    Spotlessly clean and cosy - lovely bed linen and everything you need for a great stay. Manager, Sharon and owner, John brilliantly supportive - thank you

    Just a few niggles first. There was a problem with the shower, it was impossible for me to turn on. Sharon arranged for the handyman to look at it the following day, and she provided a new shower mat

    The cottage is perfectly located between the two villages of Broad Haven and Little Haven and is a perfect base for walking the Pembrokeshire coast path. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and cleaned to a high standard.

  • "Really excellent Cottage in a super position for both Little Haven and Broad Haven, both easy walking distance although at top of a hill!"

    Good places to eat in Little Haven and supermarket in Broad Haven very adequate. Lovely beach if the weather had been kinder! Only comment is the outside eating area. This is on a shared gravel driveway and facing the crossroads, so not very relaxing or private. Lots of very helpful advice on things to see and do, and everything we needed in the cottage for our week’s stay. Many thanks

    The hot water could be a bit iffy towards the end of our week. Little Haven was gorgeous, especially the pub, St Brides Inn...........well worth a visit. All in all, we had a great time, particularly seeing thousands of puffins & other sea birds. Only one morning of rain too so the week was excellent.

  • "We have had a wonderful stay in Foxglove Cottage."

    It’s our second stay and we could see improvements that have been made since our last stay. The cottage is well positioned, you can access lots of places of interest within half an hour drive, the perfect spot to explore Pembrokeshire from. The cottage is well stocked with all the amenities you need, the only thing I would say needs attention is the crockery cupboard which is damp. we kept all the dishes we were using out on the countertop as there was actual mole growing on one or two things inside the cupboard. However, this did not put us off and we certainly be back again.

    ) from Little Haven, which was very friendly, with great pubs. Easy access to the Coastal Path, at a very beautiful section of it. The cottage had everything we needed, and was warm enough with the central heating, though we made good use of the woodburner - a comfort after being blown about and soaked by the weather. Thank you to the owners for a lovely New Year stay.

    The cottage was very comfortable & well equipped. A few minor niggles. No drying facilities, other than a small drying frame. Mouldy coffee grounds in the coffee maker. Nowhere to hang towels. A shame no option to recycle food waste - it felt wrong to throw it in with non-recyclables. An umbrella for outside would be nice. Also, I kept hitting my head on the sloping kitchen ceiling next to the Velux, by the sink! My fault for being 6' tall.

    Foxglove was such a lovely place to stay we had such a lovely time, the only issue was the heating wasn’t the best as it would only stay at a low temperature so was quite cold, but other then that we had such a lovely stay, and would most likely stay here again

    I’m so sorry about the heating. It sounds like we need to write up some clear instructions so we can ensure this is remedied. Thank you for letting us know about this. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage."

    Stayed for 2 weeks - first week just two of us, two other family members joined for second week. Problems with the boiler throughout first week - strong fuel smell and then water leak. Boiler broken. Sorted by owners - who were in regular contact to monitor progress - although took four visits by plumbers over seven day period (Got to know them quite well !!) . Apart from that, cottage is comfortable - beds especially so - well equipped and decorated. Great for 2 people or couple with children. With the mezzanine bedroom, bit odd for 2 couples as have to agree appropriate privacy / getting up times etc. Booked with The Grange for the rest of our family and the combination works very well. Close to Broad Haven and Little Haven. Good pub restaurants (esp. St Brides Inn and The Castle) with good range menus (2 vegans in our group well catered for).. Really good holiday.

  • "This was a last minute booking for us and therefore was very happy with accommodation."

    Small from outside and a tardis inside. 2 good size double bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, large sitting room with log burner. Starter pack of wood and kindling provided. Plenty of parking for 2 cars. Property adjacent to owners holiday home. Very peaceful location as owners weren’t there. Perfect location to walk to both Little Haven and Broad Haven beaches. One pub open in Little Haven The St Brides Inn good food, very busy recommend booking. Broad Haven has convenience store, cafe and pub open. The beach is lovely long and sandy, very popular with surfers and dog walkers. My only criticism with the accommodation is that it needs underfloor heating kitchen and bathroom. Perhaps do away with freezer and replace with dishwasher. It took us 24 hours to warm the accommodation- perhaps leave heating ticking over low when not booked. However we had a lovely stay and enjoyed our daily walks. Great location for exploring the local towns, beaches and a must is a visit to St David’s only a 30 minute drive away

    Well stocked kitchen, really warm cottage even though it was autumn and chilly, slight smell of oil from time to time but nothing major (due to heating system). The only thing we might have appreciated is a clock in the bedroom as it's pitch dark in there at night (it's great!) and using your phone to check the time isn't ideal. Check in / out was easy, really grateful for the outside light being left on for our arrival, parking on the drive was great (thanks for the heads up on the steep turn!). Beautiful area, close to many beautiful beaches

    The beds are very comfortable! My tall husband was unable to prep food in the kitchen due to the slanted roof. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was walking with my two small children on the single track roads around the cottage. The walk down to Little Haven is a 20% slope, but that didn't bother us. I was new to this area so unaware of the road situation.

    It was near enough to Little Haven and Broad Haven to be accessible via a quick walk but located in a very peaceful countryside. As a note, there is a steep hill on the walks to the villages, so you would want a sling if you have a small child. The cottage was very cosy with plenty of room for a travel cot. As a bonus, there is a baby bath, high chair and travel cot available for use should you require then. It was an excellent cottage and exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend it when visiting the area.

    It is clear from the previous comments that some efforts have been made though. Also, more should be made of the VERY steep hill back up from the village, one of our party struggled with this & had to be fetched by car.

Despite all this, we ( the younger members of our party) would probably revisit this cottage again, ( which surprises me too ! ).

    Both the bathroom and kitchen were below standard. We feel that the cottage was overpriced. My first job was to unblock the shower waste, totally blocked up. TV reception was very poor probably due to the aerial facing in the wrong direction. The kitchen needs an update. The cottage served it's purpose but could have been better. We made the mistake of not reading other reviews, some being quite negative.

    DVD player is ancient and very noisy. The advert should make it clear there is no wi fi- the greeting info suggests you should be out and about rather than using wi fi, therefore it isn't provided. We should make that decision. The weather wasn't always kind and one of our choices of activity was taken away because the decision had been made for us. I found that extremely patronising. In the downstairs bedroom is a vent. When it was windy - and it was very windy - the vent makes an awful racket. This kept us awake more than once. The quilt on the upstairs bed had a coffee stain on it and had very clearly not been washed. The cottage feels like it needs some money being spent on it and we felt it did not justify the grading. We would not use this cottage again.

The property

This beautiful Little Haven cottage is set within the grounds of the owners' holiday home in the village of Little Haven and is the perfect base to explore the whole of Pembrokeshire.

Step into a lovely well-equipped kitchen, which leads into a sitting area with gloriously high ceilings, open beams and original stone walling, retaining the character from the restoration of an old pigsty.

This Little Haven cottage has a stairway leading to a lovely light and airy mezzanine double bedroom, and there is a further double room on the ground floor.

A short walk downhill from this delightful Little Haven cottage takes you to the village, scattered around the lovely small cove where small boats can be launched, rock pools can be explored and relaxing days can be spent on the pretty beach.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs around the cove with the village offering a good selection of cafes, a bistro, pubs and a delightful craft shop.

The larger sandy beach at Broad Haven is just around the bay and Newgale, just a little further from this Little Haven cottage, is a surfer's paradise.

This character Little Haven cottage offers the perfect base to return to each evening to reflect on the day's discoveries.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 914882, together they sleep 10.
