Cheriton Villa is a lovely property and a great base for visits to Tenby and Saundersfoot. Nice walks nearby to Carew Castle and there's a couple of nice pubs within walking distance! The owners, Maurice and Nicola were great and Maurice was very helpful with suggestions for walks and places to visit. The cottage is lovely but the bathroom lets it down as there is nowhere to hang towels and is a bit cramped. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

Plenty of interesting places to visit within 30 of the property which was a bonus. We would return but inour 70s its getting too far to travel now. Will recommend to others.
