October 2024

“Great area & base for visiting places, Lewis was very helpful & thoughtful when we had problems with the WiFi.”

- Jill, October 2024

I am glad you were successful in the reason you visited the area and managed to assist you in this by reconnecting the broadband that appears to have been disrupted during the previous guests' stay. White Thorns is certainly in a location ideal for visiting all the beautiful surrounding areas of Pembrokeshire.. Property Owner
Fiona August 2024

“What a lovely bungalow and within a good distance of everything we wanted to do.”

The rooms were just so cosy and the kitchen was equipped with all we needed. Great shower and the bonus of a washing machine. As soon as our work holiday dates allow, we want to go back as was everything we needed. Thanks also to Kate and the cleaning service, you're marvelous. X

- Fiona, August 2024

I am glad you found White Thorns was to your liking and had all you wanted for an enjoyable three week stay. Thank you regarding your comments about Kate and her staff. They provide an excellent service and I highly recommend them to any holiday let owner. Property Owner
Allan August 2024

“The property was clean comfortable well heated and was a good base for all the facilities of Haverfordwest.”

The garden was dog safe and there was a nice patio area to sit out when the weather is fine. Overall the property was a little outdated and tired in places for instance the chairs in the dining room are too small in height for the table but the main rear bedroom and bathroom were fine.

- Allan, August 2024

I am glad you found that White Thorns was clean. warm, dog safe, bedrooms, bathroom, patio area as well as its location were to your satisfaction. Regarding the dining room the furniture is due to be replaced at the end of the season. Many of the features within the property add to its character and this would be lost if attempts were made to 'modernise' it. Property Owner
Sharon July 2024

“The bungalow and garden were spacious, the bungalow had everything needed for our stay but the smell was of an old property, and would benefit from new furniture.”

- Sharon, July 2024

I am glad you found the grounds and bungalow spacious and well equipped. Regarding your comments about the smell this has not come to our attention previously so I will look into this and take the appropriate action Property Owner
Angela July 2024

“Beautiful cottage very comfortable very clean great fully equipped kitchen in ...”

Beautiful cottage very comfortable very clean great fully equipped kitchen in closed very large garden which the dogs loved would highly recommend this cottage

- Angela, July 2024

Thank you for your kind comments that you and your dogs found White Thorns to your liking. Your recommendation is much appreciated. You will be very welcome to return in the future Property Owner
Patricia May 2024

“Cleaning needs improvement and the front garden could do with having a gate on it.”

Otherwise it is a spacious property and we had a lovely stay.

- Patricia, May 2024

I am glad you had a lovely stay. With regard the the two points raised. The cleaners maintain a high standard but sometimes something is missed so guests are sent an email before their arrival informing them that if there is something they are not happy with to contact the cleaners who will attend and rectify the matter for them. A gate to the front garden is not needed as the property has a very large very secure rear garden for pets and children. Property Owner
Gwilym May 2024

“Lovely Bungalow, plenty of room in rear lounge for 3 large dog beds.”

Great enclosed rear garden where our 3 labradors enjoyed playing and exploring. Location is perfect for access to town and beaches of west wales. We are looking forward to returning. Lewis the owner was always available if needed, by phone or email.

- Gwilym, May 2024

Thank you for all your comments. I am glad you, and especially your three beautiful Labradors, found White Thorns to their liking. I note you have already booked to stay at White Thorns again next year. Thank you for that. Lewis Property Owner
David April 2024

“DOG POO WAS FOUND ON THE REAR LAWN.”

TEA STAINS WERE FOUND ON THE DUVET. PREVIOUS RUBBISH WAS FOUND IN THE KITCHEN BIN, THE TOILET SEAT WAS LOOSE. BAGS FOR BED LINEN WERE NOT PRESENT ON LEAVING. THE TV SIGNAL WAS LOST ONE EVENING. THERE WAS NO ICE TRAY IN THE FREEZER. THE SHED AND PARASOL WERE DIRTY AND UNTIDY AND COVERED IN COBWEBS. ELECTRIC FIRE IN THE REAR LIVING ROOM TOO NOISY TO USE. THE ONE MILE WALK TO THE SHOPS IS STEEP AND NOT FOR THE ELDERLY WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. INFORMATION ON THE AWKWARD DRIVE/PARKING ISSUE WAS ONLY PROVIDED BY THE OWNER DIRECT AFTER BOOKING..THE CAR WAS SCRAPED UNDERNEATH AT THE FRONT. WE WERE TELEPHONED BY THE OWNERS WHILST DRIVING ON LEAVING WHICH WAS NOT WELCOME AND I REGARD AS A BREACH OF PRIVACY...I SEE NO REASON WHY THE OWNER SHOULD BE GIVEN THE SYKES CUSTOMERS PHONE AND EMAIL. WILL NOT USE SYKES AGAIN.

- David, April 2024

Your comments are noted and I am sorry, if somewhat surprised, about some of your comments having regard to those of recent previous guests. Guests contact information is provided to the property owner as you enter in to a contract with us as well as a contract with the booking agent. Sometimes it is necessary to contact our customer's due to unforeseen circumstances or urgent maintenance issues. All guests are sent email communication prior to their visit in order to receive the relevant key collection information. This includes the request that if UPON THEIR ARRIVAL they find something that needs rectifying to contact the cleaning company so that the appropriate action could be taken. There is no record of this occurring. It also advises how to correctly approach the drive. The parasol was at the time was brand new and again the email explains where to leave any used linen and towels. Please note that if we were made aware of any issues during your stay it would have been in our best interest to resolve them for you in a timely manner. If you wish to discuss your feedback further, please do not hesitate to contact us. Property Owner
Jacqui April 2024

“So glad I chose this property for a weekend break.”

The weather was grim but the bungalow was warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed and the rear garden was very much appreciated by our dog.

- Jacqui, April 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. Hopefully you will want to return again for a longer stay when the weather is better. You will be most welcome. Lewis Property Owner
Steven March 2024

“Lovely bungalow in a great location to explore Pembrokeshire.”

Not far from many coastal walks which are stunning. Lost Coins pub is a great place for food and drinks and is a 5 minute drive. The bungalow is a nice size and has a fantastic size garden (that the dog really enjoyed). It was also very clean and tidy. Only one small issue was the internet connection wasn’t great but that’s Vodafone’s issue not the owners. All in all a great place.

- Steven, March 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad you had a good time. As well as its ideal location to visit all parts of Pembrokeshire White Thorns provides a large secure garden for guests' dogs to run around. Unfortunately like many parts of the UK the Wifi system has its good days and bad days. Lewis Property Owner
Jean-pierre February 2024

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Thorns.”

Fabulous house in the perfect location for visiting the surrounding area. Tenby, Cardigan and St Davids all less than an hour from the location. House was clean, very spacious and warm with a huge garden which was fantastic for our dogs. We would definitely stay here again.

- Jean-pierre, February 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. You will be most welcome to stay again maybe for longer to give you the opportunity to visit the numerous attraction in the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire including its stunning sandy beaches. Many thanks Lewis Property Owner
Karl November 2023

“Stayed at White Thorns same week last year, very spacious bungalow great ...”

Stayed at White Thorns same week last year, very spacious bungalow great enclosed rear garden for children or your dogs, 10 minute walk down to the town with every pub dog friendly, Bristol Trader for good food if you have a dog or plenty of others if not, want a good value breakfast with/without the dog halfway cafe on the road to Pembroke dock don’t be put off with it in a lay-by it’s spotless and the food breakfast/ lunch is amazing Only comments I have about White Thorns 1) I always back in having an estate a lot of car has to be out before you can see what’s coming down hill ( nobody is doing 20) 2) whilst walking down hill to town is ok it’s a trek back uphill, plenty of taxis on rank in town though

- Karl, November 2023

Glad you find White Thorns to your liking. Hopefully you will want to return for a third time by which time I hope to have addressed your comments as per point 1. Many thanks. Lewis Property Owner
Jacki November 2023

“White Thorns provided a very comfortable, warm base for our visit to Pembrokeshire to see family.”

The accommodation is very large and there is plenty of room. White Thorns is quite dated however this isnt a negative comment, it has a certain charm which made it very welcoming. Beds were super comfortable. Walk in shower was great. Drive up to property is steep . Garden at rear is dog friendly and secure. Kitchen was only area we felt lacking ....the room was a bit pokey oven seemed hit or miss and some of the pans had seen better days. Its a 10 minute walk into Haverfordwest town and plenty of supermarkets localy. White Thorns was also 10 mins to train station. Great road network to popular areas such as St Davids, Tenby and Saundersfoot. The acvomodation was clean and there were ample towels and sheets fresh and crisp. A thoughtfull welcome gift of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits.Internet was a little hit and miss. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend as a comfortable spacious warm base to explore the area.

- Jacki, November 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and am glad you recommend White Thorns and be happy to stay again. I will look into the points you raised concerning the items in the kitchen. Lewis Property Owner
Vicky October 2023

“Loved every minute of our stay.”

The bungalow is more than I could of wished for, comfortable, clean and homely. It is also very nice, picturess chocolate box style. Hope we can go again sometime

- Vicky, October 2023

Thank very much for your comments about your stay. Hope you do have a chance to return. You will be most welcome. Lewis Property Owner
Jane October 2023

“A lovely large bungalow with a fabulous sized garden, especially good when you have 3 dogs!”

Very comfortable. Close to amenities and it was great being within a short drive of the beach.

- Jane, October 2023

I'm glad White Thorns was to you and your dogs liking and found it's location ideal to visit the attractions of Pembrokeshire. Lewis Property Owner
Graham September 2023

“A delightful property as described.”

The garden is huge and very doggy proof. Ideal for our dog Mabel to chase balls up and down. Property is like a Tardis so many rooms and very large. Nice welcome treats on arrival which is always good. Be aware as others have stated the drive at front is steep but doable ( First gear essential, drive on and reverse carefully out ). Beds very comfortable , great sleep all round. Lots of channels on tv freeview and some apps such as BBC I player and others. Bathroom has a great shower and is large. Very well placed for Tenby, St Davids etc all within easy driving.

- Graham, September 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad you and Mabel found White Thorns to your liking. It is well situated to visit the numerous attractions in the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire. You will be most welcome to stay again. Lewis Property Owner
Stephen September 2023

“We had a brilliant stay at Whitethorns I can't fault anything about it.”

There was a lovely big garden for our 2 dogs to play in and the size of the bungalow was amazing ( although there was only two of us and our two dogs). It is situated in Pembrokeshire , which as lovely beaches close by, also many interesting places to visit. The owner Lewis is very helpful. On our arrival we was welcomed with some toffee waffles and some very nice coffee. It's definitely a ten out of ten we would highly recommend Whitethorns.

- Stephen, September 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. Pembrokeshire and White Thorns certainly has much to offer. I am glad you and your dogs enjoyed the stay and hope you will return. You will be most welcome Lewis Property Owner
Linda Jean August 2023

“Excellent accommodation and location.”

Bungalow was everything described in the info. Very spacious. The location was close to shops and yet in a quiet suburb. Would highly recommend BOTH White Thorns and Sykes.

- Linda Jean, August 2023

I am glad you found White Thorns to your liking. You will be most welcome to return in the future for a further stay. Lewis Property Owner
Keith August 2023

“Brilliant place loved it the moment we arrived.”

Wish we had booked 2 weeks instead of just the 1. The garden was superb and allowed the Dogs to safely run free. The house had a very beautiful old world type feel to it. Kitchen was excellent. Bathroom had a wonderful and easy to use shower. Two spacious Lounges, lovely Dining Room. Bedrooms were top notch and comfortable beds. Hallway was very retro, loved walking down it. A couple of concerns, 1 disposal of Rubbish, we put our bags with the others in the small room behind the Garage. Is it collected regularly? 2. The Driveway is very tough to manoeuvre. The car really struggled getting up it and also going down onto the main road. Our stay was perfect though. I was literally in tears the evening before and on the morning we left. My dream place is real and is called White Thorns.

- Keith, August 2023

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I am glad you had an enjoyable stay at White Thorns and found the property to your liking. Hopefully you will have a chance to stay again, maybe next time for two weeks. Lewis Property Owner
Angela July 2023

“A large spacious property with a massive garden ideally situated for exploring Pembrokeshire”

- Angela, July 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. White Thorns is very spacious inside and outside and ideally situated to visit all parts of Pembrokeshire. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to visit again. Lewis Property Owner
Florence June 2023

“Spacious property but in need of some tlc but extremely quiet and peaceful.”

Anything you needed was available and the garden for our 2 dogs was amazing - from the patio door to wide open space. Garden patio could do with an umbrella/ shade, we had lovely weather but too hot on the patio at times! Great location for access to the coast and beaches. We will be back!!

- Florence, June 2023

I'm glad you had good weather and intend to return in the future, you will be most welcome. Unfortunately the patio umbrella was damaged by the wind and a replacement also damaged beyond repair somehow. Lewis Property Owner
Daniel May 2023

“White thorns was perfect, clean and tidy as well as very comfortable.”

The garden is huge and both the kids and dog had a lot of fun in it in the late afternoons and early evening running about. Couldn't fault anything about the stay and would love to come back in the future.

- Daniel, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at White Thorns and that the children and dog found the garden to their liking as I'm sure they did the numerous sandy beaches. You will be most welcome to return again Lewis Property Owner
Mareisa May 2023

“We had a lovely holiday, it was the first time our one year old dogs had been on holiday they loved the garden it was fully enclosed tested by our Houdini dog no escape route.”

The cottage was lovely we had everything we needed it's very spacious and clean, the driveway was not a problem to drive on and reverse out. We'll definitely be coming back it's such a beautiful area. I have never been to a place that is so dog friendly. We enjoyed the Welsh cakes thanks for helping tick that off my list of things to do.

- Mareisa, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and am pleased you enjoyed your stay at White Thorns. I have tried to make the rear garden secure and am glad 'Houdini's' escape attempts were thwarted. Pembrokeshire is certainly a beautiful County. You will be most welcome to stay again in the future. Lewis Property Owner
Hazel May 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay!”

Yes, parts of the bungalow are dated, but everything was clean, the beds and lounge furniture were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked - and we appreciated the welcome package when we arrived. Our dogs loved the large garden too. The bungalow is s well placed, easy to get to all areas of Pembrokeshire. We hope to book again soon

- Hazel, May 2023

I thank you for your kind comments and you will be most welcome to return again in the future. I try to maintain a standard of cleanliness and comfort expected by guests. The large secure rear garden is ideal for dogs (and young children) Lewis Property Owner
Pauline May 2023

“A brilliant spacious cottage.”

Massive, secure back garden. Quiet position. Would definitely stay again.

- Pauline, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad you found 'White Thorns' to your liking and had an enjoyable stay. I hope you will have the opportunity to stay again in the future. You will be most welcome. Lewis Property Owner

“Lovely bungalow in a great location with a big dog friendly garden.”

- John, April 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. It is well located for visiting all of the beautiful Country of Pembrokeshire as well as a large garden where owners can feel their dogs are secure. Hope you have the opportunity to stay again. Lewis Property Owner
Kasia March 2023

“The cottage is great and very specious.”

Well equipped. You got everything you need for a long or short stay. Great location, huge garden, value for money. I definitely recommend the property.

- Kasia, March 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. 'White Thorns' is ideally located to visit the various attractions in the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire. I try to provide for the needs of guests to have an enjoyable stay. I hope you will have the opportunity to stay again, you will be most welcome. Many Thanks. Lewis Property Owner

- Margaret, March 2023

I thank you for your kind comments and am glad you had an enjoyable stay at White Thorns. I look forward to you visiting again. You will be most welcome. Lewis Property Owner
Justine January 2023

“We had a delightful stay in what turned out to be a 1930s, family owned, period bungalow with lots of original features and fascinating history.”

The property had a lovely atmosphere and, whilst obviously being a holiday rental, had a real welcoming warmth and cosiness about it. There was lots of space, inside and out, for us and our three large dogs (who, unusually, didn't find any escape route). It was clean, had absolutely everything we needed and, on arrival, a small welcome pack was provided. We have family in Haverfordwest and will certainly pay a return visit to White Thorns.

- Justine, January 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad White Thorns was to your liking as well as giving you the peace of mind that your three dogs were secure. You are most welcome to stay again in the future. Lewis Property Owner
Derek December 2022

“1 . Brown settee in back room filthy and smelling.”

2. Double bed mattress in a shocking state. 3. Rear back light not working. 4. Bungalow interior needs updating. 5. We will not book this bungalow again. .

- Derek, December 2022

I am sorry to hear you were so disappointed that you will not be booking White Thorns again. The cleaners are surprised you did not report the alleged situation regarding the settee and bed upon your arrival so they could have taken the appropriate action. Lewis Property Owner
Karl December 2022

“The cottage was excellent for us with the two dogs, everything you needed for a home from home was available , garden is good size and secure although small dogs might try their luck in the hedge.”

Walking to town is a 10 minute walk although coming back is not for everyone. Only one small gripe we found on arrival better to back up the steep drive as no turning point at the top

- Karl, December 2022

Thank you for your very kind comments. I am glad you found 'White Thorns' was to your liking. With regard to your two comments if a small dogs was able to crawl under the privat hedge it would be met with the imperitable next door neighbour's fence. The layout of the property does not allow a turning point but many guests do reverse up the recently much widened drive. Hopefully you will want to return to the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire and you will be most welcome to stay at White Thorns. Lewis Property Owner
Jacqueline November 2022

“It was perfect for us and our dog- The owner very kindly let us have the property a few hours earlier, this enabled us to find the property easily , rather than unpack in the dark.”

It was lovely and warm and cosy and although close to the town, it was very quiet Although some of the furniture is slightly dated, the bedrooms were very comfortable, and loved having the 2 sitting rooms, as we used one in the morning and one in the evening - The garden was great for the dog, even in November- though we did block off the front entrace to the front garden as no gate. There are very few minuses but - if it is a minus is that the drive is a bit on the steep side - there is only one bathroom/toilet ,- and although you can walk into town, its downhill there and uphill back, so would be difficult walking with shopping- but would highly recommend this property

- Jacqueline, November 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. It certainly is a bonus for guests to have two lounges to use depending on the time of day or those with children who want their own space. The large secure rear garden is certainly ideal for dog owners and those with children. Many thanks Lewis Property Owner
Stephen August 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

Very spacious, everything we needed supplied. Garden absolutely amazing, very large, our dogs loved it. Only criticism was security light on back garden not working. Small welcome pack of milk and bread etc. would be a nice touch, especially after a long car journey. Would love to return.

- Stephen, August 2022

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and found White Thorns to your liking. You will be most welcome to return. Regarding your comments in relation to a welcome pack one should be left for the arrival of all guests. I am in discussion with those responsible for providing it why one was not left on this occasion. Thank you for pointing out the rear security light is not working. I will arrange for its replacement. Lewis Property Owner
Ellen August 2022

“Lovely large clean bungalow.”

Would be better if the walkway the other side of the patio doors could be raised a bit as it's a bit awkward going in and out of the door.

- Ellen, August 2022

Thank you for your review. With regard to your comments in relation to the patio door I will look into it and see if anything can be done. Hopefully you will wish to return to White Thorns again in the future. Lewis Property Owner
Joanne June 2022

“Having three dogs, it limits our choices when booking holiday accommodation however we all agreed that White Thorns was perfect for us.”

The location couldn't have been better - close to town but far enough away that you only heard birdsong in the morning! The garden was amazing and totally secure. The bungalow provided everything we needed for our stay. Located close to many lovely places meant that we had some wonderful days out in Carew, Fishguard, St Davids, St Clears, St Dogmaels, Solva etc - coastline and scenery was stunning. Would definitely recommend and return.

- Joanne, June 2022

Thank you very much for your kind comments. White Thorns does provide a large secure area for dogs to run free providing peace of mind for their owners. It is also perfectly located for visiting all parts of the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. You will be most welcome to return in the future. Lewis Property Owner
Maureen May 2022

“Everything was as stated drive is hard to access coming up the hill, wifi did not reach rear lounge.”

Back garden excellent for dogs and children.

- Maureen, May 2022

Thank you for your constructive comments which are always appreciated. I will have the wi-fi enhancer checked in the rear lounge. Regarding the drive this is the reason I advice guests in an email to approach it down the hill which causes no problem. The large secure rear garden is certainly a plus. Glad you had a good time and hope to see you again in the near future. Lewis Property Owner
Sarah March 2022

“The bungalow was very spacious and clean.”

It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The bed was very comfortable and the location was quiet. The garden was huge and made it enjoyable for our dog too! It was in a great location, an easy 10min walk into town and a short drive to the beaches. The only minor point, which we knew about from others’ feedback, was negotiating the driveway, especially in the dark when it was almost impossible to see where you were going despite the security light. We note that the owner is intending to do something about widening the driveway, but wonder if additional lights and perhaps a mirror to help reverse out into the road might help in the short term? We had a great stay and would recommend the property.

- Sarah, March 2022

Thank you for your kind comments and am glad you had an enjoyable stay. You will be most welcome should you wish to return to the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire. The drive is due to be widened shortly and this will overcome the point you made. PS. The drive has now been widened and realigned thereby overcoming the above points. Lewis Property Owner
Lizzie February 2022

“We had such an amazing stay, the house was wonderful, really clean, very spacious and comfy.”

Close to shops, pubs etc and a short drive to lots of incredible coastal delights!

- Lizzie, February 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. The property is spacious both internally and externally and in an ideal location to visit the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire with its outstanding coast, beaches, attractions and facilities that makes any holiday there a pleasure. Property Owner

“Very comfortable spacious bungalow - very clean with a large safe garden in a convenient location, within walking distance from the centre of Haverfordwest.”

Would be happy to return.

- Anonymous, February 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback and look forward to you visiting White Thorns again. I am glad you appreciated its location; and spaciousness; including two lounges together with a large secure rear garden. Lewis Property Owner

“White Thorns is a welcoming comfortable house in a quiet neighbourhood.”

The location is great to explore Pembrokeshire. We hope to go back!

Thank you for your comments and am glad you had a pleasant visit. The property is certainly well located to easily visit all parts of the beautiful County of Pembrokeshire. You would be most welcome to return. Lewis Property Owner

“The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”

Would totally recommend both Sykes Cottages and White Thorns to anyone.

- Jamie, July 2021
Simon June 2021

“A great location to access the Pembrokeshire coast and much more.”

Very large garden was great for the dog too. Half mile walk into to a town so everything you need in easy access

- Simon, June 2021
Steve June 2021

“Easy 10 minute walk into town.”

Very quiet location. Only niggle was that we should have been warned there were no tea-towels or oven gloves.

- Steve, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We were happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at White Thorns. You do need to bring tea-towels and oven gloves with you. These and other items needed are listed on your key collection details. Property Owner
Jayne May 2021

“We had a great stay at White Thorns, the location for exploring Pembrokeshire was fantastic and the house was comfortable.”

Nice clean linen, a great range of games to play with, good TV's, the house has some beautiful original features it would of been nice for the owner to make the most of these and update the decor a little. It looks a little tired in places but it wouldn't put me off staying again. Maybe allowing guests access to the garage and moving the washing machine in there and having a dishwasher in the kitchen would be helpful as no one want to wash up on holiday. Overall a great holiday and we would return.

- Jayne, May 2021
Margaret October 2020

“Accommodation well situated for easy travelling to Pembrokeshire coast.”

The Coastal Path was well worth walking, we saw lots of wildlife along the way. Not sure where the beach was at only 4 miles away! Good Shower, rooms very pleasant, well furnished, super secure garden to run my dog in. Cooker worked well. Hot water took a long time to come through in the kitchen and bathroom but was nice and hot when it did. Heating was efficient. Patio in garden was well situated to catch the afternoon sun. The access from the road is not ideal for a car - getting out was a problem as you couldn't turn around at the top of the drive. Part of the front garden could be taken out to accommodate a car turning around which would make it much safer to get out.

- Margaret, October 2020
Francis September 2020

“Fabulous property, very dog friendly.”

Large garden meant we were able to sit out and enjoy the weather.

- Francis, September 2020

“Great bungalow, perfectly located for exploring Pembrokeshire.”

Very spacious, clean and well equipped.

Alun July 2020

“A lovely property with two living rooms and three bedrooms - a twin, large double and single.”

Plenty of space. Our children enjoyed the very large garden space. Really good location close to Haverfordwest centre yet in a quiet area with a nice short walk to the river. Close to big supermarkets as well. It didn’t feel like you were close to a town centre. Good options for beaches all around. A steep driveway to the house. No problem reversing down as joining road fairly quiet.

- Alun, July 2020
P July 2020

“The freedom to enjoy everythink in the time allowed.”

Robin September 2019

“Really enjoyed ourselves , nice break with lovely weather so long walks along the river with the dogs who really enjoyed themselves .”

Every person we met in Havorfordwest was very friendly , i cannot fault the people .

- Robin, September 2019
Alison August 2019

“What a find!”

This lovely property was very conveniently situated for exploring South Wales and it’s lovely beaches. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us which, thoughtfully, contained things we needed to start our holiday and a couple of luxuries too. The owner contacted us a couple of times before our visit giving us valuable information such as roadworks in the area and the fact that Pembroke Show would be on during our stay so that pubs, restaurants etc could be busy so it would be advisable to book in advance. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property nor returning in the future.

- Alison, August 2019
Jacki July 2019

“We had a lovely two weeks staying at White Thorns.”

The house and garden had lots of space and the facilities were excellent, a real home from home with everything that we needed, despite some of the decor being a little dated. The garden was brilliant for the dogs, information supplied in the cottage emphasised that dogs should not be left unattended in the garden as they may be able to get through the fence/hedge. There was a large patio area which meant we could sit out in the evening which we loved. The WiFi was excellent too. The ‘Welsh’ welcome pack was a really nice gesture and much appreciated after a long journey. We visit this area regularly and have previously stayed at Nolton and Hasguard’s Cross but found this location much more convenient, both for the town and for driving to the beaches as the routes were main roads rather than single track country roads. When we arrived, everywhere was lovely and clean, apart from the bathroom which was quite grubby. We really appreciated the clean linen half way through the 2 week holiday. We do feel that the kitchen would benefit from an under counter freezer as the small freezer is not appropriate for a family and that the step in kitchen (near to the fridge) is painted a different colour to prevent tripping. Overall we had a lovely holiday and will definitely be returning to White Thorns.

“The property looked tired and we had problems with security of the rear patio doors that we could not lock.”

This we understand to be on going problem that’s need urgent attention an we did report this on the first day of our holiday. Toilet seat was broken too. The garden was large with a patio to sit at but dog owners be ware as our dog got out of the garden and gave us a scare, no places to walk the dog from the house only roads so had to drive to more suitable areas.

Thank you for your feedback. The owner apologises for the patio door issues you had during your stay. I understand that as the owner themselves were on holiday and were unable to rectify the patio door themselves they sent their cleaning company to assist you. The cleaning team advised that it was a problem with a bent key and they tried to contact a handyman to have it fixed for you asap. Unfortunately, as the owner was out of the country it took longer to arrange this than first thought, the owner advised you to isolate the broken lock by locking another internal door making the property safe until the handyman could be with you. The locking mechanism has now been replaced. The toilet seat just needed tightening as it came loose, this has now been fixed. With reference to the garden, although our properties are advertised a being pet friendly, it is not possible to make and garden dog proof. Property Owner

“White Thorns is a large property well located for exploring Pembrokeshire.”

We enjoyed having the benefit of 2 lounges and the garden was enormous (although a previous renter had not cleaned up after their dog!). Great base for hitting the coast. The property boasted everything we needed (although a freezer would have been helpful) and allowed us to have a great holiday in this beautiful part of the country.
