"Good location within walking distance of Tenby town centre."
Very well equipped and comfortable property. Welcomed by the owner who gave us good local advice. Really generous welcome pack. One of the best holiday properties I've stayed in.

"Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at The Boathouse!"
It is such a beautiful place to stay and has everything you could possibly need. I would 100% recommend this property and will definitely stay again if we come back to Tenby. Our children were sad to leave our 'wales house', as were we - what a wonderful holiday we had! 5*

Quite a drive to the famous stunning beaches ( Freshwaters, Barfundle (??)) but worth it. Lovely pub at Angle Bay “ Point House”

A very welcoming and comfortable property equipped with everything you could want for a family holiday.

We would definitely stay here again.

"This was our second holiday at The Boathouse, Tenby - booked through Sykes Cottages."
We love both the Boathouse and the beautiful setting of Tenby - only a 15 minute walk away. Facilities are brilliant and it truly is a very comfortable and extremely well-appointed home-from-home. Everything you can think of has been thoughtfully provided by the friendly hosts Tanya and Pete, and their kind and generous welcome is outstanding. We love it!

I would suggest the inclusion of of a non slip mat in the downstairs shower, as it provided to be a bit slippy at times. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

The generous parking space adjacent to the property was a big advantage. It was handy having a supermarket within walking distance, and there was easy access to routes out of the town to explore the local area.

"Nice and comfortable, well equipped, the only downside for us was not having a wardrobe in the bedrooms."
the bedroom nearer the bathroom ,a wardrobe would fit where the large chest of doors are- substitute this for a bedside table ( the wardrobe being in the space outside the 2 bedrooms) Other than that, a very nice property
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Boathouse and the Tenby area. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the location of the wardrobe at this time. Property Owner

"A great place to stay and within easy reach of the picturesque little seaside town of Tenby."
A “unique” cottage with most of the living space on the first floor, with lofty ceilings and enjoying oodles of daylight from lots of rooflights. Very nice little touches everywhere shows that the owners take pride in The Boathouse and want every guest to enjoy their stay! Thank you! We definitely want to return!

"We loved our stay at The Boathouse."
The property is in a nice secluded location, was immaculately clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. Just a 10 minute (hilly) walk into Tenby this was a great base for visiting locally and further afield. We can't wait to return!

"Beautiful cottage, booked for my Mum's 80th birthday."
Weather was miserable on some days, but the cottage was lovely to relax in when it was pouring down with rain. Everything thought about regarding kitchen contents to make your stay comfortable. Loved meeting the owners dogs :-)
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review, we are pleased you enjoyed your birthday celebrations in Tenby, shame about the rain, but we are pleased you enjoyed your stay anyway. I am sure Darcy and Rosie enjoyed meeting you too, they are very sociable - even if a little vocal ;o) Property Owner

"Really lovely, comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen."
Two shower rooms, one with a bath, both with toilets. All fittings and furniture are modern and in keeping with the style of the building. Garden area well kept and generous size. Parking area conveniently next to the accommodation. All in all an excellent choice in a peaceful area of Tenby, but only a few minutes from all the facilities Tenby has to offer. Highly recommended.

"We loved this property."
The downstairs shower was so powerful and both bathrooms were very nicely appointed. If you like a hard mattress then you’ll love the bed. For us we could have done with a topper. Great facilities including a dishwasher, washer and dryer - we didn’t need to use them but it’s nice to have the option. The two large sofas were extremely comfortable. The property was only about 5 minutes in the car to Tenby front. We would love to return.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Boathouse. In response to your comments we have now invested in a new mattress topper which can be easier removed if required. If you choose to return to visit us again we will be pleased to welcome you.

"We had a lovely stay at The Boathouse last week."
The property was just as it said in the brochure, if not better, and the location was ideal as it was only about 15 minutes to walk into town. Although there are houses surrounding the property, it was a really quiet place to stay. It was amazing and we will definitely be back next year! As for the property owners, they were really helpful and friendly and always there if you needed help for anything.

"The PERFECT family getaway!"
The Boathouse is a stunning holiday home that has everything you need. So we’ll equipped, spacious and the beds are extremely comfy. We visited for a week with our 2 children age 6 and 2. Everything was close by so we were able to do so much. The nearby beaches are beautiful and Folly Farm and Tenby Dinosaur Park are less than a 15 minutes drive. We will definitely book The Boathouse again if staying in Tenby.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We enjoy hearing that our guests have had great days out in the area, and we'd love to welcome you back again if you ever come back to Tenby. Property Owner

"The accommodation is only three years old and built to a high standard."
All the facilities are modern with quality furnishings. Tanya, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. The Boathouse is only about ten minutes walk from the centre of Tenby and has its own off-road parking space. We had a lovely week here and would thoroughly recommend it.

"The internal accommodation itself was very comfortable and clean, had all the facilities you would expect and the hamper left for us was a nice touch."
We were however disappointed to find that the Boathouse was in fact in the very narrow back yard of the owners house on a narrow plot in between other houses. This felt very hemmed in and meant you had to drive past the owners very large front window/patio doors when leaving and returning which wasn’t very private and quite disconcerting. We were also disappointed that the patio/parking area had builders equipment stacked and rubbish bins scattered around. All in all, this made it all feel very underwhelming and quite depressing which was a shame as the accommodation itself was comfortable and pleasant.
Dear Sir, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your New Years Hamper, and that you found the accommodation to be clean and comfortable. We want all our guests to enjoy their stay at the Boathouse, as you will see from our previous reviews we have always received positive feedback. We will take on board your comments with regards to the yard, and once our new bin storage facility is complete I can assure you our wheelie bins and recycle storage boxes will no longer visible.

"We had a wonderful stay at The Boathouse."
So nice to find a detached, self-contained property so close to the beach. The property was very well-equipped, welcoming, cosy and warm. The Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely touch. We hope to visit again next year.
Thank you for choosing the Boathouse, we are pleased you liked the Christmas decorations, enjoyed your stay and felt warm and cozy. We look forward to welcoming you again next year. Property Owner

"The boathouse is a beautifully designed house."
The upstairs living area is really light and spacious with a vaulted ceiling and lots of Velux windows. The showers deliver loads of hot water. We had a really nice week. Plenty of space for parking, very friendly family who own the property (the Boathouse is in their back garden). Good location, Co-op is a few minutes walk away, centre of Tenby is a 10 min walk away. Highly recommended.

"Very comfortable accommodation hosted by a friendly family."
The property has ample parking and is within easy walking distance of the town, although not on the coast itself as its name - The Boathouse - might suggest. It proved to be an excellent base for our holiday.

"The Boathouse was a beautiful place to stay in."
All the mod cons you could possibly need. The accommodation was spotless and Tanya and her family were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you! The location of the Boathouse is great too. The town and the beaches in town are only a short walk away. There are also lots of things for families to do less than a 30 minutes drive away. Tenby is a beautiful part of the country to visit and hopefully we’ll be back one day!
-
"A great house extremely well appointed and very comfortable."
Tanya the owner was nearby if there are any issues (there aren’t) would stay here again and fully recommend the Boathouse.
-
"This is a great place for family with 2 children, if two couples, the two bedroom next to each other and have a door between them, you can hear each other talking, even with very low voice."
The whole cottage is super clean and comfortable, had all elements you need for your holiday!
-
"The Boathouse is a superb holiday home and Tanya and Pete are excellent hosts."
-
"The Boathouse was very good holiday accommodation for us."
Modern, light, clean and comfortable. Being ten mins walk from the town is perfect, it keeps us fit and saves taking out the car when going to restaurants etc. Sykes kept us updated and sent all the necessary information required. Thanks to all.

The property
In the lovely seaside town of Tenby, you'll find The Boathouse, a modern masterpiece boasting a fantastic layout and some excellent features.
Wonderfully suited for a family holiday, this property has two bedrooms and benefits from a shared lawned garden for the kids to run around, and is also close to the centre of town and the coast.
Going in through the front door will bring you to the stylish kitchen decked in bright units and home to all the appliances you'll need, including a dishwasher.
This space also has a breakfast table for four, and even has a utility cupboard housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, hidden behind a sliding cupboard door, showcasing the clever and well-thought design of the property.
A ground-floor shower room sits across from the kitchen, featuring a large modern shower, while upstairs on the first floor you will find the family bathroom, where you can spend time soaking in the spacious tub drenched in the natural light from the Velux window.
The first floor has a Cedar wood-panelled wall and flooring, exposed beams and ceiling windows, showcasing the reason for its namesake, giving this bright open space a warming and homely touch.
Two smart dark blue sofas sit in front of the TV, perfect for getting together and putting a favourite film on to watch.
After making a delicious meal downstairs in the kitchen, bring it up and serve it on the beautiful dining table before you retire to the bedrooms.
The Boathouse has two bedrooms; a twin and a super-king-size, both with zip/link abilities so you can ensure you have the sleeping arrangement you prefer, with a jack-and-jill lockable door between the rooms which can be useful for those with young children.
In the summer months you can really make use of the garden outside, with some outdoor seating on the patio and a lawned area you can sit out and soak up the rays.
If you've come with little ones, then take them down to the safe Harbour Beach for a play in the sand and maybe a first dip in the sea, or head over to Castle Beach which has an easy access slipway to get down to it.
Walkers are in luck, as Tenby has great coastal walks, one of the most popular being the Pembrokeshire Coast Path providing stunning views of Saundersfoot Bay from the headland at Monkstone.
A visit to Caldey Island by ferry is perfect way to spend the day, with more than a thousand years of prayer and peaceful living on this holy island making it a haven of tranquillity.
Set sail for The Boathouse this year, and enjoy this wonderfully designed house in the bustling town of Tenby.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
