An immaculate large "Cottage" in a beautiful garden, backing onto a ruined priory and the river; this place was wonderful! The owners had left enough sundries ( dishwasher tabs, wash tabs, etc ) to last the week, so we didn't have to buy stuff and take it home! It stayed remarkably cool considering the extreme heat.We totally enjoyed our stay, I could have spent most of my time in the garden, had there not been so much to see and do nearby!

Priory Stile is beautifully presented and the house is decorated and cleaned to a high standard (probably the best we have stayed in).The beds were comfortable and the blinds and curtains were blackout in the bedrooms. It is next to a road but it has excellent glazing so we slept soundly and I’m a very light sleeper normally.The bathrooms and showers all worked very well and were presented beautifully, there was a lovely welcome hamper and lots of thoughtful touches around the house. We met the owners and they really went out of their way to ensure we had a nice stay, they obviously work very hard to maintain the house and gardens.The garden is beautiful, lots of space and little seating areas, you are right next to the ruined Priory and it adds to the tranquil atmosphere.It is close to the town centre and it is a pretty little walk along the river to reach it. It only takes five minutes to get to the town centre and the Bristol Trader which we ate at several times was only a couple of minutes away.Haverfordwest has some nice independent shops and several supermarkets, the farmers market on Fridays is fantastic and we stocked up with eggs, bread, cake and preserves.There is plenty to do within a half hours drive including days out for kids and walks for dogs. The beaches are lovely.Thank You for our wonderful stay!

This was a lovely house with a beautiful garden, all equipment we needed was provided, with thoughtful extras. Owners were helpful and friendly. Haverfordwest was a good base to explore the area and has shops/pubs etc within walking distance. I recommend this as a place to stay and would stay again.
