  We arrived at Love Cottage finding beautiful welcome gifts including flowers, cakes, milk, orange juice and a very sweet card.

  We immediately felt very welcome and at home. The cottage was as the pictures... pretty, well equipped, very clean and super cosy. The cottage was also well stocked with basic essentials also... tea towels, cooking utensils, cleaning products and so on. It is compact with everything you need. (No washing machine, however, with many local launderettes, this was not a problem. I chose to worry about it when I arrived home) The modern shower was lovely, all feeling pretty new. The sofas were also comfy... and the cottage was a joy to return to after long days out and especially on the evening when it rained. My husband, my son and myself felt the size was perfect. We used the sofa bed for our son, which I was not looking forward too however with it being of good quality, it was a breeze to pull out at night and put away the next morning, using the double bed room for the additional bedding. We all felt we slept later than usual due to being so relaxed and comfortable. Our dog enjoyed the small front and back enclosed area as well as the local walk through the country lane. ( right of the entrance) The location could not be better if you prefer, like us, to be out of the way of crowded holiday type places... however being amazingly close to everywhere this area has to offer. My son especially loved having Carew Karting literally 5 minutes away, as well as Heatherton activities. We especially loved being close to Saundersfoot and Wisemans Bridge. Having spent six nights at Love Cottage we were very sad to leave. We have very much enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return. A pretty, cosy, clean cabin type interior which is perfect for couples or small families such as ours. Thank you Sian for making us feel so welcome and your kind gifts. Thank you also to Sykes Cottages who made our booking experience straightforward as well as keeping us well informed.. A wonderful week away at Love Cottage. We do hope to return soon. Love from the Norris family (Newport, South Wales. Date of stay: 24th - 30th July 2021)

  On arrival we were surprised that there wasn’t much privacy.

  Not only were there neighbours at the front of the property but in the picture the back looked private but it didn’t show that there was a path to Poppy Cottage running down the side, so when having a drink or food people staying in Poppy cottage would be walking passed, also Poppy cottage had an outdoor cinema, hot tub and bbq in their outside space so when they were outside their noise carried into Love cottage’s outdoor space and into the property too, so no matter where you sat for a quiet drink or food you had neighbours at the front and heard/saw neighbours at the back too. The pictures showed Love cottage as adjoined to the Farmhouse and a lawn surrounding them but in fact outside Love cottage’s bedroom window were the car parking for the Farmhouse,Love cottage and Poppy cottage so when in bed on a morning if any of the neighbours went out you heard them walking past and getting in their cars, not ideal for a lie in. The fridge inside at the back was all frozen up so wasn’t working properly and the extraction fan also didn’t work, there was a big ball of fluff/dust on some coasters by the tv and quite a lot of spiders and spiderwebs to many to say it’s because it close to trees. While the cottage was a nice little place it was the surroundings that let it down. We booked it from looking at the pictures of how tranquil it looked but the photos were obviously photoshopped. They don’t show the other 4 dwellings attached to the Farmhouse or the said pathway to Poppy Cottage and parking bays. Wouldn’t have booked it if the pictures and descriptions were correct. Shame cause the cottage was nice. Oh and a curtain or blinds up the front door would be good because at night when the lights are on the neighbours can see right in and watch you going to the loo and bedroom, not good when coming out of the bathroom after a shower to go the bedroom draped in just a towel.

  Love Cottage is small, modern, cute and so cosy .

  It was perfect for the 2 of us and a nice place to come back to, it has 2 small outside spaces which would be ideal for dogs. The owners have put some lovely plants and baskets there. We were able to sit out a few times when the weather allowed and even though the road runs in front of the site you cant see it and it didn't bother us at all, it feels like you're deep in the countryside as there's trees everywhere and a big green grass area in front of the row of properties. we were left some wine and chocolates which were most appreciated. lovely and clean with bath sheets {a big plus for me} and nice bed linen. The bed is a standard double even though we prefer a King but it was very comfortable. We visited Barafundle Bay, Carew Castle, Tenby, Saundersfoot and Freshwater East, all stunning. We ate out a few times and also used the Severn Spice Indian for a delivery which was delicious. The cottage was very well equipped, and some extra luxuries like a Nespresso coffee machine with pods, a Smart TV, a large double shower and also plenty of tea, coffee and Hot Coffee and you don't need to take or buy tea cloths, fairy liquid etc etc as its all there. We used the Aldi and Tesco in Pembroke Dock for our supplies, an easy ten minute drive away. A great base for exploring Pembrokeshire, We will definately come back.

  This cottage is so lovely and cosy!

  We had such a great stay and I would really recommend this place to stay for couples. The bed is really comfy and the sofas in the lounge are too. The kitchen is really well equipped and very lovely to cook in. The big table would be great for lots of people to sit around. The area is absolutely beautiful, very close to small villages and towns and so many walks very close by. The Pembrokeshire coast is beautiful, you can even see the sea from this property. It was so quiet and relaxing, loved it! The cottage doesn’t have any central heating so it is cold when the fire isn’t on. The owner was very kind in showing us how to properly light the fire as we were struggling but once we got it lit it did start to heat up! The upstairs bedroom was always hot and the duvet provided was very warm. The drive up to the cottage is on a farm track and we just about managed it in our fiat 500! A bigger car probably wouldn’t find it an issue and our car did manage it but it is very bumpy. We had the best, most relaxing trip we’ve had in a long time, thank you very much!

  Little Bobbins gave us a great location for a week away.

  Good beaches closeby and you can walk to Saundersfoot. Turning right out of the drive is tight and the property is right on main road and train line at the bottom of the garden but that didn’t bother us too much. The property didn’t fully match the description - for example things like it’s semi detached not detached (although we didn’t see or hear the neighbours once), photos had curtains but the property doesn’t have them in place now, just blinds which are ineffective for summer mornings and evenings. Not sure the double room is a King size bed and as a family of four (three adults and one child) we think the space was ok for us but might be too small for a group of six. The property is well equipped but the cleanliness was poor, we had to clean a lot of the kitchen utensils before using them (took photos when we arrived) and some of the equipment has seen better days. We enjoyed our stay but didn’t match the rating for us and feel the property needs some updating and maintenance.
