“Great cottage, comfortable and well equiped.”

A quiet location with local walks and water access. Easy access to attractions in Pembroke too.

“We had a very nice stay at Curlew, a beautiful house full of light.”

We were lucky with the weather and saw a lot of birds, inc. buzzards, from the terrace. The only things that would improve the stay are a few more cleaning products, and a torch (there were two power cuts during our stay, one in the evening when it was very dark).

- Susan, September 2024
Ann May 2024

“Beautiful location overlooking the estuary.”

Great parking spaces. Within a short car ride to Lidl and a garage, as well as the Horse and Jockey Pub, where we had a delicous meal. Can highly recommend. We all had a great week in this lovely house. Ann M

Miriam October 2023

“A lovely week at the house.”

To note re maintenance. Bedroom door overlooking estuary with single beds doesn’t close. Shower screen over bath leaks. Would suggest for hygiene reasons pillows have pillow protectors fitted.

- Miriam, October 2023
Phyllis Lrene October 2023

“We had an excellent stay at Curlew cottage.”

The property stood on the side of the estuary with beautiful views.We spent many hours on the patio looking at all the birds that were on view, heron, curlew, swans, ducks and much more. The cottage was very comfortable with all that you required to make your stay enjoyable and memorable. Would definitely recommend any family e friend's to visit.

- Phyllis Lrene, October 2023

“Wonderful week in Curlew Cottage.”

Everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing holiday. Hope we can come again next year.

- Marilyn, August 2023
Margaret August 2023

“Fabulous cottage, very nice welsh cakes too thank you.”

Small issue with shower, owner was on site within an hour tops and it was sorted. There is something very relaxing about watching the tidal ins and outs of the estuary, very relaxing. Very comfortable stay, would definitely recommend. Need a pair of kitchen scissors! That's the only moan so must have been a wonderful stay, it was! Please note that there were differences in the detail that Sykes provided and other details pertaining to the cottage on site. For instance one said you could arrive at 4 the other 5, there were other inconsistencies. There was no mention of Smart TV just Freeview..

Richard August 2023

“We have stayed in quite a few holiday cottages over the years and this one is by far our favourite, large space and great views across the estuary.”

Great location with so much to see and do. We will definitely be booking the curlew again. Pembrokeshire is amazing.

- Richard, August 2023
Aimee July 2023

“This is a fantastic location for discovering Pembrokeshire.”

Our children loved crabbing and playing near the bridge at low tide and the house was very conveniently located near shops and commerces. Lots of information provided by the hosts to help us during our stay and the house was clean and well presented. We did find a problem with one shower but the hosts were very reactive, understanding and willing to fix the issue immediately.

- Aimee, July 2023
Diana June 2023

“Lovely property in a quiet secluded spot right on the waterfront and only a short drive to Milford Haven.”

Good choice of pubs nearby together with a decent sized Lidl. Conveniently placed for St David’s, Tenby and Skomer. Recommended.

It was in a great location and so well decorated thought out. In a great location for visiting the coast of pembrokeshire. Very quiet and great for relaxing by the estuary.

- Diane, September 2022
Shanky August 2022

“Pros. The cottage is in a very good condition and the location is just great.”

Cottage was very neat and clean with all amenities available. The balcony is great for morning tea and to chill out in evenings. Cons. WiFi is a bit of an issue and there are no signals most times on first floor.

- Shanky, August 2022
Kenneth July 2022

“Lovely spacious property in excellent condition.”

Almost spotless when we arrived. A couple of minor cleaning issues. Ìt would benefit from a parasol on the terrace and a mattress protector on the main bed hut was otherwise near perfect. 0

Susan June 2022

“Curlew is a lovely, clean, comfortable, well equipped property.”

We enjoyed a refreshing week relaxing and having fun in the area. Thank you.

- Susan, June 2022
John June 2022

“Overall we enjoyed our stay in Curlew but feel a few points need addressing.”

In the electric shower en suite bathroom the socket holding the shower spray head was broken and the spray head tended to fall out, also the water would suddenly turn cold for no apparent reason. The extractor fan in the other en suite bathroom didn't work; as there is no window in this room a working extractor fan is essential. The window in the down stairs toilet wouldn't open; has this been secured closed for security reasons? The central heating boiler requires re-pressurizing and salt is required in the dish washer. Kitchen equipment was adequate but minimal, the potato peeler is broken. A few more glasses especially thinner wine glasses would be appreciated. The terrace receives sun from late morning onwards so a sun shade/parasol would be appreciated.

- John, June 2022
Jane July 2021

“The cottage was in a fabulous position - overlooking the Castle Pill Estuary, facing west with two sets of french windows opening onto the patio, making the rooms very light .”

It was wonderful to watch the ebb and flow of the tide and see all the seabirds on the water and shore. The lights from across the estuary reflected in the water at night, adding to the atmosphere. A great place to stay if you like kayaking or paddle boarding. The patio was a great place to relax on and is not overlooked at all. The house and furnishings were modern and comfortable with plenty of bathrooms! The property was very clean. Milford Haven with supermarkets and restaurants is just a couple of minutes away. We walked the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path from this property and will move onto another section and another area next year and are sorry not to be coming back immediately - thoroughly recommend.

- Jane, July 2021
Glenn July 2021

“Great place to unwind, but not far away from bars and restaurants, love to go back, very relaxing holiday.”

- Glenn, July 2021
Anita June 2021

“Cottage is beautiful, although furniture in lounge not particularly comfortable.”

It's also different to the suite shown on the website. The beds in the second ensuite bedroom were uncomfortable. However, very clean, a wonderful base from which to explore, and we would happily return.

- Anita, June 2021
Ronald June 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Curlew which was well situated to explore Pembrokeshire from and the house and facilities made the stay very comfortable.”

We enjoyed a sundowner on the terrace every evening a perfect place to catch the setting sun over the river estuary we appreciated the welcome pack after a long drive and we would definitely stay again!

- Ronald, June 2021
Jane August 2020

“We loved our holiday in Pembroke it’s a beautiful part of the world.”

The property was spacious and in a great location it did full far short of the standard of cleanliness we would expect especially in these times of Covid 19.

- Jane, August 2020
Timothy August 2020

“Brilliant house in super ocation.”

Nearby beaches amazing

Alison December 2019

“We had the most wonderful Christmas at Curlew.”

We were a party of six (ranging in age from 25-83!). The property was clean and tidy with ample provision for cooking and food preparation. It was warm and comfy and tastefully decorated for the Festive Season. The downstairs space/kitchen area, was light and pleasant and afforded spectacular views over the water, as did the bedrooms, which gave us a different perspective each morning. We cannot praise this accommodation and its location highly enough. This property provided an excellent base for both relaxing and getting out and about to enjoy some of the spectacular scenery. Having experienced numerous cottage holidays over the years, this will stand out as one of the very best.

- Alison, December 2019
Sharon August 2019

“Great location with on site parking.”

Immaculately clean cottage, hope to use it again.

- Sharon, August 2019
Jeremy May 2019

“Curlew Cottage is in a beautiful quiet setting with a patio right above the tidal estuary, so that you can sit out watching the tide come in and out.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and furnished. We definitely want to return another year.

- Jeremy, May 2019
Robert May 2019

Bill November 2018

“We really enjoyed our stay at Curlew cottage and would certainly return.”

We did find that some of the kitchen utensils had been put away having not been cleaned properly.

- Bill, November 2018
David September 2018

“Cottage was brilliant, clean, and the information pack that was left was very comprehensive.”

Even had a pint of milk in the fridge left for us.

- David, September 2018
Deborah August 2018

“A beautiful house in a fantastic setting.”

The house is spacious, comfortable & well equipped. The extra bathroom was a welcome bonus with a family of three teenagers. WiFi was a bit dodgy but other than that perfect.

- Deborah, August 2018
Clare June 2018

“The house was perfect, clean and everything you need.”

The scenery is out of this world and nothing better waking up to see water and lucky for us the sun shining everyday :-) We travelled out most days and found some beautiful places. If you just want a relaxing holiday this house is for you or a perfect base for travelling around. Nothing more perfect watching the sun go down on the balcony, after a busy day, with a vino in your hand. I recommend that you read the visitors book which gives lots of ideas of places to eat and places to go.

- Clare, June 2018
Trevor May 2018

“Could not have been better.”

Lovely property with all the facilities we could ask for. The weather was perfect and the location ideal. What more could we ask??

- Trevor, May 2018
Ross February 2018

“Brilliant location to visit the area or simply chill out watching the tide and wildlife.”

Lorraine November 2017

“Please pass on our complements to the cleaners, Cottage was absolutely spotless.”

- Lorraine, November 2017
Pat September 2017

“This was listed as no pets which was important to us.”

It was obvious from comments left that many people had stayed with their dogs.

- Pat, September 2017
Jocelyn August 2017

“The internet was not connected when we arrived.”

We texted the owners and although they did not reply it was on the following day. Once that was sorted we had a perfect holiday.

- Jocelyn, August 2017
Kirstin October 2016

“Spacious, comfortable, quiet and amazing views.”

Great location for seeing this part of Wales, we would highly recommend this cottage. Would have been good to have 2 keys and when we arrived the key safe was open.

- Kirstin, October 2016
Karen September 2016

“Superb accommodation in a lovely location.”

- Karen, September 2016
Sally August 2016

“This is a beautiful location.”

The property is very spacious and comfortable. The only negatives were that a few things could do with replacing in order to make it top notch stay, such as the cups, kitchen bin, and saucepans. On the whole it is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Sally, August 2016
Barbara July 2016

“We enjoyed being near the tidal estuary and seeing the wildlife.”

We loved discovering the nearby beaches and there was so much to do on offer. There was also safe beaches for children.

- Barbara, July 2016

- Sheila, September 2014
Kenneth June 2014

“Everything was lovely, a quiet area but not far from lovely beaches.”

This part of South Wales is beautiful, if you have not been there before like us you must go. The photos of this property do not do it justice, you have to stay there to appreciate how lovely it is.

Rosslyn April 2013

“Location was good, very quiet, in a pretty setting.”

The property, was of a very high standard with all the comforts of home. The outside patio area was great of an evening with the sun shining on it, an ideal spot for an early evening g&t. We have stayed in quite a few different properties in Pembrokeshire over the years, but this property would be difficult to beat.

- Rosslyn, April 2013

We would book again for sure and recommend to any one looking for a relaxing get away.

The spacious, light and airy living accommodation has the same wonderful views, and access to the terrace for alfresco dining.

The direct access down stone steps to the shingle beach make it perfect for walks along the shoreline discovering so much at low tide, and watersports when the tide is in.

With parking by the cottage and more shared private parking just up the road there is plenty of room for your own boat.

A wonderfully high quality Pembrokeshire cottage, immaculately-presented in a perfect setting for a great family holiday all year round.
