The Elms Reviews

The Elms was clean and tidy, with comfortable beds, great games room and we couldn't have wished for a better holiday. Fab!
Fantastic place to stay and explore. As expected, everything available to make our holiday comfortable
What a fantastic place to stay and have a relaxing holiday. Everything was there we needed, the game's room was enjoyed by us both and the hot tub was perfect. There was thoughtful touches I.e the robes,the goodies left on the table, plus the little chocolate left on the towels.
Excellent can't fault it at all. Everything we could want and to a high standard thank you.
Philip
Absolutely the best hot tub holiday we have ever had the games room was our home ... Absolutely the best hot tub holiday we have ever had the games room was our home for the week amazing gardens ,amazing home, your welcome pack was appreciated thankyou we all had an amazing time ,if we needed to know anything Julian was there for us thankyou ,we will be coming back and will be recommend your place to all our friends and family
Just perfect! A weatherproof holiday base. No matter what the weather. Hot tub and games room keeps everyone happy. Fully equipped and ideal for exploring a stunning part of the UK. Made very welcome ar the community pub. Owners website really helpful and informative.
What an amazing little luxury cottage with everything you could need, and a lovely little welcome pack on arrival. The cottage its self was lovely and clean and so welcoming. We came away for a chilled week and thats what we got, the hot tub and games room was the icing on the cake and thoroughly enjoyed everyday. The only thing I would like differently would be a bigger tv in the lounge and faster broadband but thats only a preference to me. Will definitely be returning as this was everything we wanted if not more. We only saw Julian very briefly but contact was amazing and if we needed anything they were only a phone callmessage away. If you want some piece and quiet and a proper relaxing holiday book now!
joanne
A beautiful home and settings. The little extras are a lovely touch and the host Helen and Julian are very accommodating. Nothing is any trouble for them. The property is clean and well laid out. A great base to visit local attractions and the beach near by 4 minutes in the caris a must see. The property has a games room and the spa is very well maintained. We would highly recommend this property to all
George
Beautiful ,well maintained, holiday home. With great attention to detail by the host. The grounds and garden are the perfect quite place to relax, summer house, large hot tub, games room with full size pool table, dart board, & ping pong. Even though we chose it as a perfect location to spend days away visiting sites & attractions in Pembrokeshire, we all agreed t spend a full day at the house chilling out during the heat wave. Perfect location for trips to Tenby 25min, or walks to the beach 35 min. Also Milford haven has some amazing restaurants along the new harbourfront , well worth a trip. Everything was spotless, new & well maintained, we were very happy.
Jeanette
We all enjoyed our stay at The Elms holiday home located in a village with easy access to many great places. The Elms more than met our expectations. It was comfortable, clean, spacious with the added bonus of the hot tub and games room. It was a wonderful place to come back to in the evening after exploring west wales. The owners, Julian and Helen, were friendly and happy to offer recommendations for where to eat and places to visit. We had Sunday lunch at Cocos and all agreed it was the best Sunday lunch wed had. Places we enjoyed visiting were St Davids, Little Haven, Whitesands Beach, Marloes Beach, Tenby. We stopped off at Narberth on the way home, which I would highly recommend. P.S. the eggs in the welcome basket were delicious. We did mean to ask where we could purchase more, but didnt get round to it.
William
A brilliant place to stay. ..we couldn't fault it in anyway.
Absolutely amazing cottage with great space, garden and hot tub. Need your own transport to get shopping
Patricia
We had a great weekend loved the elms would highly recommend clean comfortable ... We had a great weekend loved the elms would highly recommend clean comfortable everything we needed was available the hot tub was amazing and the games room a real plus lovely and relaxing
The Elms was an amazing base for our holiday that had ample to offer in terms of facilities and space. Our holiday got off to a slightly rocky start with storm Eunice hitting on the day we were supposed to be traveling, making that impossible, an also resulting in a loss of power to the entire village where The Elms is located for around 36hrs! However, the hosts kept us notified of the concern with the power, and even provided supplies to help us be more comfortable on our arrival. Despite this, we were able to keep ourselves and the kids entertained with the activities on offer in the games room. And once power had been restored, were able to enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub. In terms of location, there are plenty of places to visit within a reasonable car journey, and some nice walks were enjoyed in the local area. The nearby town of Milford Haven had a good selection of restaurants which we enjoyed visiting, and are a short taxi ride if you wish to leave the car behind. I would highly recommend The Elms to anyone looking for a well equipped property which has plenty to offer.
Phillip
This is a beautiful home, tastefully decorated and furnished with ample offroad parking for 2 cars with a Jacuzzi, sun and games room. It has 1.5 baths and 3 bedrooms. My only criticism is with the bathrooms there was no hand soap available anywhere and no place to place toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo or soap or anything that the ladies in my family needed to use in the bath or shower. Having arrived late in the evening after a 6 hour drive we were unable to wash our with soap and had to use the washing up liquid which the ladies complained of.
Catherine
Had a lovely chilled week at this property. Lovely welcome pack, very informative and had lots of leaflets for attractions around Pembroke. Bed was super comfy. Hot tub was lovely to come back to in the evening after days exploring. Didnt use the games room but this was really well equipped. Would love to go back in the summer. Would recommend
Victoria
Beautiful place to stay, we were extremely comfortable and absolutely loved the hot tub and games room. What a treat. Great location.....we will definitely book to stay here again.
Lovely home from home, was so relaxing and enjoyable with the game's room and hot tub, something for everyone and didn't leave the house, would definitely go back.
Louise
We loved our stay at The Elms. It had everything we needed which really made it a comfortable stay with lots of thoughtful touches. The hot tub was a bonus after a day out walking and everyone loved the games room. We would highly recommend this property.
Alison
I contacted Sykes to request the bedroom to be made up as a twin 1 week before our holiday but you failed to inform the owners. Luckily the owner contacted me themselves.
Cheryl
The Elms owned by lovely people, accommodation as described with extra touch of treats on arrival, to save immediate trip to shops. Visited everywhere, travelling from St David's to Tenby, great beaches along the way, with two X 5 mile treks on Caldey Island and Stackpole Quay, bathing in hot tub on return. Would have rated as 5 star but was unavailable for some reason, perhaps missing a swimming pool!
Sharon
The Elms far exceeded our expectations! The games room and hot tub were the icing on the cake. Beautiful accommodation and owners could not do enough to make our holiday perfect. Welcome basket on arrival was a nice touch. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely week staying at The Elms. Everything we needed was provided. The bungalow was plenty big enough for four adults and two little children. The children loved to play in the garden. The adults loved the hot tub, especially my daughter and her husband. We played pool every night as well, which got us away from the TV for a change. Also it was good that there were two toilets. We would recommend this property.
The Elms is extremely well appointed everything you need is provided. The home is immaculate, comfortable and homely. The garden is beautiful and the hot tub is amazing and a wonderful treat after a busy day. There is a games room which is not pictured but is a great addition. Location is great for exploring Pembrokeshire. Plenty of parking for 2 cars possibly 3. Would highly recommend.
The Elms was a fantastic cottage extremely comfortable, clean and facilities amazing. From the very moment we arrived we were blown away from the welcome basket with everything we would need for our 1st morning to the games room and hottub we had such a relaxing few days away which was just what was needed. The Elms was in a little quiet village but a great place to explorer the area with lots of recommendations from the owners. The owners Helen and Julien very nice and communicated well with us and responded almost immediately to any queries we texted to them. All in all a 10 out of 10 stay and we can't wait to book the Elms again
Julienne and Helen are super hosts. Communication throughout was excellent. The Elms is comfortable, homely and spotlessly clean. A welcome pack of basic essentials and treats was much appreciated. We all enjoyed the hot tub, and the provision of towelling robes was much appreciated. Helen was able to recommend a number of restaurants which offered take away meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning sometime in the future.
We had a lovely stay at the Elms, the cottage was very well equipped for the four of us and was spotless on arrival. Helen and Julian had definitely gone the extra mile to ensure our stay was more than comfortable and were very accommodating and friendly throughout our stay, also leaving us a lovely welcome basket of essentials. The facilities are great and we enjoyed the hot tub which was checked every morning and the towelling robes provided were a nice touch. We played pool every evening and also had a read in the cosy summerhouse. The location is great to access many of Pembrokeshires lovely beaches and attractions with Sandy Haven a short walk away as well.
Absolutely superb stay at the Elms, entirely surpassed our expectations. Lovely garden, games room, hot tub all brilliant for staying local if the weather is a bit rainy. Well situated in Pembrokeshire for exploring, car required but there are some lovely local walks too. Milford Haven is a couple minutes drive and full of great eateries. House itself is completely equipt, very comfortable and stylishly finished. We appreciated the goodies on arrival and felt very reassured to see the whole house was spotless and gleaming. Thank you for a wonderful stay we hope to be back soon!
As we are sociable people it is a shame the pub in walking distance was closed but covid19 did that. Lovely homely place to stay. Would stay there again.
The cottage was beautiful, immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack of food items and card were particularly lovely to see on arrival and we'd recommend to anyone. The location was also ideal, couldn't have found better any better accommodation and we had a lovely break much needed after a bad year!
Cheryl
This was definitely a home from home. The owners had thought about everything you mightwould need. A lovely location and just perfect for a family holiday. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and games room and on days we didnt want to go out, we enjoyed these as a family
Excellent property in a good location
This was our 2nd visit to The Elms. Beautiful property with everything and more thought of. From the welcome goodies, card and flowers to the bathrobes in every bedroom. We had to leave early unfortunately due to the Covid19 situation which was very disappointing but for the best. As soon as things get back to normal we hope to book again. Repeat customersbookings speak volumes about the quality of a cottage!
Kirsty
The best holiday accommodation weve ever stayed in. theyve thought of everything and a lot more besides. Words cant describe just how fantastic this place is. Really, really pleased with this amazing cottage.
Alison
The Elms is a beautiful bungalow in a perfect location. The gardens are just beautiful and the bungalow itself is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Very well maintained. The hot tub is great and you can even have a game of pool or darts in the garage. The owners even put a heater in the garage for us.I would highly recommend staying there for a short or long break.
This was such a comfortable holiday let. Beautifully presented, super garden and more than enough facilities to suit our family. It was really clean and tidy and Helen, the owner was brilliant at communicating with us. There are plenty of restaurants within a short distance and lots to see and do. Weve not finished exploring the area and are looking forward to a return visit. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for al those extra special little touches Wholeheartedly recommend.
Shelley
A beautifully presented holiday home. We really enjoyed our stay.
Rachel
Amazing accommodation. Everything is thought of and provided for, a brilliant holiday home from home. As a family we had a fantastic time enjoying everything the house had to offer. Children loved the games room, hot tub and reading in the summer house. Great location for exploring Pembrokeshire and enjoying plenty of family. Will definitely go back again !!!
V helpful hosts
Spencer
We stayed at the Elms for a week in June and Wow, what a beautiful and relaxing way to spend a week unwinding from normal working life. Communication from the owners was absolutely first class which is always welcomed. The Elms is a beautiful bungalow and well equipped with everything we needed and more. I must mention the garden is absolutely beautiful, we really enjoyed the high quality hot tub it's a top of the range hot tub and looking around the garden and birds that visited... Sooooo relaxing. The hot tub is located with maximum privacy and right next to the garage games room. The games room was a really nice feature, we spent a fair few hours in there.. Sandy Haven beach is about 1 mile away and at low tide it's absolutely beautiful, recommended. Overall this is an excellent place to book as a couple or as a family or friends accommodation. We would definitely return at some point and would like to thank Helen and Julian for sharing their bungalow for others to enjoy.
