"The cottage was warm, comfortable and very welcoming."
Perfect location to walk into town or explore the surrounding area and it’s stunning scenery. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the welcome pack of wine, milk and Welsh cakes was very much appreciated. Loved the attention to detail such as the chocolate on the pillows, and the little quotes. The only criticism I would have is that you need some decent kitchen knives - the ones provided were next to useless which led to much frustration when prepping dinner. But, kitchen rage aside, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this romantic little cottage, it was just perfect.

"A beautiful little house, everything was lovely and comfy and clean."
Wonderful welcome from Gill, many thanks for the welsh cakes, wine and milk. Couldn't have wished for anything to be different, even the weather was lovely. Many thanks.

"Accuracy of directions (Hamilton Road not Plas y Fron)."
Cullendar needed, especially in Summer fir salads. Otherwise a charming cottage and excellent value considering access to facilities .
The owner of the property has confirmed that Plas y Fron is the correct directions. The owner has advised that following street signs for Hamilton Street will not lead you to the property. The owner has also informed us that a colander is now provided at the property. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"Lovely place to stay."
Convieniently close to the town center and coast path, but really quiet. Nice little welcome with Welsh pancakes, milk and wine?
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Stables."
The property was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Two minor things to note, were the lever on the toaster wouldn’t stay down when toasting and the back of one of the chairs was worn, so had to be careful when sitting back. Otherwise, lovely character property in a quiet, tucked away area, but close enough to walk into town. Great location with distant view of the sea. Beautiful area to explore. Would stay there again and would recommend to others. Thank you.
-
"Comfortable,well equipped and clean accommodation."
Lots of little personal touches which were much appreciated. The cottage is a short walk from coastal walks which have amazing views. Fishguard has a variety of pubs, coffee stops and shops. Good base for exploring the area.
-
"Very pretty cottage, and such a nice change from hotel rooms."
We felt quite spoiled with a kitchen, living room and loft in addition to the usual bedroom and bathroom. Great location, not far from the train station and close to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Foot Path, which is what we came for. Stunning views, if you’re a hiker you’ll love it here. We met the owners as we were leaving, lovely friendly people. They added such thoughtful touches in the cottage - a bottle of wine and Walsh biscuits/cookies come to mind. We had to help the taxi drivers find the place, which was challenging since we’d never been there before. Not sure what you can do about that … send them all a map? We give the bed an 8 out of 10 for comfort and size, but everything else was perfect. Plenty of hot water, plenty of outlets (none in the bathroom though, is that a UK thing?), nice warm bedding, big towels.
-
"Fabulous little conversion with a skylight room we used for reading and doing jigsaws when the weather wasn't quite so good."
Little patio space overlooking a pretty, well looked after, allotment with the hills and sea view in the background. The owners had even provided a sat nav in the kitchen cupboard. We already had one but very useful as there are leaflets with sights to see and postcodes underneath.
-
"An excellent, welcoming and comfortable property."
. Had a smile on my face within seconds of walking in.. Property was exactly what I needed and had a very welcoming feel to it.. Living space very comfortable and a lovely small outside space to rear.. Fully equipped kitchen, excellent bathroom and decent sized bedroom with a very comfortable bed.. Private off street parking, nice quiet location but only a few minutes stroll to the main street.. Really excellent property and one I would not hesitate to return too..
-
"This cottage is great, even has a sea view , in a quiet location, though only 10 minutes walk to pubs and restaurants."
Close to coastal path, and would love to stay again sometime.
-
"We were very happy with our stay at the Old Stables."
It was a really convenient base for us as we came by train and used public transport during our stay. We had some lovely treats left for our arrival including a bottle of wine and some welsh cakes. The Stables was lovely and clean, comfortable and spacious for a couple and we had several meals out in the rear courtyard overlooking allotments and a distant sea view.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Stables."
We definitely felt the love and care taken in providing a most comfortable and enjoyable stay.
-
"Once again, The Old Stables provided the perfect base from which to explore the delightful county of Pembrokeshire."
After venturing outside, it was always a real pleasure to return to such warm, welcoming accommodation, so thoughtfully fitted out and maintained by Gill, the owner. Nothing was spared and we can heartily recommend The Old Stables for anyone wanting a truly relaxing experience in real comfort.
-
"A wonderfully welcoming and comfortable property, with excellent provisions and facilities."
We would definitely consider staying there again.
-
"A comfortable, well equipped, clean and tidy bolt-hole on the outskirts of the town."
A quiet location but within a few minutes walk of the town centre and ideal for a retired couple such as ourselves, walking sections of the coast path. The 'snug' on the upper floor is a nice feature but take care, it's only reachable by an almost ladder like staircase. Overall though, one of the best cottages we've stayed in.
-
"The Old Stables was very comfortable."
..just one or two things. There was not TV in the loft bedroom as stated in the details. There was no detailed information in the property itself. Leaflets about places to visit etc but that was all. Usually local information in all other properties we've stayed in. We took the bedding off & put it all in the bathroom hoping that was OK. Otherwise a lovely property ☺️
-
"Lovely cottage with everything we needed."
-
"Nice cottage no real issues."
More than happy with stay facilities and locatoon
-
"Well appointed cottage, very near to shops and walks."
Great for a calm, stress reducing holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"This is our third stay at the The Old Stables , we have been coming to Fishguard for 10 years and this has been easily the best place we have stayed along with our dog ."
Fishguard is a lovely dog friendly place where pretty much all the cafes, shops and restaurants allow dogs in . We were planning to book more stays here as we like to come three times a year if possible but we’re saddened to find that dogs are no longer welcome at the Old Stables which has left us looking for some alternative accommodation somehow
-
"Great stay in a well equipped, comfortable, clean, well situated, quiet cottage."
-
"Very welcoming place to visit, extremely helpful owner, and perfect facilities for what we needed."
We’ll definitely be looking to return again next winter!
-
"Lovely converted stables, had a lovely week."
A few little extras in the kitchen would be nice, garlic press, cafetière, a few oven proof cooking dishes, very basic kitchen, but workable. The internet was very poor, unable to use any iPlayer Chanel’s, kept chucking us out. Netflicks would have been nice. Lovely welcome package which is always appreciated. Better directions on finding the property would be welcome, trying to find a pink house in the dark wasn’t easy.
-
"The Old Stables provided superb accommodation for our short break in this delightful part of the country."
The owner, Gill, has clearly put in a great deal of hard work to make the cottage comfortable, well equipped and very cosy. Returning after a day out was a pleasure - home from home. We are looking forward immensely to returning.
-
"We have stayed here before and enjoyed it so much we decided to return."
A comfortable, cosy cottage with a nice welcome pack from the owners, including fresh flowers. The only thing missing we found was a casserole type receptacle for the oven.
-
"We found ‘The Old Stables’ an ideal property for the two of us to stay and discover some of what Pembrokeshire had to offer - fabulous coast and countryside and plenty of historic castles etc."
Everything was provided for a comfortable stay and location was a ten minute walk to the coast / centre of town. We did have beautiful weather for the whole week and enjoyed using the small sitting area at the back of the house.
-
"I feel the image of the parking space is misleading, I booked with our dog and was expecting this to be the enclosed outdoor space referred to in the description."
Not hugely important but would be good to add kitchen scissors and a mixing jug. Absolutely wonderful location, but the cottage itself didn’t suit us due to lack of outdoor space.
-
"I sent a detailed email to you regarding the inaccuracies of the description on your website and our experience."
I received a generic reply from you which did not address the points I raised. I did not expect this from a professional company like yours which has years of valuable property experience. This was very disappointing and did not reflect the professionalism I expected.
-
"Such a lovely welcoming place to stay, we loved the added feature of the little dog bed and blanket that was left too."
Perfect location and so relaxing, we would highly recommend staying here!!
-
"We thought this is a really comfortable cottage."
Had everything that we needed for a very comfortable stay. Perfectly placed for exploring the west Wales and Pembrokeshire coastline which is beautiful. We all loved the welcome pack, it was appreciated by everyone including our dog! We also thought that Fishguard was a really friendly town with lots of interesting walks and pubs. At the end of a long day we had a lovely base to come back to you with comfortable sofas and a very comfortable bed. We would definitely like to come back for another stay.
-
"As soon as I walked into The Old Stables I felt instantly at home and was very comfortable there in no time at all."
Cleanliness was excellent and everything you could possibly want for your stay was provided (note, there is no washing machine but that wasn't a problem for me). The wifi was good and streaming on the smart tv was faultless. The mobile signal was fine (I'm with Plusnet/EE) but it worked better in the bedroom. Although the available outdoor 'garden' space is small, it is still very pleasant to sit out there and appreciate the views across the allotments to the sea and Dinas Head ... and the birds singing too. A much appreciated welcome pack of wine and welsh cakes, plus milk, was provided. It's only a 10min walk into the town with a decent pub (Royal Oak) and takeaways nearby. There is a large Coop supermarket 5mins away by car. The Old Stables is a great base for touring Pembrokeshire, with most places you'd want to visit within a half hour drive, and Tenby is only an hour away. I spent a very happy week here and can highly recommend The Old Stables.
-
"Very clean and comfortable property with all of the facilities accurately described."
I liked the fact that my dog was catered for as well with a dog bed, her own food bowls and treats! Thanks. Would recommend the property without reserve - conveniently located on the edge of Fishguard with good parking.
-
"Despite being just off a residential street on the edge of Fishguard, The Stables was delightful, quiet and as it opened onto very well tended allotment gardens and fields beyond not at all overlooked, you felt you were in the countryside."
The cottage was just what we needed for a short break. The old harbour of Lower Town in Fishguard was a revelation, perfect to sit at the end of the day and watch the sun disappear, it was hard to believe there was a ferry port beyond the headland. Perfect place to relax.
-
"Characterful, quiet retreat but close to the town, pubs and restaurants."
The cottage was clean and equipped with everything needed for our stay. Nothing was overlooked. The welcome gifts of wine, Welsh cakes and even treats for our dog were really appreciated. Would definitely rebook and would recommend to family and friends
-
"The property was well equipped and spotless being dog friendly was a bonus,, the only thing missing was perhaps a washing machine."
When the kitchen is re arranged ( the owner indicated this is something she would like to do) The area is nice and quiet , it was only a short walk down hill to the supermarket and pub which served a good menu
-
"Lovely little house good location to explore the area and comfortable walk into town."
It had all I needed while staying and nice to have the gifts left. Would look at using this property again if looking at staying in the area.
-
"Perfect. Very welcoming."
Comfortable, warm and well equipped. Ideally situated for us to visit relatives.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the stables and appreciated the wine and cakes that greeted us, it was cosy and had great views across to Dinas Head."
It was an easy walk to the town square where we discovered the true tale of the Welsh women who captured the French that I learned at school.
-
"Brilliant little cottage everything was there that was needed and was very clean, wouldn't hesitate to stay again."
Great location 10min walk into town.
-
"O what a fabulous little gem of a place I would highly recommend staying at ..."
O what a fabulous little gem of a place I would highly recommend staying at this gem of a place you won't regret it and a stone's throw from a lovely harbour town of fishguard 10/10
-
"Well located, quiet and clean."
Enjoyed our stay and would happily use this cottage again.
-
"Quiet cosy cottage on the outskirts of the town had a great holiday break ."
Dog friendly and many thanks for welsh cakes
-
"One of the most lovely places i have stayed would highly recommend"
-
"Key safe did not work, had to open with a flint stone, rang owner on day of arrival and apparently she is aware, after looking through the visitors book this has been like it since 2019 so needs attention."
No information at all in the cottage on where to put all your recyling on leaving, only one dust bin outside. All in all cottage was fine and the weather made it a lovely holiday.
-
"Lovely cottage is a lovely quiet location."
The cottage was spotless and well equipped. Fishguard was a nice little town to explore.
-
"Lovely property."
very recommended. could do with providing additional towels and the ideal scenario would be a washing machine.
-
"The old stables is a lovely, clean and comfortable cottage surrounded by beautiful scenery and tranquility."
Upon arrival at the cottage, we were welcomed with a bunch of flowers, welsh cakes and a bottle of wine from the owners. The owners also left us useful items such as toilet roll, fresh milk, washing liquid. The cottage was immaculately cleaned and tidy. The location is great too. We found our way around pretty quickly and easily. The neighbours are very lovely and friendly too. I would definitely like to visit again.
-
"Fab location, gorgeous property and lovely little touches to make our stay extra special."
Thank you x
-
"Cottage was in a good location."
It was spacious and very clean. The only thing missing was a welcome pack recommending places of interest, places to eat etc. Also no information about the cottage and where we could put rubbish etc
-
"Owner was lovely, with personal touches."
Mattress a bit hard for us, but that is a personal thing that we usually encounter.
-
"This barn conversion had the personal touch of the owners ."
There were many unexpected extras provided and this made it extra special. Very cosy very comfortable and would certainly book again
-
"Beautiful coast walks and beaches."
This is a wonderful stone cottage with modern decor and well equipped self-catering items available. Nice gas hob with oven, toaster, kettle, small fridge with freezer compartment and all pans and dishes. We were surprised with flowers, wine and dog treats for our dog. There is small enclosed garden looking onto an allotment and beyond hills of cattle and the sea. Right size for a couple plus single bed in loft for older child. Smart TV and WiFi. We enjoyed our stay very much. This is very quite spot but has restaurant and pub nearby. Also had medium size dog bed.
-
"Comfortable, convenient little cottage on outskirts of Fishguard."
Only about 15mins walk to upper town and take aways if you don't fancy cooking. Turn up the hill and you are straight out into the Preseli hills with easy access to north west Pembrokeshire. Lovely area which we hope to visit again.
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage."
..well situated ..we really enjoyed our stay ..definitely hoping to rebook in the future.
-
"Very nice cosy cottage in a good location to enjoy all that Fishguard and the surrounding area has to offer."
Also, some really nice welcome touches of wine, cakes and treats for the dog! One minor issue is the mattress could do with an update.
-
"As above all spot on"
-
"Beautiful little cottage, well equipped."
Welcome gifts were smashing. Cleaning, disinfecting, sanitising Products supplied were exceptional even in these COVID-19 times. Would recommend this property to anyone.
-
"Quiet fantastic setting wonderful views truly an oasis."
All this in the middle of the most violent weather Storm Dennis. Truly a testimony to Welsh building.
-
"The cottage was warm and comfortable when we arrived ( unlike last year's booking !"
! ). The owner had left some "goodies" for us, including a few non-essentials. There were plenty of kitchen requisites, tea, coffee, sugar, milk etc and cleaning materials. All in all, one of the best prepared properties we have come across; and also the only owner in 40+ years of renting who has ever contacted us to say thankyou for leaving the property in a properly cleaned condition
-
"Lovely Place second time there - Lovely gestures by the owners with Xmas ..."
Lovely Place second time there - Lovely gestures by the owners with Xmas presents - thank you we will book again in 2020 Regards Phil and Judy
-
"Lovely little gem, cosy and quiet."
Fishguard is a quiet town surrounded by lovely walks and beaches.
-
"Reallly great welcome with flowers, cakes and wine."
Cottage was very clean, down a very quiet lane, with view of the sea.? If taking a dog people need to be aware that the outside space is very small 8’x 2’. We did miss not having washing machine and dish washer,
Thank you for your feedback comments. I can confirm that the size of the outside space is 15' x 6'. The property isn't advertised with a washing machine or dishwasher. We hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

"The ease with which we booked The Old Stables with yourselves , and the regular updates on how long it was to our holiday , I can only commend Sykes on their professionalism and endeavour to make sure that all expectations are met for the customer ."
As for our recent accommodation in Fishguard , at The Old Stables , it was a sheer pleasure to walk in and find a beautiful , clean , well equipped property , the owner has gone above and beyond to make it seem home from home , and thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home .

"Lovely cottage in a nice location, host was very welcoming and accommodating"
-
"A lovely property to stay in, very clean, well-equipped & comfortable."
In a quiet location with pleasant outlook, yet just a few minutes walk from facilities in the centre of Fishguard. Well located to explore this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. Friendly, thoughtful owner.
-
"Extremely well presented accommodation as advertised."
The little extras made a difference, the welcome pack for the guests including our dog were delightful. I will be returning as it was exactly what I wanted in terms of location and for a week away to chill out and discovering West Wales .
-
"There was little space to sit out at the front of the property because our car had to be parked there otherwise it would have blocked access to an adjacent property."
The access stairs to the mezzanine was very steep which would not be safe for a young child or a senior citizen. The property itself was fine and well equipped but we thought it was let down by the outdated bathroom. The electric shower and glass concertina shower door were really outdated and not in good condition. There was also a lack of support in the shower for older people getting in and out of the bath/shower.
-
"What a lovely cottage."
After a long drive (we took the wrong turning in Snowdonia!) it was lovely to be greeted with a bunch of flowers, a bottle of wine and 4 home baked cakes. What a welcome. We would go back in an instant.
-
"Good location for touring in Pembrokeshire."
No nearby short walks for dogs. Thoughtful treats for us and our dog on arrival.
-

An excellent base camp for the pembrokshire coastal walks - 5 minute walk to a co-operation shop The cottage was quiet and kep the atmostphere of a holiday Fishguard people are friendly - though a few empty shops which is always a shame - the area seems to be trying very hard We will book again for sure Most likely this coming Christmas
