“Hawthorn House was a lovely house & conveniently located to the towns amenities & to visit various places.”

The garden was fantastic for the dogs, long & secure. Kitchen well equipped. Bed in the backroom bedroom comfortable. Only one issue was the shower dripping continually, when bathroom door shut didn't hear it but wasting water. Had a lovely stay

“Where to begin?”

Hawthorn House is beautiful. The Garden is beautiful. Dogs ran around safely in the Garden with no concerns they may escape. The Garden also has a handy Picnic Table which we took full advantage of for eating at and playing board games on in the lovely sun as the Dogs languished or played on the lawn. The Hallway that greets you has a marvellous floor, leads through to the spacious Kitchen, whose window looks out onto the Garden. Kitchen has brilliant facilities and plenty of counter space. Small WC just before the Kitchen was very handy. Nice back door leading to the Garden, handy night light placed outside was very handy when the Dogs needed to be let out at night. Lounge is awesome, bijou, two lovely Sofas, nice large TV , cute fireplace with lovely mantle above it. Dining room is lovely and big, nice large dining table, fantastic not just for eating at but playing board games on too. Upstairs is great. Nice staircase leads to directly opposite a small and handy utility room with a stunning view out of its window. Next to the utility room is the main bathroom, lovely sized bath with an awesome anti slip mat that was really appreciated. Nice sized main bathroom. Hallway leads to the three bedrooms. Again, a great view from the master bedroom window. The other two bedrooms overlook Lower Lamphrey Road below. Beds wear made well, fresh linen , loads of towels supplied. Parking at Hawthorne House is great , the neighbours were extremely courteous, keeping the space outside Hawthorn House clear. As for the location of Hawthorn House, the town of Pembroke is literally at the end of the road. A handy One Stop shop for things you may need quickly was just off the roundabout. Aldi is a short car drive away. Freshwater Beach is about three miles away and is the other end of Lower Lamphery Road turn right and you’re more or less there, beach is Dog Friendly too, all of it. To sum up, Hawthorn House is a beautiful, comfortable, quiet place with a lovely Garden, lovely Neighbours, especially Rory the Cat, ideally placed. Tenby 10 miles away, Haverfordwest 11 miles away, Picton Castle about 7 miles away and Freshwater Beach about 3 miles away. Brilliant, beautiful home. Kelly is incredibly helpful and easy to reach should you need any questions answered. Her welcome pack is well thought out, easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to return.

“A nice spacious , comfortable house in a quiet location just out of town, Nice enclosed garden for the dog, We'll definitely book this one again in the near future.”

Wendy February 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Hawthorn House.”

It was a very comfortable house with some lovely original features that gave it character too. The location was ideal with a few minutes walk to local shops and pubs. Parking was not a problem and the garden was a super bonus for Rufus our Cockapoo. Pembroke was a very friendly town from shopkeepers, bar staff, Castle guides and chip shop owners!

- Wendy, February 2024
Kati January 2024

“Thank you for a wonderful stay.”

We found the house cosy and welcoming with plenty to keep us warm and entertained. Hawthorn House was a welcome respite during two weeks visiting family in a local care home. The only things I would have wished for were a few more kitchen items like basic herbs, and milk to go with the tea bags you kindly provided. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

“Found the property a bit cold down stairs when heating was of and didn’t think the electric fires helped too dry .”

- Bernard, December 2023

I am sorry to hear you felt cold in the property. However the property heats up very quickly when the thermostat is put the the correct temperature. I wish you would of contacted me as i would of demonstrated how to get the property to a nice cosy temp Many thanks Kelly Property Owner

Elizabeth September 2023

“Lovely, cosy, well-equipped house with plenty of room and good facilities.”

Comfy beds and plenty of hot water. Great, enclosed back garden - shame the weather didn't allow us to make full use of it! We also appreciated the milk, bread and cereals kindly left for us. The only slight drawback is the upstairs layout. There are 5 stairs down and 3 back up between the bedrooms and the bathroom. My 85-year-old mother found these a problem at night but they wouldn't be an issue for a family. Mum was very glad of the downstairs toilet in the daytime!

- Elizabeth, September 2023

Susan June 2022

“Hawthorn House is very good value for money.”

It could actually sleep 7 . The beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the sofas were so low down we had difficulty getting in and out of them. For that reason alone we wouldn’t use the house again. The biggest plus was the garden. Completely secure for the dogs. The owners are great and very helpful.

Thankyou for your feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kelly and nick x Property Owner
Yvonne June 2022

“We had a lovely stay in a comfortable home from home and the dog lived having the big garden to run around in.”

Pembroke is beautiful and a good base for local beaches and towns. Highly recommend PS not absolutely necessary but a dishwasher would be lovely

- Yvonne, June 2022

Thankyou for you feedback we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Many thanks Kelly and nick x Property Owner
Wendy April 2022

“Lovely homely house.”

Beds very comfy and warm. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated as we didn't have much room in the car to bring food, etc. Added bonus of Netflix and a downstairs toilet. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

- Wendy, April 2022

Thankyou so much for your feedback. Kelly and nick x Property Owner
Lisa March 2022

“Second time we have visited.”

We had a wonderful stay and were very happy with the facilities and how clean the house was. Only negative is that the bottom toilet seat seemed wobbly and also felt a bit overlooked by the neighbours when in the garden maybe a wicker fence for a bit more privacy apart from that it is absolutely lovely and we were very sad to leave. I want to revisit in June but sadly the price is too high

- Lisa, March 2022

Thankyou for your feedback. Glad to here you enjoyed your stay I will make sure I look at the toilet seat on the next changeover. Kelly and nick xx Property Owner

Dave October 2021

“The property was well situated near a number of fantastic beaches and the visitor notes were particularly helpful, as was the welcome food pack!”

However, the house itself could have been a lot cleaner and, as previous reviews have highlighted, there was lots of damp in the bathoom and kitchen. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen looked like it had recently been updated with new good and a nice big fridge and freezor.

- Dave, October 2021

Thankyou for your feedback the kitchen damp was not a simple fix but we have found a damaged pipe under the floor. This has now been fixed and the property has been given a deep clean. Property Owner
Sue September 2021

“The house felt very welcoming when we arrived it was in easy walking distance to the lovely town we could walk the dogs freely around the lake and Castle which was a big plus.”

The beds were very comfortable,The facilities good, My sister and I enjoyed our stay and appreciated the sunny snug that looked over the garden and view beyond. Would definitely return.

- Sue, September 2021
Anita September 2021

“On arrival to the property and opening the door there was a strong smell of damp, this was quite bad and was also noticeable in other areas of the house, downstairs toilet and bedroom upstairs with bunk beds, bathroom window was painted shut and that wasn't ideal.”

had to buy scented candles to help with the smell, a good airing helped , but definitely an issue. beds were comfy , downstairs toilet had no sink in there, which was strange.

- Anita, September 2021

Many thanks for your feedback. The damp has now been fixed. This was not an easy fix as we had to repair a pipe under the floor which was leaking. Property Owner
Amanda August 2021

“ENJOYED OUR STAY, NICE HOUSE, GOOD LOCATION COULD DO WITH A DISHWASHER .”

THE KITCHEN AND LOO HAD A BAD DAMP SMELL WHICH WAS MENTIONED IN THE OTHER REVIEWS, OVERALL NICE HOLIDAY

- Amanda, August 2021
Helen August 2021

“Based on previous reviews we knew what to expect but hoped that some of the complaints would have been dealt with.”

Unfortunately not. Please arrange for the bathroom window to be made to open, it is currently painted shut and the fan is not sufficient to extract the steam making the bathroom constantly damp. Please provide a bread knife in the kitchen. The fire in the front room does not work. It could be that the batteries in the remote are dead? Nearly everything squeaks so a good dose of wd40 is needed on door hinges etc. On the plus points the beds were comfy, the house was clean and well stocked and provided a good base to explore Pembrokeshire.

- Helen, August 2021
Robert July 2021

“Good value for time of year.”

Clean and tidy Friendly neighbour Handy location Some areas a little dated but not a problem Maybe some more seating in the garden close to the house No brooms only a vacuum to deal with the sand. Had a great stay

- Robert, July 2021
Lesley July 2021

“Lovely comfortable house, a real home from home.”

Beautifully positioned for lovely beaches and we hope to be able to return.

“Great property in a good location.”

Highly recommended.

- Amanda, June 2021
Joanna June 2021

“Very thick duvet which is lovely, especially on cold days, however it was hot and the duvets were very hot.”

It would of been nice to have some sheets so we could of used them as a cooler option if we chose to use them. There were no sheets to make up the camp bed. There is a big trip hazard in the garden with a concrete lintel in the paving 3 of us tripped on it and my husband bruised his toe. The furniture is old and very rickety especial the dinning room table and chairs and the dressing room chair in the back bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped and the house is in a really good location with lovely neighbours.

- Joanna, June 2021
Samantha June 2021

“The house is quite damp, it was good weather for the beginning of the week, the house smells a bit musty, our towels, clothes etc felt a bit damp.”

The bathroom window doesn't open which probably adds to the problem, there needs to be more seating in the living room and the TV randomly makes a loud buzzing noise, you need to switch it off and on again to fix this issue. The crockery and the cutlery was dirty when we arrived. It has been freshly decorated which looked good. We were happy with the price of it. The garden and house size itself is great, just needs the damp problem sorting out, or maybe a few dehumidifiers placed around the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay, apart from these minor issues. We would probably stay again if the damp problem was addressed or dehumidifiers placed.

Micheala May 2021

“It was disappointing to hear that a red wine spillage caused so much consternation from the owner.”

My 9 year old daughter inadvertently spilled my glass of wine which I had taken upstairs. I washed the sheet and cleaned up the spillage however some remained on the quilt and pillow case. I put a message in the visitors book and apologised. However I received a call to advise the owner had made a complaint. I understand the inconvenience however, surely it can be a potential for spillages to happen. We cleaned and hoovered the cottage before we left and treated the property with respect and consideration . It might be a good idea to have a dishwasher also. We paid just under £1000. For a week which is a substantial fee. Parking was also challenging . However lovely stay, very friendly neighbour who gave us tips on where best to go.

The property

In the historic town of Pembroke in South Wales rests this charming mid-terrace period property, Hawthorn House, hosting three bedrooms and several reception rooms, it presents a lovely location for a break in Wales.

Near to the popular seaside resort of Tenby, Pembroke is also known for its medieval walls and being the birthplace of Henry Tudor, with plenty of attractions and places to go in the town and surrounding area.

Enter the property and be welcomed into the high ceiling hallway with period tiles and original mouldings, original wood doors and reclaimed wood flooring, stepping into the front sitting room where you can wind down into your evening on the sofa with an electric fire in here, and one in the dining room as well, adding a homely feel while you watch a film on the TV.

Go through the sliding door into the dining room with the original Ruabon black and red tiled floor, and gather around the dining table for family meals or bring a board game along with you on holiday and spend quality time together in here, with the kitchen in the next room presenting all you need for a great self-catered stay, including an electric oven with gas hob and a washing machine and tumble dryer so you can pack light!

Head upstairs to find a wonderful snug room with a sofa in here for you to delight in a quiet moment with a book, or simply take in the country views from the window.

Choose one of the three lovely bedrooms, with two double bedrooms, with original wooding flooring in the master room, and a bunk room to choose from, served by the family bathroom.

The enclosed garden has a long stretch of lawn perfect to let the dogs stretch their legs on, and bench seating on the patio for some alfresco dining in summer.

Stroll into the centre of Pembroke and discover the history within the town's medieval walls; visit Pembroke Castle to enjoy the incredible views from the top of the castle and see the amazing 12th century keep which is an architectural novelty thanks to its huge cylindrical tower and unusual stone dome.

Discover fun for all ages at Heatherton World of Activities where you can try paintballing and archery, or swing through the trees along their treetop trail, with fishing available here too as well as golf and a café.

Freshwater East beach is just a 15 minute drive away and has two pubs you could choose to drink or dine in, making it prefect for a couple or small family wishing to enjoy the stunning South Pembrokeshire coast.

The Upton Castle Gardens are a haven for gardening enthusiasts, or those who simply enjoy peaceful and tranquil surroundings, consisting of 35-acres of listed historic gardens surrounding a 13th century castle.

Travel south to the coast to roam the scenic 5-square mile estate of Stackpole Park, with farmland, woods, lakes and coastal cliffs and beaches to discover.

Tenby North Beach boasts golden sands with Goskar rock sticking out in the middle, it is a classic seaside destination to enjoy on a sunny day, hire a boat, sunbathe on the beach, take a dip or walk along the coast to find Tenby Castle, Tenby Museum & Art Gallert and Castle Beach.

Hawthorn House is a delightful property for a holiday to South Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
