“Perfect family holiday”

We where a family of 8 with 2 dogs and this place was perfect to accommodate all of us. Very spacious and beautifully decorated and in keeping with natural beauty of the School House, we very much enjoyed reading some of the extracts written by the Head over the years when it was a school. The garden was perfect for cups of tea in the sun whilst watching the bees and smelling the lavender.

“The cottage was fitted out with ...”

The cottage was fitted out with everything we could have asked and more - we could have been at home. Superbly kept property and garden which was quite delightful and so well maintained. The proportions of the living space were such that 8 adults, one 18 month old boy and a large dog never made us feel cramped in the slightest. We would say that the cottage is exceptional.

“Lovely place, beautiful garden.”

Lovely place, beautiful garden. Extremely well equipped if you were fully self catering.Pub over the road very welcoming to humans and dogs. A few minor criticisms, beds not very comfy, we had lovely weather and could really have done with a sunshade over the outside table. Could not find anywhere close to walk dogs in the morning before we went out for the day. Found the rubbish explanation confusing, the black bin was full when we arrived, but no one else had put their bins out on the week we stayed?

“The School House was amazing, you ...”

The School House was amazing, you couldn’t fault the facilities or the location. It was so well equipped & so comfortable with the added benefit of the most amazingly friendly pub, The Pump On The Green, opposite!! We had our elderly parents with us & the house was perfect for them. The only comment we would make is, perhaps it would be preferable to list the house as not accepting dogs. We had my sisters dog with us & I completely understand the dog policy in place but I know she felt on edge worrying about having to watch his every move in the garden!!!! It didn’t make the house any less amazing or comfortable but maybe it should be a consideration? Overall, it was a fabulous week, thank you Sykes & thank you Leonie

“The School House is a superb ...”

The School House is a superb holiday cottage. A building full of character, retaining many original features . It has been converted and restored in a very sympathetic way using good quality materials. The equipment provided is comprehensive and met all our needs. Spittal is conveniently located within a short drive of much of Pembrokeshire and the Pump on the Green, just opposite the house, is a very welcoming and friendly pub and restaurant. The best Sykes cottage I've stayed in.

“Miss”

Firstly, the pictures of the School House do not do it justice! A beautifully converted building with more space than you can imagine for a party of 8 - my cousins and I were even able to dedicate the mezzanine level solely to yoga sessions, without the space being missed by the rest!! As a group, we spent most evenings cooking and eating together (every utensil, pot and pan imaginable are provided), then lounging around the wood burner with the drinks and laughter flowing, plotting how we could make the school house our own!!! I particularly enjoyed reading up on a little bit of history in the School House clippings folder - a brilliant touch. Would really recommend the pub across the road for a meal, very friendly atmosphere and although there were only two veggie options on the menu, the one that I ordered was delicious and we were provided with complimentary vegetables for the table, which is always a bonus!! We did not explore the village much unfortunately, but it was a very quiet setting. Further afield, the house is a short drive to Haverfordwest and Pembroke Docks, plus several beaches (we visited Freshwater West and Broadsands) walking trails (Stackpole and the Preselis), so is great for getting it and about in the days! As a group we all agreed, without a doubt, that we would stay here again based on the size, location and price. Our one and only qualm was that the water seemed to only runs hot early in the morning and we're a family of keen hikers... so trying to shower in the evening in a cold shower wasn't fun. Apart from that, 10 out of 10, and thank you to the owner's for providing so much to enable our stay to be so wonderful!!

House was extremely well appointed, lacked nothing. We especially appreciated the fact that there was tea and coffee left there as well as frozen food etc.from previous rentals. Very enjoyable stay, will be back.

“Fantastic”

This is a great place to stay with friends or family. There is plenty of room and the facilities are superb. The wood burner makes it a cosy stay for colder times of the year and the courtyard must be fab in the warmer months. Spitall is located near Haverfordwest and central to many of attractions in Pembrokeshire. I thoroughly recommend The School House.

“Perfect - Perfect - Perfect!”

In every way School House has to be just the best place to base yourself for a holiday in Pembrokeshire. With every mod-con imaginable School House provided luxurious accommodation that is not only spacious and very well equipped it is also Pet Friendly! We’ve just spent a week there to celebrate our parents ‘Diamond Wedding’. With the coast only minutes away and pet friendly beaches even the dogs have had a ball. I cannot recommend ‘School House’ highly enough. With a pub opposite serving delicious food we truly were spoilt - I cannot wait to return.

“Amazing!!!”

We have just had THE BEST week at the school house. It's so spacious, clean and well equipped. Not to mention decorated and maintained to a high standard! As a family with young children the washer became invaluable! The area is lovely and the pump on the green facing is just perfect! Food is delicious and the staff very welcoming and friendly. We will be back!!!!

The property

Drive into the centre of the quiet little village of Spittal, where you will spot this superb stone cottage opposite the Pump on the Green pub, which once seen you will be eager to get inside to explore this delightful holiday home.

Step into the hall and straight away you will know that you have chosen well for your Pembrokeshire holiday.

Walking into the open plan living space will take your breath away with its high vaulted beamed ceiling, its comfy seating around the warm multi-fuel stove, dining area and exquisite modern kitchen where family meals will be created together.

Adding another dimension, stairs lead up to the mezzanine level above the kitchen that’s a delight and has more comfy seating and an area to play games, making it the perfect snug for all ages.

Stepping back into the entrance hall through the beautiful arched doorway you will see a spacious family bedroom to one side and a glazed door to the other leading to a twin bedroom and a family bathroom with a walk-in wet room style shower that's ideal for the less mobile.

There are also two quiet spaces to sit and read and look out on the pretty garden.

Stairs lead to a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and the master bedroom with a superb four piece en-suite.

So much time will be enjoyed in this exquisite cottage both inside and out in the pretty garden.

In the garden, the owners' have strategically placed furniture in many places so quiet times enjoying a cup of tea in the sun will be the order of the day.

Take walks or bike rides from the doorstep, kick a football around together on the village green, which is situated next to the property, drive to the stunning coast to walk the famous coast path, laze on sandy beaches, take boat trips or seek out historic castles, theme parks and so much more; you will be amazed at the array of days out all close at hand.

Return after superb days out to gather round the table for family meals or take a night off and eat in the restaurant of the local pub while planning tomorrow’s activities.
