Rated 5/50 by Alliandsimon on 16th June 2018

"Stay for a week in June 2018. This is a holiday let which has everything going for it. Pros: 2 parking spaces Downstairs toilet & utility with washing machine & tumble 1 huge bedroom with French doors overlooking front 1 double which is quite tight width wise 1 with 2 singles, ideal really as the second double, French doors 1 bathroom, nice & spacious 1 very large shower room. We were 2 families with 1 7 year old & this house suited us to a tee The lounge is huge & has a large round table with 6 chairs The kitchen is massive & has all you will need & even plastic plates etc for children, a really nice touch The beds are comfy & clean We have already booked for next year The owner really cares & is very friendly 5 mins walk up the hill to North beach which is really great for children 10 mins walk into town, which has a good variety of shops & a fab pasty shop, amusements, electrical shop, clothes shops & one off shops. 2 mins down the hill for a large Co-op 10 mins out of Tenby, you are in the countryside with many attractions Cons: The kitchen needs a mat at the back door as the floor is slippy when wet The kitchen cooker hood needs a good clean & the kitchen floor had coffee that had been on it for ages, I did try getting it up with baby wipes, but it had obviously been there to long The lamps in the bedroom need to be brighter/higher for bedtime reading Love a larger telly Overall: So, so lovely, owner cares about his letting a & this shows in little touches I give this let 10/10 as the cons are so minor Masses of space for everyone to not be under each other's feet Thank you Jes"

"Rented this cottage for a 3 night break through Sykes cottages. Contacted the owner 3 days before our arrival for directions & arrival procedure. The owner is a very nice friendly gentleman who gave me directions which were spot on, he informed me where the key would be and also relative information regarding the rental. I asked if we could arrive earlier than the specified time on the booking form and he said it would be okay so long as we gave an expected arrival time {nice touch}. On arrival the owner was there to greet us personally & he showed us how to switch on the heating / fire / washing machine etc. There is parking space for 2 cars. On first impressions the house is exactly as shown in the photos, The living room area is very large & had panoramic views through the patio doors. It has two sofas & an arm chair, large round table with 6 chairs. There is a TV with free-view & also some games to play if so desired. The kitchen was adequate for what we needed, it had all the essential equipment for a weekend stay. There is a utility room with a toilet downstairs. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, of which one is absolutely huge with a king size bed & wardrobe & is also large enough to put another bed in there. it also has patio doors which open onto he veranda which runs across the front of the house. The other 2 rooms both have double beds & wardrobes, one of these also open out onto the veranda. There are 2 bathrooms upstairs of which both have showers. Bed linen & towels are provided. In the entrance hall is a stand which provides leaflets / brochures of local attractions / restaurants and general things to do in the area. The location of the house is approx 10 mins from the town. Overall our stay was excellent & I would really recommend renting this property, have a look on the website. A week after our stay the owner contacted me, which again is another plus point as it shows he cares about feedback regarding his property. Will definitely rent this house again in the near future."

"The house was lovely and there was plenty of room for me, my husband and my parents. All facilites one would ned were there and it rerally was a home from home. We were very lucky with the weather and when not exploring Tenby and the surrounding area, enjoyed sitting in the garden soaking up sun. All in all a superb time was had by all and we would certainly all be happy to return"

"Property available on arrival and was spacious and comfortable. Within walking distance of the town centre and the beaches which were fabulous. In particular South Beach and its amenities are recommended. Facilities at North Beach need upgrading. Particularly recommend walking along beaches when the tide is out."

"The Orangery was a spacious, well-equipped and modern property, excellently prepared by the owner. Good interior facilities, a nice garden which was enjoyed by our granddaughter especially and perfect for sharing with our daughter and son in law because of the space and the 2 bathrooms.It was very conveniently situated close to the North beach and all town amenities and had very good parking facilities. We also liked the slightly over the top pink colour as it made for a cheerful holiday home!."

"Just returned from 2 weeks in the Orangery - a lovely property just 5 minutes walk up St John's Hill to the North Beach and top of the town. Another 5 minutes will get you to the South beach. Property was spotless and included everything you'd need for a stay. 2 toilets in upstairs bath/shower rooms and 1 downstairs in utility with washing machine and dryer. Beds comfortable, big lounge with gas fire and freeview tv/dvd. We travelled with 3 teenage boys and this was great accommodation for us. There are steps up to the property and Tenby itself it pretty hilly so it may not suit someone with mobility problems. The owner was very helpful -quickly replaced the dryer the following day when it broke and lent us a map when we told him we were going to St Davids. Tenby was a great base to see Pembrokeshire. We had mixed weather so only got on the beach a couple of days. Would recommend the Tudor Merchant's House and Lifeboat station in the town. Also St Mary's church is worth a look at. Qube does a lovely meal, although pricey for a family ( they do an early evening menu cheaper, but no-one ordered from it!!) The Buccaneer did a good meal too and has a lovely beer garden. Get fish and chips from the shop in Lower Frog Street - the others aren't nearly as good. We went on the Ghost Walk, which was just average I'd say - very pleasant and entertaining guide, just the stories weren't much cop. There's a Tesco Express in the Main Street and a bigger Sainsbury's handy. At the bottom of St John's Hill just a minute away is a Spar at the filling station which is good for milk bread etc. What else? A trip to Heatherton was great and the Treetops well worth doing. Oakwood theme park great day out as was Caldey Island. We took a wildlife trip from Cardigan and this was very enjoyable although we only saw 3 dolphins briefly and a few seals. Plenty of birds though and the inflatable boat was an experience in itself. Chocolate factory was good, but maybe better form younger kids, Blue Lagoon water park was good for all the family - would be excellent for younger ones and you could eat there without getting out of swimwear which I hadn't come across before. Hubby and I went to Laugharne to see Dylan Thomas Boathouse. Worth a trip but don't eat in the cafe as it seems very overpriced. Manorbier Castle definitely worth a visit and the beach is lovely too. You can have a picnic there and get a cup of tea at the tearoom. Pembroke castle terrific. Walked round Carew castle and mill but didn't go in ( castled out by then!). Seemed nice and the walk round the lake was pleasant. Tenby is a great base to see lots of places and even if the weather isn't great, just get out and go for it - it rarely rains all day without ceasing. The Orangery is a great, quiet and pretty convenient place to stay. You'll have good calf muscles by the end with all the hills!"

"A wonderful and spacious well-appointed house with comfortable rooms and in a great location. Our party was ourselves, a teenager, a child and a toddler. Lots to do and see in the local area and near to lovely beaches."

"Absolutely amazing accommodation. Spotless in cleanliness. Good facilities, more than a home from home!"

"What an amazing house! Very spacious indeed and beautifully furnished and comfortable. We really enjoyed our week here and although the weather was changeable, to say the least, it was nice to have such a nice place to come home to at the end of the day. The property was also fairly close to all amenities and the beach although it was a hit of a climb."
