“Firstly, being notified of the removal of the hot tub only 4 days before our holiday gave us little time to rearrange.”

Presumably the cost of the accommodation is based on having the use of a hot tub ? The property was also still being advertised as having it. Secondly the property was advertised as "pet friendly" but a notice inside the cottage said that pets are not allowed upstairs. This meant the first 3 nights of our week's stay involved us having to listen to our dog whimpering downstairs while we tried to sleep upstairs and much broken sleep. Not the very relaxing holiday we hoped for.

“Beautifully presented cottage with most things needed for a great stay.”

The laminate flooring was a worry to the dogs! Skidding and noisy. The double bed has a severe creak when getting in and out. Makes you jump every time! The mattress is ok but beginning to “lump”. The cottage was beautifully clean and the rubbish/ recycling/ dog poo systems very good. Kitchen scissors required. Overall, a great stay !

“What a lovely cottage, very clean, cosy and very well equipped.”

All needs were catered for from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Spa was very special. A lovely holiday experience, we loved it, thank you

“Nice Cottage, great location.”

- Michael, May 2023
John May 2023

“We had an excellent stay at Grove Cottage.”

We found the location was very handy for the amazing beaches nearby and for our trip to Skomer Island. The owner was friendly and helpful and the cottage was well-equipped and comfortable. Maps and walking guides were very useful. Our only further suggestion would be to include a larger cafetière in the kitchen.

Ian April 2023

“An excellent and comfortable holiday property located in a lovely village with plenty of places to explore in the area with lots of beautiful beaches.”

Highly recommended

“Your beds are not very comfortable but however the house is clean apart from the washing machine which had lots of hair”

- Eunice, April 2023
Jackie March 2023

“The cottage was lovely and very comfortable.”

It had everything we needed and some more as a hot tub has recently been added (unfortunately weather a bit too cold for us to risk a dip) Louise was very helpful and easy to contact. The local pub was very friendly and the Sunday roast was tasty.

- Jackie, March 2023
Bev June 2022

“Everything in the cottage was perfect, it was comfortable and well equipped.”

This cottage was one of the best we have stayed in. The only disappointment was the pub at the end of the road has been shut for two years yet still advertised on the Sykes information. This was where we would have eaten out most evenings rather than using the car as the roads are mostly single track.

- Bev, June 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback and I am thrilled you thought the cottage was equipped and comfy, thank you for the terrific cleanliness and comfort scores. The pub did close for a while but reopened as of July 2022 and I'm sorry that it wasn't clear at the time you booked and wasn't open for your stay. It us now under new management and serving daily.

“Lovely base for exploring.”

Perfect accommodation for couple and 2 children or 2 couples. Safe outdoor area for dogs.

Patrick August 2021

“Lovely modern cottage walking distance of the coastal path and Lindesway bay which is a small rugged beach.”

Need to drive to all amenities but you can walk to the garden centre, sports and social club, coastal path. Great location for driving to Little Haven and others which are lovely

- Patrick, August 2021
Andrew July 2021

“A very clean and well decorated modern cottage with everything you need for a great holiday.”

Would highly recommend this property. Only downside was when we booked in February 21, the details stated a pub in the village, which would have been great for a few drinks and food. However the pub had been closed since July 20! But as previously stated, great house.

- Andrew, July 2021
Geoffrey July 2021

“No instruction manuals for the cooker or washing machine (they could have been left rather than removed as part of Covid recommendations); also no pan scourer, which made it difficult to clean pans, etc.”

properly. Otherwise, all great.

“A comfortable stay in a well equipped cottage.”

Excellent location for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast.

- Diane, June 2021
Carolyn June 2021

“We loved the cottage & the 2 bedrooms both en-suite and the downstairs cloakroom was a great bonus.”

Patio was lovely when we had the chance to enjoy the sunshine. The village & residents we found to be very friendly, with great access to the Pembrokeshire Coastal path. The only downside was the pub which had been closed since July 2020 which we were not made aware of and we couldn’t find a shop that was 3 miles away??

- Carolyn, June 2021

“A brilliant cottage in a lovely village.”

Walking distance to the coastal path. Would definitely recommend

- David, April 2021
Susan October 2020

“A lovely cottage, very clean and furnished to a high standard.”

Very nice modern kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Having the two bathrooms was useful. Location is excellent for walking and visiting towns with some very good restaurants near by. Would recommend staying at Grove Cottage and would stay again if visiting the area.

- Susan, October 2020
Joanne October 2020

“Fantastic cottage just a short walk to monks Bay and church, a very welcoming and comfortable place to stay.”

- Joanne, October 2020
Julie September 2020

“Superbly appointed holiday cottage and the cleanest I have ever stayed in.”

Great patio area which had the sun most of the day. The low ceilings by the windows upstairs may be a problem for tall people. We had perfect weather and the coastal footpath is a 10 minute walk away so absolute paradise for us.

- Julie, September 2020
Michael November 2019

“Brilliant time, despite the weather, a great break with family.”

Thanks

Patricia September 2019

“Grove Cottage is a lovely, comfortable place to stay.”

The village is quiet, the local pub is very convenient and the staff and customers are very friendly. It was everything it said it was

- Patricia, September 2019
Susan September 2019

“The cottage was really lovely, in a lovely area and close to coastal walks and a small beach and very quiet, which was great.”

A supply of toilet rolls would have been nice and another tea towel, but all in all a lovely restful stay.

- Susan, September 2019
Elizabeth August 2019

“Had a wonderful time.”

quiet location but walking distance to secluded bay. short drive to larger beaches at Marlowe. would throughly recommend

- Elizabeth, August 2019
Gordon June 2019

“Good walking access to the coastal path from the cottage, had some lovely meals and a nice welcome in coco's in the village of dale (about an hours walk along the coastal path).”

Plenty of secluded beaches around the area. A good base to explore this part of the country.

- Gordon, June 2019
Sarah May 2019

“Really Enjoyed peaceful location and the cottage was a home from home feel.”

- Sarah, May 2019
David May 2019

“Extremely well appointed cottage.”

Very comfortable and a lot of thought had gone into the level of comfort and appliances etc. Situated in a lovely village, this was a perfect get away from it all piece of heaven

- David, May 2019
Rosemary May 2019

“Grove cottage is a beautiful cottage and the owners cannot be any better whatever you asked them they always saw to it that everything was right the cottage has everything you need for a great holiday even had a present when we arrived with bottle of wine some jam.”

welsh cakes,also some sugar tea and coffee so you could make a cuppa before you unpacked. I would highly recommend this cottage but you do need a car to get about the roads are very narrow but there are plenty of places for others to pass even tractors. the nearest bay is at Dale it is a lovely beach and has a great cafe (you can also take your dog in} the food is delicious . the only draw back was we couldn't let our dog on the beach and he loves the sea. .but Broad Haven beach you can take them on which we were glad of Have a great holiday .

- Rosemary, May 2019

“Fantastic cottage and a welcome pack which was very nice, rural setting peaceful everything you need places to visit in the area.”

owners very helpful. would recommend to friends and family.

- David, November 2018
J September 2018

“The location ws extremely disappointing.”

No views, a small village with too many houses in close proximity and no facilities. Newly built house which was fairly comfortable, but cutlery, decor and general ambience was disappointing. No decor , lacking in sophistication. Would not return.

- J, September 2018

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you had not had the stay you expected. We are confident that the photos accurately show the decor and ambience of the cottage, which is minimal but modern and fresh. All kitchen cutlery, utensils etc are provided and are more than adequate for the convenience of our guests. The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful village, with a village pub, and a tea room and not far from the coastal path, just how it is described in the description. Property Owner
Janet September 2018

“We were impressed with the speedy and friendly response we received when we had to contact the owner to report a repair that was needed to a broken stair gate.”

The situation was dealt with straight away.

- Janet, September 2018
Carol September 2018

“This cottage is really excellent.”

Clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It's in a very good position for the Pembrokeshire coast and in the village it is in a peaceful spot. Overall couldn't recommend it more.

- Carol, September 2018
Steve August 2018

“Lovely cottage in a very quiet place - there is a pub but we only had a few drinks and didn't eat there but plenty were.”

Perfect for our dog. We have teenagers and it's a bit too quiet for them! Good base for the exploring that part of the coast and found some lovely beaches. Nearest towns are Milford Haven/Haverfordwest which don't have much to offer, prefer Tenby. St Davids was lovely and recommend boat trip around/to Ramsey Island.

- Steve, August 2018
Pamela August 2018

“The cottage was beautiful and Louise had added very thoughtful little touches to welcome us.”

We will most certainly be returning. I will also be highly recommending the cottage to friends and family.

About the location

ST ISHMAEL'S

Milford Haven 6 miles; Saundersfoot 24 miles; Fishguard 25 miles

St Ishmael's is a splendid little village resting within the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, surrounded by luscious rolling countryside and close to the idyllic coastline. It offers a popular sports and social club, and a fabulous garden centre which hosts a superb tearoom, also serving excellent meals. A wonderful, small beach rests nearby at Lindsway Bay, which is where Prince Charles walked his first steps on Welsh soil. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs nearby, passing through simply unbeatable scenery. The pretty town of Milford Haven sits a few miles away, offering a stunning marina, an interesting local museum and a range of amenities. Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire's county town, is certainly worth a day trip with its riverside shops promising a delightful experience. The popular coastal spots of Tenby, Saundersfoot and Fishguard all lie within easy reach, all boast beautiful coastline and much to see and do. The famous city of St David's is also an easy distance away, famed for being the UK's smallest city whilst being dominated by its idyllic cathedral.
