Captiva Cottage Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire

The cottage was very nice, with a great kitchen. Sadly the washing machine was broke when we arrived, the handy man said this had happened several times before. We had two lots of machine water all across the floor. We used our own towels and spent an hour and a half cleaning up. No thanks form the owners and no offer of taking our wet washing to the launderette until after we got home. By which time it was too late to get the receipts. There was no offer of any compensation, we didn't want much.. Just to know they cared and to understand it from our point of view. We left the cottage spotless and felt a small refund would have gone someway to make up for not having a washing machine. We appreciated they couldn't get a new machine before we left. Not going to go on any more! Just not the relaxing holiday we had looked forward to after a very sad time.

Had a fantastic stay at captiva cottage the house is just gorgeous its right in the middle of saundersfoot for myself & my wife & 4 kids it was perfect we would highly recommend it lots of happy memories will definitely be using captiva cottage again many thanks John & fiona Thompson

We loved the cottage like it was our own! The decor was gorgeous & the owners had thought about everything we would need! We feel they undersold how close & convenient the cottage was to the beach & town! It was wonderful!

The cottage was very well equipped, very clean, beautifully decorated with lots of lovely finishing touches.. It’s location is perfect and the parking space fantastic, we had a wonderful girlie family weekend mother, daughters and granddaughters we will definitely be booking through Sykes and staying at Captiva cottage again, booking flawless, great price, key instructions very clear and all you need for a wonderful break away, thank you to Sykes and Captiva owners

I have informed the owners but the property was not clean on arrival.. Dusty cobwebs dirty windows and i had to clean the washing machine before i used it.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable.. Great situation for walking into Saundersfoot.

Captiva Cottage is perfectly located to enjoy all that Saundersfoot has to offer.. Restaurants, bars and beaches are a very short stroll for the cottage. The cottage is spacious and easily sleeps 8 people - worth noting, the twin bedroom is accessed through a double bedroom and may be more suited to children. Although no issues for the 4 of us, only having 1 WC / shower could prove inconvenient to larger groups. The Stone Crab restaurant in the harbour is highly recommended

Everything you required for a great holiday.. Excellent cottage in a great location.

We had a lovely stay in Captiva Cottage.. It's close enough to the centre to make it very convenient, but far enough away to be a quiet place to stay. The cottage is finished to a high standard and well kept. The twin bedroom at the back is fairly small, and the "wardrobe" is taken up with high-chairs, so whoever is in there will need to hang clothes elsewhere. One bathroom for 8 people can be a little trying, but we managed ok :-) Great wifi and a good selection of DVD's and games to use. Plenty of bin-bags and dishwasher tablets as well. Thanks for a great stay :-)

Most disgusting house I have ever stayed in after 33 years of visiting Saundersfoot!!!! The house was dirty on arrival, there was smell that hit you as soon as you walked in and on inspection the toilet cistern had black grime running from it, everywhere felt sticky and grubby. The skirting boards were covered in thick black dust don't think they had been cleaned ever! The outside area littered with cigarettes VILE!!! The table cloth even had remnants of the previous occupiers breakfast on it. The knife and fork draw was filthy. We knew instantly we needed to leave as it was way below habitable for holiday guests we didn't even unpack. We rang Sykes and as the contract is with the owner we had no choice but to stay as she refused to release us, we were advised by sykes to stay as we may lose our money, she sent the cleaners back around as a token gesture however they made the excuses about it being dog friendly however it should still be clean and tidy!!! This place needed a deep clean worrying at the start of the season it was in this state. After a long journey and having 2 children and an elderly dog we were backed into a corner. We endured that one night and on the the next morning I had got back on the phone to Sykes as we had found thick black mould under the beds and dehumidifier boxes under every bed and moisture bags full of stale water in the wardrobes obviously a very bad damp problem no good for children, pets or asthma suffers like our family. I had also found a metal bin in the garden full of water and old dog poo absolutely RANK!!!! After many many phone conversations we were finally released from the contract, but the owner had the cheek to deduct the one night we had had to endure I think we should have been compensated for having to stay here, as it was easter everywhere was fully booked so we had no choice but to return home!! It completely ruined our long awaited holiday!! Only words I have to describe this place is VILE need environmental health inspection not fit for purpose in any way shape or form I'm shocked that there haven't been anymore reviews like this. Awful awful house.

Please put information about local recycling facilities in the welcome folder..

We had a lovely time, the property is in an ideal location to all the pubs, restaurants, shops and beach, literally a 3-5 minute walk.. The house is lovely and spacious, plenty of room for the 6 of us, we loved the huge kitchen/diner and took advantage of all the games provided, a credit to the owners.

Beautiful cottage, ideal location well furnished and spotlessly clean.. Whilst it wasn't important for us as there was only 2 of us travelling, there is only one bathroom (shower and toilet) which may be more problematic if 8 people were staying in the cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location, close to the beach, harbour and amenities! ! Congratulations to Michael and Lara for the love and thought that's gone into the design and facilities of their special cottage... we loved the theme and the decor, as it reminded us of our own honeymoon on Captiva Island, many years ago...we felt at home there and it provided a perfect little haven of peace and tranquility for a few days away to unwind, relax and regenerate. My only suggestion would be for more worktop space in the kitchen, because for people like us, who like to prepare meals and eat in, there aren't adequate food preparation areas. We hope to return to Captiva Cottage again.

The holiday was a last minute booking due to my wife (39)having stage 4 cancer and one of the wishes she wanted to do was to surround herself with our family and feel free next to the beach.. It was absolutely fantastic in every way and we didn’t want to leave and come back to reality of starting treatment. If my wife is well enough we would love to return in the future.

Great all round destination and accommodation

Captiva Cottage is situated in a fantastic location with easy access to shops restaurants, fish & chips, coffee shops, the beach and most importantly for me access to the coastal path where I spent many hours walking and enjoying the scenic views along the pathways. Although the weather was a little cold and windy as long as you were dressed up warmly nothing could stop the enjoyment and re-energising feeling of walking along the Pembroke Coast. The Cottage was very warm and welcoming with all the kitchen utensils you could possibly ever need ! In fact the whole cottage was well equipped with TV's in every room and the main living room had a cosy fire which gave a comforting glow after that long coastal walk. All appliances /heating/hot water working perfectly we had no problems with anything at the property The interior design was a joy, it was beach themed all light and clean with very tasteful pictures and objects d'art throughout the cottage We thoroughly enjoyed our stay it suited the needs of my elderly parents as well as families and their dogs. I would totally recommend this beautiful holiday home and I will definitely be returning for another holiday.

Great holiday home, very well equipped, beautifully decorated, would highly recommend it..

Just got home from a week in Captiva Cottage. Only ten minutes from the beach and shops, so ideal for a young family. Suggest you don't attempt the steps to the garden unless your fit, and have good balance as the 19 steps on the staircase are narrow and quite steep. The main downside to the property, in my opinion, was that, with three young children in the party, there were sometimes problems if the toilet and shower were required at the same time. so not enough bathrooms for eight people, hence 4 stars and not five. Another observation was the amount of dust on skirting boards, tops of cupboards and most top surfaces in all rooms. Everywhere is painted white, so with no carpets anywhere, the dust is there to see. There was dust underneath furniture in all rooms, so it really needs a thorough surface clean. On the plus side,the weather was great and we had a good holiday.

Ideally placed, easy to walk to village and beach
