Guests say
Foxglove Cottage is a charming and well-equipped holiday home in a peaceful location, ideal for exploring Pembrokeshire’s stunning coastline and nearby beaches. Guests praise its comfort, cosy atmosphere, and proximity to local attractions. The cottage is particularly appreciated for its well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. While some mention steep hills, minor maintenance issues, and occasional cleaning concerns, most guests enjoyed their stay and would recommend or return. The outside space is functional but not private, and a few guests noted a lack of drying facilities. Overall, the cottage offers a delightful base for a memorable holiday.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, with several describing it as spotless on arrival. However, a few reviews mention issues such as musty smells, mould in kitchen cupboards, and occasional lapses in cleaning standards. These concerns appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Little Haven, Broad Haven, and the coastal path, making it ideal for walkers and beach lovers. The peaceful setting and easy access to local attractions are frequently highlighted. The only drawback noted is the steep hill leading to the property, which may be challenging for some.
Guests consistently comment on the comfort of the beds and the cosy, homely feel of the cottage. The heating and wood burner are appreciated, and the cottage is described as spacious and well-furnished. A few minor issues, such as a heavy duvet in summer and occasional noise from vents, were mentioned.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a good kitchen, entertainment options, and comfortable furnishings. Some guests noted the lack of drying facilities, limited outside space, and minor maintenance issues (e.g., broken outdoor chair, dated appliances). The absence of Wi-Fi and minimal starter supplies were also mentioned.
While the cottage is well-stocked with essentials and information about the area, some guests felt that basic provisions (such as toilet paper and hand soap) were insufficient. No gifts were mentioned in the reviews, so guests should not expect these as part of their stay.
About this property
This beautiful Little Haven cottage is set within the grounds of the owners' holiday home in the village of Little Haven and is the perfect base to explore the whole of Pembrokeshire.

A short walk downhill from this delightful Little Haven cottage takes you to the village, scattered around the lovely small cove where small boats can be launched, rock pools can be explored and relaxing days can be spent on the pretty beach.

A very easy place to settle into with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The only request I would make is to allow an earlier admittance to the cottage on the day of arrival as 5pm is quite late , but other than that everything else was perfect. Thank you.

The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable . The duvet was rather heavy for summer use, especially in the current heatwave. The cottage was cool, which was a welcome respite. We have had four holidays in Foxglove cottage which probably says all you need to know!
