The setting for the property is ideal. We were able to access the sea with paddle boards and kayaks directly. Wonderful views from the balcony and lounge.My only reservations were the inadequacies of the plumbing. Toilets were difficult to flush and a little more attention to maintenance and things like window cleaning.We would visit again because of the beautiful, peaceful surroundings.

Lovely stay

This was our third stay at Ferry Cottage. Fantastic location, especially if you like beaches, sailing, swimming or coastal walking. Good pubs within easy reach. The house is light and airy with amazing views. Amazing spacious kitchen. Beds are a bit small and soft and the water and plumbing is a bit erratic.

Stunning Location but...........

This could be a wonderful place to stay, the location is to die for with stunning views over the estuary, unfortunately the property requires a major upgrade. There is no water pressure and very little, if any, hot water. The windows were filthy and the interior had had a minimum clean. The garden is not safe for dogs or small children, there are large gaps in the fencing with exposed barbed wire and there are some sheer drops at the rear of the garden. The path down to the gated area leading to the beach is dangerous and unusable. The wifi is only good for emails, no bandwidth for catchup TV or streaming services. The utility room stinks of dog, mold on the shower doors, this property could do with a serious deep clean throughout and an upgrade to the plumbing system.

In need of serious work - not worth the money

The house needs serious attention. Windows don’t open or are stuck open. The carpets are stained and dirty. We didn’t walk around without shoes on. The Lino that covers the lounge and kitchen area is also old and it was sticky for us to walk on. The dirt is ground in. The house was not clean. The owner has said we should have told her and they would have got the cleaners in again, as she thought they might have forgotten to do a refresh clean before we arrived. This did not need a refresh clean. The dirt had been there ages, I can’t even guess how long. I’ve attached pictures and you can see the balcony and note the downstairs bathroom tiles where you can clearly see the grime around the edges.You need to run all the taps for at least 20 mins, as the plumbing is so bad. The owner said that a plumber has told them they need to replace all the plumbing. I would have really liked to be able to wash my hands without waiting 20 mins. There are also problems with the toilets, they block and the owners have added signs telling you along with a pair of tongs and a bin! The patio is broken up and you cannot use the beach gate. The back door wood has rotted and you can see daylight through it.
Bedroom carpet with dirty entrance
Radiator in the bathroom
En-suite with dirt around the edge. Shows the area that was used. This was day of arrival.
Outdoor patio with discarded mat. The storage boxes contained junk.

Idyllic setting for a winter break

Great time with friends. Particularly enjoyed the open plan living area with view of the estuary. Cream carpet in hall was rather impractical to keep clean, but I gather it is going to be replaced. Information pack about the area had disappeared, but I informed the owner. The owner was very easy to deal with by WhatsApp, which was great if we had any questions.

Heaven for children and well behaved dogs

Property was perfect for us ,it was the sort of house that you usually see on holiday that you wish you were staying at ! The location was spectacular,we didn’t need to explore any further than the beach and coast path ! Then dined in still appreciating the changing estuary Views. The weather was glorious too which greatly enhanced our stay.

A wonderful location

A truly amazing location, swimming when the tide is right and jumping off the wall when the tide is high. Absolutely fantastic. although the house could do with some serious maintenance, the balcony was covered in bird mess and the glass/Perspex was green. Although this didn't spoil our holiday, it shows that this house isn't cared for, which is such a shame as it could be absolutely amazing if a little money was spent on it tidying it up.

Probably the most relaxing holiday EVER

We cannot thank you enough for listing your home as a holiday destination. Our whole group has had the most relaxing time, the weather has been incredible and we shall saviour our memories of this trip for a very long time. The house is wonderful, your neighbours are all so lovely at the campsite and the village close by, and we have had a fabulous time! We shall be back! The only criticism would be that your pictures do not do it justice! Xx

New Year 2021

Property is situated in ideal location for beach, property exceptionally clean inside and lovely gesture with tea bags, milk, butter etc, although a little tired, water pressure is shocking as already mentioned, blinds were hanging off in dining area and the veranda is the perfect spot except the windows were green with moss! Garden is not dog friendly at rear as fencing needs replacing for peace of mind we were advised of this and we did bring chicken wire but area to vast to cover, overall a beautiful place but just needs a little care and attention with some simple changes, would still recommend to friends x

Lovely Rural Getaway

The location is what sells this house. You wake up with the sound of the sea lapping the shore. You can eat with amazing views of the estuary, and are so isolated you feel truly alone. A large property, with room for nearly 10 at a push. Plenty of parking, good WiFi, phone line, fully equipped kitchen, a lovely welcome bundle of goodies, and the hosts were very flexible in terms of check in and out. The house is probably in need of some TLC, and there are elements that are now quite tired. The lack of shower in the bathroom was a pain, and the outside lights tripped the fuse box constantly until we realised they were the problem. Check in and out times are pretty restrictive, and if owners hadn't been so flexible, I don't think I would have chosen the property. A 5pm checkin and 9.30am check out just doesn't work with toddlers. There were no facilities to recycle, which is fine, but instructions suggest that you have to do it and will get charged if you don't. This should probably get resolved. Sometimes struggled to get immediate response from owners, but always within 2/3 days. My granfer lived in one of the two cottages that were there before the current house was built, in the 1930s, and we've often looked at it wondering what it would be like inside. he always described it as being so far from everywhere, had to walk to school in hebrandston, kept their own pigs and slept on straw beds, got cut off in winter when in snowed! But that isolation is what makes it such a special location.

Best beach holiday ever

Lovely couple who cleaned the house, left a selection of Welsh treats and flowers for us. Perfect location. Gorgeous house. Is it for sale?! Scored rage for communication with property manager as we had no need to communicate with them. Scored 4 for accuracy of description because we felt the online pictures didn't do it justice.

Fantastic location, fantastic house but.....

This is an amazing house in an amazing location. The garden is lovely and the views over the creek are wonderful. We brought a dinghy and canoe with us and it is a perfect location for exploring Milford Haven by water. We also walked on the coast path from the house and further afield. On wet days the big glass windows meant the house was light and a perfect place to watch the world go by. The easy access to the beach would make it perfect for families with small children. This amazing house seemed a little tired though, the garden is somewhat spoiled by all the rubbish in the greenhouse, the windows needed cleaning and the toilet and shower plumbing are less than perfect. But the location makes up for it all. It is truly a one off property and we will be back.

Why they chose this property

Its location is epic, a fabulous retreat for us and our dogs in the beginning and then the kids. It's very peaceful, and you can't help relaxing when you get there!

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the sun-trap deck overlooking the beach, sipping a cool drink and watching the tide come in and out - heaven. Even in winter, you can sit in the warmth of the living room and gaze through the huge windows at the sunlight sparkling on the water .
