• "Beautiful small flat in a lovely if remote village."

  Definitely need a car. Owner very helpful. Can thoroughly recommend for a short stay away from it all. Would be helpful if there were a few more pots.

• "Ideally situated for local walks, it looked great on Sykes’s website."

  The owners are very communicative in providing local info and instructions on how things operate within the accommodation. But… we arrived around 6pm and the hot tub was…. chilly. Texted the owners who said they’d refilled the tub at 3pm that day and it would take another 24 hours to heat to the required temperature - but this is a BIG fail when a cottage has been chosen specifically for the hot tub. On another day, the gardeners arrived, that’s fine, but they pulled the rear gate so tightly closed that we were unable to open it from our side. Faced with having to stay at home all day or climb the head-height fence (we are in our 60s), we eventually trespassed our way out through the owners’ adjoining property as we were unable to reach the owners immediately by phone. More generally, there is minimal storage space for groceries in kitchen cupboards, no washing machine (although a tatty clothes airer was provided), lounge area is dark and gloomy with untidy electrical wires hanging down the wall, the en-suite bathroom window is a sealed unit and there’s very little space to place bathroom products, the bedroom window blinds are covered in mould spots at the bottom, the conservatory window doesn’t close (security risk) and bossy notes are placed around the property. We wouldn’t return.

  Very quiet area with lots of walks and amazing beaches. After a day away we could end it with a relaxing dip in the hottub.

  Although it's attached to the property it's really private and everything just works well and the hot tub is superb. It's really well located, super quiet yet within 10 mins walk of the beach at Wisemans beach and then another 15 min walk into Saundersfoot. Great area for walking and beaches.

  The frying pan needs to be replaced as this is not fit for purpose . and some blinds in the conservatory to make it a bit more private .

• "We had a lovely break at The Briars."

  The location was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We didn't hear a peep from neighbours, traffic, workers etc for the whole week including the weekend, except for the Asda supermarket delivery driver and if we'd known he delivered locally we would have ordered a few forgotten items ourselves! We visited in November so weather was chilly but the electric radiators were brillant, even in the extension. The interior pictures in the listing are great and show how well maintained and finished the whole appartment is. Everything was spotless. There was a lovely little welcome package waiting for us when we arrived and good instructions on heating, hot tub and other essential info. The TV package was a great boon, we got to view some evening movies curled up on the comfy sofa. The full size fridge freezer was a master stroke too. No worries about wasting our holiday time to shop every couple of days. We just bought it all for the freezer before arriving, didn't need to go out again. Its worth noting that the image of the frontage is mainly the owners property. The annexe is accessed via the side gate and comprises of the ground floor of the brick portion of the house (with bedroom window visible on the left), the large glass extension attached behind, and the open plan kitchen/living room sandwiched between. The underfloor heating mentioned seems to extend to the bathroom only, wish I'd taken my slippers! The lower garden and tub are perfectly private with tall panel fencing. The hot tub was enormous and delicious to soak in after a cold walk on the seafront. Again I found it a bit difficult to tell from the picture but the tub is just outside the glass extension, you just walk around the outside of the extension to get to it. You will need footwear, or a very big leap to cross the meter or so of gravel between the path and the tub deck. We enjoyed lounging there watching the very active bird life and fearless squirrels dancing around the trees only feet away from us. The stone steps behind the tub lead up a slope to a little secret strip of grass at the top of the garden, home to a picnic table at the left end, and two loungers at the right end. The fence at the top backs onto open fields giving a nice outlook at the grazing horses. This along with the excellent planting of shrubs and trees on the slope below, gives complete privacy. The footpath to the beach was easy to find, just a short distance down the lane and it took us just 10min to walk there each day, winding through a small holiday park. We stopped at the pub next to the beach for a hot chocolate to warm up and some friendly chatter, then a further 20min walk along the promenade above the beach straight into Stepaside, a busy little town with plenty of places to eat, drink, shop for nick nacks, or pick up groceries at the tesco express or spar. On the beach front they also had a cafe, immaculate public toilets, beach sport facility and shop. Would definitely stay again.

  The Briars is located in a very quiet and lovely secluded valley which has easy access to either a coastal road or a main highway. Ten minute walk to Wiseman's bridge Inn and beach. If you prefer to walk into Saundersfoot it's approximately forty minutes easy walk on the flat coast path. The property is top quality with access to a lovely garden and hot tub.

  The property is perfect for 2 and it's really private even though it's attached to the owners property. The accommodation is very high quality, everything works well and there are great things like full sky package, glorious hot tub, comfortable furniture, including the bed. Lovely walk into Wisemans bridge and over to Saundersfoot via the 3 tunnels, or via the beaches when the tides out. Great places to visit in the car, Stackpole was the best for us, the beach at Barafundle is special - get there early and you'll feel like you have your own VIP beach. Tenby also very nice which is 15 mins drive.

  It is perfectly situated for walks to Wiseman’s Bridge, Amroth and Saundersfoot. The photographs don’t do the beautiful garden justice - it is absolutely stunning.

• "The photos do justice to the accommodation, but they are misleading as to which part of the property you actually stay in."

  The gravel path leading to your entrance at the back of the house is awkward to traverse with heavy luggage or if you are unsteady on your feet. Somewhere to place your toiletries in the shower would be useful. The Wi-Fi is excellent, but the mobile phone signal is non-existent. We had to cut our stay short due to contracting Covid (not the fault of the property in any way) so we had little chance to explore the surrounding area. Thanks to the owners for our welcome pack, which was much appreciated.

  We were sorry you had to leave our accommodation after just three days when your wife contracted COVID 19. However we were relieved that you did not stay for the week as you left the accommodation in a very dirty state! There was pasta sauce everywhere! All over the skirting boards! Every pan had been used and left in a disgusting state! You were probably the dirtiest guests who have ever stayed in our accommodation. Property Owner
