    "Loved our stay at this lodge!"

    Nicer than what it looks in the photos. Really spacious and well geared up for family stays, with pleasant and easy walks nearby. Looking forward to returning soon.

    "Having used Dono's Lodge previously we loved the location and the 30 minutes walk to the beach so we were super excited to be going back."

    However we arrived at 3.00 which according to our booking was the check in time. The cleaners were still there and said they thought it was 4.00 and it wouldn't be ready for another half hour. I have since found out they are the regular cleaners so should have known this. When we did eventually get to start our holiday we were immediately disappointed by the strong damp smell coming from the living area, main bathroom and the twin room. The inside of the lodge had also lost its homely personal touch and this time there was no welcome pack. We started to unpack but the wardrobes / storage was already used for plastic containers, dumped towels, thrown in travel cot. There were stains on the hallway carpet. The next morning with the windows and doors being closed for the night the smell was even stronger. I messaged the owner and she apologised and arranged for her cleaner to pop round to investigate. However apparently she had no sense of smell so couldn't help. We noticed from the visitors book that the smell had been raised with the previous guests but obviously this had been ignored. We were given no further updates and so I messaged the owner who said she thought the cleaner had sorted the problem. We are currently in talks with Sykes requesting compensation as the holiday which was not cheap left us upset and disappointed.

    "Had a lovely stay at Donos Lodge."

    The lodge is very spacious and has everything you need. It does needs a little updating, the sofa is quite uncomfortable after sitting there for a while and the double mattress in the master could do with replacing as you can feel every spring, we did find a topper on the other double, so swapped it over. Still needs replacing though. We used our own duvet cover and fitted sheet,as we have very sensitive skin, but used the duvet itself which was like brand new. Overall, the lodge was very clean and on a lovely site. Everyone on the site was really friendly. Will definitely be returning next year.

    "We booked Dono's Lodge after being let down by cottages."

    Com who through their disagreement with the owner called to say our booking was cancelled. However, having booked this lodge, it proved to be one of the best holidays we have had. The lodge is so modern, clean, spacious, wonderful decking area and perfect location for walks and drives to Wisemans Bridge, Saundersfoot, Pembroke Dock, Tenby, Fishguard. The lodge has everything you could need and more. My only slight wish would have been to have a welcome pack with some essentials as there is no shop on site but it was all in all an amazing holiday and we would love to return, thank you

    "The lodge was spacious, comfortable and clean and most facilities were provided."

    There were a few issues however, namely the lodge was centrally situated and overlooked on every side, so privacy was compromised. There was damp in one corner of a bedroom and a broken, unrepaired shelf in the living room.The most important problem was that the family bathroom had an extremely unpleasant and overpowering odour, which made it unuseable. This meant that all 3 of our party had to use one bathroom and this was extremely inconvenient over the period of our stay.

    Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry with the issues that you have raised above. We really hope you were still able to have a great holiday. As we were only just made aware of these problems through this review, we were unable to rectify the issues raised. We are very disappointed by this as we run the lodge with such high standards and pride. Kind Regards, Donos Lodge Property Owner

KILGETTY

Cresswell Quay 2.4 miles; Saundersfoot 3 miles; Yerbeston 3.9 miles; Tenby 5 miles.

The rural village of Kilgetty is situated 2.4 miles from one of the most picturesque villages in Pembrokeshire, Cresswell Quay is best described as a delightful hamlet of scattered cottages at the edge of the tidal estuary. The central focal point is, of course, the old quay where boats can still moor, for the time the tide allows, and you may wish to pop into the Cresselly Arms for light refreshments. Just a short drive from the town of Tenby and offers a selection of shops and pubs, along with its own train station. Kilgetty is central to a number of attractions, with the coastal resorts of Saundersfoot and Tenby nearby, offering fabulous beaches, watersports and boat trips to Caldey Island, the home of a small gathering of monks and their monastery. Also nearby is the award winning Folly Farm, which makes for a great family day out and enables you to see a working farm at its best. Oakwood Theme Park is a 10 minute drive away and boasts the biggest wooden rollercoaster in Europe, whilst the spectacular Pembrokeshire coastline and the coastal National Park, a walker's paradise, are also within easy reach.
