Luxurious & Unique Cottage Nestled in the Idyllic Pembrokeshire Coast National P

Lovely cottage for a small family. Location perfect for exploring Pembrokeshire and beaches. Close to Haverfordwest for supermarkets etc. We loved exploring the peaceful reservoir. The only downside was a lack of access to WiFi and hence internet access. The owner tells me that this is soon to happen and this will absolutely make it perfect for anyone staying there. Strong recommend and would be delighted to return to stay here. The owner was super helpful for our stay both with recommendations re beaches and places to go ( slightly more difficult with pandemic restrictions) and was easily accessible for some very minor troubleshooting. A fabulous holiday stay.

Lovely cottage. Very clean and amazing bathrooms. Only disappointment was to find it was a 45 min walk to the beach along a road. Otherwise all was perfect. Thank you

We loved our week in this super cottage. It is comfortable (fab bathrooms) and very peaceful, with no near neighbours. We loved the walk through the wood to the lake, and our favourite beach was the wonderful Marloe Sands. Very good, helpful owner. Thank you for a lovely week.

Syke Mill is a very comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting located in a lush wooded area. It has been beautifully renovated and the three bedrooms with each their private bathroom was a plus. We easily located the many villages along the coast and traveled as far as picturesque Tenby during our stay. When renting the cottage, be sure to bring your toiletries as only hand soap is provided. Travelling from Canada, we were on airplane mode so wifi did not work for us but made family interactions that much easier. There were many opportunities to tap in, in the villages. We would definitely recommend this cottage in Walwyns Castle to anyone wanting to experience the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park area.

The cottage is modetn and has everything you need to make you stay a good one, we travelled into Tenby and Saundersfoot, which were only a 30 to 40 min drive away, the beaches at Little Haven and Broad Haven were lovely. The cottage is modern and the beds are really comfortable, the bath in the master bedroom was great. Would stay again Clare and Family

A very well appointed, modernised cottage in a very quiet corner of beautiful Pembrokeshire Great communication from the owner , very helpful with questions on things to do and amenities , and was quick to resolve a small issue of too few towels on arrival Large garden enclosed for dogs, mostly covered with wild flowers/grasses, could have been more of a path up to the decking area , could be offputting if grass was wet (although the owner did offer to get the grass cut, we declined due to children suffering from hay fever) Well appointed interior, pictures are an accurate representation. Small niggles of 1. poorly fitting bathroom doors with no locks 2. en-suite wetroom to twin room only had a shower curtain As a door, making the bedroom very humid , better to just use as loo, and shower instead in the large wet room downstairs 3. Parking area might have been thought through a bit better , just about got 2 hatchbacks off the road but lived with it for a week Freesat TV and DVD player, good selection of board games and bar football for entertainment, came in handy because there is no WiFi or phone signal inside, and only weak 4G on carpark area or decking (we had Vodafone, EE, O2 and 3, made no difference ) Large tesco in Milford haven 10 mins away, as are nearest pubs in little haven There is a nice nature reserve 25 yards down the road we found good for dog walking Despite negative comments (intended as feedback for owners as they clearly are passionate about providing a quality accommodation and excellence of service) compared to other properties I’ve stayed in I would rate this comparatively highly

This cottage was perfect for us. Conveniently situated for both Town and coast it's tucked away right next to woodland with the sound of a bubbling brook and birds singing to gently wake you up in the mornings. It really is a home from home with quality beds, bedding and kitchen equipment. It was so useful to have a washer and dryer available for our use in the utility room and we were never cold as there is a very efficient central heating system and fabulous wood burning stove which makes for very cosy evenings. I have to mention that the owner went the extra mile to accommodate our needs and was amazingly friendly in all our communications - a big thank you to her for that.

A high quality, well equipped cottage in a great location. Great communication with the owner. A really great holiday

We were lucky enough to spend 2 weeks here in this beautiful part of Wales. The accommodation is finished to a high standard in a quiet and secluded spot with access to a lovely walk right across the road. There are some wonderful beaches close by, with lots to see and do and very nice places to eat locally. We liked it so much we are planning to stay again next summer.

We (family of four including two teenagers, plus dog) stayed here over Halloween week. Despite being tucked away down a country lane, it was easy to find thanks to good directions from the owners. We loved this cottage which has been fitted out to a very high spec. Kitchen has large modern oven, dishwasher, microwave etc, and there is an extra fridge in the utility room. Plenty of cupboard space for storing food etc - and there was milk, tea, coffee, welsh cakes etc. all waiting for us on arrival, as well as Halloween decorations! The bath tub in the master bedroom en-suite is huge, and the downstairs wet room has a powerful 'rainforest' shower. All bathroom fittings are top quality and added to the sense of luxury. The central heating warmed the house very quickly and was easy to use (just adjust the thermostat), and there is also a wood burner in the sitting room that creates a cosy atmosphere. There is a digital tv and DVD player with a selection of family friendly films, as well as a big trunk full of family favourite games like Monopoly and Scrabble. The location was perfect for us and dog. There is a lovely woodland walk to a reservoir that is only 10 mins from the front door, and the beaches at Little Haven and Broad Haven are only a 10/15 min drive away. Haverfordwest is a 15min drive away and there is a large Tesco there with petrol station, as well as a Morrisons and a Lidl. There was plenty of info in the cottage on what to do and where to go in Pembrokeshire. We'd recommend St Davids, Whitesands beach, Newgale beach, Barafundle Bay, Broad Haven South, as well as the closer Little Haven and Broad Haven. All are stunning and have excellent coastal path walks. We couldn't pick up wifi in the cottage, but this wasn't a problem as it kept kids off devices! A 20 metre walk up the lane and I could get 3g. All communication with the owners was straightforward and clear, and we would love to return in the future!

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing break at Syke Mill. This home is well equipped and situated in a beautiful area. Whilst being in a quiet location, we were within a short drive to local amenities and also beaches and beauty spots. Looking forward to our next visit!

A beautiful haven is a fantastic area. We had a great stay with our 2 dogs, bikes and kitesurfing kit! It was like staying in a natural playground with the luxury of returning to a beautiful base. The cottage was well equipped, clean with plenty of space. It is in a fantastically tranquil area with really friendly locals.

We needed a place that has very easy access and easy movement inside for our elderly parents who have limited mobility. This place was ideal for us. We all had our own privacy, parents used the bedroom and adjacent wet room on the ground floor. We had the upstairs floor to ourselves. One bedroom has a king bed with ensuite bathroom which is very spacious. You can lay back in the bath and look out at the trees and beautiful blue sky ( we had fantastic weather) The other room has twin beds and an suite shower, plenty of room. The property is very well set out ,an ideal place for you to chill out and relax. It is situated in a lovely quiet spot, very private.

Modern conversion of old mill, immaculately maintained and well converted. Modern appliances, very comfortable, and brilliant location for all on offer in Pembrokeshire. Walking, water sports (Dale nearby for canoe and sailing boat hire), Newgale beach for surfing, boarding and kite boarding, Abereiddy for coasteering. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby (The Griffin, Dale; The Shed, Porthgain, Cwatch St Davids, for example). Circualr walk (4m) from Porthgain to Abereiddy and back followed by lunch lovely (but book restaurants and pubs in high season). Lots of castles and places to visit, Tenby, Llanstefan (S. of St Clears, amazing views), Laugharne (Dillon Thomas home), and nearby Museum of Speed. Or with young kids just spend time on beach. Property good for rainy days, too, with FreeSat TV and radio, and good outdoor areas including BBQ. Short walks from property too. Highly recommend property and excellent and friendly liasion with hosts.

Theproperty was very well designed and the materials used throughout, flooring, bathrooms, staircase were of a very high standard. It was also very tastefully decorated, and the kitchen was well equipped, although a few more chopping boards would have been useful. All the electrical appliances worked well. Fortunately, as we were preparing to leave, we were able to meet the owner, Hafida, who was interested to hear our comments - positive and otherwise! Some of our negative comments had been noted before by previous guests, such as the fridge being far too small for six people, the lack of anywhere to hang up towels to dry, also the fact that if as we do, you like to read in bed, the lamps there are not suitable. We would also have appreciated more tea towels, toothbrush glasses and more hand towels, we only had three for five people, although there were five bath towels. We also had to buy cleaning materials, washing powder, dishwasher tabs, a washing up brush, and bin liners, which we left there for the next guests. Apparently this is normal practice. Hafida listened to all our suggestions, and has since informed me that many of them have already been implemented. In the next few months, the garden should be finished, which will provide a much nicer aspect from the house. With all the recommendations in place, this will be a beautiful, peaceful oasis to relax in and enjoy.

We had a lovely long weekend as a family of four and our dog. Easy to find and nestled by the stream. We loved the walk to the reservoir and perfect to let the dog run there first thing in the morning. She got out of the garden at the back so just worth considering for others with dogs that like to wander :-) Beds very comfortable (but sheets crumpled) and utility space great. We were out each day at the beach - Marloes - but the boys headed to the upper deck to get their 4g fix early evenings! (love the solar lights) Made a great and much needed escape. Thank you.

This fantastic little property, nestled in the woods and a short drive from lovely beaches was my idea of paradise and I did not want to come home. This property is the best self catering cottage that allows dogs that I have ever stayed in. The layout and facilities were second to none. You enter through a utility room which is ideal for removing boots, wiping dirty paws and discarding muddy outer layers before entering the living area, and lets face it, it is Wales, it will rain at some point. An outside tap allows you to wash inevitable mud and sand from your boots. Inside there is everything you could want or need. A well equipped kitchen, with items that most self catering cottages forget (sieves, cooking utensils, a range of various cooking pots and oven trays). A beautiful welcoming touch is the hand made mat on which sat what became my favourite item for breakfast, Welsh Cakes. Also, for halloween, Hafida had a pumpkin waiting for my 8 year old to carve, which made his day. With plenty of seating in sofas around the fireplace or at the large kitchen table, there is plenty of room in this open plan living area. The bedrooms are an excellent size and the beds were dressed beautifully. Storage is in abundance with built in cupboards, chest of drawers, bedside tables and even dressing tables. Beautifully adorned mirrors are on all walls in the bathrooms, which is often an overlooked feature in most holiday lets. But the little items for me added the touch of quality. Hand wash in all the bathrooms, with added moisturiser in the master ensuite. Dishes of pot pourri adding a decorative touch. Bed linens and soft towels that smelt wonderful. The shower in the wet room was amazing, the huge bath in the ensuite was divine. The outside of the property was just as amazing, considering that the land is on a hillside, good use has been made to utilise the space. The decking does get slippy when it is wet, but then so does mine at home. Across the road is the nature reserve and woodland, I found what I call my secret stream, hidden away through ferns and holly which I would stop at and just listen to the quiet sounds of nature. At night, when it’s clear, the stars can be seen so brightly and you can hear the nocturnal animals. There is limited phone signals, but i found this refreshing, not to be contacted by cold callers for a whole week, I felt it did my 8 year old good to be away from the internet too. I would happily live here.

Thank you! We Nelsons (family of 4 plus Labrador) all had a brilliant holiday. Hafida has created a really beautiful holiday retreat - we were very excited when we arrived and explored inside. So many luxuries and our young people (12 and 14 years) thoroughly enjoyed having a bathroom each! We loved the nearby nature reserve and walked there every day spotting kingfishers and jumping fish - so peaceful and tranquil. When we were 'home' we did need to train our dog not to wander off behind the raised decking area - dogs do love to explore (!) and the garden is not enclosed by a fence all the way round. One of our family highlights was a mini adventure walking to the pub at Little Haven one evening - quite a challenge but well worth it and definitely memorable... many of the local footpaths are overgrown and quite challenging so sticking to the mainly single track road route recommended by Hafida would be wise! So many incredible places to explore... Stackpole (walking and Paddle Boarding), Dale (crabbing and driftwood sculptures), Marloes, Broadhaven (amazing Cafe 'The Bay'), Newgale (our dog's favourite) ... so much to do in this lovely area! Syke Mill is a beautiful secluded cottage in a truly outstanding area of Pembrokeshire. We loved it! Nicola, Jon, Rachel, James and Nuala (dog)

We had a great time staying at Syke Mill and exploring beautiful Pembrokeshire. The weather during our stay was a bit mixed, but we managed 4 fantastic sunny beach days and would highly recommend beaches at: Marloes, Broad Haven, Tenby and Stackpoles. We also visited Solva, St Davids, Pembroke and the Lily Ponds at Bosherston and the kids loved their visit to Blue Lagoon, which was a great way of entertaining them on a wet afternoon. We would highly recommend The Griffin at Dale and St Brides Inn at Little Haven for eating out. Booking is advisable. The joining instructions and direction of how to get to Syke Mill were great and straight forward to follow. We didn't get lost! The cottage itself has been finished to a high standard, is well presented and very comfortable. The beds were v comfortable indeed. Great nights sleep had by all. Great utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer which we made use of. Slightly disappointed that the 'freezer' listed in the kitchen details, is no more than an ice box in an under counter fridge! Sadly we arrived with too much food, thinking some could go straight into the freezer. There would be room for an upright fridge / freezer in the utility room, which would be great considering the cottage accommodates 6. An under counter fridge is too small for a cottage catering for 6 in our opinion. There is a need for hooks in all bathrooms to hang towels, robes, wash bags etc... Unfortunately the can opener in the kitchen didn't work and was rusty, so we had to resort to other means to open up a can of custard! There was also only one wooden bread board / chopping board in the kitchen. An additional chopping board for raw meat would be highly advisable. All small things, but make a difference to your holiday. We left a note in the visitors book about these things and by the time we got home Hafida had emailed us addressing all the points we had made. We were really impressed as we never thought any one would come back to us about the comments we had left. Hafida obviously cares a lot about the home she hires out and wants to make sure things are right for her guests. Our kids loved the property so much, they wanted to bring it back to Suffolk with us! We had a great stay and would highly recommend this cottage.

It's a lovely little house, nicely furnished and equipped. Lovely owner too.

Instructions on how to get to the property were good and we had no difficulty finding it. It is situated in a very small peaceful village entered by single track roads with passing places. The local people we met were friendly and helpful. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard, has a well equipped kitchen, fridge on the small side for 4/6 people and modern touch button hob/microwave/oven which we soon managed to use with ease. We had mixed weather and when the sun shone the garden decking was ideal to sit out on and there are plenty of chairs/tables/parasol available. When it rained the decking was slightly slippery, so take care. The log fire and the heating both work well and were easy to use. The beds were lovely, clean and comfortable. It was very quiet and conducive to a good night's sleep. We did hear an owl one night! The bathrooms have high end fittings and the showers work well, with plenty of hot water at all times. The utility room was very useful and ensured that we did not have to take wet boots/clothes/dog straight into the lounge. TV works well but be aware that there is no internet and phone connections are patchy even in the garden. All in all a lovely cottage and with access to the a few local walks. Just over the road is a walk to the nature reserve with a small lake which was home to a pair of swans and 3 cygnets. Unfortunately the walk to the beach, which a local directed us to, is overgrown and the farmer has sown to the edge of the field so we couldn't use this way of visiting the beach. The short drive to Little Haven and Broad Haven is worth it and the other beaches along the coast to St David's are all worth a visit, all lovely sandy coves. A beautiful place to stay to explore the Pembrokeshire coast.
