  • "Really lovely cottage and base for touring the Pembrokeshire area."

    Main living area was larger than it looks in photo and bedrooms very comfy just mind your head on the beams. Loved that it had an room to dry of wet boots and clothes. Very dog friendly too. Any little thing was no instructions about the rubbish and if needed to sort out the recycling so we took those bits home with us.

    Thank you for your kind review & I’m glad you had an enjoyable stay at Briar. I’ll make sure that there are clear instructions at the cottage for future guests re: recycling and refuse. Property Owner

  • "Very welcoming, cottage-style accommodation having mature leafy gardens set in various levels, surrounded by fields and forests, gloriously ten minutes by car from Neyland’s picturesque waterside, smaller shops, bars and restaurants."

    Very attractive bedrooms with warm blankets and cushions offering a modern yet country level of style and comfort. Books for all ages, DVDs and board games offer the ‘family home’ feel, with maps and information box to guide you around the area. We left our own suggestion of a delicious eatery which gladly delivers! We didn’t have the weather for the garden furniture but the two patios offer welcome spaces for morning and evening sunshine. Some unfenced steep drops so upper garden unsuitable for younger children without supervision. Also slate floors and open stairs inside so unsuitable for toddlers or just about to walk-ers. Super warm oil central heating and wood burning stove; a small quantity of kindling and logs supplied, with papers and matches. You will need to bring your own logs for a longer stay, available from garages on your way into town. Well worth it if you’d like the atmosphere but snug even without. Plenty of bath and hand towels, pillows, spare bedding and cushions. Single tea towel, jay cloth and washing up sponge supplied. Hand soaps and washing up liquid. No kitchen spray* or cif type product found to enable that hygienic finish after meals. *I wouldn’t usually pack those. Usual be ushes, dustpan and brush and vacuum cleaner available plus hair dryer and travel iron in bedroom drawers. Clothes airer and washing machine. Boiler room with space to dry. Sufficient crockery, glasses, cutlery and saucepans etc. for the majority of holiday self-catering needs. Very good extractor fan and fan oven, microwave, kettle and toaster. Very small, less recent fridge freezer. No dishwasher. We would recommend this accommodation for a small family or couple having a car to travel around. Bring all your essentials. **Easier to find from seafront direction on your first try!**

    Many thanks for your kind review. Hope you have better weather if you visit Briar Cottage again. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely loved our week stay."

    Warm and cosy. Quiet and peaceful and secluded. Loved the garden. Loved the Xmas tree and decorations, not too much but just enough. Comfy sofa. Comfy bed. Big deep bath. Gorgeous warm wool blankets dotted around, which looked so nice. Everything worked and we had a super chilled week. Very reasonably priced and such a great place to stay in Pembroke. Different dog walking beach every day. The dog enjoyed her stay as much as we did! Happy Christmas.

    Thank you for your very kind review and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Briar Cottage. Property Owner

  • "A very good accommodation."

    We visited in December and not great weather. The cottage was easy to heat. Lots of space and all very clean. The lounge rug is a little shabby and the garden was untidy...being two gardeners that was something we'd notice but in general it was a perfect get away location.

    Thank you for your kind review and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at Briar Cottage. With regards to the rug that will now be given a deep clean and the garden is going to have a good tidy. Property Owner

  • "A warm, cosy yet spacious cottage."

    Ideally situated to tour the area and link up with my friends in Neyland. Entry to the back garden was via a few steep steps and the mainly grassed gaden was perfect for my dog. Being able to park the car next to the entrance is always a bonus.

    Many thanks for your kind review and so glad you had an enjoyable stay at Briar Cottage. Property Owner

  • "The property was comfortable!"

    but it lacked TLC cobwebs all round, dirty bathroom floor & mouldy shower curtain, which was lifted up & put on shelving next to bath soating wet. living room windows very dirty, the side ( entry key) door covered in bird poop which was not very inviting.
