    “Briar Cottage is in a lived location- very Beatrix Potter.”

    It as an old cottage that has been updated. Finding it wasn’t that difficult and it’s very quiet and no street lighting to ruin the night sky. Our biggest issue was the poor cleaning of the property. We noticed that this has been an issue in the past. The beds are comfortable and linen etc very clean. An issue with a stain on the duvet wasn’t discovered until we we’re removing the bed linen as requested in the house book. The headroom in the bedrooms is very limited. This was a lit more ...

    It as an old cottage that has been updated. Finding it wasn’t that difficult and it’s very quiet and no street lighting to ruin the night sky. Our biggest issue was the poor cleaning of the property. We noticed that this has been an issue in the past. The beds are comfortable and linen etc very clean. An issue with a stain on the duvet wasn’t discovered until we we’re removing the bed linen as requested in the house book. The headroom in the bedrooms is very limited. This was a lit more limited than I thought as in their photos. I whacked my head on the beam whilst going to the loo in the dark. If you’re tall you will be bending over all the time up there. It also means that the ability to use bedroom space is very limited and essentially it’s usable in the central areas only. Maintenance of the property is poor. Black gaffa tape holding the bathroom door lock place and paintwork not finished on a door frame are not major jobs- just didn’t care it seems? The furniture is something from a boot sale - charity shops would not sell it. The exception being the sofa and armchair. It gives the feeling that it’s been furnished on the cheap, or that the owner takes it for granted that it’s “cottagy” - well it’s not. Log fire was lovely and cosy. The tv is too small for the size of room. Those needing subtitles won’t see writing we understand that you don’t go to a cottage to watch tv, but when it rains and night time it’s good to be able to watch a movie in comfort. There was no ironing board or dishwasher which we thought very odd. All told the potential here is amazing, but for some reason the owners choose not to update. Outside, accessibility isn’t too bad. One of us uses a walking stick. The rear wasn’t accessible but the front was no problem and got the sunshine. For dogs, a gate on the rear garden would make it more secure for dogs. Walking paths and bridle paths abound with high handles on gates for riders. The ferry inn was a great find and there’s plenty of places to eat around and about. We’ve stayed in plenty of places all around the uk and abroad. We try to be fair in our reviews and to highlight those owners who really try to ensure the cleanliness and maintenance is of a good standard. It’s only fair to them to make a comment when something is below standard. But, it’s all fixable within a very short period of time- If you don’t mind the headroom it’s a brilliant location to discover the area and very quiet when you return.

As the evening comes to a close, whisk away upstairs and choose from two well-presented bedrooms under the roof eaves, including a double and a twin, serviced by a ground-floor bathroom with bath and shower over.

Head out the door and explore the local town; grab a pint at the Ferryman Inn or sit down for a meal at The Alumchine Restaurant if you fancy taking a break from cooking one evening.

The town is also home to a convenience store where you can stock up on the essentials, or for further amenities, head to nearby Milford Haven, Haverfordwest town, or Pembroke, where you can visit Pembroke Castle, Monkton Old Hall or go hiking in Holyland Wood.
