“I really enjoyed my stay.”

The cottage had everything I needed. I stayed with my 3 dogs and it was very cosy and comfortable. The nearby beaches, Freshwater East, Barafundle, Coppet Bay, Saundersfoot, Tenby, Manorbier and Wiseman’s bridge were all fabulous! I loved the location of the cottage, set in private grounds. I liked the open plan downstairs space - it heated up quickly. The bed was very comfortable. I would recommend it and would return if back in the area! Thankyou!

“What a lovely little Cottage.”

Located in beautiful countryside close to many towns and villages we wanted to visit. The cottage provided most of the amenities etc we needed and we had a wonderful week long stay there with our dog.

“Not at all comfortable especially for eating meals bar stools inadequate as in the room there is plenty of space for a small table and chairs, sink in bathroom cracked, plus various other things in the kitchenette missing.”

We did enjoy our stay but could have been a lot lot better.

“Rusty screws where bath handle was missing Rusty microwave Rusty radiators Cracked bathroom sink Had to buy a can opener from ASDA for £1.”

75. Empty washing up liquid No soap for handwashing, even in the toilet/bathroom No black bin liners One opened toilet roll provided for our weeks stay Front door handle hanging off Crumbling front door mat trip hazard Bedside cabinet in spare room front edging missing in places bathroom cabinet/mirror paint missing in places I contacted Sykes to complain about the condition of this property, who in turn contacted the owner regarding my request for compensation for this awful holiday The owner refused, but Sykes, as a gesture of good will refunded me £150. In my opinion the pictures you see on the internet do not reflect the true condition of this property. We have been booking with Sykes for years but this is by far the worst place we have stayed in, and we will definitely not be returning..

- Vince, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. After a season there are small jobs to sort and they are all been dealt with now. Upon your arrival you were clearly disgruntled that you had no enclosed garden and no freezer for which I apologised even though it’s stated on the website. You were very aggressive on the phone and rude and I did suggest you found somewhere else to stay which but You choose to stay for the full week. Carly Conbeer Property Owner

“We stayed at Beekeepers cottage as we have family in the area and used it as a base to see family and go on dog walks to beaches and surrounding.”

The cottage was very cool even on the really hot days and had a lovely grass area for the dog just outside. It was extremely quiet as its just outside the town of Pembroke there is no passing traffic. The owners were extremely good about our dog who can be a bit noisy in new places. It's only 10 min drive from an all year round dog friendly beach and is ideal position for exploring out and about. A 5 .in drive to nearest petrol station that sells every. I woukd definitely recommend Sunday Lunch at the Lamphey Hall Hotel, incredibly friendly and the food was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again when we are in the area visiting.

Sally July 2024

“Lovely little cottage, and the warm, homemade, Welsh cakes were a very welcoming touch.”

The bed was comfortable, as were the sofas, and the kitchen was basic, but adequate. This would have been a 4/5 star review apart from some dirty bowls put back in the rack, and an inadequate supply of glasses. This may sound trivial, but 2 matching wine glasses would be the least I would expect in a holiday property.

- Sally, July 2024

“Beekeeper's Cottage is one of the best cottages we've stayed in simply because the people who own actually thought about the needs of the people who would be using it, unlike a lot of the yuppie style cottages we find ourselves staying in.”

For example it has shelves everywhere to put 'stuff' on with the bathroom being particularly generous. There are plug socket outlets everywhere so we didn't need to use our obligatory extension lead! The heating was SO simple that we didn't need to go on a heating course to fathom it out, you simply turned the stat up for 'on' and turned it down for 'off'! The cottage was spotless and very comfortable, a real home from home set in beautiful countryside and within easy reach of all the touristy places including our smallest city St David's, and loads of theme parks on the road to Tenby specifically for the kids.

- Ron, May 2024

Thank you for staying with us it was a pleasure to have you stay with us. Property Owner

“Lovely hosts.”

Cottage very cosy. Will definitely book again soon.

“Lovely setting however, cleanliness was lacking.”

empty bottles of cleaner in cupboard, loose rice on shelf. Thick cobwebs throughout, skirting boards full of dog hair. Rubbish strewn in the outside space, broken trampoline. Would have been nice for a welcome pack. We have been to lots of cottages and this is the only one not to do this. This is constructive critism for the price, you really need to address these issues. this is a quick fix. Helen

“A lovely stay at Beekeepers Cottage.”

Very peaceful surroundings where you can just relax and unwind. Sadly the weather wasn’t always great (Storm Agnes thrown into the mix) but we manage to visit a few places on the better days. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable which still made those ‘days in’ enjoyable. We had one issue with no gas or hot water but this was swiftly rectified for us. The homemade welsh cakes were lovely too! Thank you!

- Antony, September 2023
Sarah September 2023

“This was our second stay at Beekeepers Cottage and once again it did not disappoint.”

This is a lovely, homely cottage in a great rural location but still handy for all our favourite places in the area, Tenby, Freshwater East, Stackpole, Angle. It was lovely to return to the cottage and relax after our days out in the sunshine and a special treat was the homemade, delicious welshcakes!

- Sarah, September 2023
Beth August 2023

“Good location for exploring Pembrokeshire, but… Tired, tatty and not very clean.”

Unsafe in places (rusty, broken handle fixings on bath, and broken stair gate). Sofa and cushions dirty and ripped in several places. Lumpy, saggy mattress. Feels like a place the owner stores things they no longer want (toys and household items). Cracked sink in bathroom. Poor WiFi and no power for several hours on 2 days of our stay. No radio or cd player. Could be so much nicer than it is.

- Beth, August 2023
Pauline July 2023

“The cottage offered everything we needed but some areas were very tired looking and repairs required.”

Handle missing off bath made access difficult. Could not use the oven as it was very dirty and produced black smoke when tried.outside furniture needed tidying up with some wood treatment and bench was broken. Bar stools far to high and 2 damaged.nick nacks around cottage made it homely but some if these were rusted and very dusty.

- Pauline, July 2023
Elizabeth May 2023

“The cottage is in a nice location.”

But it is in need of some tlc. The bathroom tile grouting is grubby and the step into and out of the bath is awkward as it is very high. The sink is cracked (I believe this was noted in a previous review). The kitchen is well stocked. The owner made us some Welsh cakes which were very nice.

- Elizabeth, May 2023
David November 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-nights stay at the Beekeeper’s Cottage.”

Located on a small hobby farm, just a few minutes drive from Pembroke, Wales. The pet-friendly cottage is well equipped with everything my wife and I needed for a comfortable and romantic stay. In fact, it was so cozy, we almost chose to remain indoors the entire time just to soak in its peaceful and cozy ambiance. That said, we did make day trips to the seaside villages of St. David’s and Tenby, both which are about an hour drive away in opposite directions. We would definitely choose to stay here if we’re event in Pembroke again.

- David, November 2022
D November 2022

“Beekeepers Cottage is cosy, with a comfortable bed, and good shower.”

It is well situated for touring the area. For us it was genuinely dog friendly. When the site refurbishment is completed it will be a really nice place.

- D, November 2022
Edith October 2022

“An enjoyable week spent at Beekeepers Cottage which was well equipped for all our needs.”

Bed was warm and comfortable, bathroom fine, but rather a deep step when getting out of bath/shower. Peaceful surroundings, with plenty of room for the dog. Easy access to many places of interest. Host provided us with a sample of her delicious Welsh cakes - Thank you!

- Edith, October 2022
Sally September 2022

Equipped with everything you need for a break away and a lovely outside area for sunny evenings when back from exploring.

Andrew July 2022

“The property suts in a gorgeous part of Wales, with so much to see and do.”

However the property was not very clean - dust, dirty velux window. There were a number of broken items in the bathroom - sink cracked, bath handle missing. The standard of refurbishment was poor - floor laid downstairs with large gaps, terrible creaking from the floor boards upstairs. Double bed really uncomfortable.

- Andrew, July 2022
Nicola July 2022

“This place was sooo lovely!”

We loved it here. A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. We would love to book here again.

“Great relaxing holiday.”

Cottage is spacious and comfortable; owners are friendly and helpful. Good location for all that Pembrokeshire offers - beaches, national parks, castles and history. Good mobile phone signal (O2) and we're not heavy social media or streaming service users, so internet perfectly adequate for email, texts, Google maps, web browsing and even phone updates. Well equipped, including washing machine (not mentioned in description).

“Great holiday.”

Lovely quaint cottage and good location for beaches and castles. Comfortable and welcoming owners the Welsh cakes were gorgeous. Would suggest a rearrange of sofas as hard to see tv in their current position. Another suggestion would be a coat rack as there is nowhere to hang coats. We were lucky with the weather being dry but if it had been set this could have been a problem. We really enjoyed our stay at Beekeepers and hope to come back again next year.

- Karen, November 2021

Thanks for your comments, there will be coat hooks provided and the sofas will be rearranged, thanks for letting me know. Property Owner
Karen November 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

However the fridge was very small. Lots of cobwebs that could have been hoovered up. The sink in the bathroom was cracked and the radiator was rusty. Sofas were comfy and location was great as very quiet. Good access to walks and nearby villages.

- Karen, November 2021

Many thanks for your feedback. I can confirm that the fridge is a standard size and I have not had feedback about this previously. The upstairs has been redecorated apart from a small hairline crack in the basin. The radiators have also been repainted.I am glad you found the sofas comfy. Property Owner
Graham September 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay but because of the location of the cottage we had to drive to the local restaurants.”

Walking along the narrow lanes was somewhat risky, hence my earlier comment.

“The home felt like a home and not a holiday place, we met a wonderful lady who showed us around, and told us about the history of the property.”

We spent a lot of our time on the patio outside the home, as the weather was amazing!! We made friends with the families two wonderful dogs and there two horses, the golden lab they have would escape to come and say hi, there were a few days we would wake up to the dog sat by the door waiting to see us. The home is very close to Pembroke Castle, 20 - 25 min walk through some wonderful countryside and through the main town, so many wonderful shops to walk around and everyone we met always had a smile on there face and were so friendly and happy to stop and chat. On our last day the family made Welsh Cakes for us to eat on our journey home, they were still warm when they brought them over.
