Water Views, 2 bed 2 bath house & Garden

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews3 days ago

We stayed over at Geouffrey's place on our visit to Pembroke. It is nicely situated opposite to the Pembroke Docks and provided amazing views of the waters. The house itself was very well kept and clean. It is a big space and perhaps the photos don't provide the same feel on how spacious the rooms are. We would likely stay over here again on our next visit to Pembrokeshire. Would recommend this to anyone planning to come here.

Large Family Home Private Garden Beach 2 mins Walk

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews4 months ago

We had a comfortable stay in this beautiful house for two weeks. We loved how close it is to the beach and the sea view from the bedrooms. Very easy to walk around and there is a variety of shops within walking distance. The sofas and beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Our cat also enjoyed the place and her little walks in the garden. It was generally very quiet, other than the neighbour's dogs clockwork barking sessions at 11pm & 7am. Our only comment was that the house was freezing when we arrived and it took many hours to heat up, causing one of us a nasty headache the next day. It would be nice if the heating was turned on a bit earlier. Once it was warm, it did maintain the heat quite well. Other than that everything was great and would visit again, especially when the weather gets better!

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews5 months ago

We had a four night stay with our friends, there we 8 of us in total and it was absolutely perfect for us all. The living, dining, cooking space was exactly what I was hoping it would be and the weather was even good enough to have the bifold doors open which was so good to have the outside in! A really comfortable space to relax and enjoy each others company. Sophie was incredible from start to finish, she was fantastic at responding to any queries and totally kept us updated with everything we needed to know. She also was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times so we didn't feel rushed at all- thank you Sophie! Also a fabulous little walk to Burgh Island and great beaches. Highly recommended 5*

Beach Stroll Retreat, Swanage, Dorset

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews7 months ago

We were in Swanage for the annual folk dance weekend, it was very easy to walk to the town centre, the beach and all the amenities and the parking space behind the house was a bonus. Lovely house, very clean and well appointed, looked like it had been recently refurbished as everything was pristine. There was also the Crows Nest Inn opposite which was quirky, lovely landlord, fabulous food and we sat on an old pew bench seat from an old church! The only drawback to the house was that we found it slightly small to accommodate six adults, it would have been better suited to a family. Simon, the owner, was really responsive to any query and very friendly. Would stay again if there were fewer of us.

Stunning Townhouse By The Sea, Hot Tub, Sleeps 17

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews1 month ago

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The host went above and beyond, communicating quickly and making everything effortless. The house is stunning—beautifully decorated, incredibly homely, and so spacious. With 15 of us, including children, there was plenty of room for everyone to relax. The huge dining table was perfect for group meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed—loads of crockery, cutlery, and top-quality appliances. The beds were super comfortable, the showers worked perfectly, and every detail was well thought out. The location was spot-on, and nothing was scrimped on. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend!

Just got back from a week at Shaun’s place. Had a brilliant time. Easy to find and park. 5 min walk to beach, great Chippy, Pub and shop. The house was very clean and in great condition. I don’t think the pics really do it justice. It’s an upside down house and the top floor is open plan with amazing views. Communication with Shaun was prompt and helpful. Definitely going to book again!
