Summer House Reviews

Heather
Beautiful property on one level. It was equipped with everything you wanted. A great location to visit Tenby, Saundersfoot. The owner Vernon and his wife Linda were very friendly and welcoming. Couldnt ask for more. We loved it so much, were coming back for 2 weeks at Christmas.
We had a lovely stay in the Summerhouse. Beautiful place for me and my husband and dogs. The prosecco and biscuits were a lovely surprise and both went down very well. So clean and well maintained . The garden was secure so great for the dogs as one can be an escape artist. All in all a wonderful place to stay would totally recommend.
Lovely stay very stylish owners were very helpful
Andrea
We had a fantastic stay at the Cottage. It was cosy, clean and the enclosed garden was great for our dog. The beautiful garden furniture was a real treat. And the welcome bubbly and biscuits were really appreciated. Vernon and Linda were very friendly and welcoming and gave us great tips about where to visit. We never quite got the hang of the heating the hot tub but it didnt detract from our stay.
Quiet and peaceful lovely clean property great interaction with owners highly recommend
Absolutely lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable. The decor is very classy too! The hot tub was amazing, and the garden area is beautiful and very private. We would definitely stay there again, we love Tenby, the beaches are fantastic, and the people so friendly.
The property is much closer to Lydstep than Penally and is over 3 miles from Tenby. Access to Tenby easy enough by car but walking not so much so. Parking is difficult in a SUV type vehicle as access very tight. On the positive side the garden is lovely with the outdoorpatio area very comfortable.
We had a wonderful time at The Summerhouse. It had everything we needed. The owners were so kind and helpful. We definitely want to return again in the future.
Communication with the Vernon & Linda, the owners, was really very helpful, receiving good directions before our stay and during. They also recommended attractions, restaurants and and place to eat. The Chinese was lovely but I would recommend to order before going to pick it up as it was very busy with a 45 minute wait.. The house was well situated and peaceful and had lots of crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment.
Absolutely lovely property in a great location. Very comfortable, we would like to visit in summer to to make full use of the bifold doors and garden.
Great super modern styling, with foldback doors opening to a lovely patio space and hot tub. Took a bit of time learning how to prep the hot tub 3 hrs, adding a log every 30mins and had a few issues with tv only had streaming channels eg iplayer to start with, but after small remote switches on sky freesat, normal channels worked after owners contacted sky Likewise, had a local area prob with internet, which owners responded to help with straight away! And apart from a small niggle about lack of bowls and cutlery for 4people wouldnt use dishwasher after every meal! this really is a perfect little accommodation!
Catherine
A fantastic summer house in a lovely, quiet location. Close enough to Tenby and local beaches etc. Very relaxing and dog friendly, with a secure garden.
Hannah
We enjoyed our stay at the Summer House. Owners were lovely, and helpful gave us recommendations of where to go and what beaches are worth a visit! Lovely areas nearbyby, but would need to drive to get to these. All in all, a good stay and we will definitely look at staying again
Edward
Situated well for the lovely beaches of Penally, Freshwater East and Broad Haven. Good quiet position with dog friendly garden. No way of escape.
A lovely cottage and very peaceful
Justin
It was secure for the dogs and was close to all the things you need when on ... It was secure for the dogs and was close to all the things you need when on holidays but far enough away to have a quiet and peaceful stay
Amanda
Fabulous accommodation. Very comfortable. Well equipped. Only downside for us staying with 2 collies the garden is not secure. This meant we couldnt let the dogs out unsupervised. Also meant we had a couple of visits from the owners dog, which didnt go down well with our 2. A big part of our holiday experience is being able to let the dogs out to play, which unfortunately we couldnt do as they could very easily escape the garden area.
Very secluded holiday home in the grounds of the owners property. The house was well equipped although was smaller than the photos looked. The house needed a very good clean and dusting as there was numerous cobwebs with spiders and under the beds and sofa was very dirty. The hot tub was not that easy to operate and we had to light it up using wood supplied which was only sufficient for a couple of days usage. We had an issue with flies in the house which the owners resolved very quickly by installing pest control devices. If you have a dog there is limited places within walking distance to take them, but Tenby town centre is a short drive away which we enjoyed going too and there is some lovely beaches nearby. The owners were very helpful with any of our queries and recommended places to visit.
A lovely property which we enjoyed staying in and the owner who lived in the grounds was extremely responsive and helpful. It felt smaller than the photos and was a little tight for us with two older children and lots of beach kit, but still comfortable. Could do with some more hanging space eg pegs outside for wetsuits, coat rack inside. Also something like a storage bench outside to save bringing sandy shoes into the property. But overall, it had everything we needed and we really enjoyed sitting outside for mealsrelaxing in the pretty garden. Good location only a short drive to Tenby and some fab beaches.
Wonderful little Summer House,secluded in it's own garden. ..very well equipped but a microwave would be useful.Neighbours next door are the owners Vernon and Linda, not intrusive but very kind and helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, where to go, best beaches etc.We had a great holiday, thank you.
Gordon
Fantastic little gem. We had a lovely week in this superb cottage. Peaceful, quiet and comfortable. We would highly recommend. Gordon & Carole
Leanne
Where do I start with Summer House? This property is amazing! Very modern with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Its in a great location with plenty to do in the surrounding areas, a week wasnt long enough to do everything we wanted to. The property itself was super clean and fresh. I particularly liked the little touches such as cushions and throws on the sofa and night lights in the kitchen. There are some luxurious touches such as the dressing table and beautiful stool in the bedroom, plush bedding and the light up mirror in the bathroom. Super handy to have a washing machine, especially with us having our first holiday away with a newborn, it really did make our stay easier! The garden was lovely with a nice seating area and BBQ and of course, the hot tub. I just want to say how lovely and welcoming the owners Vernon and Linda are. We were greeted by a bottle of Prosecco and biscuits which was wonderful after a long journey. They were really helpful when we had any questions and also sent us a list of helpful information such as places to eat and visit. We really couldnt have asked for more so thank you! Our week was brilliant and we were sad to be leaving! I would definitely recommend this property.
Lovely holiday home in great location. Brief walk to beach through holiday park and would recommend parking at train station for lovely walk into Tenby. Lovely traditional Sunday lunch in village pub great value.
We had a fantastic stay at summer house! Lovely modern, fresh accommodation with great attention to detail. Enclosed garden suitable for dog to potter about and outdoor furniture and hot tub too! Quiet but secure location with parking which was important. Good location with easy drive to attractions like Heatherton aswell as Tenby, Saundersfoot and Amroth. Prosecco and sweet treats provided by hosts was a pleasant touch too! Would recommend to family and friends who want to visit this area. 1010 thank you!
Esther
Overall a delightful stay but the property hadn't been dusted for a very long time under the bed was really bad. Having a mop at the property would be really useful so the guests could mop up the dogs muddy paw marks..
Could not have been better. Well equipped, very cosy and quality of WifiBroadband was exceptional which was of paramount importance unfortunately as I had to work from there for 2 of the 4 days. Wanted to bring the feather duvet home with me, but couldn't fit it in the car! The owners are very discreet but I knew that Vernon and his family would be on hand if any issues arose, which they didn't. Willi be recommending to ohers and would love to stay there again.
Steffan
The place was stunning and on arrival immaculate. Will definitely be recommending the place to family and friends.
Caroline
We stayed for four nights at the Summer House in September and cannot recommend it highly enough. We received clear communications and helpful advice on places to visit throughout our stay from the property owners. The facilities in the property were very clean and of high quality with plenty of space and everything you could need. It is located in a beautiful quiet but very safe area with a farm shop and Penally beach close by. There was everything we needed and more to make our stay perfect with so much extra attention to detail such as the welcome tray and even biscuits for our pooch. Thank you for an amazing stay, we will be back!
Joshua
Great summer house with fantastic expensive looking facilities. A nice touch to a much needed holiday! The Mrs and I have recommended it to our family and friends.
Natalie
Summer House completely exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect to explore the Pembrokeshire coast. The accommodation was a great layout and very high quality. It is the most well equipped holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and the welcome pack was such a lovely surprise. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and made full use of the luxurious garden furniture and BBQ in the privacy of the garden. The owners were amazing hosts, they gave us some great restaurant recommendations and were there if we needed them but also left us to enjoy our holiday. We would definitely book the Summer House again.
WOW, where do I start, we have stayed at many cottages and hotels and Summer House exceeded our expectations. Firstly all the communication before we arrived was perfect, not to much some can over load you all the directions were very clear for this hidden gem. On arrival we were welcomed by the most warm hearted hosts who greeted us with more luxuries that we could of asked for. Knowing that we had just got married the day before and should of been jetting to the Maldives they made our stay extra special. We entered the accommodation through a beautiful gate decorated with fresh flowers to start the experience, followed by the welcome of a stunning enclosed garden, to have our breaths taken away when the bifold doors opened to the most stunning lounge. We were then treated to flowers as a wedding gift along with champagne and chocolates we couldnt of been more thought of the rest of the accommodation was as expected stunning, all the little details as a woman you would dream of were in front of me, fresh flowers in the bedroom, beautiful candles to burn and little local treats scattered in the fridge and cupboards, not forgetting the freshly baked cakes! Our week was perfect, the bed was as comfortable as ours at home and the bedding was of the highest quality as were the towels. The outside area was comfortable to sit in the morning for breakfast as much as it was in the evening, the added bonus of an amazing hot tub perfected our stay. I couldnt fault any part of our stay other than it was over way to quickly for us. The location was ideal to get to the beach, restaurants and a fun adventure area for all ages crazy golf, archery, shooting etc we have already talked about this accommodation way to much to our friends and are worried that we wont get booked in again due to it being so amazing, one friend said it looked like a Big Brother house and yes she was right. So thank you to the amazing hosts Vernon and Linda for an amazing start to our married life, one we will remember and it was so special to be your first guests especially on our honeymoon.
