Karin “This was our 3rd stay at Skomer & as always, lovely & clean.”
Starter items there as well as procecco & welsh cakes are much appreciated. Great area & lodges, lovely setting. We have been holidaying in West Wales for over 25 years & know the area very well & these lodges are one of the nicest self catering properties we have stayed in. Enclosed garden is great for the dog. Great weather, just 1 day of rain. John one of the owners checked all OK on the evening we arrived . Already booked again for September & can't wait.
- Karin, June 2024Lisa “Wow the property was amazing Based in a lovely quiet location Decorated beautifully very clean everything you could think of was provided.”
Bonus having a enclosed private garden and also a utility room The hosts were friendly and made sure everything was to our liking. Will definitely be back
- Lisa, May 2024Jenny “Weather dreadful, but lodge was comfortable ,dry and warm.”
I am not very mobile so I was pleased to find the accommodation easy for me to move around. Shower brilliant ! No big step. My husband really appreciated the recreation room where he was able to do the exercises set for him by the chiropractor. Great.
- Jenny, April 2024Karin “This was our 2nd stay at Skomer Lodge but our 4th time at Bierwood Lodges.”
All the lodges are identical. Situated in a lovely quiet area not far from Tenby. Always clean & cozy with welcome pack on arrival. Each lodge has an enclosed garden which is ideal for 4 legged friends. Owners property not far if any problems & they are always very nice & approachable. We enjoyed a relaxing week with great weather, enjoyed some lovely meals out & visited lots of nice beaches & areas along the Pembrokeshire coastline. We love the lodges so much that we have booked again for June & september
- Karin, April 2024Julie “My son and family stayed in Skomer Lodge, we stayed in Ramsey Lodge, a fantastic place for a family break, Lodge excellent, with dogs welcome and ideal place to stay with having a secure garden.”
Area great for walking too, Manorbier beach being nearby. Would highly recommend.
- Julie, April 2024Colin “We found the lodge to be everything we expected and wanted.”
We were very cozy comfortable and at home until the manager came (I believe to welcome us) and made us super on guard when he made a point of informing us we had left the ge outside light on, almost demanded to meet our dog and implied she should be running in the dog field provided or down in the beach rather than lying in the chalet, when said field was visited we found it not to be fenced and thus not really safe for dogs to run off the lead. It was a shame that the "welcome" visit did not feel so welcome and our stay became stilted and stiff from the relaxed it had been. It's a lovely place, in so many ways and without that visit would have been a fabulous stay recommended to everyone.
- Colin, November 2023Justine “Property was wonderful, finished to a high standard.”
Dog friendly as an added bonus. We would definitely visit again and already recommended it to family and friends.
- Justine, October 2023Lesley “What an amazing stay!”
The lodge was perfect - couldn’t fault it in anyway - clean and modern with excellent facilities. Enclosed garden was great so that our two dogs had a place to play safely. Only wish the weather had been on our side so that we could have sat outside to enjoy the patio and fire pit! The owners are lovely so friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent - the Bara brith and dog biscuits were such a lovely touch. 5 stars just isn’t enough only wish we could have given more!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and look forward to coming back in the future! Lesley, Emily & Fur babies Malibu & Bailey x
- Lesley, September 2023Chris “We left a day early and put this holiday down as a poor experience.”
Though immaculately presented Skomer lodge is sandwiched in between a new build site of about 20 houses and the owners house and garden. The owner has a construction project or similar in his garden or grounds which was pretty relentless power tool noise from 8.00am onwards. No lazy lie ins here. We did politely mention the noise a couple of times and were promised it would stop, but it didn’t until the last Friday, when we simply chose to leave. The owners clearly knew this was an issue and offered us a cake to apologise. Will never go back or recommend. Waste of a week.
- Chris, August 2023Catherine “Really lovely property.”
Spotlessly clean and modern. Also a great location for exploring the local areas and beaches.
- Catherine, August 2023Susan “This is a lovely base for a holiday - all the facilities you need and the enclosed garden a real plus when you have a dog.”
Location puts you close to so many lovely places. Will be back.
- Susan, July 2023Carl “An amazing lodge.”
The owners have thought of everything when it comes to all your creature comforts. Owners always available nice welcome gift including prosecco bara brrith and biscuits for the dogs. Will definitely be back and would recommend to everyone.
- Carl, June 2023Jane “It was everything we could of wanted.”
Owners really helpful and when I made an enquiry if there was a fan at property they immediately responded with" we will happily provide one". The garden was so so safe and private especially for the dogs. The welcome " pack" was great ( especially the bara brith and proseco) . We had such a lovely time we are going back in August!
- Jane, May 2023Barry “Lovely accommodation, very well equipped, lovely location and setting and very friendly owners.”
The only real downer on the week was there was a bonfire lit virtually every week evening and we couldn't enjoy the garden in the evening and had to close windows and doors and stay inside, as my wife suffers from COPD a lung infection that severely affects her breathing. There are also building works going on in close proximity that we should have been warned about before booking. Fortunately it was on the other side to us ,and didn't impact on our stay to much. But overall very happy and would book again in the future.
- Barry, May 2023Sydney “Excellent location Beautiful beaches and walks within a few miles Accommodation first class”
- Sydney, May 2023Ruth “Skomer lodge is lovely, clean and comfortable with a safe envionrment even for my little escape artist terrier in a beautiful part of Wales.”
I would recommend a stay here but only when the construction work is complete. Building work is currently going on behind the lodge so I was woken before 8 am every morning by vehicle reversing alarms. This was very disappointing as I had booked the stay to catch up on sleep and relax in the garden which the construction noise interrupted. I understand that this is not the owner’s fault but feel I should have been made aware of the works prior to booking.
- Ruth, May 2023Gary “Stayed at Skomer Lodge for three nights over a bank holiday weekend.”
The cleanest placed we have ever stayed with fantastic facilities and in a great location. Owners were available but didn't bother anyone and super friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend with or without dogs. If you do have dogs is super safe. Stay here, it's fantastic and sits in a beautiful part of lovely Wales!
- Gary, April 2023Richard “After a 7 hour journey to arrive at the Lodge what we hoped for, we got.”
It was immaculately clean and had everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable. It is very dog friendly with enclosed decking and rear garden. The owner Barry was very knowledgeable and helpful and on hand should you need anything. There is a bus stop and train station within walking distance of the Lodge. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to escape for a few days.
- Richard, April 2023Marie “We had a lovely short break 17th to 20th of April, the lodge was ideal for our 2 ...”
We had a lovely short break 17th to 20th of April, the lodge was ideal for our 2 dogs the owners had thought of everything to insure our beloved fur babies were safe ,the garden was totally secure, will definitely be going again
- Marie, April 2023Amanda “We had a lovely time in the Skomer lodge.”
It was extremely comfortable, modern and very clean. I would highly recommend and hope to return soon. Everything about it was perfect!
- Amanda, April 2023Debra “Really pleased with our last minute choice for a short break away with our new little grandson.”
The accommodation had everything you could think of and more for a comfortable and relaxing break. The owners were friendly and the welcome pack including Bara brith was a real treat. Dog friendly and good dog walk onsite. An ideal location for Tenby, Manobier, Saundersfoot and Barfundle. We will be back.
- Debra, January 2023Karen “Skomer lodge was an amazing place, catering for people and dogs.”
Inside+the lodge was immaculate, modern , warm and inviting . The kitchen was perfect, bathroom was huge and boot room was handy to store dog things, coats , wellies etc . Local pub castle inn , has amazing food , Manorbier beach was fab , within walking distance, car park is there too. Went on train to Tenby . Peaceful area, Will come and again . Downside : No cleaning products for bathroom, kitchen ,only washing up liquid . No tinfoil to use in oven , no kitchen roll, Would preferred bath sheets instead of bath towels. Bring extra tea, coffee sugar , toilet roll
- Karen, October 2022Thank you for your positive feedback. We do provide a welcome pack but the properties are self catering properties and guests are expected to bring their own supplies for the rest of the week. Property Owner
Emma “We have just returned from a weeks stay at one of the lodges and can't rate it highly enough!”
Perfect location to explore lovely Pembrokeshire and the lodge it's self was spotlessly clean, really comfortable and had absolutely everything we could need. Our daughters loved the games room too! The lodge was great for our dog, with a really lovely, secure lawned garden. We will definitely be returning!
- Emma, October 2022Charles “Very enjoyable environment and a lovely clean cabin.”

- Charles, September 2022Kate “Lovely quiet setting.”
Excellent lodge and very dog friendly. Totally secure garden. Very clean and well looked after. Home from home with everything you could need. The lodge was extremely well furnished and decorated to a high standard. Lovely courtyard and porch to sit out too.
- Kate, July 2022Susan “We had a really lovely stay at skomer lodge!”
Perfect location for exploring Pembrokeshire, everything in the lodge we could need for our stay and spotlessly clean. Thank you again and we look forward to returning again in the future.
- Susan, May 2022Stephenie “Just Wonderful!”
Perfectly located for Tenby and the surrounding areas. Chosen as it was dog friendly but this is no ordinary dog friendly accommodation. The lodge is absolutely pristine, and the decor and furniture to a higher standard than most. Enclosed garden at the back and veranda to the front was perfect for our blind dog, perfectly secure. For the humans the tea, coffee, milk (and prosecco if you want it) on arrival was a nice tough. Well equipped, everything you need for a holiday is provided in the lodge, torch, tea towel, sponge, washing up liquid, hairdryer, iron. It just feels like the owners really take pride in their accommodation and want their guests to have the best stay. The little extra touches they have provided don't go unnoticed. Thank you.
- Stephenie, April 2022Karin “We have just returned from our first stay at bierwood lodges & we weren't disappointed.”
Booked as a last minute getaway Skomer Lodge was set in lovely tranquil surroundings & was lovely & clean & tidy. The added bonus here is the enclosed gardens with a patio & furniture. This was a great base to relax in between visiting its many beaches & towns. The owners were very approachable & on hand if needed . The weather was glorious for the 6 nights we stayed. I have already booked a lodge for June as luckily there was availability.Thank you Barry, Jacinta & Liz
- Karin, March 2022Jayne “A beautifully furnished homely cottage with the enclosed garden for our dog.”
Wonderfully warm, very clean and a lovely welcome pack awaited our arrival. Great location as a 10 minute walk to the train line taking you into Tenby and beyond if you didn't want to drive. Definitely revisit.
- Jayne, March 2022Ben “Excellent place to stay, highly recommended.”
- Ben, November 2021Barry “We were very comfortable during our stay.”
It was an ideal base to explore the beautiful beaches of Pembrokeshire and surrounding areas. The secure enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs. We have already recommended to some of our friends. We will stay again. Many Thanks Barry and Sue
- Barry, November 2021Renata “Fab stay and beautiful lodge.”
Perfect for the dogs with enclosed garden. Excellent location for the beautiful beaches in Pembrokeshire. Could do with an outside light in the car park for the autumn nights.
- Renata, November 2021Thank you for your feedback. We have now installed motion sensor lighting in the car park. Property Owner
Meryl “We had a fantastic week at the Skomer Lodge.”
It is in a super location, not far from Tenby, but with the benefit of being quiet and secluded. Perfect for taking the dog with the secure garden, and the good-size utility room is a real bonus. The lodge was warm and cosy and beautifully furnished. Our only negative was no dishwasher. The owners were very welcoming and the welcome tray of goodies a nice touch. We have booked again and hope for another lovely week. Thank you!
- Meryl, October 2021Wendy “Fantastic dog friendly lodge (completelyenclosedgarden).”
Clean and well equipped. Utility room a bonus.
- Wendy, October 2021Bessim “We had a fantastic week in Skomer Lodge, it had everything you could need and was very comfortable.”
Tea, coffee, milk, bara brith etc were all very welcome after a long drive. Everything was spotless. It is situated in a lovely location with plenty of beautiful walks, including the lily ponds which then lead down onto Broad Haven beach and the walk to Barafundle Bay. We have always loved this part of Wales and this was the ideal place to stay within easy distance of many delightful places. We will be booking to return soon.
- Bessim, October 2021Ruth “Well equipped ,beautifully furnished lodge ,one of three in a very ...”

- Ruth, September 2021Kate “A wonderful week in wonderful lodge, such a great place to stay both comfortable and stylish in a brilliant location for Tenby and the national trust beaches at Stackpole, Barafundle and Broad haven South.”
The kitchen has everything we needed and with a young family we cooked every night along with a few bbqs in the garden. We particularly liked the bonus of the communal spaces.. Boules and badminton area alongside the games room which we used in the evening after a day on the beach. The utility room is another great feature of this property. We would love to return one day.
- Kate, August 2021Sarah “Absolutely fantastic place to dtay.”
