Fisherman's Cottage

• "A clean, comfortable, homely cottage in an ideal location."

  We were welcomed with bara brith,Welsh cakes and a personal note from the owners in case we needed them. The kitchen was very well equipped and spacious with the addition of a large dinning room. The accommodation was very dog friendly, laminate floors throughout and the outside space was secure. It is situated within a friendly village, with a pub nearby and only 30 minute walk to the coast. We would not hesitate to rebook if we were returning to the area.

  Second visit and just as perfect as last time. Spotlessly clean, cosy, quiet and lovely comfortable beds. It has everything you need and would want in a holiday home. Great location for beaches, walks snd a super village pub.

• "One of the nicest cottages we have used."

  Really clean, comfortable and cozy. Everything you would want in the kitchen and a tin of Welsh treats to welcome us! The only slight problem was the stairs and steps. Our daughter is visually impaired and would have benefitted from white markings on them. Overall, thoroughly recommend this cottage.

  It was a perfect base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast and Pauline and Eric were great hosts if we needed anything (good recommendations for places to eat !). The cottage is cosy and had everything we needed to relax after a day exploring. The welcome tin of bara brith and Welsh cakes were much appreciated. We would live to come back again as we still have so many lovely places to visit in the area.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Fisherman's Cottage and the lovely village of St Ishmael's."

  The cottage was very quaint and charming and was also very clean and well equipped. Our host left a lovely welcome gift, for our arrival, of Welsh cakes and a Bara Brith, together with fresh flowers on the table. We were made very welcome by the locals at the village pub, The Brook Inn and enjoyed the entertainment provided and some great chats with people from the village. Fisherman's Cottage is ideally placed for visiting so many of the beautiful bays and seaside towns along the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast and within a 15 minute drive to Milford Haven and within easy reach of Haverfordwest West. We enjoyed walking and exploring the coast and took some fabulous photos to remind ourselves of a great week.

  Everything you need under one roof. It was warm the week we went so no need to put fire on as it’s warm indoors… warmer than London! The coast is nearby / lots of walks to be had - the locals so friendly… Please remember to bring food - we brought a few things however the nearest shop is miles away (Milton Haven or a petrol stop shop) The local pub is cosy and the staff/ punters are friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute of our stay…. Sarah & Rich 1st - 8th October

• "A surprisingly spacious, very clean and well equipped cottage."

  The beds were super comfy and the cottage is set in the most peaceful of locations. So handy for our trip to Skomer which was primarily our reason for staying in the area. Also very close to some lovely walks, beaches and pretty coves. The nearby St Ishmaels garden centre has the most delightful tea room where they serve beautiful home made food and cater for vegetarian and gluten free diets. I would definitely stay here again.

  The cottage is quaint & cosy in a quiet village setting and has everything you need for a relaxing break. It is very dog friendly and our 2 dogs quickly settled into their new surroundings. The facilities are excellent and the cottage was clean with some lovely Welsh cakes left by Pauline & Eric to welcome us with a vase full of roses making the cottage feel like home from home. The area is excellent for walking with fantastic views over the countryside and some lovely beaches nearby which are all well worth a visit. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing week and would definitely recommend if you want somewhere quiet to get away from everyday living for a while. We will definitely be going back.

  The cottage was welcoming and homely and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. Although the cottage is not high end it was perfect for us as when you have young children and a dog it’s important that you can relax in your surroundings.

• "Fisherman's Cottage is a lovely cottage, well equipped with comfortable beds and extra touches to make it a real home from home."

  We enjoyed returning to it at the end of a day's exploring. The owner, Pauline left us a Bara Brith, Welsh cakes and flowers which were much appreciated. The village has no shops and the local pub is now closed and for sale. Other visitors should be warned that there are no other items of food in the cottage not even salt and pepper. Most cottages that we've stayed in carry a few essentials, (lack of them may be due to Covid). THe nearest place to do a grocery shop is Milford Haven about 6 miles away or Haverfordwest. I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends.

• "He cottage was just as described, clean with good facilities and in a quiet and peaceful location."

  The oil fired central heating worked a treat and had the place warmed up in no time. WiFi was very good and reliable, the kitchen was well fitted out and equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable with good quality bedding - all in all a cozy place to stay. The cottage is well located for local walks and plenty of places for the coastal path are easy to get to by car as are the towns of Pembroke, Milford Haven and Haverford West. We were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay and this went on to tick all the boxes for us. There is a local pub a short walk away and we visited four of the five nights we were there, staff and customers were friendly and a decent choice of beers were on tap as well - the only slight downside to it was that there was no food available, I think that may well be a seasonal thing as the leaflet/menu for the pub (in the cottage) looked good - but perhaps our stay in February was a little early for that - it wasn't a problem as we shopped accordingly. There is a washing machine and dryer available in the connected 'outhouse' which all looked fine although it wasn't a facility that we needed to use. Pauline the owner called to make sure everything was OK and to check we were happy with things and whether of not there was anything we needed. The fresh flowers on the dining room table, the packet of Welsh Cakes and the loaf of Bara Brith were a nice touch as well. It was all good and there wasn't anything we didn't like, if we were to be picky then I'd say the water pressure for the shower wasn't fantastic BUT to be clear it wasn't a problem and there was ample hot water for showering and bathing.

• "The photos of this property are out of date."

  The house is badly in need of professional decorating, inside and out. What the photos don't show is that this is the scruffiest looking house on the scruffiest looking street in the village. It was at least pretty clean although would benefit from a thorough spring clean. It's dark and smelt musty every time we walked in. It's not very welcoming to come back to after having been out walking all day. I would give it 3 out of 5, which means I wouldn't go back I'm afraid. A vase of flowers and a few Welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival don't make up for what feels like a neglected property. Needs more attention to detail. The location is ok but there is only one place in the village to get food and that's the village pub which serves very average food. If you want a decent meal then you have to drive elsewhere. Only a 20 minute walk from the stunning coastal cliffs though.
