  The House is really lovely and in an excellent location in the heart of Tenby's Old Town and a stone's throw from the 2 beaches. The town is full of interesting coffee shops, restaurants and shops. It's a shame we weren't there at a time of year when we could take advantage of the wetsuits and the wet room available! The facilities in the house are great. Smart TVs worked well and the Wi-fi was very good. Loved the bay windows in the upstairs rooms. You will end up going up and down an awful lot of stairs during your stay! Spoke to the owner before arrival and they were extremely helpful and pleasant. Not being able to park immediately outside for any length of time isn't ideal, but that's well communicated before arrival. Using the dedicated parking places in a nearby car park is not a problem and it's only a short walk through the old town to get there. You can park outside long enough to load and unload. Only improvement I could think of would be clearer instructions over what to do with the rubbish. It wasn't clear exactly what could be recycled or what to do with food waste; the instructions seemed to say that the sink waste disposal should be used for absolutely all food waste, but that feels wrong to me as someone not used to using these - I wonder if that just meant make sure that any waste which does go into the sink does go through the waste disposal unit.

  Wow that was my first reaction and after staying here Wow just didn't give it justice; neither did amazing and wonderful. High House is such a fab place to stay. The house is decorated to an extremely high standard and the attention to detail is absolutely superb. Beds are fabulous, decor is superb and the location is fantastic! I would like to thank Rural Retreats once again for your superb and extremely professional service and would like to add an extra special thank you to the owner who is just fantastic! My family and I spent a very special weekend here to celebrate my Dad's 80th Birthday and we couldn't have wished for better. Everyone had such a wonderful weekend. I have travelled extensively around the world and have been lucky enough to stay in some remarkable places: but High House is one of the most lovely and beautiful places I have ever stayed (they could give any 5 star hotel a real run for their money). Everyone commented that if they won the lottery this is one place they would want to buy! Thank you so so much for making my Dad's 80th Birthday weekend so special! The house was so wonderful that I didn't want to share it but felt that was unfair as it's such a special place. If you're reading this, book it, you will not be disappointed; this place is a complete gem!

  A flawed gem I feel.

  .. Being withing a couple minutes walk of both Sainsbury's and co op, the beach, car park and chippy is great. Nice little back yard which was ideal for our small dog. The house is generally well equipped. Beds are nice and comfy. Lounge is spacious and comfy. Wi-fi definitely a plus as cell signal is pretty hit and miss we found. Car park is close and only 25 for a week. Street is quiet in general Yes the listing mentions about the bathroom but in practice it's just not enough. Impossible for me to stand in the bath and the hand shower isn't really suitable for taking a shower. The ceiling/door heights are another issue as every door and landing passage had different heights or angles. Constantly ducking and weaving as you move around. I cracked my head sharply on the lounge one on the third day, as I misjudged the height while distracted, and it took a second day for me to feel normal again. Love the location and the house in general but for us it's a one time visit. Getting back from a day at the beach and washing all four of us plus dog just took so long. Really could also use a clothes line as the only drying rack is quite small and again not really suitable for a person house.

  Had a lovely week here over Easter and very lucky with the weather.

  Crown Cottage is in the middle of Penally village but a short drive from many of the family attractions. The Crown pub is across the road and serves generous portions with a children's menu too. 3 minutes down the road you will find Bubbleton Farm Shop and cafe. Well worth a visit. We had a lovely breakfast there, again generous portions. There's also hens, pigs and sheep that the little ones can feed. Also in the village by the Paddick Inn is a lovely bakery for fresh rolls, bread and cakes. For a cloudy day, try the Leisure Centre, again just down the road. Family swimming and in the sports hall, 6 bouncy castles, a joy for our 4 year old. 10 minutes up the road is Tenby, lovely beach and shops and Saundersfoot also worth a visit. Pembroke Castle is also a good trip. Crown Cottage is a lovely 3 bedroomed cottage, as described. Clean, nicely furnished, good beds, nice bathrooms, good family size kitchen. There is only a small patio area which gets the sun for awhile in the morning and you can see the sea. A pleasant walk from the cottage over the golf course to Penally Beach. There are no facilities here, but a nice place to walk to. Parking outside is a bonus. A very nice place to stay.

  Brambly Hedge is on a quiet residential street with parking (& electric car charging point), although it is beside a main road I was surprised at how little that bothered us (was fine for sleeping). It is a bit cramped in the main bedroom but is well equipped for your stay having all you would need. WiFi included but the TV is a bit hit & miss.... (Needed for the couple of rainy days we had) I feel it is a bit neglected, shabby in places & needs a deep clean in the bathroom/lounge & garden needs some attention. The property is very close to a Morrisons Local shop & the Hunter's Moon pub/restaurant (highly recommend). Bus stop close by. The village hall nearby has a makers market/car boot sale on a Wednesday which is nice for picking up little handmade gifts, etc. The bungalow is in a good location to get to local beaches in Tenby & Saundersfoot or further afield. The welcome pack is a nice touch • Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We’ve spoken to the owner and the issues has now been resolved. New garden furniture has been installed.
