  • "Stunning property and location to stay in."

    Everything has been thought of to make your stay a comfortable one. It was so nice to get a daily visit from Percy the pheasant and hearing the woodpecker and owl. The woods are lovely to walk in, likewise the fields the otherside of the road. We all slept well here and enjoyed our week stay. We very much look forward to returning next year! Thank you for a wonderful stay

    We are delighted you enjoyed the Dingle and our wonderful woodland and thank you for choosing it for your stay. The Pheasant is a new visitor this year so I’m glad to hear it’s still visiting! It would be great to have you back again. Thanks Property Owner

  • "Fantastic property."

    Stayed with friends over New Year. All facilities available in the house. Everything we expected. Nice walks on cliffs and beach and pubs nearby with great food. Cozy nights in. We had 2 dogs who were safe in the enclosed garden. Lovely space throughout the house.

  • "The property was fantastic."

    Very spacious with a wonderful, modern kitchen, and fully equipped with every facility you could possibly want. All the beds are fitted with high quality memory foam mattresses and I would say it is probably one the of the most comfortable sleeps we have had in a cottage or hotel. The large enclosed garden was perfect for our two small dogs although if you have a very small dog (e.g. Chihuahua) you will probably want to keep a close eye on the raised decking as there are gaps in the banisters of 4 to 5 inches which one of our dogs managed to squeeze through at one point. The decking is entirely enclosed so you can just not let your dog out onto it. As an aside, we can thoroughly recommend Seven Spice, the excellent local Indian restaurant/take away in Kilgetty. Order your food an hour to two hours before you want to eat though… it is rightly very popular and demand for their food is high. We can thoroughly recommend the Dingle

  • "Loved The Dingle , clean , tidy , very comfortable, well furnished with everything we needed ."

    Felt a lot bigger than the photos show . Loved the garden , how quiet it was . The only thing we couldn’t find was an oven glove . Great place to stay . Great to walk to local beaches . A credit to the owners .

    Thank you so much for your lovely review Debbie and we are delighted you loved it. The garden really is a wonderful escape. So sorry the oven glove was missing I will tell the cleaners as they should provide a clean one each week. Property Owner

  • "The Dingle is a lovely spacious property with plenty of room for children and dogs."

    All the bedrooms are a good size with comfortable beds. Lovely walks straight from the property to the coastal path leading to fantastic beaches. An ideal location for discovering this part of Pembrokeshire. An outside tap for muddy shoes and dogs would have been useful ( unless there was one which we didn't find !)

    Wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay. The coastal path being on the doorstep is such a bonus. There is an outside tap but currently located by the greenhouse which we had to prohibit access to for guests sadly for safety reasons but we will look into installing another one as it would be very useful.

  • "We had such a lovely holiday at the Dingle, This spacious, comfortable bungalow in a tucked out of the way little road was lovely."

    Equipped with everything you would need and more.Peaceful and quiet location within easy reach of the coast. Garden fenced off for dogs . The Walk to Amroth & Saundersfoot a must. Tenby was a great place to visit. Wiseman pub good for food, can recommend Sunday roast at the Amroth arms. On arrival we did report a fault in the bathroom but this was swiftly put right and did not affect our stay. We will definitely stay here again, just a perfect place for us.

    Thank you Christine and so glad you enjoyed your stay so much and we would love to welcome you back. We must try Amroth Arms too as several people mentioned how good it is. Property Owner

  • "We loved our stay at The Dingle, it is a very comfortable and spacious property in a perfect location."

    The garden and surrounding woodland is beautiful and secure for our dog. We did a lot of walking and our favourite was the coastal walk from Wiseman’s Bridge to Saundersfoot. The road to and from Wiseman’s Bridge is steep but only takes 3 minutes in the car and there’s free parking along the front. We will definitely be back and would recommend.

    Thank you Jo for your lovely review, wonderful to hear you had such a great time and so glad Kenzie loved it too Property Owner

    Otherwise the Dingle is amazing.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the suggestions for the Welcome Pack. Property Owner

  • "The property was just perfect!"

    Well laid out internally with plenty of space for the 6 of us and a large, fenced garden plus plenty of off-road parking outside. Location was ideal with a 5-minute walk across fields to reach the coast path, with shorter walks for the less energetic as well as more challenging opportunities. Jamie and Becky also provided a most comprehensive “Welcome” document in advance of our stay, helping to make plans for adventures prior to arrival – many thanks!

    We are delighted The Dingle provided the perfect holiday home and our Welcome booklet helped you plan your stay. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "The Dingle is set in beautiful grounds - the gardens are safe and secure for dogs and children, which definitely makes for a more relaxing time!"

    The bungalow itself is well thought-out and everything you could possibly want or need is available. Everything was spotlessly clean and linen, towels etc are of a high quality. My only slight word of warning word of warning would be for anyone who has mobility issues as the driveway and front steps aren’t the easiest to negotiate. We had a great stay and would be more than happy to recommend the property. :)

    Thank you for your kind review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the Dingle - really comfortable and clean property and we loved the garden and woods (kids really loved them)."

    Lots to explore in the local area so no need to travel too far. We liked walking to Amroth beach, boat trip to Caldey Island, exploring Saundersfoot, and our favourite beach was Coppet Hall - our kids (aged 5-7) loved body boarding there - it felt very safe and it was nice and sandy! We ate out at the Wiseman's Inn - good basic pub grub.

    Thanks for your lovely comments and so pleased you had a great stay. We would love for you all to stay at the Dingle again. Property Owner

  • "The Dingle is a spacious and well appointed bungalow set in a very quiet peaceful position."

    The road down to the beach and pub is a fairly steep walk but there are alternative footpaths through fields and woods to the shore. The garden is mature and very well planted, the area beyond the excellent child/dog proof fence, is gradually and charmingly "rewilding" and worth exploring. The bungalow is well appointed and beautifully furnished and decorated throughout. The open plan kitchen is excellent for preparing sociable meals. We used both the BBQ and the permanent pizza oven which was fun and relatively easy, so come prepared with pizza flour and ingredients and have a go. The access to the front door has steep steps but access to the rear is by a narrow decked sloping path. Parking three cars at the front was easy. From the Dingle it is a pleasant and short walk to the excellent long sandy beach at Amroth; walking to Saundersfoot is easy along the shore path but remember there is the climb back up to The Dingle. It is a great place for a multi-generational family holiday.

    Wonderful to hear you had a super holiday and enjoyed the Dingle’s surroundings and excellent coastal walks. So pleased you got the pizza oven going it really does splendid pizzas and slow cooks a joint of meat beautifully too! Property Owner

    You could tell love and care has been put into the decor and gorgeous garden. It was immaculately clean too. We could relax with our dog in the garden because the fencing is very doggy proof. We have stayed in the area a good few times but this was the best. The walk to Amroth through Cliff road was stunning. Thank you so much for letting us stay, it was a much needed break x

    Thank you Elaine and fantastic to read your lovely comments. Super to hear you had such a great time. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful week at The Dingle."

    The house was really spacious for five adults and a dog, with four genuinely double bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen and spotlessly clean. There is a beautiful garden with outdoor seating. The location is ideal - it's just a 10 minute walk down the hill to the beach and a nice pub. Saundersfoot is just a short walk further round the coast with a wonderful beach. Recommend going to Stackpole and the beaches at Broadhaven and Barafundle Bay.

Park-up in the ample driveway with space for four cars, before making your way into your new home-from-home.

Be welcomed into the spacious open-plan living room, where you can look forward to relaxing whilst watching your favourite film on the Smart TV, as the wood burning stove crackles nearby or taking in the sweeping view across to Saundersfoot.

At dinner time, look forward to rustling up mouth-watering meals in the fully-equipped kitchen/dining room, with a handy dishwasher for those fuss-free clean-ups!

Just off the kitchen is a utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, ideal for keeping your holiday wardrobe fresh.

Settle down to dinner at the dining table with surrounding views of the private woodland, or if the weather is nice, why not open up the sliding doors to dine alfresco out on the private, enclosed decking enjoying a wood fired pizza from the clay oven or cooking on the barbecue.

Wash away the day with a refreshing shower or indulgent soak in the bath, before choosing from four well-appointed bedrooms for a good night’s sleep.

Choose from a super-king-size with zip/link or the nautical room with a king- size-zip/link or two other bedrooms both with king size beds, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all.

About the location

STEPASIDE

Amroth 1 mile; Saundersfoot 4 miles; Tenby 6.5 miles; Narberth 7 miles; Pembroke 10.8 miles.

Once home to both coal and iron mines, Stepaside is now a holiday hamlet with a few houses pubs and restaurants. This valley was a hive of industrial activity from the 14th to the 19th century as it was an integral part of the Pembrokeshire coal field. It’s hard to imagine that now, as very little remains apart from the old ironworks at Stepaside and the railway tunnels between Wisemans Bridge and Saundersfoot. There were 12 collieries working in this area at its heyday. The whole of Pembrokeshire beckons with the harbour and seaside resorts of Amroth just 15 minutes’ walk away, Tenby and Saundersfoot close by, visit secluded sandy beaches, such as the acclaimed Barafundle Bay for a quiet relaxing day, or take in an invigorating walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Path. Enjoy a boat trip to Caldey Island and its monastery, or to Skomer, which is renowned for its puffins. For the most adventurous, extreme watersports await, whilst golfers can take the challenge of Tenby's famous links course. The nearby town of Narberth is a delight to discover with its many individual shops, including upmarket boutiques, specialist deli grocers and unique gift shops, and a wide choice of restaurants, bistros and pubs can be found in and around the town. Queen's Hall, Narberth's leading cultural and arts venue hosts a variety of concerts, plays and events, which can be enjoyed throughout the year. A perfect holiday base at any time of year.
