Curlew, MILFORD HAVEN

Rated 5/50 by RossDo on 7th October 2019

"Marvellous weather does help but with so many facilities and so much room for the four of us it would have been perfect even without the good weather. Everything is easy from the simple key box to get in to the fully equipped kitchen and multiple bathrooms. The outside space looking out on the estuary is brilliant and a great place to relax. Been several times before and hopefully will keep coming back to this home from home."

"I was quite shocked at a previous review when I came to review this property. I and m y family found it perfect for our stay in Pembrokeshire. Upon arrival we found some kindly left amenities including delicious welshcakes for our enjoyment. The property was sparkling clean and contained everything in the kitchen required to cook a decent meal. The views when the tide is in over the estuary are lovely too. The space is comfortable, cosy and homely yet also modern and trendy. I slept better than I sleep at home! There is a large balcony overlooking the estuary (which we fished off!) and a slip to allow you to put boats in the water (if you have one). The bedrooms are bright and spacious with plenty of storage. The living area has a decently sized TV, boardgames and a few books which we made good use of. Aside from the property itself, there is much to do in the area by means of historical landmarks, coastal path walks with breathtaking views and plenty of attractions for both older and younger generations. The nearby town of Milford Haven has a pretty marina with endless bars/restaurants and friendly faces. The owner happened to walk by one morning (they live nearby) and stopped for a chat with us and to ensure that everything was running smoothly with our stay (which it was). My family and I have stayed here a few times now on our visits to Pembrokeshire and we shall definitely be choosing this property again when we return next year."

"We have just had a week in this beautiful cottage. It was well equipped with everything we needed and was comfortable and cosy. It is on the waters edge which made bird watching great and we loved seeing the tide come in and out. It is well situated to tour Pembrokeshire and there are some great restaurants in the harbour. We will definitely return. "

"After travelling all day to reach Curlew cottage, we could not get inside. We were given a key code by Sykes Cottages letting agents which did not work. After eventually getting in touch by my mobile, we were told they would contact the owners and get back to us. We waited nearly two hours and only by chance the couple next door were leaving and assisted us. It was very clear at this point we were not given the right instructions. They never did get back to us, but lied and said they tried and left a voice message on my phone. Strangley enough there were no missed calls recorded and they sent us an email saying they tried to contact us but couldn't leave a voicemail ???? We are still waiting for an explanation and an apology at least. The cottage is extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses need replacing as my husband and I and the friends that stayed with us all suffered with bad backs from the mattresses being to soft. The sopha also needs replacing for the same reason. The central heating is uncontrollable and comes on at all hours of the day and night. Even turning the thermastats down made no difference. The toilet in the main bedroom is only big enough for a child as it's wedged between the shower and the wall. The wooden stairs are steep and dangerous and if you are elderly or infirm in any way they are extremely difficult to go up or down. Getting your cases upstairs is ridiculously difficult. On closer inspection of other posters who left a positive feedback, they are few and far between and a long time ago. On first appearance the cottage looks ideal, but the faults only come to light once you are staying there. Stupid things like the dressing table mirror placed to high up the wall, that you have to stand up to see into it. All of this I would not have bothered writing a review if I had had an apology from the owners or Sykes letting agents who left us there and lied to us about getting back to us after waiting two hours to get inside the cottage. The owners did not agree with our complaints, well they wouldn't would they. They just couldn't care less and were only interested in taking our money. This was a very expensive experience as we cancelled a booking we'd made to stay there in August, knowing there was no way we could stay there again. We lost a great deal of money in a deposit we had placed. All in all Sykes letting agents, the owners of the cottage, were both unprofessional and anyone that stays here should be aware if they need assistance they won't get it."

"This accommodation was excellent. When we arrived one of the beds had not been made but this was very quickly dealt with by one telephone call. Not only was the bed made but we received a complimentary bottle of wine. The house was light, spacious and very well designed and maintained. It had everything we needed for our holiday. The location by the estuary inlet was great and we enjoyed watching the swans and other birds when the tide came in and out. The patio/terrace is a brilliant feature and much used during our stay. Perfect for a G&T; as the sun goes down! We were grateful for the directions as the sat nav did not take us right to the property. There were 6 of us in the property. We all enjoyed our stay and found plenty of things to do in the area."
