“This was perfect for our family of 4.”

Just a shame it isn't any bigger for us to visit with friends and family. The place was absolutely spotless. The kids loved the novelty of TVs in the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed including an air fryer which meant everyone could get involved in the cooking! Every appliance we needed was there. The beds were super comfy. The house is close enough from Saundersfoot center as well as local towns to visit. The recycling appears intimidating but after a couple of days I loved it and ...

Just a shame it isn't any bigger for us to visit with friends and family. The place was absolutely spotless. The kids loved the novelty of TVs in the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed including an air fryer which meant everyone could get involved in the cooking! Every appliance we needed was there. The beds were super comfy. The house is close enough from Saundersfoot center as well as local towns to visit. The recycling appears intimidating but after a couple of days I loved it and wished we could recycle in the same way back home. Jo is a great host and we thought it was considerate of her to turn the heating on for our arrival and going above and beyond for us. We love going to new places and have never been to the same place twice but we all agreed to book again for next year- a family first!

“We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bay House.”

The house was very comfortable for the 2 of us with plenty of space. Everything we needed was provided and it was all very well presented. Our only comment, and why we have given the listing only 4 stars), is that we think the listing should advise that the steps up to the front door are deep and there is quite a high step over the front door frame into the house. Being short (5’2”) and there being no handrail this was an initial concern for me and could be an issue for those with any mobility issues particularly when leaving the house (although we think there is access via the rear garden). The installation of a grip or handrail would help. Overall we really enjoyed our stay but we didn’t tackle the steep and long walk back up the hill from Saundersfoot centre and beach!

Thayne October 2025

“Beautiful house, absolutely spotless and really comfortable for a couple or a family.”

The owner contacted me the day before with all the information we needed to access the property. The house is on a really quiet estate but it is at the top of a hill which is about a 20 min walk. Local taxi from the harbour if needed. We would definitely recommend this Beautiful house.

“Our third stay at Sandy Bay House.”

Some lovely upgrades since our last visit, a new kitchen and bathroom and upgraded en suite shower. We love the peace and quiet, no traffic noise just the occasional neighbour coming or going. The house is well equipped and the WiFi works well. The decor is simple and relaxing with a gorgeous picture of Tenby I never tired of looking at. My favourite beach to visit is Coppet Hall easy to park and access the beach. Tunnels take you along the coast path to Wiseman's Bridge. We had an interesting visit to the Museum of Land Speed in Pendine. Great for a rainy day. We'll no doubt be back again.

“Can't fault it!”

Absolutely fantastic. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Great location, very quiet and safe. Lovely people and a lovely town. Property is beautifully maintained and equipped with everything you can possibly need for a holiday. It is like a show house and it is hard to believe it is a holiday rental. Great attention to detail. Would 100% recommend and would gladly stay again if returned to the area. Well done and thanks. You deserve the highest praise.

Jack June 2025

“We had an excellent stay in Sandy Bay house, located on a quiet cul-de-sac felt very safe.”

Although the house doesn’t have a driveway there is plenty of parking on the street outside, and we felt comfortable leaving the car there. The beds were comfortable and we slept well in the master bedroom, the small 3rd bedroom worked well for our 4yr old (she found having her own TV a real treat!) and we didn’t use the twin room. The house was very clean and the WIFI was fast so we could easily watch things on streaming services. Remember to request towels with the owner (she’s very friendly) before the stay. Easy access to takeaways and a little shop in new hedges or Saundersfoot (the Chinese restaurant/ takeaway in Saundersfoot was very tasty!). We spent 2 days at Folly Farm and this was an easy drive of about 10 minutes. Just one point of improvement- the non-stick pans/ frying pan are quite scratched and could do with replacing, I’d probably bring my own next time but that might just be me being fussy! Thanks for a lovely holiday!

“Sandy Bay House is a very well appointed property.”

Tastefully decorated and all facilities supplied. Good information from owner about the property and local contacts etc. Good location 3 minutes from Saundersfoot harbour and beach by car . Walking is approx 15 -20 mins but steep climb back ... worth it for the views . We have rebooked !!!

“We loved staying at Sandy Bay House & had a relaxing week by the sea.”

Located in a quiet residential area it felt like home from home. Everything we needed in the kitchen utensil wise to self cater, which we did for a few meals but took advantage of the lovely restaurants in Saundersfoot & Tenby mostly. We tackled the hill from Saundersfoot back to the house daily & enjoyed the amazing views whilst doing so. Thank you for a lovely stay. Richard & Judith

Thank you for your lovely feedback . Property Owner
Sally September 2024

“Poor information regarding off road parking, website states off road parking, owner said to park on road in front as parking at the side of the property hinder the housekeeper/husband exiting the parking area.”

Luckily the housekeeper advising us to park in front of her property. The only double bed was extremely uncomfortable due to the extremely poor condition of it i.e the mattress was sagging down on the left side, the bed base did not join properly causing the mattress to not sit correctly on it. Worst bed I have ever slept in, had back ache for most of the holiday. It would be advisable to add in the description of the property the very steep hill you have to climb from the town, particularly if you are infirm/elderly. Leaking sink in bathroom, we had to wait in for plumber he rectified the leak but then the drainage in the sink was very slow to empty, luckily only had 2 days of it.

- Sally, September 2024

Thank you for your comprehensive feedback. We do hope that there were also some positive aspects as our feedback is normally very complementary about the property . Feedback about car parking and mattress is noted and we will review accordingly. It is unfortunate that a leak developed in the bathroom sink during one of your holiday days. We would like to mention that we acted immediately and fortunately were able to arrange for an emergency plumber to rectify the problem within a couple of hours of being notified . Property Owner

David May 2024

“Very clean, tidy and comfortable although the low back settees were not as comfortable as higher back ones, especially for my wife who suffers from back problems.”

Location okay but it was a steep hill to walk from the town, which was 0.7 miles distance.

- David, May 2024
Elizabeth September 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Sandy Bay House.”

The property was well stocked and very clean and tidy. The owner was very helpful when we rang to get the key details and recommended local sites and restaurants. We would happily stay again at this property.

- Elizabeth, September 2023
Charlotte August 2023

“Very homely feeling property with everything we needed.”

We would have found it useful to have some information about the surrounding area (local knowledge on ‘hidden gems’ like secluded beaches, recommended restaurants etc) and an extra toilet would have made the property perfect

- Charlotte, August 2023
Elaine July 2023

“Stayed for a week in Sandy Bay House, spotlessly clean, and everything we needed, a very private and enclosed outside seating area.”

The area is so quiet but a good busy vibe in the centre of village. Lots of eateries and sandy beaches close by . We booked into the spa at St Brides Hotel on the one rainy day . Would definitely recommend this property and stay again. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Elaine.

Hannah April 2023

“Sandy Bay House was a perfect location for myself and my 3 children to explore South Wales, despite a rather wet and blustery Easter week!”

The village of Saundersfoot is within easy reach and had a good range of restaurants, pubs and a few shops (booking a food delivery for the first day was worthwhile). The lovely quiet house was clean and comfortable and the offering of towels was gratefully received. The host is really easy to deal with and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Thank you.

Adrian October 2022

“Lovely stay!”

Great location for visiting South Wales and of course wonderful Saundersfoot. The house had everything needed, although access to a hoover would have been ideal, espeically with 2 small children in our party.

- Adrian, October 2022
Jayne September 2022

“The property was neat and tidy, with everything you could need for a week away.”

The property is located at the top of the hill with lovely views into the valley. There is also off-road parking down the side of the house, Infront of the property's garage. We were soon unpacked and it to the holiday with nice touches of the seaside theme through the house. We accidently bumped into the cleaners who were a lovely couple and made us feel at home straight away, they said any problem just give them a shout. The property owner was also very nice who gave me an insight to the property and things to do while in and around Saundersfoot. We will definitely come back again, we really enjoyed our stay. Jayne

Eleanor September 2022

“Sandy Bay is a lovely house in a beautiful location.”

It is very comfortable and everything you need is there. We found the beds very comfy and we enjoyed sitting outside on the little patio. It was also appreciated being able to park the car off the road. Yes, it is a climb back from the town centre, but it all helped with my fitness levels!

- Eleanor, September 2022
Richard August 2022

“The property was very neat, tidy and clean and had most of the facilities you would need on a holiday.”

The decor was nice and seaside themed and generally, it was a quiet place to stay. A pint of milk and a cake was provided for us on arrival. The outdoor seating area was again very neat and lovely to sit out on a good weather day. The house is located up a steep hill so just bear in mind you'll have to take a car or bus down to Saundersfoot if you don't fancy the steep walk back. To improve things, I would recommend the following (especially having paid the price we did): 1) Provide guest towels (most other cottages do) 2) We were told that tea bags were provided but there were only 5 left for us. Not a huge problem but I'd have brought some if I'd have known this. 3) There was a nespresso style coffee machine, but not coffee pods provided. We weren't going to buy them especially. 4) The TV reception was no good at all. Although the TV could pick up streaming channels, sometimes all we wanted to do was watch what was on TV at that time but not possible unless you watch BBC. Not a huge deal but again, it's the little details that help to improve your stay.

- Richard, August 2022

Thank you for your valued feedback. As the property is rented as self catering we like to provide our guests a welcome pack upon arrival to enable them to have often much needed refreshments such as tea , cake and milk until they have had time to do their own shop. The subject of towels is a matter of guest preference. We have listened to guest feedback over recent years and overwhelmingly guests prefer to use their own towels . We will continue to listen to guest feedback and can address this in future prior to guest arrival. One final comment related to tv reception is that we have had a new tv aerial installed as reception has been temperamental and there should now be a good choice of terrestrial and digital channels available .

Gillian July 2022

“We’ve just enjoyed a week in Sandy Bay House and gorgeous Saundersfoot.”

It’s a lovely, spotlessly clean and really well equipped house. As others have said, it is at the top of a steep hill but we used that as excuse to work off the holiday ice creams and get some steps in! On beach days we drove in and parked in the small car park by Tesco (£5 all day) but otherwise we walked. It’s located in a nice quiet road with plenty of parking available. The tv is a smart tv and doesn’t seem to be hooked up to terrestrial but that’s not an issue if you have Netflix etc. or bring some DVD’s. We weren’t in enough for it to be an issue. Would definitely stay again if we return to the town.

- Gillian, July 2022
Christopher July 2022

“Ok, so the house was wonderfully clean with comfy beds, good lounge, everything you’d need in the kitchen.”

Separate shower room to the bath & shower was amazing in the heat. There was always hot water. Parking was fine, no problems. It is a way to the beach and town, down and up a steep hill. Mirror in master bedroom- I would like this slightly lower so I could sit on floor styling my hair. All in all, we had a wonderful time here.

- Christopher, July 2022
David June 2022

“Tv very poor reception.”

Some of kitchen utensils on the cheap side. Single beds needs new mattresses. Bath towels on the very small side. Property very quiet and peaceful and very clean.

Anthony May 2022

“The house was very comfortable and clean in a quiet location.”

The house has all the necessary amenities. The owner was friendly and helpful with a query.The walk into the village centre is about 12 minutes but longer coming back due to a steep hill. Saundersfoot is lovely with beautiful beaches and some good restaurants and cafes.

Jonathan July 2021

“Lovely clean house with everything we needed.”

Great location for exploring the area (I'd take the car to Saundersfoot beach if carrying lots as rather a steep walk back). Really loved Saundersfoot - a brilliant family friendly beach. Would book this house again.

Mark August 2020

“Very enjoyable stay at Sandy Bay House.”

Superb location to Saundersfoot beach (which is fantastic!). You'd want to drive though as a steep return journey. House had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Found it impossible to get a phone signal from both our mobiles though although perhaps some networks would work?? Twin beds were slighly uncomfortable according to our 11 y.o; you could feel and hear the springs. I had no issues with the main bed and no complaints from 5 y.o about her single bed (but not a bunk bed as advertised?). Oven isnt the greatest taking much, much longer to cook food than usual. Owner was super quick to sort out any issues we had (blown bulbs, no H.D.M.I lead). I would definitely recommend this house and would holiday here again. p.s If you holiday here go to StoneCrab restaurant in Saundersfoot...omg!!

- Mark, August 2020
Elizabeth July 2020

“We got back last night from a fabulous holiday.”

We loved the lay out of the house. Very spacious, easy to keep clean and tidy. My 4yrs old doesn’t normally like not been in the same room as us but the way the house is laid out she felt confident to make herself at home. All the beds were really comfortable, we took our own pillows because of the current situation but the pillows at the house felt really good quality. We were left tea, coffee and sugar sachets and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge which was a really nice touch. The only thing we would of liked is to of been left with some hand soap and maybe more cutlery as there was only a set of 4 but the house sleeps 5 and we were missing a couple of kitchen utensils like a spatula and a pair of tongs. Again due to the current situation we weren’t left towels which was fine with us and we were told ornaments had been removed, the house due to the art work on the walls and soft furnishings didn’t at all feel bare and we preferred not having ornaments with 2 little children. The back garden was perfect for us, and was real little sun trap. The beach was just a ten minute walk away, we really enjoyed the walk but it wouldn’t be for everyone as the return is up a extremely steep hill. We loved the location of the house, really quiet and on a cul de sac so it was perfect for my daughter to ride on her bike. We were welcomed by very friendly neighbours too. Thank you for making our first family holiday as 4 really easy and enjoyable and also felt very safe at this uncertain time

- Elizabeth, July 2020
Clive September 2019

“The house was well prepared and clean apart from some saucepans and wine glasses that needed re washing.”

Central heating worked well which was needed as we had bad weather and overall the house was a comfortable place to stay. Feedback in the owners guest book was largely undeserved. One small thing we had a four hour journey to get to the house so some milk in the fridge and means for making for tea and coffee would have been appreciated. This is provided in all other house we have hired. The owner has tried hard to decorate the house cheerfully and was helpful on the phone when arranging to pick up the key.

Jennifer April 2019

“We really enjoyed the house and the town.”

The house was very comfortable and clean, with all the necessities and generous on little things, like dishwasher tablets and loo roll. The town is much smaller and therefore more manageable than Tenby, but has everything you need, with multiple pubs and restaurants and shops. For us it was a full 20 minute walk down a steep hill to the town, but it is fine if everyone in your group is mobile, and equally there is parking in the town as an alternative. Lots of things to do in the nearby area -- my boys were thoroughly entertained and we enjoyed our holiday!

- Jennifer, April 2019
Bernard September 2018

“Just spent a great 5 days at Sandy Bay House.”

Everything was thought about to make a really comfortable stay. We would RECCOMEND it to anyone. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you might need for a PERFECT HOME to HOME holiday. BERNARD and SHIRLEY

Susy June 2018

“We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bay House in June, 2018.”

A good central location, in a nice quiet cul-de-sac and only a short distance from the lovely seaside town of Saundersfoot. The house was neat and tidy, with lovely décor throughout. Slight issue with the shower in the en-suite, not being able to regulate the temperature that well. However, we enjoyed our stay so much at Sandy Bay House, that we have booked to come back again later this year.
