffic noise when the windows are open, but it was quiet at night, and the parking space is on the narrow side. But these are only minor niggles and we would be very happy to stay here again. Ben the host was very helpful when I had to text him over a minor issue (couldn't find the mains switch for the washing machine) and when we left my daughter's toy behind, he posted it to us the same day. Thank you, Ben and Sarah, for a lovely week.

"Car parking is tight especially has my wife is disabled"
-
"Apartment was spotless."
Owner was easy to get hold of and helpful. He also facilated early access to apartment for us. The treats upon arrival was a lovely touch and appreciated. Apartment is in a good location. Hard to sleep at night in hot weather if u leave windows open as early morning traffic very noisy. The kickboard in the kitchen kept falling down on our feet so we left it down. We had great difficulty removing the plug from the bath to release water after a shower. We gave feed back to owner.
We ask all guests to contact us if they experience any issue, as being local we can often address most things the same day. However we didn’t receive any feedback in respect of these issues prior to now, the bath plug is fully working and is remotely operated via twisting the bath overflow and we will look at the plinth. The flat is in central town which is a bit noisier but it’s double glazed with secondary glazing to ensure that despite this it’s a peaceful place to stay, although with windows open you would hear some traffic.

"The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped."
Lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee for the machine, sugar, milk, welsh cakes and shortbread. Convenience store in walking distance, also the beautiful castle. We had a very nice Sunday roast in The Watermans Arms, just across the road. Thank you Ben and Sarah. Susan and John, Colchester, Essex.

"Ideal location at the heart of Pembroke overlooking the castle."
Great base from which to explore the local area
-
"The property was very well-situated and laid out."
It was modern, spotlessly clean, newly-refurbished, with all amenities in good working order. It was not easy to locate, e.g. the car park space was in the cul-de-sac below, with the numbering in random order, which was not the owners' fault. They were easily contactable by telephone and text, and we're very polite and friendly. A welcome pack of tea, milk, Welsh cakes and biscuits were provided, which was appreciated.
-
"Property is excellently situated close to the heart of Pembroke and its many amenities."
The pre-arrival instructions were very clear and detailed, and on arrival the property was immaculate, clean and well equipped. The car parking space was essential and although a bit tight (next to a column) our Astra fitted fine. It's proximity to pubs and eateries was a huge bonus, and we had two excellent meals at the closest place, The Watermans Arms.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your comments, The car park space is a standard size single and our Volvo V90 Estate just fits, but anything wider than that might struggle. There is a large public car park in Pembroke which costs £25 for a week if anybody has a very large car / camper or wishes to bring a second car on holiday with them. Property Owner

"Really comfortable stay at Castle View."
Everything we needed was provided and the property was spotlessly clean. Perfect location for exploring Southern Pembrokeshire. Very good choice of places to eat in Pembroke and the surrounding villages. Particularly liked Stackpole Inn with wonderful food and nearby walks to Barafundle Bay and Bosherton Lakes and lily ponds. We would return to Castle View without hesitation.
-
"Lovely modern apartment which was clean/tidy, with all the necessary appliances."
Everything felt new / barely used. Property owners were friendly and helpful. Tesco, aldi, McDonald’s, b&m and kfc only 5 mins away…petrol station 30 seconds away. Plenty of local takeaways, pubs and Co-op just a few minutes walk from the apartment. The location of the apartment was perfect for exploring Pembrokeshire. So much to see and do in the area for myself, my partner and 8 year old. We will definitely be back as we didn’t tick everything off our to do list, and we would happily stay at Castle View again.

"We had a fab holiday at castle view small issue with hot water but owner explained about boiler lovely flat well furnished all mod cons everything within walking distance lots of pubs takeaways the castle was a fantastic visit tenby and saunderfoot and stackpole quay were great days out would highly recommend a break here."
Thank you for the positive feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The hot water system is a modern, mains pressure, electrically heated system, with a very large capacity 180L hot water tank. This has been serviced in February 2022 to ensure ongoing reliable operation for our guests. Property Owner

"Perfectly located, easy access to town and environs."
Everything in property for a great holiday. Clean. Helpful hosts.
-
"Lovely place to stay and owners really friendly and helpful."
Welsh cakes on arrival were a nice touch. Nice food at the Royal George within short walking distance & Pembroke Castle (view from the cottage) was worth a visit. Would stay here again.
-
"A lovely modern and very clean apartment."
Very well equipped and comfortable. Very close to amenities and the castle The whole booking was very well managed from start to finish. The host easily contactable and extremely helpful.
-
"Once again a great stay at this very comfortable property and although the weather was not good it's proximity to the town and surrounding countryside makes it ideal for a relaxing break."
-
"Great little house!"
Spotlessly clean with all modern facilities available. Ideal for Pembroke Castle and the town and close to all Pembrokeshire attractions and beaches. Great communications from the host. Highly recommended.
-
"We enjoyed staying at Castle View very much."
It was clean, comfortable and close to shops and eateries. Lovely welcome pack on our arrival which was much appreciated. In fact we were so comfortable there that we checked if this property was going to be empty following our week, it was, because had it not been we might have tried to bag another week. No hesitation in recommending Castle View.
-
"From initial email from the owners regarding key collection and additional information regarding the apartment and area made the holiday stay perfect."
The welcome pack was very good and the apartment and facilities provided were excellent . It is very central for exploring the surrounding area and would also be good just stay in the cottage and relax . We would certainly look to stay again September 2021
-
"The apartment was very well equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay."
The welcome pack of milk, jam and Welsh cakes was very welcome! The apartment is well situated to explore Pembroke with plenty of takeaway/pub food options nearby.
-
"Lovely property pictures really don’t do it justice, very clean & everything you could need including milk, bread, butter, welsh cakes & jam on arrival - lovely touch."
Very well placed for places to eat including the lovely cafe next door (Corn store) who do tasty breakfast rolls and very naughty cakes, brilliant Chippy (Rowlies) and fab pizza place (Peppees) and 2 nice pubs with really friendly staff, However on saying all this it is based in a small quiet place overlooking Pembroke Castle. Parking is provided but spaces are snug, there is also a pay and display car park only a few minutes walk. We will definitely go back as we really enjoyed our stay - thanks Ben & Sarah
-
"A lovely little apartment that is well placed to explore the local area."
It was clean, comfortable and well stocked (nothing more annoying than staying in a self catering cottage that only supplies 1 toilet roll and no washing up liquid). Be aware if you have a large car that the allocated parking space might be a bit tight. Highly recommend eating at The Waterman’s Arms (just across the road) and ordering takeaway from Rowlie’s Fish & Chips and Peppe’s Pizza (warning, the portions are huge!). A trip to Barafundle Bay is a must (approx 15 min drive) but be sure to get there early to secure a place in the car park, rarely any spaces left after 10am!
-
"The apartment was excellent, very well equipped to a high standard."
Location was excellent, within a short distance to the castle, pubs/restaurants and walks around the millpond. We would highly recommend this apartment.
-
"This was our first trip to Pembrokeshire and Castle view was the ideal location for us to stay in."
The flat itself is beautiful. Has all the facilities you could possibly need (personally I love the fact it has a washer/dryer as we have come home with no washing to do). Beds were very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space for your clothes. It was lovely to arrive to a fresh loaf of bread, milk and some Welsh cakes too. The location of the flat is ideal, perfect for getting to Tenby, Saundersfoot and also getting north to Broad Haven. Step out of the flat and the views of the castle are lovely. Couple of local pubs that do nice homemade food and they are so welcoming. The fish and chip shop round the corner is the best we have had. Overall it was a perfect break for our family which was much needed. Ben and Sarah were so helpful before and during our stay. We will definitely return.
-
"Great location in a beautiful part of Wales."
-
"Lounge chairs not very comfortable for sitting in the evenings."
Sofa good. Location of property very good for Pembroke and visiting surrounding areas. Easy to travel further afield. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore Pembrokeshire.
-
"Lovely apartment, beautiful walks around the mill pond."
-
"Clean, very comfortable and well appointed, Castle View is an ideal rent for a totally relaxing break."
Located in the most attractive location of Pembroke overlooking the castle and convenient for both country and coastal visits this has to be a must return to property!
-
"Clear communication with owners and Sykes."
Lovely property, spotlessly clean. All attractions and beaches within easy drive. Would highly recommend.
