To the Lighthouse

Excellent location and facilities. Great views. Well managed with good WiFi connectivity too. Makes a good base to explore Pembrokeshire. Had a great time. Many thanks

If you want a fantastic location then this is for you but there are some watchouts. - If visibility is low you will get the honk of the fog horn. We were fully aware of this and just so happened to pick the week of a storm! - The beam from the lighthouse is visible at night but not that distracting even at the rear of the property. - The Griffin at Dale is worth a visit. Fantastic food and drink. Unfortunately the week we picked at 70mph winds and no chance of walking the path so we went for day trips out to St Davids, Bosherton and Picton Castle. As with most rural areas, distance means nothing as everywhere takes longer than usual to get there so be open minded! The property itself was ok. We thought the back garden certainly hadn't been touched for a while and was in need of half a days labour to at least bring it close to the standard in the pictures. The bath needs replacing probably as it was so flexible it felt like you were going to fall through it. It just needs a bit of a spruce up. We did see a peregrine falcon hovering outside the cottage which was brilliant....

Really lovely property. Very relaxing.

We enjoyed our stay at To the Lighthouse at St Ann's Head Lighthouse, Dale in Pembrokeshire. The cottage is tastefully furnished in retro 1960's furnishings like Ercol and G-Plan which appealed to our sense of nostalgia and were very comfortable. The views from the cottage overlook West Dale Bay which is part of the Milford Haven Waterway and occasionally, we were able to see the ships and ferries as they sailed into and out of harbour. The early morning views from the cottage with the sunrises were stunning. The cottage is well equipped and was clean and tidy on arrival. It was also very warm and comfortable. There is plenty of good books to read from the bookcase in the downstairs living room and a television available though we did not us it during our stay. We found it was interesting to see that the Lighthouse is still in action and we did not find the light at night too intrusive. In all, it was a very low-key and enjoyable stay which is what we both wanted for Christmas....

The property was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfy. The property being quite isolated was just what we wanted with lovely walks on the doorstep. We ordered a Tesco grocery delivery which was very handy. We highly recommend 'The Griffin' in Dale. The food and service were excellent. They don't accept dogs inside but luckily the weather was really nice so we sat outside on the roof terrace. Little Haven and Solva are worth a visit amongst others. We had one stormy day so got to experience the fog horn from the light house which surprisingly wasn't as loud as we thought it would be. ...
