What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely week and the cottage was lovely.

  With young children I enjoyed the no clutter feel and fact everything was off the ground - easy to find lost toys. Despite having booked for 5, I was disappointed that only 4 sets of towels were left out - the hand towels were too small to use for the baby. However the real disappointment of the holiday was the kitchen. There were only 3 dinner plates, which for a booking of 4/ 5 was insufficient. The kitchen was home to 13 egg cups and 10 wine glasses, yet no corkscrew. The pans had seen better days and the oven trays felt/ were cheap ( I was disappointed there was nothing like a pyrex dish for a pasta bake, but appreciate this one may be down to personal cooking preference). The serving utensils were so cheap they almost folded in half holding a spoonful of veg. Additionally the knives were limited - only 2 small veg knives - nothing suitable for cutting bread. I don't think it would cost the earth to provide a bottle of washing up liquid either. ( As it happens we were in our camper van so had our own crockery we could use but most wouldn't). I would recommend but manage people's expectations.

  The location of the site was absolutely beautiful and the instructions for finding the accommodation easy to follow.

  The surrounding area is also beautiful, with lots to do and see! We went mid April and it was fantastic to see all of the lambs out! Unfortunately our accomodation, 'The Otter' had not been properly cleaned however. On arrival, we found that the rug in the main dining area had not been hoovered at all, toe nail clippings were found on the sofa and when we pulled the rug out, we found old food and card games left from previous guests. We tried to call the number provided for the hosts, however we could not get through. On the second night, two of our party woke up to droplets on their head and whilst we can appreciate that this is a tent, it may be something to consider if you have children staying on the top bunk in the bedroom. The pots, pans and utensils provided were not cleaned properly and the communal bathing areas could have been cleaner. Despite the above, the location is fantastic, the hot tub wonderful and the site itself great. Unfortunately, we won't be staying again due to the cleanliness, however we may have been unlucky!

  Absolutely fantastic.

  Liz and Dai are perfect hosts. Helpful and kind without being intrusive. The annex is top notch, like a show home, with all the amenities you would expect. A super comfortable double bed and lashings of hot water. It is located in a nice quiet village, but just a short car ride from pembroke Town, including the castle. I went on a boat ride to Skomer Island, which is a nature reserve for birds, including puffins and skewers, fabulous. There are numerous beautiful walks, and beach destinations in the area, and the cottage has ample information books, maps and leaflets to help you plan your activities. Liz and Dai are always on hand in case you get stuck or need any advice. Loved it.

  Lovely cottage in small quiet village just outside Pembroke.

  Owners live next door and are very helpful and freindly, quickly sorted out a small issue with hot water, even lent us some flour and a mixer when wife decided to make yorkshire puds. Pembroke castle very good with excellent cafe, st clements cake best ever had, Carew castle 15 min drive good, Castle Henllys iron age fort 1 hr drive small but interesting. Barafundle beach 15 min drive, small and an uphill walk to get to then down steps, beach small. Freshwater west beach 15 min drive, much longer than Barafundle, good ffor walking dogs, a must see for Harry Potter fans to see Dobbys grave. Really enjoyed our stay Sepr 2024.

  Cranford Cottage is an ideal base for exploring Pembrokeshire, in a peaceful rural location.

  The cottage is really well equipped with everything you would need and the attention to detail is exceptional. I loved the layout and parking was a few steps away from the front door so easy to load and unload luggage. Great modern bathroom and kitchen. The artwork on the walls was inspirational for planning days out and there were plenty of books on the local landscape, walks and attractions to feed your explorer gene! I met Liz briefly but knowing she was next door should anything go wrong, was reassuring (it didn’t!). I highly recommend Cranford, it was a perfect retreat after a long coastal walk!
