Snaptrip says
Old Orchard in Saundersfoot is praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and prime location within walking distance to the beach and town centre. The property offers a well-equipped kitchen, a conservatory with views, and a variety of games and beach equipment. While some guests suggest improvements in garden maintenance and additional homely touches, the overall experience is seen as positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have indicated that the property's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, but there are suggestions for more thorough cleaning in certain areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. Regular descaling of the kettle and more rigorous floor cleaning have been recommended.
The location is highly commended for its proximity to Saundersfoot's centre, beach, and local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring Pembrokeshire.
The property is described as comfortable, with ample space for families and single-floor living options. However, some guests noted slippery floors and a lack of child-friendly garden features.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and extras for beach activities. However, feedback suggests a need for better towels, more cutlery, and attention to safety and maintenance issues.
While guests appreciate the provision of games and beach equipment, there is no mention of gifts or special welcoming touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We had a great stay, despite very poor weather - in fact it was good to have a warm environment, with washing machine and tumble dryer to come back to after a day in the cold and rain. The property is well located for accessing local restaurants, pubs, shops and of course the beach. Places of interest such as Tenby and Pembroke are also within easy reach.

We found the property clean, comfortable and ideally situated. As dog owners we would prefer the garden to be completely secure but we were aware that there was no side gate and came prepared. We know that this property is a work in progress and you are definitely heading in the right direction. In the future if the opportunity arises to visit Saundersfoot again we would definitely consider stopping at Old Orchard.
