  Where to begin?

  Hawthorn House is beautiful. The Garden is beautiful. Dogs ran around safely in the Garden with no concerns they may escape. The Garden also has a handy Picnic Table which we took full advantage of for eating at and playing board games on in the lovely sun as the Dogs languished or played on the lawn. The Hallway that greets you has a marvellous floor, leads through to the spacious Kitchen, whose window looks out onto the Garden. Kitchen has brilliant facilities and plenty of counter space. Small WC just before the Kitchen was very handy. Nice back door leading to the Garden, handy night light placed outside was very handy when the Dogs needed to be let out at night. Lounge is awesome, bijou, two lovely Sofas, nice large TV , cute fireplace with lovely mantle above it. Dining room is lovely and big, nice large dining table, fantastic not just for eating at but playing board games on too. Upstairs is great. Nice staircase leads to directly opposite a small and handy utility room with a stunning view out of its window. Next to the utility room is the main bathroom, lovely sized bath with an awesome anti slip mat that was really appreciated. Nice sized main bathroom. Hallway leads to the three bedrooms. Again, a great view from the master bedroom window. The other two bedrooms overlook Lower Lamphrey Road below. Beds wear made well, fresh linen , loads of towels supplied. Parking at Hawthorne House is great , the neighbours were extremely courteous, keeping the space outside Hawthorn House clear. As for the location of Hawthorn House, the town of Pembroke is literally at the end of the road. A handy One Stop shop for things you may need quickly was just off the roundabout. Aldi is a short car drive away. Freshwater Beach is about three miles away and is the other end of Lower Lamphery Road turn right and you’re more or less there, beach is Dog Friendly too, all of it. To sum up, Hawthorn House is a beautiful, comfortable, quiet place with a lovely Garden, lovely Neighbours, especially Rory the Cat, ideally placed. Tenby 10 miles away, Haverfordwest 11 miles away, Picton Castle about 7 miles away and Freshwater Beach about 3 miles away. Brilliant, beautiful home. Kelly is incredibly helpful and easy to reach should you need any questions answered. Her welcome pack is well thought out, easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to return.

  We stayed at the cottage just after New Year with our group of 6 friends.

  We had a fabulous time in the cottage and local area. The cottage is cosy, warm (that log burner is a treat!) and is just a delight to stay in. Given the rather low temperatures outside, it was great to have efficient heating and showering facilities- as well as equipment to manage the post beach/forest dog walk/swimming clothing! A well equipped kitchen made the post NY celebration dinners for our group a breeze to cater for. And those sofas are great to smuggle into with a book or two! Comfy beds too- especially important for our over 50’s party who needed such support! There is plenty of parking for two vehicles at the cottage itself and in our case, visitors were able to easily park nearby. There is a lovely garden which would provide great outdoor dining space, which we hope to take advantage of later in the year. Also, it is so easy to access a range of stunning local beaches such as Barafundle and there are so many small villages and towns with fabulous cafes and restaurants, a diverse range of independent shops, etc. The local area is truly a treat and if you are bringing dogs…so many great walks are on offer. This area is SO dog friendly which made the break enjoyable for the three pooches accompanying us on this trip, Overall…really impressed and will book again

  Firstly, finding the cottage was quite difficult but this was resolved by two phone calls to the owner.

  It would be extremely helpful if a sign were set up at the entrance to the property. On arrival, we were met with a pile of household rubbish next to the gate, presumably from previous guests. There was also a bag containing dog poo on the grassed area at the front of the house. We did not have a dog with us. The property itself is functional rather than homely but was clean and well equipped. It would have been helpful if the toilet had been left with a toilet roll for the first day. In the listing and instructions provided by Sykes & the owner, much is made of dealing with leftover food, with requests to remove any prior to leaving. On our arrival, there was food left in the freezer and one of the cupboards. When we left, we removed all of our food but left behind that of previous guests. Some clarification of dealing with domestic rubbish would also be helpful. Overall, our stay was manageable but I would not recommend this property if you are looking for a traditional country experience.

  We just enjoyed a perfect week at Holly Cottage.

  The cottage was everything we wanted and more! Every detail had been considered and we didn't want for anything. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were SO comfy! The garden is an absolute marvel! It's fully enclosed and totally secure, which was brilliant for my dog (houdini has nothing on her). I was able to let her wander in and out as she pleased, safe in the knowledge that she couldn't come to any harm. The garden also has lovely furniture for enjoying the sunshine from morning to evening. The owner, Sue, was lovely and welcoming and gave us lots of little tips of beautiful places to see in the area, we loved everything so much that we've already booked a return visit later this year and look forward to seeing Sue again and relaxing in this gem of a home from home.

  It was disappointing to hear that a red wine spillage caused so much consternation from the owner.

  My 9 year old daughter inadvertently spilled my glass of wine which I had taken upstairs. I washed the sheet and cleaned up the spillage however some remained on the quilt and pillow case. I put a message in the visitors book and apologised. However I received a call to advise the owner had made a complaint. I understand the inconvenience however, surely it can be a potential for spillages to happen. We cleaned and hoovered the cottage before we left and treated the property with respect and consideration . It might be a good idea to have a dishwasher also. We paid just under £1000. For a week which is a substantial fee. Parking was also challenging . However lovely stay, very friendly neighbour who gave us tips on where best to go.
