Self-Catering Foxglove Cottage in Little Haven

I booked this conversion last minute for a base to explore the area and lots of walking. Arrived in the dark but seemed small from outside but on entering was spacious. Good size kitchen well equipped. Large sitting room with log burner, bathroom with shower and 2 double bedrooms. My husband and Mum turned up later and enjoyed the weekend. I stayed to enjoy 4 days of walking to the nearby beaches. Little Haven a short walk down the steep hill with lovely cove/ harbour. Not a lot open this time of year. 3 pubs on site but only St Brides open. The owners holiday home is adjacent to the property with gravel drive and parking for 2 cars for Foxglove. Owners weren’t there when we stayed so very peaceful and due to little light pollution amazing star gazing. The property was well cleaned before I arrived and a basket of wood and kindle provided as a starter pack for the log burner which was very nice on the cold evenings. Not sure if anyone had checked out beforehand I don’t believe so as it took a good 24 hours to warm the property by central heating and log burner but was very toasty after that. Nice to have a radio/cd player and dvd to use. Nice walk to Broad Haven where there is a large sandy beach and lots of surfers. Cafe/ pub and convenience store open every day No pets allowed at the property so property smelt nice and fresh. Loved the beamed ceiling. Roof does slope in kitchen and upstairs annexe bedroom but no issue for any of us as all under 5, 8”.

My husband and I stayed with our baby and it was an excellent choice.. 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.

This is a lovely little cottage, well equipped kitchen and lots of books cds and dvds provided for entertainment.. We had beautiful weather so were out all of the time. Some earlier reviews criticised the cleanliness of the cottage but it was spotless on our arrival. The village of Little Haven is 10 minute walk downhill but the first part of the hill is very steep so it took us 20 minutes to walk back. We would certainly stay here again.

Lovely accommodation, comfy beds, well equipped, warm and clean .. Lovely location, only downside was the hills getting from the cottage to the two coastal villages is very steep , memtion of this would be good , one of our party was recovering from a serious back problem art the time of our visit so we needed to take the car down evertime .

The condition of the bathroom floor was unresolved - there are chips in the flooring, and the shower area could do with a deep clean.. We were there for two weeks with only one teatowel. Small things, I know, but not up to Sykes`s usual standard.

Hi Great little cottage , all you need for a stay to explore the coast , easy access to both Little Haven and Board Haven and surrounding areas , lots to see and beaches close by all within walking.. . Although the hill may not suite all ages. Ideal to get those legs fit and good for an excuse if eating at the pubs down the hill... we will definitely visit this cottage and area again.

You have to be pretty mean to give you 1 toilet roll (already started) and no hand soap.. There are a few minimal things I expect when renting a cottage and toilet paper and hand soap are some of them; they at least provided washing up liquid.

Surprised only a single roll of toilet paper provided, no washing up liquid.. Larger tv would be nice

Liked the cottage,but not happy with the cleanliness.. We paid you a lot of money for the week and I don’t expect to have to clean up when I arrive,very unhappy and once I read the visitors book realised this has happened a lot,should have been noted before,and has put us off a lot.

Lovely cottage but needs some work to bring fully up to the standard we expected.. 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. The postcode given has no relation whatsoever regarding the location & is misleading. Despite all this, we ( the younger members of our party) would probably revisit this cottage again, ( which surprises me too ! ).

A great little cottage for four people, in an excellent location (the hill climb back from the village was a bit taxing for us oldies though! ). Beautiful scenery, lovely coastal path walks, plenty of beaches for surfing (the two younger members of the party enjoyed Newgale and Freshwater West in particular), and Poppit Sands near Cardigan was delightful. The cottage was well equipped for four people. Only comment - outside space was just a gravel drive (large). A discrete seating area would have been nice. Pembroke Castle very well worth a visit.

A very nice and confortable cottage it has all the eqiipment you need and impirtantly the heating works well.. The cottage is at the top of a quite steep and unlit road from Little Haven so take a torch. Its only a short walk but seems worse after a evening meal. The costal walks are the jewel in the crown for this area.

Mr Wain

First time we have been disappointed.. 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.

Great accommodation: bril in every way..

Coffee maker was full of used coffee in the filter.. 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.

There are two properties here and we were lucky that there was no one in the other house (which sleeps 6), as we would all struggle to park and I would have felt overlooked all the time..

We stayed here this week, it is a lovely cottage but does need a very good clean, there are cobwebs everywhere, mould in the bathroom and kitchen and just had a bit of a grotty feel. If it had a deep clean this little cottage would be perfect. It's in an excellent location, 5 mins fro the beach. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. We probably would stay here again if it was cleaned.

I had a good week at this cottage but I think it needs to be made clear in the listing that the sitting out area for the cottage is in the car parking area which is also used by another property.. I didn't feel able to sit and relax outside in what was basically the car park for up to 5 cars.

The cottage is really lovely and in a great location but was ruined for us because of a few minor details which could have been easily remedied. The cottage could do with a good deep clean - it was quite grimy, there's a damp smell in the kitchen cupboard, a cheesy/sick smell in the bedroom, the leather sofas were sticky, the towels from the previous tenants were left in the wardrobe (the manager turned up after we'd been there about a half an hour to take them away - just glad we hadn't used them!). The toilet seat was broken and the DVD player on the TV was jammed - although both were replaced after reporting to the manager - however we could have done without the hassle of it. There was a problem with the toilet cistern making noise through the night (which had been mentioned in the visitor book by a previous tenant), we mentioned it to the maintenance man when he came to fix the loo seat and he sorted it out - don't know why this couldn't have been sorted out before? The outside seating area is just a table and chairs in the car park - it would be nicer if a small area could be fenced off to make it more private. In the visitors book someone also mentioned the lack of washing line or tumble dryer - for a beach holiday cottage it's a bit pathetic when you have to construct your own washing line to dry your beach stuff. It could be a really lovely place but just felt that the owners left it in the hands of the management team and they were just doing the bare minimum and weren't taking on board comments made by previous visitors. And the lack of WiFi was irritating - the handbook citing that the owners wanted people to be able to get away from it all - that's just a cop out. We complained to Sykes on our return and they haven't even bothered to respond.

Foxglove Cottage was excellent and it felt like home from home. The kitchen was well equipped.

Miss Higgs

An excellent location and beautiful surroundings with very friendly local people. We would love to visit this area again and stay in Foxglove Cottage, it is a real home from home.

The cottage was warm and cosy yet felt spacious due to the lovely high ceiling. Nice to come home after a wet day out.

Miss Burton

A lovely snug cottage within easy walking distance to both Little Haven and Broad Haven. Would definitely go there again.

Cottage was situated in an excellent location close to a number of beautiful coastal villages which made exploring easy and rewarding. Locations and amenities were exactly as described. This was one of the best holidays we have had. We would recommend the cottage and the location as an ideal place to base a holiday from.
