Saundersfoot, a vibrant fishing community, is 3 miles from Tenby and is idyllically located at the bottom of a forested valley on the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast. The community has a wide variety of stores, bars, and eateries, and the picturesque harbour offers sailing and fishing options. Beautiful, sandy Blue Flag beaches offer a great location for leisurely swimming, and the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which starts in the neighbourhood of Amroth, is a great option for walkers. Go to Tenby, a charming seaside town with historic walls, world-class beaches, and boat tours to the monastery Island of Caldey. This is a great location for a wonderful vacation because Folly Farm's amazing vintage funfair, Blue Stone, and Oakwood Theme Park's terrifying rides are all nearby and easily accessible.

Great location with lovely views.Large enclosed garden with gate to beach and shops a few minutes away. Lots of extras, games, puzzles, beach toys. Constant hot water and heating. Locals were lovely and friendly and we hope to return again.

The views out of the conservatory are very relaxing and it felt like an excellent place to spend time in and use as a base to go to Saundersfoot easily as well as visit all the amazing places in Pembrokeshire nearby. The house has good facilities and lots of space for our family of 5. The kitchen is really well equipped compared to some other places we've been. The beach stuff and crabbing equipment was really well appreciated and we liked the board games and puzzles left in the lounge. We've seen others comments on the garden. It's true that it isn't the best garden for being in and needs some TLC, but the photos clearly show you what it is like. For us the garden wasn't the focus as we are so close to the beach. Suggestions of things that would be useful: Oven gloves, more cutlery (especially tea spoons), a doormat on the inside of the front door, an airer to hang up wet things when you come back from the beach. More detailed instructions for the washing/dryer machine settings.

The main room that has been refurbished is lovely, and a wonderful space. Sadly the rest of the house is not to the same standard. It lacked things that would make it so much more welcoming: a door mat so we didn't slip over on the kitchen floor with wet shoes, a blind on the bathroom window so there was some privacy, a cable to connect the supplied DVD player to the TV so it could be used, more than 6 pieces of crockery, cutlery etc so we didn't need to wash up after every meal. Even some washing up liquid would be helpful, or perhaps something welcoming when people arrive, like a pint of milk so you can make a hot drink. The clothes storage in the bedrooms is variable (a sideboard in the downstairs bedroom, yet there is plenty of room for a small wardrobe and chest of drawers). It wasn't possible to access the back gate to use the shortcut to the beach when we visited, due to the weeds and brambles. I was surprised by some of the safety elements that were lacking: a rusty saw and large knife on the side in the open greenhouse, easily accessible to children, the glass in one of the kitchen cupboards held in by sellotape, and doors from the bedrooms directly into the eaves of the house with all the fibreglass insulation. I would expect these to be locked or at least a piece of furniture in front. Overall, we didn't feel it matched the quality of other Sykes properties we have rented, we didn't feel comfortable, and thought there was a lot of elements that could easily be thought about from a guest point of view and improved.
