  • "My wife and I stayed a week in early September."

    The location is perfect - just off a side street (so very quiet) and 2 min walk to centre of Tenby and the beach. The parking spot was fine for our small car and easy to manoeuvre despite the tightness of the car park. The apartment was overall good, with a good quality bed and bedding and clean. We did find the tiny mugs, bowls and towels comical so purchased new ones for our stay! We were lucky we picked a sunny week but despite this it is not the warmest of flats so we did have to use the heaters at times. The TV is smart but the remote doesn't work very well (not batteries as tried new ones). It was just the two of us but we would also recommended for a family of four (with a small car).

    Sea Drift is surrounded by beaches, Cosy cafes , Independent and Boutique shops it is all about location . Situated within TENBY TOWN WALLS with underground secure gated car park is a huge bonus. I will look to purchase large mugs .In our advert it does state we do not provide beach towels. We leave out Bath towels and hand towels. Pleased the weather was gorgeous on your weeks holiday . Thank you for choosing Sea Drift . Property Owner

    The property is ideally situated in the centre of Tenby and having its own parking space is a definite bonus. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and really enjoyed our week.

    Thank you for booking Sea Drift , I am so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and was happy with how central the apartment is situated. Yes definitely a bonus with the sercure allocated parking bay. Property Owner

  • "The location of the apartment is excellent, and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable."

    The kitchen and bathroom are worn and need an upgrade. Kitchen generally well stocked though. Hot water situation very difficult especially with chicken. You need to remember to boost the emersion and the hot water comes out as a trickle. Takes at least half an hour to run a bath for each child and not enough hot water supply to run multiple baths for multiple children. Takes a good 5 mins to run enough water for washing up. Television/ remote for TV are faulty so navigating the menu and using it very difficult. Parking was a complete nightmare. The spaces are too small for the average size car especially when you consider the apartments are advertised for 5 people, so no one is going to be bringing a tiny vehicle. I was blocked in by another resident for a large part of my stay so couldn’t leave Tenby, which was very frustrating. I wouldn’t return to this apartment block or recommend this accommodation because of the parking issues and lack of on-demand hot water.

    I am saddened to read your review and scoring. All twelve apartments have low pressure hot water, which has been worked on several times. All twelve apartments have the same area parking bay with difficult pillars to manovre around , I am just thankful no2 bay is straight in line with the entrance, and of course it is a bonus to be able to park within Tenby Town Walls. I will check over the TV remote , may need a battery change . The kitchen got all new electrical whites appliances , the only one in the block to have dishwasher, washing / dryer machine. Sorry you will not holiday at St Mary's Court in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had a great stay in Tenby."

    The holiday home was in an excellent location for our family of 2 adults and 2 small children, with the beaches, shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The car parking space is tight when there are large cars parked at either side but we managed it ok with a skoda octavia (one occasion having to get out the back door) and it is the best space in the car park. Would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it.

  • "Great location from which to enjoy everything that Tenby has to offer."

    Everything is just a short walk away. Parking is very tight, but we were lucky in that the adjacent space was not used, after the first day, while we were there The property is furnished with everything needed, and the supply of a small amount of essential supplies for cleaning, washing was much appreciated. My only negative is that I found all the pillows a bit lumpy, and I tried them all!

    So pleased you enjoyed the location of Sea Drift set within the town walls and you had restaurants ,shops and beaches on the door step. We are so privileged to have the underground car park especially during pedestrianisation 1st July to mid September. We are one of very few with a permit pass due to the underground car park. When the car park is full and tight I recommend that guests park at the multistorey long stay car park at Sainsbury. All the pillows at Sea Drift are DORMA which were high end of the pricing , I will definitely be looking into this . Thank you once again . Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic time at Sea Drift – it truly was home from home, and I wished we could have stayed for the whole summer."

    The whole flat was spotlessly clean, and the owner Marilyn went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for us. The flat is in an excellent location on a quiet street of residential properties, and you can see the beautiful sea from the flat - A few minutes’ walk, and you are on Tenby’s gorgeous beach, or a few minutes walk in the other direction and you are in the middle of Tenby shops and restaurants. The beds are so comfortable with all bedding and towels provided and the whole flat was decorated so tastefully. Secure parking in underground car park with allocated space was so easy as we didn’t have to worry about trying to find a car parking space. I cannot think of anything that could be improved - everything that you could possibly need for a wonderful stay is included. I would have no hesitation in booking this accommodation again.

    Thank you for choosing SEA DRIFT . I am delighted you enjoyed your Spring Time stay it Tenby , the location of the ground floor apartment is in a ideal location for everything. Property Owner

    Perfectly located, everything you want is in a short walking distance whether that is the beach or the shops. The property consists of two bedrooms both with a really comfortable double bed and one also has a single bed. There is a lounge space with TV offering NETFLIX and Amazon Prime ( you don’t need to log in to your own account) and a kitchen and bathroom. The accommodation is spotlessly clean. What I really appreciated was that all the little items you end up buying when you arrive for a week’s holiday - such as washing up liquid, loo rolls and bin bags - are all provided. Secure parking underneath the apartment is a real bonus.

  • "Unfortunately there was a lot of work going on outside the building which we had been told about, although not to the extent that it was happening."

    Also there was a lot of work going on in the flat next door, which involved them taking tiled off the wall apparently, which felt like they were going to come through the wall and was extremely noisy, so much so that we had to go out as it was unbearable. This is obviously not something within the control of the owner. We were offered alternative accommodation, but only one offered was within Tenby and when we looked at the reviews, there were comments about noise, so there was no point moving. Everything else offered was in the middle of nowhere! Parking is a real issue with this property, we only have a medium sized car, but if there had been cars either side, we would not have got into the gap. You really need to check this out before you book I feel. There is only carpet in the bedroom and the rest of the floor are freezing cold, well they are in March! So you need to take your slippers or socks with you. The shower is also a bit strange as it is tucked into a corner, which makes it difficult to access the shower if you just want to wash your hair over the bath, I gave up in the end, as it was too difficult. It is a nice little flat and perfectly placed in Tenby, but I am not sure that we would go back.

    Sea Drift is in a complex situated inside Tenby Town walls, prime location for shops, restaurants and beaches . The underground car park has twelve allocated bays, which out of season is no problem; plenty of space. In high season, it is more difficult if you have a large car, although Sea Drift's allocated bay is no 2 which runs parallel with the car park gates, easy to drive or reverse straight into the bay. There is NO parking at all within Tenby Town walls so we are therefore extremely lucky to have this space. Carpet was put down in the bedrooms for comfort. The hallway and lounge is fitted with LVT wood flooring which is excellent to wash through when sand is taken in off the beach . The shower is placed in the bath which gives visitors the best of both; if they have children and coming in off the beach, it is ideal to shower them down in the bath; it may not satisfy everyone's needs. Please read section 3.10 ofthe booking conditions regarding noise and neighbours. (so unfortunate the apartment next door no 1 was renovating their bathroom) this complex is located in St Marys Street and it is such a PEACEFUL AREA. The complex was being painted outside which was held up in March due to the appalling weather which was totally out of my control. ALL PAINTING WORK IS FINISHED and the apartments look fabulous, so clean and bright. Maybe in the future a cottage in the country would be more suitable for you. Marilyn. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic stay in Sea Drift, just far enough out of the way to be quiet but still in the centre of town."

    Only thing that stops me giving it a top rating is the parking and lack of private outside space. You can be set up on the beach in less than 10 minutes from leaving the door, or in a restaurant / bar in five (Harbwr's outside bar being our favourite). The parking is very tight, but what do you expect from being so close to the centre of things. I couldn't get into my car after parking it (I was first in), so either get friendly with your parking neighbours or forget about the car and stay in Tenby or jump on the train. Definitely recommend.

    Tenby is lovely place to stay. Clean town and beaches. An oven glove might be helpful in the kitchen and small sharp knife for cutting vegetables. Note. White outside lights from opposite properties kept coming on unfortunately as we went to bed 10.30-11.00. Not sure if anything you can do here though. Parking was very tricky as two larger cars next to ours. Had to drive into space so could climb out through the boot otherwise would not got in or out of the car. However we didn't need to move until last day. This could be an issue if other residents not about and we needed to move car for day trip out.

    There is plenty to do around Tenby with a highlight being the Seal Safari boat trip. The apartment is 50 yards from the steps down to Castle beach which meant we could go for evening strolls on the beach, a bit of beach cricket and the odd dip in sea. The apartment was scrupulously clean, so thank you. We were left with plenty of household supplies. We appreciated the washer, drier. The apartment is not the largest, but it was fine for 5 people and being modern and compact did mean we could keep it clean. Tenby is good for benches, sitting watching the sea. As previous people have mentioned, the parking space is narrow if you have a large car. I would advise checking with the owner if you have a big car, plus we checked the height as we have a top box. We were fine with a Citroen Picasso. The communication with the owner was excellent.

About the location

TENBY

Pembroke 11 miles; Carmarthen 26 miles.

The bustling seaside resort of Tenby, known within Wales as “The Jewel in the Crown", is majestically positioned on the spectacularly beautiful 'Welsh Riviera'. Tenby is part of the stunning 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast National Park where the water is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the county is one of the sunniest places in the UK. Enclosed by medieval walls, this beautiful town features a maze of cobbled streets, hosting an array of quirky shops, indoor locally-sourced food market, tea rooms and tempting restaurants. Almost three miles of stunning, Blue Flag-awarded beaches provide a variety of watersports, whilst walkers and cyclists can enjoy the local flora and fauna on the coastal paths, something the competitors of the world-renowned Tenby Iron-Man contest (held in mid-September) haven’t time for! A boat trip to Caldey Island is recommended to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the monastery and island scenery, and you can enjoy seal and puffin sightings en-route! Explore the magnificent Tudor Merchant's House, or visit the nearby resorts of Saundersfoot or Manobier. For teens and younger visitors, Oakwood Theme Park provides a brilliant, fun-filled day out whilst Folly Farm offers everything from old-fashioned fairground rides to animals both local and exotic! The perfect location for an enjoyable and varied holiday.
