"We love Fisherman's Cottage, it's a home from home."
Second visit and just as perfect as last time. Spotlessly clean, cosy, quiet and lovely comfortable beds. It has everything you need and would want in a holiday home. Great location for beaches, walks snd a super village pub.

"A real home from home at this cosy cottage"

"Lovely clean and comfortable cottage."
Great location for what we wanted to do and places we wanted to visit.
-
"One of the nicest cottages we have used."
Really clean, comfortable and cozy. Everything you would want in the kitchen and a tin of Welsh treats to welcome us! The only slight problem was the stairs and steps. Our daughter is visually impaired and would have benefitted from white markings on them. Overall, thoroughly recommend this cottage.

"Had a lovely relaxing week at Fisherman's cottage."
It was a perfect base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast and Pauline and Eric were great hosts if we needed anything (good recommendations for places to eat !). The cottage is cosy and had everything we needed to relax after a day exploring. The welcome tin of bara brith and Welsh cakes were much appreciated. We would live to come back again as we still have so many lovely places to visit in the area.
-
"Thank you for a lovely week in your cottage - we had everything we needed and appreciated the extra little touches."
Thank you.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Fisherman's Cottage and the lovely village of St Ishmael's."
The cottage was very quaint and charming and was also very clean and well equipped. Our host left a lovely welcome gift, for our arrival, of Welsh cakes and a Bara Brith, together with fresh flowers on the table. We were made very welcome by the locals at the village pub, The Brook Inn and enjoyed the entertainment provided and some great chats with people from the village. Fisherman's Cottage is ideally placed for visiting so many of the beautiful bays and seaside towns along the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast and within a 15 minute drive to Milford Haven and within easy reach of Haverfordwest West. We enjoyed walking and exploring the coast and took some fabulous photos to remind ourselves of a great week.

"A very generous welcome pack was delicious."
Thank you. We enjoyed the spacious dining room and the open fire. The cottage has a very tranquil atmosphere and the neighborhood is very quiet. We enjoyed easy access to coastal paths and the facilities were excellent. Thank you for a splendid stay.

"The cottage was comfy."
It was lovely finding the Welsh cakes and barra brith left by the owners. The kitchen was well stocked with a toaster, kettle and microwave. The wi-fi signal was good and the tv had sky too.
-
"Comfortable, cosy, clean cottage excellently equipped for a home-from-home experience."
Generous owners very willing to welcome and accommodate guests needs. A great base for exploring the area by car, and spectacular coastal walks from the doorstep.
-
"We had everything we wanted, all clean and comfortable."
The added bonus of the lovely cake and Welsh cakes made us feel very welcome. Credit to the owners!

-
"A quirky traditional cottage family owned for 200 years."
Very well equipped but not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Very friendly village and local pub.
-
"What a lovely cottage - really enjoyed our stay - the bed is so so comfortable too!"
Everything you need under one roof. It was warm the week we went so no need to put fire on as it’s warm indoors… warmer than London! The coast is nearby / lots of walks to be had - the locals so friendly… Please remember to bring food - we brought a few things however the nearest shop is miles away (Milton Haven or a petrol stop shop) The local pub is cosy and the staff/ punters are friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute of our stay…. Sarah & Rich 1st - 8th October

"A cosy cottage within a lovely location."
We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Pauline and Eric. We would recommend Fisherman's Cottage as it provided a peaceful holiday close to the stunning coastline.
-
"A surprisingly spacious, very clean and well equipped cottage."
The beds were super comfy and the cottage is set in the most peaceful of locations. So handy for our trip to Skomer which was primarily our reason for staying in the area. Also very close to some lovely walks, beaches and pretty coves. The nearby St Ishmaels garden centre has the most delightful tea room where they serve beautiful home made food and cater for vegetarian and gluten free diets. I would definitely stay here again.
-
"Lovely cottage in a convenient, very good location for local villages, walks and beaches."
-
"Charming cottage in wonderful location"
-
"Super week here."
The cottage is full of character. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed being here. Internet is excellent. Very dog friendly. Some well thought personal touches provided. Would recommend this cottage to others.
-
"A wonderful cottage, we felt at home as soon as we went through the front door."
I have stayed in many cottages down the years, and this would definitely be in top 3, possibly no 1. Kitchen had everything we needed, and more, front room and bedrooms comfortable and cosy. We will be back !
-
"We loved the cottage."
It was very comfortable , lovely welcome gifts and fresh flowers - really nice touches. The firelace was great with lots of wood provided - . The village is full of friendly people - we met lots out walking. There is lots of useful information in the cottage - mas walks etc. Loads of interesting places around. Highly recommend and we hope to return.

"This was our first proper holiday as a family."
We couldn’t have asked for anything better, the owner was excellent and decorated the hourse for us at Christmas. It was such a nice area and was so relaxing.
-
"Great place to stay,Easy to find,Great facilities and a lovely selection of Christmas decorations which was a nice touch."
Great walks from the door down to the coast which is perfect for walkers.Overall a very comfortable,clean and friendly cottage to stay at.Would definitely recommend.
-
"We have just returned from a week's stay at Fisherman's Cottage."
The cottage is quaint & cosy in a quiet village setting and has everything you need for a relaxing break. It is very dog friendly and our 2 dogs quickly settled into their new surroundings. The facilities are excellent and the cottage was clean with some lovely Welsh cakes left by Pauline & Eric to welcome us with a vase full of roses making the cottage feel like home from home. The area is excellent for walking with fantastic views over the countryside and some lovely beaches nearby which are all well worth a visit. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing week and would definitely recommend if you want somewhere quiet to get away from everyday living for a while. We will definitely be going back.
-
"We had a fantastic week."
The cottage was welcoming and homely and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. Although the cottage is not high end it was perfect for us as when you have young children and a dog it’s important that you can relax in your surroundings. We had a week of exploring the beautiful walks and beaches and came back to the warm cosy cottage in the evenings. Just perfect, thank you.
-
"Overall a good stay, however we had a very long drive down from North Yorkshire and were very much looking forward to a drink and dinner at the village pub, it was closed and up for sale!"
! They need to update their info both on line and in the book in the cottage. However other eating houses they recommended were very good.
-
"Lovely cottage in a very quiet village not far from some stunning beaches."
The Owner Pauline had left cakes for us in our arrival which was a very kind touch. Would recommend.
-
"Lovely little cottage, owner very helpful."
Enjoyed the complementary cakes. We did get whiffs of heating oil from the tank outside the kitchen window every now and then, but nothing that bothered us.
-
"A great little cottage in a lovely area."
There was plenty of space for two human and two standard Poodles for the week and was also fine when the oldies visited for a couple of days.
-
"The peace and quiet,lovely walking."
Pembrokeshire is a very dog friendly place. Would highly recommend this cottages. Pauline and Eric were very helpful and friendly. Our Brock(the collie) is going home for a rest. We will be back in the future.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Fisherman’s cottage."
It was perfect for us comfy and very well equipped, even our dogs were catered for with towels and bowls! We met the owners who were lovely people and they were very kind when we managed to break a jug. We loved the area, great coastal walks and beaches from the doorstop, we even swam in the sea without wetsuits! It’s a shame the village pub has closed, but there’s a great sports and social club by a cricket pitch, all very friendly! All in all we’ll be back and many thanks to Pauline and Eric.
-
"We found this place last minute and it didn’t disappoint."
A lovely quiet spot to relax as well as a great base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coastline with our two dogs . Spotless clean on arrival, very warm and cosy. Good size kitchen and very well stocked, I easily cooked all our meals through the week. Fresh flowers and cake on our arrival which was most welcome. Good parking facilities.
-
"The pub in the village is closed and there is no shop nearby."
Village very quiet. and place suitable for walkers not beach holiday. Cottage very cosy, very clean and everything provided and very comfortable. Nice touch of fresh flowers and welsh cakes on arrival.
-
"Lovely cottage with everything you need for a great break."
South Wales is a beautiful place for a holiday with lots of great places to visit & fantastic beaches. Loads of great walks & st David’s city is a definite.
-
"Such a cosy cottage, everything was very clean."
Very comfortable bed, lovely little patio area. Ideal for being near to the Pembrokeshire coastal paths, which are fabulous for walking.
-
"Fisherman's Cottage is a lovely cottage, well equipped with comfortable beds and extra touches to make it a real home from home."
We enjoyed returning to it at the end of a day's exploring. The owner, Pauline left us a Bara Brith, Welsh cakes and flowers which were much appreciated. The village has no shops and the local pub is now closed and for sale. Other visitors should be warned that there are no other items of food in the cottage not even salt and pepper. Most cottages that we've stayed in carry a few essentials, (lack of them may be due to Covid). THe nearest place to do a grocery shop is Milford Haven about 6 miles away or Haverfordwest. I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends.
-
"The cottage was fabulous , in a great location."
It had everything we need. We liked so much that we have booked it again for next year.
-
"Fantastic cottage."
We have stayed in 20+ in Pembrokeshire and this Cottage must rank as one if not the best.
-
"It is a delightful, quirky cottage which, I am sure, will not suit everybody."
Low ceilings and doors, just as a cottage should be! There was everything you needed in the cottage from a cheese grater to a cafeteire. There are masses of wonderful beaches and walks within a half hour drive, many that are nearer. I would certainly go back again.
-
"Lovely and peaceful, we wanted coastal walking and this delivered."
my partner is 6ft & kept bashing his head on the low doorways otherwise magic
-
"The village was a bit isolated and didn't have a shop for newspapers and bread and milk which we missed."
The local pub was right next to the cottage and served good food but only allowed our dog in the garden.The weather was quite hot when we were there and with no umbrellas or shade we only visited once,every other pub elsewhere welcomed dogs inside but were all a car journey away.
-
"What a fabulous cottage in a fabulous area!"
loved every single second of our stay.
-
"Lovely cottage in a brilliant location"
-
"Absolutley wonderful."
We had the weather. The cottage was so lovely and relaxing, and had all the facilities we needed. Can you thank the owners for sharing their lovely home.
-
"It wasn’t clinical like some holiday lets - more like a home from home."
-
"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of Wales."
St Ishmaels is a lovely little village, with a nice pub in the centre and close to the coastal path. The cottage was as per the photos and has been recently decorated. It is warm and cosy and has everything you need - the owners contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed and were very generous with their welcome pack, providing logs for the fire etc... We had a great time exploring the area and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
-
"He cottage was just as described, clean with good facilities and in a quiet and peaceful location."
The oil fired central heating worked a treat and had the place warmed up in no time. WiFi was very good and reliable, the kitchen was well fitted out and equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable with good quality bedding - all in all a cozy place to stay. The cottage is well located for local walks and plenty of places for the coastal path are easy to get to by car as are the towns of Pembroke, Milford Haven and Haverford West. We were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay and this went on to tick all the boxes for us. There is a local pub a short walk away and we visited four of the five nights we were there, staff and customers were friendly and a decent choice of beers were on tap as well - the only slight downside to it was that there was no food available, I think that may well be a seasonal thing as the leaflet/menu for the pub (in the cottage) looked good - but perhaps our stay in February was a little early for that - it wasn't a problem as we shopped accordingly. There is a washing machine and dryer available in the connected 'outhouse' which all looked fine although it wasn't a facility that we needed to use. Pauline the owner called to make sure everything was OK and to check we were happy with things and whether of not there was anything we needed. The fresh flowers on the dining room table, the packet of Welsh Cakes and the loaf of Bara Brith were a nice touch as well. It was all good and there wasn't anything we didn't like, if we were to be picky then I'd say the water pressure for the shower wasn't fantastic BUT to be clear it wasn't a problem and there was ample hot water for showering and bathing.

"No garden for the dogs when you go out the back door you hit a brick wall every where was closed no food ."
We were told that we were the last before a refurbish so that must tell you something sorry not very good

"Highly delighted with the cottage"
-
"Two of our party spent 4 days on Skokholm Island and had a great time."
I spent my time revisiting the area where I was born, spending some time with family members and generally chilling out. Evening meals at The Griffin, Dale and The Swan, Little Haven were excellent. Good pub food at The Grove Inn, St Ishmaels For anyone visiting Pembrokeshire for a first time, St David's is a must do!
-
"The photos of this property are out of date."
The house is badly in need of professional decorating, inside and out. What the photos don't show is that this is the scruffiest looking house on the scruffiest looking street in the village. It was at least pretty clean although would benefit from a thorough spring clean. It's dark and smelt musty every time we walked in. It's not very welcoming to come back to after having been out walking all day. I would give it 3 out of 5, which means I wouldn't go back I'm afraid. A vase of flowers and a few Welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival don't make up for what feels like a neglected property. Needs more attention to detail. The location is ok but there is only one place in the village to get food and that's the village pub which serves very average food. If you want a decent meal then you have to drive elsewhere. Only a 20 minute walk from the stunning coastal cliffs though.
-
"The only point I would like to raise is parking - there was one space only for a car and I met a friend for a holiday we had two cars."
One car had to be parked near the village green. Other then that it was excellent.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, warm and toasty in November."
Easy access to coastal walking routes, St David’s and Tenby in easy reach. First visit to Pembrokeshire and will definitely be back!
-
"Arrived finding home bakes and fresh flowers."
Very nice welcome touch. Met owners several times during our stay and they were more than happy to help with anything is more logs for the gorgeous fire
