  The cottage is set in a quiet cul-de-sac and perfectly positioned for Saundersfoot and Tenby.

  It is an ideal size for 2-4 people and of course dog friendly. The welcome pack of milk, biscuits and chocolate was much appreciated. The potential for it being an ideal holiday home is great. the seaside decor and pictures etc are wonderful. There were plenty of towels provided. However there were several things which were very disappointing for the price we paid. The double bedroom bed linen was old and bobbly and smelt sour. The fitted sheet did not stretch over the mattress fully and came half way down the sides. We didn't use the double bed but I am sure the bottom sheet would have been in a heap in the middle by morning. The light switch in the double bedroom was broken. There was a table lamp. The ceiling light socket was broken in the twin bedroom but again there was a table lamp. The bed linen in there was really nice. The shower head would not stay up and repeatedly flopped down so that the shower ran down the corner of the bath and not into the bath to enable standing under it. The sofa in the lounge was so worn and uncomfortable and seemed to be missing the original back cushions. There were several scatter cushions but it was not possible to sit back comfortably and have your legs bent and feet on the floor. The vertical blinds on the lounge window were broken. We were not able to recycle as the bags did not seem to correlate with the list in the kitchen. There was one black bin bag in the kitchen bin. The outside bin and recycling boxes and bags had been put as a sort of barricade at the bottom of the steps up to the washing line, presumably by a previous guest. This may possibly have been because the back top fence of the garden had a slat of the fence which had come out and was lying on the floor. The gap was wide enough for our little dog to get through but we watched him when he was in the garden and didn't let him go up there. There were no dog hairs or signs of a dog being there which was very good. The cottage could be really good with some TLC and freshening up and maintenance on the broken items.

  We arrived at Love Cottage finding beautiful welcome gifts including flowers, cakes, milk, orange juice and a very sweet card.

  We immediately felt very welcome and at home. The cottage was as the pictures... pretty, well equipped, very clean and super cosy. The cottage was also well stocked with basic essentials also... tea towels, cooking utensils, cleaning products and so on. It is compact with everything you need. (No washing machine, however, with many local launderettes, this was not a problem. I chose to worry about it when I arrived home) The modern shower was lovely, all feeling pretty new. The sofas were also comfy... and the cottage was a joy to return to after long days out and especially on the evening when it rained. My husband, my son and myself felt the size was perfect. We used the sofa bed for our son, which I was not looking forward too however with it being of good quality, it was a breeze to pull out at night and put away the next morning, using the double bed room for the additional bedding. We all felt we slept later than usual due to being so relaxed and comfortable. Our dog enjoyed the small front and back enclosed area as well as the local walk through the country lane. ( right of the entrance) The location could not be better if you prefer, like us, to be out of the way of crowded holiday type places... however being amazingly close to everywhere this area has to offer. My son especially loved having Carew Karting literally 5 minutes away, as well as Heatherton activities. We especially loved being close to Saundersfoot and Wisemans Bridge. Having spent six nights at Love Cottage we were very sad to leave. We have very much enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return. A pretty, cosy, clean cabin type interior which is perfect for couples or small families such as ours. Thank you Sian for making us feel so welcome and your kind gifts. Thank you also to Sykes Cottages who made our booking experience straightforward as well as keeping us well informed.. A wonderful week away at Love Cottage. We do hope to return soon. Love from the Norris family (Newport, South Wales. Date of stay: 24th - 30th July 2021)

  We stayed at this property 3 weeks ago and it was a great location with everything you could need near by.

  Although the property is located on a cul-de-sac it was extremely quiet and having been there for bonfire night, not many fireworks. There is one parking space outside the property but it did state in the welcome pack that parking is based on a first come first served basis. The house was warm and comfortable but we did find a few issues. The double bedroom carpet had stains on it and the mattress protector was heavily stained brown and upon further inspection found the fitted sheet to have similar stains although not as much. Because of this I had to remove them both and buy a new fitted sheet to sleep on. In the twin bedroom you were unable to use the bedside lamp unless you used the extension lead from the Double bedroom to plug it in which meant you could not use the tv As we had to move the bedside table to gain access to the plug socket by moving one of the beds, we found a big orange mark on the floor under the table and the same colour splash marks up the skirting board. My Mum found the fitted sheet on one of the single beds did not fit properly so when she got in to bed the sheet rode up and was uncomfortable to sleep on and the duvet seemed to small as it did not fit over the sides of the bed, and because we went in the winter my Mum found it difficult to keep warm. The hot water only seemed to be available at a set time in the morning and on an evening so if you decided to have a bath or shower later in the evening the water was lukewarm so it would have been handy to know the cut off times.The shower head can be difficult to use if you are a tall person like myself as I found it to be too low down on the wall. We found there was no mop or bucket to be able to clean the floors downstairs so when it had been raining the floors got wet which made it easy to slip for both ourselves and our dogs. Unfortunately because of the issues we found we would not stay at this property again.

  On arrival we were surprised that there wasn’t much privacy.

  Not only were there neighbours at the front of the property but in the picture the back looked private but it didn’t show that there was a path to Poppy Cottage running down the side, so when having a drink or food people staying in Poppy cottage would be walking passed, also Poppy cottage had an outdoor cinema, hot tub and bbq in their outside space so when they were outside their noise carried into Love cottage’s outdoor space and into the property too, so no matter where you sat for a quiet drink or food you had neighbours at the front and heard/saw neighbours at the back too. The pictures showed Love cottage as adjoined to the Farmhouse and a lawn surrounding them but in fact outside Love cottage’s bedroom window were the car parking for the Farmhouse,Love cottage and Poppy cottage so when in bed on a morning if any of the neighbours went out you heard them walking past and getting in their cars, not ideal for a lie in. The fridge inside at the back was all frozen up so wasn’t working properly and the extraction fan also didn’t work, there was a big ball of fluff/dust on some coasters by the tv and quite a lot of spiders and spiderwebs to many to say it’s because it close to trees. While the cottage was a nice little place it was the surroundings that let it down. We booked it from looking at the pictures of how tranquil it looked but the photos were obviously photoshopped. They don’t show the other 4 dwellings attached to the Farmhouse or the said pathway to Poppy Cottage and parking bays. Wouldn’t have booked it if the pictures and descriptions were correct. Shame cause the cottage was nice. Oh and a curtain or blinds up the front door would be good because at night when the lights are on the neighbours can see right in and watch you going to the loo and bedroom, not good when coming out of the bathroom after a shower to go the bedroom draped in just a towel.

  I don't nomally do negative reviews however i feel this one is needed.

  We recently stayed at this property and was really dissapointed as the listing didn't fully reflect the propoerty, there is so much potential, the beach theme decor was nice, the house is a good size and a good location however there are a number of issues which let this property down. Door Handle was coming off the patio door Faulty light switch in the main double bedroom Mould growing in the living room/dining area Chair fabric coming off the dining chairs Dirty curtains in the living room Dirty cushions in the living room Patio is heavily moss covered and extremely slippy Patio furniture rusty and covered in moss & unusable Unwelcoming bright yellow signage on entering the property & considering it is a dog friendly property this didn't really feel welcoming. A Ring door bell on the property, not advertised on the listing & made us feel very uncomfortable throughout the stay especially as it lit up everytime we entered and left the house, which meant the owners were watching us on live view everytime. 1 day into the holiday, someone was banging on the door at 9am asking whether we are vacating. No blind or curtain on the landing window 4 light bulbs not working in the living room Considering the cost of this property especially in peak season i would expect there to be minimal issues. There was to much to raise during our stay and we didn't want to spend the week waiting for repairs etc to be made as it would have caused a major distruption to our break so we raised them at the end of our holiday. Unfortunately as the owners are unwilling to discuss the issues so this is not a property we would be looking to book again.
