  • "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.

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.
