Overview
Property code: OC-92090

This quaint, characterful cottage is located on a quiet side street within 500 yards of Tenby's historic town walls. The town boasts an impressive collection of independent and high street stores, restaurants, coffee shops and bars so there's plenty for all the family. The real jewel in Tenby's town is it's four golden sand beaches - take your pick from North, South, Harbour or Castle beach; all of which can be reached on foot and are within approximately half a mile. Take a boat from the iconic harbour and enjoy a day trip to Caldey Island and can keep an eye out for sea life and birds.

As you enter the property, you are welcomed into an inviting hallway with original Victorian tiles. To the right, you will find your first reception room with two cosy sofas and gas fire, there is a Smart TV to stream your favourite movies or keep up with your favourite programmes after a day at the beach. Back into the hallway, there is a second reception room opposite, with sofa and electric fireplace, leading onto the open-plan kitchen/diner. The traditional cottage layout offers the benefit of larger social spaces and smaller nooks if you'd prefer to spread out. There is also a downstairs toilet. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms - the master room benefits from a king-size bed and large wardrobe space. There is an additional double bedroom and the third bedroom is set out as a twin. The family bathroom completes the property.

The cottage benefits from both front and rear gardens. The rear garden has a courtyard at ground level with steps leading up to a patio area with decorative gravel. The front garden is across the road from the cottage, behind the parking bays. A quaint little spot, with decorative gravel and outdoor seating overlooking a small stream. There's also a small summer house to relax in the shade on warmer days.

Hi, We have recently come back from our holiday at Duck View Cottage, and we were disappointed with the overall property, and felt as though it lacked a lot of care, thought and attention. You rated the property 4/5 stars, however the whole party agreed that it was incredibly generous, and we would personally award it 3/5 at best! In this curRead morerent climate, saving for holidays is hard, and many families are restricted to only one a year due to the cost of living crisis (some not at all). So to work so hard to save for the holiday, it was disappointing that the owners didn't take due care in ensuring the property was up to scratch and gave the guests the experience the online description gave. Firstly, the description states there is a rear garden, however this is not accurate, it's a horrible, unkept, weed covered, unsafe area that cannot be used for anything! The rear garden looks abandoned, with weeds completely overtaking the space. The only outdoor eating space is in the front garden, but this is less than ideal as you then have to cross the road, over the drive and to the garden with all of your food, cutlery, drinks etc. as well as with small children and pets. It makes no logical sense at all. The kitchen is at the rear of the property, so eating outside on the rear would be much more fitting. In the rear garden the hose was just left in the pathway, but there was no where to tidy it away, so it was a real tripping hazard for our 4 year old - no consideration of safety. It really was an issue as it meant that my daughter could not go outside without supervision, something that could have easily been resolved in the owners had put a hook up in place so it could be tidied. There was also a mop that had been left outside full of water for so long that it had started growing life, and it smelt absolutely horrendous. It was incredibly unfair to leave that for the guests to handle. There was also some half eaten corn on the cob left rotting on the floor, old dirty carrier bags, and other bits of litter. It was unsanitary and with the hot weather smelt foul and attracted a lot of flies. I have photographs of all of the above as evidence. The utensils in the kitchen were rusty and unsafe to use, again I have photographs of this. The sink in the downstairs toilet was slow draining and smelt rancid. The pillows in the beds have seen much better days. They are really uncomfortable and we all complained with neck ache from them. There were loads of previous guests belongings left everywhere; have eaten food in the cupboards, toothbrush boxes in the bathroom, half used shampoo bottles, opened packets of biscuits etc. It felt very untidy and also like we were squatting in someone's home rather than a highly priced holiday lodge. Also, there was a lot of dog hair; I appreciate it is a dog friendly cottage, but it felt as though the place had only been surface cleaned. We put our hands down the side of the sofa to fetch the remote and it was full of dog hair and the blanket on the back of the sofa was full of dog hair, just to name a few places. Lastly there were no milk in the fridge - I wholeheartedly appreciate this isn't a mandatory requirement, but if you are leaving teabags and coffee, why not milk? After a 5 hour drive to then have to walk to Sainsbury's, a 1 pint of milk in the fridge would have gone a long way. Having said all of this, the location is perfect, and the cottage does have potential to be an incredibly beautiful and dreamy holiday destination. All of the above issues are not costly to remedy, but do have a significant impact on the property, and do tarnish it. It's a shame that less thought has gone into the place. If you would like the photos which evidence my points, please let me know the appropriate email address and I can send them over. With all of the above, I do feel as though we were overcharged for the property. The value should be reconsidered, the description also corrected, along with the review rating so other guests do not experience the same disappointment. I look forward to hearing your response. Thanks Sara Hide

Lovely cottage, great location, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The back garden doesn't work great for dogs as it's unsecured at the top and no there's back garden furniture, though there is a nice garden at the front by the river across the street.

The cottage itself was lovely, it was comfortable and had everything needed. We also were very pleased we were able to take our 3 dogs with us. The items mentioned are more about the housekeeping of the cottage, the attention to details in the upkeep of the place. Many thanks for the stay

A beautiful cottage, very well presented and very clean. This was our second visit and really enjoyed our stay. Six adults and two medium dogs accommodated with ease. Having three parking spaces makes this property a jewel. We can go out and return and park without any parking worries. We have young dogs, so the rear garden is tricky due to low fenRead moreces and walls to the rooves to the properties. Older or smaller dogs would be fine. The front garden is also lovely for peaceful picnics. Hide

A lovely cottage, warm and comfortable, home from home. Good location with easy access to beaches and the town. We love Tenby and have been coming for 50years staying at a variety of apartments and cottages. Duck View has the advantage of a pretty front garden where ducks and swans can be seen passing by on the stream.

Duck View Cottage is well equipped, tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished. Whilst it enjoys a quiet location with no through traffic and its own three car park spaces it is only a ten minute walk from the town centre. Sainsburys Supermarket is a five minute walk away. An ideal holiday home.
