"Really great place to stay, very easy to walk to the town centre but just far enough out for us!"
The cottage was perfect, had everything you would need and more. The garden was brilliant, parking a plus, we really recommend this cottage.
-
"The cottage was well appointed for walking into Pembroke Town and also for visiting other areas by car."
It was easy to find and off road parking was great . The cottage was very well maintained and well equipped and the garden was secure and well kept , ideal for children or dogs. Everything in the cottage was of a very high standard and very comfortable. We loved our stay there .
-
"Excellent stay."
The property had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Well set out facilities. Garden was great for the dogs and the patio arrangements were enjoyed greatly. Rear car parking was confusing to start with but worked fine after a couple of visits. I recommend this property immensely.
-
"Absolutely lovely little cottage in the perfect place to explore Pembrokeshire."
The cottage contains pretty much everything you could need for a break away, including a very well equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms are very comfortable and the whole property is well decorated. The garden is also a lovely enclosed and tidy space. The addition of a dedicated parking space to the rear of the property is a welcome bonus.
-
"Do not be put off by the exterior view of the property or by the fact that it is in a town street."
The cottage is beautiful inside and everything is very clean and well equipped. It is so quiet and the garden is a great space that’s also totally private. Fabulous place to stay and either access the amenities and walks in the town or drive the few minutes up the road, to the best beaches in Pembrokeshire, Barafundle and Broadhaven South. Best thing of all though is the amazingly comfy bed! This was our second visit to this property and we’d love to come back again in the future.

"Beautiful bungalow within easy reach of Castle, some green space and Pembroke high street."
Secure garden area is ideal for dog owners and private parking at rear was ideal. The owner made contact with everything we needed to know and we had a lovely week of beach walks and visiting local towns and villages. Absolutely no negatives, we had a fantastic experience and hope to return.
-
"Can t fault the cottage."

-
"Beautiful little house, very well equipped in the kitchen lots of extras."
Lovely back garden for dogs. Great place for exploring the area and beaches.
-
"A very comfortable stay in a real home from home."
We would happily stay at Holly Cottage again.
-
"Had a lovely weekend in Holly cottage all the comforts of home and more, could happily stay a week next time perfect."
-
"This is the third time we have stayed at Holly Cottage."
And hopefully it will not be the last, a perfect base to visit the wonders of Pembrokeshire. As usual the cottage was in a lovely condition and being a short walk into Pembroke itself makes it handy for pub's restaurants shops etc.
-
"Holly cottage exceeded our expectations."
Very comfortable and the garden was delightful perfect to sit and enjoy a drink even in October.
-
"Great cottage everything we needed to make our holiday special ."
Thank you very much
-
"PLEASE do not be put off with the front picture of this cottage, it does it no justice at all, once parked round the back and using the track there, it becomes totally different, Garden was ideal for our escape artist Bailey, no escape there, the garden neat with seating of plenty, the cottage was so modern and beautiful inside, with more than all the appliances etc ever needed, beds were comfortable and everything was just around the corner, most coves were within 15 minute drive, and there are lots of them, we found these pretty empty too, and the views around them are mind blowing, we enjoyed Freshwater East tbh but all were Fantastic and so close…."
. we liked it so much, we cancelled Next years holiday to RE-BOOK this one, thank you Sue , from Glyn and Sue, and Bailey and Ruby the dogs x
-
"Had a great stay at Holly Cottage The property is in a quiet road is spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything you need."
An added bonus of a beautiful garden and off road parking at the back of the property.. Excellent communication from Sue throughout and we even had some milk and Welsh Cakes to welcome us. Perfect location for visiting lots of places and the town only 5 minutes walk away with shops pubs and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Although the cottage was clean and comfortable, the area of where it was was not very inspiring."
You have to park around the back in an unmade passageway as the street was very narrow outside the from. We had neighbours knocking the front door as they thought we had parked outside their house !!! Quite a run down area !!
-
"Very nice decorated little cottages that provide everything you need for a family holiday."
Owner is very accommodate and answered any questions and attend to your needs.Highliy recommend.
-
"Second time here and another wonderful stay."
Will definitely return. Many thanks Sue.
-
"Had a lovely week at Holly Cottage."
Deceptively big inside and really well equipped. The private enclosed garden gets the sun all day and off street parking was another plus. The location is ideal as a base for exploring the area. Would definitely recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back Thanks Sue
-
"A beautiful well equipped cottage."
Like a tardis! Excellent location. Had a fab week.
-
"A very generously equipped, impeccably clean and cosy little home-from-home in a very quiet little street."
Although the 2nd bedroom is fairly basic with little storage space, the beds in both rooms are gloriously comfy. Offroad parking provision is a godsend and the securely enclosed garden is a wonderfully convenient and reassuring bonus for guests with dogs. The outside space must be delightful if you are lucky enough to coincide with good weather. A fabulous base from which to explore this beautiful area.
-
"Lovely, clean, well equipped cottage!"
Walking distance to everything we needed and close enough to all the best places to go. Only niggle is there were no instructions for appliances and a guest book would have been a lovely way to share info on best places to eat, etc. We enjoyed our stay and may come back again!
-
"We had a great week at Holly Cottage."
It was very comfortable and relaxing, we loved the big kitchen and the garden for our little dog. It is in an extremely quiet lane with not external noises. We only had to drive short journeys to walk the beautiful coastpath and countryside. I've already recommended to my walking friends.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Holly cottage, it had everything we needed and more, the bed was super comfy, as was the pillows."
The kitchen had every utensil you could want, the crockery was very good quality. It was so peaceful even with the town center just 5 minutes walk away. We made use of the black rabbit club at the top of the road the staff were very welcoming to us both and our dog. I would certainly recommend the cottage to friends and family, and hopefully would like to return in the future, as we had such a good time
-
"We had a very comfortable stay at Holly cottage it was possibly the best cottage we have stayed in Sue the owner was very good we needed help with heating and she came straight around to put it right."
Sue was very helpful and gave us information on places to eat in the area. We will consider staying there again
-
"An excellently presented property which had good sized bedrooms and a lovely kitchen."
The garden was also a good size and perfect for a dog. The property was spotlessly clean and it was a pleasure to stay there. David & Sandra.
-
"Another lovely stay at Holly cottage we were very cosy despite the freezing weather."
-
"Great location, close to walks, castle and high street but very quiet."
Kitchen well equipped, lounge and bedrooms comfortable. We visited in winter but imagine the lovely enclosed garden would be a fantastic space in spring and summer. Parking at rear a real bonus too. Highly recommended!
-
"Lovely cottage and only a few minutes walk to the castle and shop's."
We will be happy to stay here in the near future.
-

"Holly cottage is an absolute gem."
This is the second time that we have stayed at the cottage. It has everything and more that you need for your holiday.The cottage although modern inside retains it's cottage feel. The beds are supper comfy. The garden is fully enclosed with excellent with good quality garden furniture. It is only a few minutes walk from the town and castle. The owners have done an excellent job on the cottage. We would highly recommend Holly cottage. We are hoping to book again for next year.
-
"Lovely cottage, very clean."
Garden lovely. Only minor criticism, sofa uncomfortable, television in bedroom kept losing signal. Would be nice to have a welcome pack with some Welsh goodies. Overall enjoyed our stay .
-
"Holly Cottage was outstanding like a home away from home everything you could wish for."
Owner Sue contacted us via E Mail prior to our arrival with key collection details and contact number if required. Holly cottage was ideal for anyone wishing to take their 4 legged friends with them. The cottage was an ideal base in which to explore the surrounding area. Would highly recommend Holly Cottage and look forward to returning to you in the near future.
-
"We had a fantastic time at Holly Cottage."
Such a clean comfortable place to stay with an extremely well thought out enclosed garden. Superbly situated as nothing is too far away and you have Pembroke castle a few minutes walk away. If like us you have dogs Freshwater East beach
-
"We absolutely loved holly cottage."
The garden was absolutely beautiful and the kitchen was very well equipped. If I could make one suggestion it would be to get curtains installed in the bedroom at the back as the room is flooded with light very early which woke my children up. Fabulous location, very quiet area. We will definitely return!
-
"Holy cottage was the perfect base for exploring Pembroke."
Close to town, but on a quiet street. The garden is beautiful, with shady places to sit, well kept lawn and plants, our dog loved it too. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, very homely.
-
"A fantastic bungalow, cozy and really functional."
Everything has been thought of to make the stay comfortable. Great communication from the owners, the bungalow is really close to the town centre and a great base for all the surrounding tourist attractions.
-
"This cottage has everything you need for a quiet peaceful stay in walking distance of Pembroke town centre."
Please note the property has a freezer not listed in Sykes description. We have enjoyed a very comfortable stay and of course the weather was kind to us which always helps. A lovely enclosed garden which is child and dog safe and your own parking space at the rear is a bonus given the narrowness of the front street. Thanks Sue Allan Jean & Tasha
-
"A wonderful cottage in a fabulous setting."
Holly Cottage is well equipped and decorated to a high standard. Everything was perfect, Sue, thank you
-
"A lovely property with careful consideration given to providing everything needed by those staying at the cottage."
Holly Cottage was carefully cleaned and all the facilities were of a high standard. The enclosed garden is well kept and was much enjoyed by our dog. Perfectly situated,just a short stroll into Pembroke centre and the castle with lovely walks available straight from the front door. Very highly recommended by those seeking a holiday to explore coast and countryside of this wonderful Welsh County.
-
"Excellent property with own parking space."
Lovely sunny garden. Close to amenities, common and castle. Within 15 minutes drive to several fantastic beaches.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location for Pembroke and surrounding areas."
A few minutes walk into town and a lovely dog walk around the castle. The cottage is beautifully furnished and not with the usual second hand furniture you sometimes get. All furniture and fixtures are first class. Good off road parking too. It was a pleasure to stay here and Sue was very helpful. We will stay here again for sure.
-
"The Bungalow was spotless on arrival and there was no smells of any previous dogs being there."
The kitchen has all the necessary fixtures and it was great to have a full size freezer as well. Beds were very comfy and the garden was excellent size to be able to sit out. The garden is also very secure if taking dogs. It was an extra bonus to have a parking space big enough for one car down the lane behind the property. I would highly recommend this property for a holiday. Thank you Sue!!!
-
"So clean and well appointed- everything that you would need."
I would suggest that the slabs on the steps are attended to - a bit loose. From the front, before you go in, it looks a bit poor, but inside it is excellent. Our dogs enjoyed the garden. Pembroke itself is a bit tired- Kings Arms is good. Watermans Arms is very friendly, as is the Hope. We had a good week!
-
"Holly Cottage is everything you would want for a relaxed holiday."
With a modern but homely feel the cottage is fully equipped and has everything you need. With a secure garden for your dogs to play in, although not unsupervised as there is a steep drop from the garden to the patio.
-

Our dog loved the walk around the castle and of course the beaches. Sue the owner was very friendly and helpful. This cottage was just what we needed for a comfortable stay.

"Cottage was a real home from home."
. Lovely decor. Really well equipped for all your needs. Was great to have a garden to enjoy the summer evenings in. My only negative was that i found the mattress a little to firm for me.
-

Sue was very helpful and the cottage was spotlessly clean . Very well equipped kitchen and close to the centre of Pembroke. The garden was lovely a perfect for a dog as very secure. Cottage overall had everything we needed for our stay.
-
"Lovely cottage within walking distance to Pembroke town."
Top class furnishings. Home from home. Lovely sunny garden to sit in. Modern kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge. Fully recommend.
-
"This is a well equipped property in a quiet street."
The outdoor facilities were appreciated. Only m#negative comments we would make are, the mattreses were too firm for a good night's sleep, and could do with a few more bins especially one in the bathroom.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage, with a very nice dog friendly garden."
Off road parking at the rear is a bonus.
-
"The property was everything we needed."
It was in a perfect location for exploring. There were two adults and a dog and the size was ideal for us. Garden was perfect for the dog, private and safe. We we lucky to have perfect weather and garden was a fabulous sun trap. The owner sue was always available for advice which was very much appreciated. I’d highly recommend Holly Cottage if your visiting Pembroke.
-
"Holly Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped."
The location is near the town centre and situated conveniently for travelling to the coast and nearby towns and beauty spots. The garden is a suntrap and very secure for our dog and there is off road parking. Sue, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful. We would recommend this cottage.
-
"Fantastic holiday cottage in a lovely location."
The owner, Sue, met us on arrival and was both friendly and helpful in pointing out all the lovely dog-friendly beaches in the area. The exceptionally-clean cottage had everything you needed and the garden was so safe and secluded for both ourselves and our dog. We would definitely recommend a stay here - you really couldn't ask for more! With activity-driven children to entertain, there is lots to do in the area. They loved the Celtic Quest Coasteering at Abereiddy and the Carew Karting at Sageston. Pembroke Castle is well worth a visit and we all enjoyed rowing around it using Paddle West Castle Row Boats - our black labrador, Bailey, was even allowed in the boat too. Fantastic holiday!
-
"A warm welcome from the owner on arrival."
Holly Cottage is very convenient for walking in to Pembroke and also for driving to the coast. I was combining a holiday break with visiting family and it was ideal. A lovely cottage, well equipped and a lovely garden to sit on the patio in the sun.
-
"We just enjoyed a perfect week at Holly Cottage."
The cottage was everything we wanted and more! Every detail had been considered and we didn't want for anything. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were SO comfy! The garden is an absolute marvel! It's fully enclosed and totally secure, which was brilliant for my dog (houdini has nothing on her). I was able to let her wander in and out as she pleased, safe in the knowledge that she couldn't come to any harm. The garden also has lovely furniture for enjoying the sunshine from morning to evening. The owner, Sue, was lovely and welcoming and gave us lots of little tips of beautiful places to see in the area, we loved everything so much that we've already booked a return visit later this year and look forward to seeing Sue again and relaxing in this gem of a home from home.

"The most lovely and relaxing few days in beautiful Pembroke."
The cottage is delightful and feels really homely and welcoming, is well equipped and is very conveniently placed to the town and train station. Sue was incredibly helpful and generous with her time and knowledge of the locality and all the delights it has to offer. I would not hesitate in coming back.

"This cottage was immaculate and well and truly exceeded expectations ."
I will certainly recommend this property to family and friends .And the owner was very helpful on the phone with any queries I had .
-
"Sue was really welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay."
The cottage was spotless, equipped with all mod-cons and provided a real home away from home. The garden in particular was really lovely and provided the perfect place for our dogs to play, sniff and lounge about in the sun.
