We had a fantastic time staying at Old Toms Cottage and explored the local area and attractions. Dragons Palace is indeed a very good Chinese and would recommend and Bramley’s Tea Room is great for a Sunday lunch – very welcoming indeed. First visit to Wales and will certainly be back as everything was so enjoyable - people food and attractions. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Jo. Graeme and Roslyn ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We have had a lovely, relaxing break at Old Toms Cottage. A great central location to explore the surrounding area. Pembroke Castle is a great day out and all the beaches are lovely. We loved the fact that two pubs in the village, both serving food, meant we could relax with a drink at the end of a busy day and no=one had to miss out as it was a 5 minute walk into the village (remember to take a torch!). Both pubs are nice and serve good food. The Sun was out favourite and the staff were so friendly and helpful and are very welcoming (you can take dogs into both). Pool great and cottage really homely. First visit to the area and were here for one week, but would definitely come back and would recommend to friends and family. Hope to return soon. Grace, Jim, Val and Lee ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Had a wonderful sunny week! Cottage facilities were fab and we spent nearly every day on a beach. Pembroke Castle is worth a visit (take a picnic). Insect repellent is needed on Caldey Island although worth a visit. Site facilities are fantastic. Sarah, Chris and Laura ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ What a start to the week – gorgeous blue sky and a stunning day of Tenby’s South beach. Lovely tidy little cottage in which the girls enjoy playing in the Captain beds on rainy days. The pool was used most days by us all. We love Pembrokeshire. The Hamiltons ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Great convenient cottage – thank you. All very well stocked with facilities. Pool fantastic for early morning swims. Try the castle at Manorbier for how pubs used to be. Superb homemade and vegetarian food. Manorbier has everything castles to a remarkable church. Phil and Liz ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Had a great time at Old Toms cottage. The cottage itself was great – very comfortable and with everything that we needed. The pool was fantastic, especially for the kids. The village of St Florence was lovely and both of the pubs were very welcoming, especially the Sun which was a proper country pub and also allows dogs inside. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for a lovely week. Phil, Jo, Jamie and Declan ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ What a fantastic week at Old Toms cottage. Weather has been a bit hit and miss but it hasn’t affected our stay at all due to the fantastic location of this cottage. Especially for families with young children. Cottage is very homely and comfortable for everyone. We have explored a number of the local attractions which seem to cater for all weather conditions. Our boys enjoyed the swimming pool and we found early evening swims helped the toddler to sleep better too! Great Sunday lunches at Bramley’s Tea Rooms and great days out to the beach. Cottage is very well equipped and the presence of a washer-dryer meant we could pack lighter. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again. Lyndsey, Hannah, Alfie and Stanley ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We had a lovely holiday here in Old Toms cottage. All of the beaches here are fantastic in one way or another. The Parsonage Inn served us some food to remember and very family friendly. The pool was used every day and it was very warm. We would come back. Ian, Ella and Bryn ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ What an amazing 40th birthday weekend. Thank you for sharing Old Toms with us. The cottage was so comfortable and homely we wanted to stay forever. Ceri and Gareth ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We have had a lovely stay here in Old Toms cottage and have really appreciated the home from home feel. The weather hasn’t been too bad considering the time of year. We visited Folly Farm which is great on an indifferent weather day. Oakwood was good fun, although I would recommend taking a packed lunch as the food on offer is pretty appalling and very expensive. Pickton Castle was lovely with a fantastic café adjoining serving Mediterranean meals and healthy options. Tenby has a beautiful beach and a sweet quaint town. Our boys have thoroughly enjoyed having the swimming pool on site and all in all a very welcoming, cosy, clean and tidy cottage. Would highly recommend. Graham, Becky, William, Thomas and Charlie ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We have found the accommodation to be excellent. Everything we needed was supplied. We have had a wonderful week here. Both pubs have good food and you can take the dogs into The Sun to eat. Karen, Steve and Billy ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We’ve had a great time. The kids have really enjoyed the pool. Old Toms cottage is well positioned for the local areas. St Florence is a beautiful village where the Parsonage serves beautiful food. Freshwater West is by far the best beach, dog friendly and easy to get to. Cottage is well stocked. Preston and Everall ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We have had a super holiday at Old Toms cottage. Facilities are excellent and staff very helpful. Would highly recommend a visit to Manor House Wildlife Park. The Reed Family ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Had a fab stay here at the cottage and complex all great. It was a shame about some of the weather. Eaten at some really nice places and the fish and chips were fantastic at the Parsonage Inn. We visited Tenby, Saundersfoot and Laugharne Castle – all great. Overall a great holiday. Bev, Emma, Olivia, Ken and Glenda ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Lovely cottage in a glorious area with good facilities. We’d recommend Parsonage Pub – great food and drinks and just a stroll down the road. Ideal location for exploring Pembrokeshire. Evans ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely Cottage. We have had a fab week, especially the children who have made some special friends. It has been a bonus that the weather has been so hot. People on site have been friendly and helpful. Great to have use of the pool too. We will be back and we will tell our friends and family. Egan ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We had a lovely time. Cottage was very well equiped. Kids loved the table tennis and pool and just playing outside on the grass. Folly Farm, Dinosaur Experience and Chocolate Factory all worth a visit. Would definitely recommend to friends. Dysons ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We all had a delightful week. Tenby South beach is highly recommended on a sunny day. Easy parking and a playground nearby. The Dinosaur Experience was a godsend on a wet day. But the Pemberton Chocolate Farm is not to be missed when raining, as is Folly Farm. However, the best part of our stay was being able to swim in the heated pool on site. We did use the drier on rainy days. We found the cottage lovely and clean. We had a great time. A lovely place for a family to spend a week - rain, hail or shine. Thank you and god bless all who stay here. Thomas and Hughes family (Australia) ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Comfortable, clean cottage. Well equiped. Fantastic weather and lovely beaches. Boys loved the swimming pool too. Butchers ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Lovely Cottage and great location for exploring. Having brilliant sunshine for our two week stay helped too. Made good use of the swimming pool with the kids. Will recommend to friends and family. Tom, Roo, Izzy and Will ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Everything was absolutely perfect. Spotlessly clean. All the equipment we needed. Perfect for children (shame the weather wasn't a bit nicer). We wil definitely be recommending Old Tom's Cottage to all our friends and family. Les, Nicky, Ella and Minnie ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ A very relaxing weekend had by all of us. We visited Saundersfoot, Tenby and Heatherton. The cottage was home from home, spotless, very modern and family friendly. Thanks for a fantastic break. Thomas' ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ It was an amazing week of relaxing and walking the countryside and coast. The cottage was perfect with everything we needed inside. The weather was sunny and beautiful all week. Will be back very soon. Gary, Stacey and puppy Juno ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Once again a lovely stay in Tenby. The cottage was immaculate again. The kitchen is a nice new addition. We have been very lucky and have had some really sunny weather. Thanks again for providing us with such lovely facitilies. Old Court Barn ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We've had a lovely week. Been able to dodge showers. Cottage was very cosy and we felt at home very quickly. The cot was only just big enough for our two year old, otherwise, everything was as we would have wanted it. Tenby South beach was great and Barrafundel was beautiful - well worth the trek. Pembroke Castle was really interesting and very good value. The kids loved the Dinosaur Park. The Chocolate Factory was perfect for a very wet day and Heatherton was great for the older kids. Nice meal at the Carew Inn. Best to book as it was full when we went. Gardners ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ We have had a really, really lovely holiday. The Cottage was perfectly placed to visit Pembrokeshire. We never seemed too far away from anywhere. The Cottage has thoughtful little touches like black out blinds, cleaning things, plenty of crockery etc.. Places worth a mention, Folly Farm, Narbeth Creative Cafe, Dinosaur Park, Solva, Bluestone. Beaches - Little Haven has great rockpools. Whitesands and Freshwater West lovely. Tenby is great if you have lots to carry as you can park close by. Saundersfoot good - clean and carparking next to beach. Thanks for a fab holiday in a lovely clean house. Limberts ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Lovely cottage. Felt relaxed and comfortable straight away. Lovely beach at Tenby with sunbeds, parasols and facilities. Beautiful beaches at Newgale. No facilities expect WC's, but stunning location. Fantastic food at the Carew Inn. St Davids Bay and Cathedral worth a visit. Fishguard not really worth a visit. Photographers note - Skomer Island trip excellent for birds and wildlife. Dave and Marion ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Love the new kitchen. Great to have a freezer. Had a great time as we always do, even though the weather was not so nice this time. Hope to be back again next year. Only negative was lack of hot water and pressure in the shower. [Owners comment - thank you for your comments, we have since completely re-done the bathroom, which includes an electric power shower!!). Hattons ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Lovely, clean and Comfortable Cottage. Recommend Haverfordwest and St Davids - both interesting places to visit. Too many beautiful beaches to mention them all but Saundersfoot is the best for children. Folly Farm is an essential visit if you have children. Lots to see and do for good or bad weather. Paddock Inn, not cheap but good food. Hope to come back again. Terrys ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Fantastic weather and beautiful coastline. Thank you for letting us stay here with Birt 'the dog' in a lovely Cottage. All of us looking forward to staying again. Michelle, Andrew and Birt ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Lovely Cottage in great setting. We all loved the pool, table tennis and tennis.

The Carew Inn is a great pub and serves delicious pub grub. Great facilities, great few days and hope to return. Will definitely recommend. Guilds ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Great location to see and do loads. We thought Folly Farm and Dinosaur Experience were good. Chocolate Factory in Pemberton worth a visit if wet. Beaches were lovely. We managed Tenby and Manorbier. Old Tom's Cottage exceeded our expectations and the additional facilities just made it brilliant. Will definitely be back. McCormick ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Great thanks, to Byron and Sam Cole for not only letting a property but for making us feel like its our own home. Its filled with warmth and class - a rarity in self catering accommodation. De Waal ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Spotless and homely cottage with many thoughtful extras. Well deserving of 5* rating. We liked Heatherton for kids, the Marina in Saundersfoot for fish and chips, Narbeth for concentration of smart shops and galleries ( a bit of Surrey in Pembrokeshire!), No. 25 Café in Tenby and Amroth for rock pools. Facilities at Ivy Tower of course! – Dunn ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Our second visit – nothing changed, still a lovely place to relax in – lovely cottage. Great area, in fact PERFECT!! We’ll be back. Big thank you to the cleaners. The cottage was spotless. – Magil ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Fantastic Cottage. Facilities were excellent and the pool was a hit! Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire lovely. Make sure you do the St David’s walk from the Welcome Pack on a nice day. It’s a real highlight. Folly Farm great for the kids. Barafundle close to Stackpole is beautiful. Cilgerion Castle near Cardigan and Pembroke Castle are worth a visit. Thanks for a wonderful two weeks. Lastly, a good Greek restaurant is Mykosos in the Castle wall at Tenby – good value. Will pass details of Old Tom’s Cottage to friends – sorry to go on! – Trott ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ What a beautiful cottage. Spotless and very homely. We have had fantastic weather and 5 days of sunshine, never dropping below 26oC. The coastal walks are fantastic. St David’s is definitely worth a trip and the local Cawl (lamb stew) was welcome nourishment for hungry walkers. Thank you. We hope to be back and will definitely recommend it! – Hutchings-Rangers ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Cottage is as lovely as we remember. Extra storage in the kitchen was a great help and the new decoration looked beautiful. The walk from Broadhaven south, around Stackpole was super. We had a picnic on Barafundle Beach.

Facilities excellent. Very relaxing. All looking forward to coming back soon – Williams ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ First family holiday.

We will definitely be back next year! – Dunnings ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Absolutely perfect! Thank you! We had no idea what to expect and everything surpassed our expectations. Cottage was super. Everything we needed for our four small children.

Thanks you so much we’d like to spend a week next time – Munro ------------------------------ o O o ------------------------------ Thank you Byron and Sam Cole for not only letting a property but making us feel likes its our home.
