Beverley
November 2024

“Great stay Lovely cozy lodge very central for days out in Pembrokeshire would definitely recommend”

- Beverley, November 2024
Chris October 2024

“The property was tucked away in a nice quiet spot.”

The directions provided to find it were spot on. The provisions provide were great and Natalie was a great host and welcoming. We will be returning in the future and can gladly recommend visiting to anyone else.

- Chris, October 2024
Kim October 2024

“Excellent”

- Kim, October 2024
Paul October 2024

“It's great to see a property be 'as advertised' and in our opinion better than advertised.”

The grounds the cottage are on are great, our little terrier loved the adventure and sniffing. The cottage itself is in great condition, very clean and very well kitted out. The location for us was brilliant... a quick stroll to the village pub and a little more to the village shop. 10-15 minutes drive gets you to Tenby or Pembroke for bigger shops. Note that for maybe 100 yards of the walk, there's no footpath so just be sensible until you get to the footpaths! Many thanks to Natalie for the welcome and putting a few essentials in the fridge! As a couple with a pet, Willow Lodge ticked every box and you won't be disappointed!

- Paul, October 2024

Thank you. You 3 were just the nicest of guests x Property Owner

Tracey May 2024

“We had a lovely relaxing stay at Willow cottage and it was a great base to explore the Pembrokeshire area.”

Natalie and her team were very friendly and if we had any problems we just needed to call them. The cottage had excellent facilities and was close by to lots of different eating places and things to do.

- Tracey, May 2024
Matthew March 2024

“As noted in the visitors' book, we had a wonderful stay, so thank you.”

The beds are the most comfortable we've ever had on any holiday, and we've been on a few! Our little boy loved it. Only points to flag to the owner are: new lightbulb is needed in fridge; and the grill pan in the oven doesn't seem to like being on any shelf apart from the bottom, as it kept falling down on one side (maybe it's just me!).

- Matthew, March 2024
Helen March 2024

“Willow Lodge is spot on for a short break with everything you would need.”

Very convenient for the tea room next door and garden centre. We visited quite a few places in 3 days and relaxed in the evening. Thanks Natalie

- Helen, March 2024
Dean February 2024

“The property is exactly as described on the Sykes website.”

Great cabin, very clean, huge amounts of room and every little detail covered. The host made are stay so welcome. Even down to her using her own Netflix. When we arrived we were greeted by herself who was full of joy and so welcoming. Milk provided in fridge, and a bottle of Prosecco. 10/10 from us all round. Would recommend the Willow lodge without a doubt. Awesome 3 nights.

“5 star accomodation!”

This was our second stay at Willow Cottage in the last 12 months and as on our previous stay, it was superb! Our two children aged 11 and 9 specifically requested we returned and we had a lovely week exploring the coastline and local area in Summer. The lodge is so beautifully presented and equipped - you will wish for nothing! Natalie and her family are excellent hosts and could not have been more helpful! A gem of a find with super comfy beds ....we will definitely be back!

- Joanna, August 2023
K May 2023

“Ideally situated in a very quiet but central spot so that it’s easy to get to all the fantastic attractions this area has to offer.”

The owner, Natalie, was so friendly and made sure that everything was as expected. Perhaps our best self catering choice ever. Faultless in every respect.

“Fantastic lodge, brilliant location to visit lovely places nearby.”

Lovely garden which is useful if you have a dog. The lodge was fully equipped, very clean, fresh linen, very comfy beds. It even had a wood burner which was lovely. Booking and check in very easy. The little welcoming extras were a nice touch. We met Nathalie the owner, she was very warm and welcoming and she made sure we had everything. I would highly recommend and we are definitely booking a return visit.

- Veronique, April 2023

Thank you so much x Property Owner

- Jonathan, November 2022
Linda October 2022

“We spent a very pleasant week at Willow Lodge.”

The accommodation was more than we expected. Lovely space both inside and out, also quiet and private. The lodge was really well equipped with lovely comfy beds and seating and the log burner was an added bonus for cosy evenings in. Having the outside utility room for our suitcases, the washing machine, vacuum cleaner, recycling boxes, etc was a really lovely thought. Also we have an electric car and almost directly opposite the entrance to Grandiflora were 4 double charging stations which were substantially cheaper than others we came across in town car parks. Would definitely recommend.

- Linda, October 2022
Nicky October 2022

“Wonderful holiday at Willow Lodge!”

What a gem of a find. Hosts Natalie and Dan friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for walking coastal paths in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside and dogs had a wonderful time running on the vast beaches. Lodge very comfortable and well equipped. Tenby only about four miles away, and the village of St.Florence is superb. Would highly recommend. Nicky and Roger

- Nicky, October 2022
Sue September 2022

“Loved our stay in Willow Lodge - clean, well equiped and peaceful.”

Great location for visiting beautiful beaches and countryside

- Sue, September 2022
Jacqueline August 2022

“We had a really lovely week in Willow lodge.”

It was a very comfortable base to explore Pembrokeshire. We had glorious weather and that meant we could enjoy the outside space as well. The setting is great, each lodge is set in its own grounds and is nice and private. It feels very safe and secure tucked away at the back of the garden centre. We enjoyed breakfast at Bramleys tea room and we were very impressed with the food and super friendly service. Natalie the owner is super responsive and very friendly and helpful suggesting walks and activities for us to do. We would definitely come again and would recommended to anyone.

- Jacqueline, August 2022

- Robert, June 2022
Sally June 2022

“We had the most amazing week.”

Willow Lodge is beautiful and very well-appointed, the owners really have thought of everything. The lodge is very private and set in a very peaceful tranquil spot in the beautiful village of St Florence. You can pop next door into the Grandiflora garden centre for a beautiful breakfast or lunch and their Sunday lunch is second to none. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Well positioned for loads of nice places and beaches. We will be back.

- Sally, June 2022

- David, April 2022
Gayle April 2022

“This is our 2nd stay at Willow Lodge and it was a real home-from-home.”

Everything that you could have needed was there, and it was very useful to have the milk etc when we arrived. Excellent location as only a few miles from beaches, a 5min drive from Heatherton World of Activities, Dinosaur Park and Manor Wildlife Park but away from the noise of Tenby. Will definitely be back again!

- Gayle, April 2022
Karl April 2022

“Lovely peaceful and private setting.”

Would definitely rebook.

- Karl, April 2022
Paul March 2022

“Great property and location.”

First time in a log cabin and found it really comfortable. Couple of notes for the owner as I didnt get to see him before we left. 1/ Noticed gutter downpipe at front of property disconnected from gutter 2/ Needs new mastic on worktop especially behind kitchen sink I only mention this because I would want someone to highlight any potential areas of damp or damage. It didnt impact our holiday at all. Really enjoyed our time there and will book again.

- Paul, March 2022
Carol February 2022

“Had lovely week at this lovely chalet.”

Fitted out well. Everything you would need provided. Nice terrace with gate ideal to stop toddlers and dogs wandering off. Plants on boundary give you a super feeling of being secluded. Bradley’s excellent cafe at end of car park. Location if you have children is ace as Manor Wildlife Park, Dinosaur Park and Heatherton adventure all within 4 mins. Tenby just slightly further. Ideal location without being in hustle if Tenby at peak times. Would definitely return and recommend. Also a welcome pack of wine, milk, welshcakes. Thank you

- Carol, February 2022
Matthew January 2022

Sally July 2021

“We have just returned from a lovely week in Willow Lodge.”

The lodge was really clean and well equipped, very comfortable. Area brilliant for walkers and beach lovers, plenty of choice. Also lots of castles to visit and nice seaside towns to potter around, Tenby lovely, although very busy the week we were there. The tearoom at the garden centre was really nice too but very busy so book if you can. Billy the dog was amazing. Our only disappointment was that our friends who were supposed to join us were unable to come along due to a positive covid test

“A lovely comfortable and cosy lodge in an excellent location for exploring the local area.”

The lodge was very well equipped and includes a highly effective log burner with generous supplies of wood to keep off the chill (even if that shouldn't have been necessary in May!).

- Steven, May 2021
Steve October 2020

“Very comfortable bed.”

Well equipped lodge (although missing a potato masher). Quiet location with good access to surrounding areas. Good communication with owner. Friendly staff at onsite cafe and garden centre. Had wonderful weather for mid October.

- Steve, October 2020
Sarah March 2020

“The information stated that the garden was enclosed and whilst it had small trees/shrubs as hedging it was not entirely enclosed so dog owners need to be aware of this.”

- Sarah, March 2020
Lois February 2020

“We had the best valentines weekend away!”

The lodge was lovely and we will definitely try and return soon, we really didn’t want to leave. The log burner was a plus, making the nights really cosy during the stormy weather. Located in a really peaceful village, not too far from Tenby and other surrounding areas, and a short walk to the local shop which had nearly everything and really affordable. Owner was really lovely and welcoming.

- Lois, February 2020
Nikita January 2020

“This is probably the most spontaneous thing we’ve ever done!”

We booked a last minute break to West Wales for a few small days - and it was completely wonderful. We chased castles and beaches. We treaded new ground and old ground. We followed a map and our hearts. And in turn we were reminded that Wales is magnificent. Thank you for having us at such short notice.

- Nikita, January 2020
Marc October 2019

“It would be good to have some lighting at the main entrance when accessing the keysafe.”

The lock is also heavy and unwieldy which can be frustrating especially in poor weather.

- Lucy, August 2019
David July 2019

“Had a wonderful holiday and the owner was very informative about places of interest for us to visit.”

She left us lovely yummy treats which was very welcomed when we arrived after a long journey there. The lodge was extremely clean and well equipped with an assortment of kitchen items. The position of the lodge was in secluded part of the garden centre away from the public view with picturesque outlook onto a padlock of horses. In all a most pleasing break away from the rigours of life!

- David, July 2019
Sandra July 2019

“Lodge in a relaxing location and local for the zoo etc.”

Also with the advantage of a lovely tea room and the 2 pubs in walking distance had great food. A very good welcome and nothing was to much trouble for Natalie. Would definitely go there again.
