Property code: OC-PW9096

Go mutts on a trip to this family-friendly holiday home in Saundersfoot which welcomes two pups to stay and play. Head out to sea on a wildlife-spotting boat trip to soak in the panoramic sights from the harbour for an unforgettable experience with your canine companions at your side.

The heart of the home is the lounge where comfortable sofas are placed around a warming gas fire and a TV, where all the family can gather together for a spot of evening entertainment. At mealtimes, the kitchen/diner has everything you’ll need with bright windows allowing light to pour in and seating at both the breakfast bar as well as at the eight-seater dining table. Come rain or shine, the conservatory is a wonderful place to relax with a cup of tea and a good book, with a wood-clad ceiling and pretty views out of the windows. Completing the ground floor is a handy downstairs shower room and a utility room where you can wash off any muddy clothing from your walkies. Upstairs, are three bedrooms, including a triple with access to a decked balcony, furnished with a double bed and a single bed, perfect for those with young children. Next door is a tasteful twin, and there is also a bright double – both offer peaceful places to rest your head. Finally, there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. In addition to the decked balcony, there is a raised deck at the front of the property where you can sit out and eat when the sun is shining, with your dogs snoozing at your feet.

Saundersfoot town is just 200 metres away from your doorstep, with an array of shops and eateries to be enjoyed, many of which serve up fresh, locally caught seafood. A number of paw-friendly sands can be found within the local area, including Saundersfoot itself, which has restrictions on the southern half but still allows plenty of space to fetch on the rest of the bay. Set off on the Wales Coast Path in search of the best sticks to fetch, heading towards Tenby (3.5 miles) to visit the quintessential seaside town which has a beach welcoming dogs all year round to plod on the sand and sniff out a new adventure.

Needs serious investment outside, very run down & dirty, such a pity for a great house & fabulous location, this seems to be on going reviews 2025 saying the same thing, owners not concerned about deterioration of the property, just keep charging holiday cottage clients a lot of money to stay especially high season, if you have small children they Read morewill need shoes on decking & terraces as worn & filthy . As I say such a shame for a property that could be all 5* reviews. Perhaps agents should visit and look at this property. Hide

Fabulous location. Loads of space. Cottage honestly needs some attention as a little tired especially decking and garden could be tidier. However as a base was fine.

Dirleton is in a great location, a few minutes walk to restaurants, shops and the seafront. The house is very spacious. It is well equipped for self catering. It has a pleasant decor, is uncluttered, but with plenty of books and games if needed. Lots of seating in different areas, breakfast bar, lounge, dining room and conservatory, as well as ouRead moretside space to sit and enjoy. Parking space is excellent and the garden is fully enclosed. Its a lovely house and a great base from which to explore Saundersfoot and Pembrokeshire. One thing to note is that the bed we used was very hard indeed, which has been mentioned in other reviews. I ignored these previous comments as I like a firm bed, but I regretted it, so I recommend bringing a mattress topper if you like a comfy bed. Sounds like a faff but it is really worth doing, as the house itself is great. We are a couple with dogs, but Dirleton would also be good for a large family or group of friends. Hide

This property has a great location and excellent parking for at least three vehicles, but requires some maintenance and updating.

The cottage was in a good location to explore Saundersfoot. Beds were a little hard. Front room had nice comfy sofas and nice and homely. Plenty of outdoor areas / balconies to sit if weather was good or to have BBQ

It would be a good idea to have a guest book so visitors can advise other guests of great (or not so great) places to go.
