The Old Rectory
A beautiful house, perfect for our family of 9. In a lovely area, the children loved the beach at Wiseman's Bridge and at Manorbier. Thank you Lucia, you made us feel so welcome, we had a great time.

Lovely property
Overall we enjoyed the space and the facilities at Crunwere house. There was more than ample plates cutlery etc although the kitchen lacks work surface. There needs to be a dog safe area if possible On the whole a lovely large home and one of the best equipped I’ve stayed in. I must mention when we had an issue with the wasp machine one morning it was replaced by the time we got back from the beach..really superb hosting skills

A trip down memory lane
What a wonderful house to stay in. The photos don't do the property justice. Plenty of room for 10 adults. 8 other family members stayed in Tenby so we gathered in our house for a meal and to play games .... perfect with the glass conservatory next to the kitchen. Very close to the main road so easy to visit other parts of Pembrokeshire, whilst still feeling like you're in the middle-of-nowhere. Lucia responded very quickly to any questions we had. Will definitely consider going back again!

Stunning break away !
This stay was one of our favourite breaks ever. The hosts were unbelievably accomodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The photos do not do this place justice. Lucia and her husband have worked tirelessly to restore this old rectory into a stunning home from home. The history and the decor of the house kept us entertained for hours. Not to mention the efforts by Lucia's husband to make this house so eco friendly. We absolutely loved our stay here . It was not long enough. Next time we will be back for the week. Thankyou so much for having us. Xx

New Years Eve Murder Mystery
From start to finish amazing! Communication with Lucia is instant by text answers everything in detail. The house is amazing and great for large families groups of friends where you can chill quietly or come together for dinner and games night like ourselves in the dining room. Weather wasn't too good and we wanted to relax so took all food with us and didnt venture out, but knowing the area well the location is also amazing just off main highway to all main areas such as Tenby, Saundersfoot, Narbeth etc... It's literally home from home, all the right cooking utensils places etc and enough to fill dishwasher and still have some to use on the rack... Will definitely be visiting again xxxx

Wonderful family holiday
What a great holiday in a fabulous large and atmospheric detached house set in its own grounds with a large driveway and parking for many vehicles. The house was in a quiet rural area but a short drive away from some wonderful coastline and seaside towns and all the amenities one would want. We were 3 generations of the same family, 6 adults and 4 children ranging from 12 to 16. Plus our 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for us all and the rooms were large. The house was well appointed with loads of interesting ornaments/artefacts etc, and very beautiful in a rustic way. It had all the necessary facilities and everything you could need including games. Also, plenty of free logs for the woodburners in 2 of the reception rooms. We had great fun playing hide and seek with the kids both inside and outside the house. I could go on and on about the house and location, but suffice to say we were all bowled over by it and definitely would go back. We did have a couple of problems, not unexpected given the size and age of the property, but the owner was easy to contact and extremely helpful and acted straight away. This was not a luxurious house, and in some parts tired looking, but very comfortable both in the reception rooms and the bedrooms, with the beds being excellent. Indeed, for a holiday with dogs, this was just perfect, although we would have preferred the downstairs beige carpets to be much darker in colour! . But really it was just brilliant. One could be picky about a few things, but that would be grossly unfair when taking into account the cost. It was extremely good value for money, and the entire family came away with wonderful memories and our visit will never be forgotten. A couple of things worth mentioning. In the property description, it indicated 4 showers. In fact there were 2, one of which was an ensuite down a few steps. The other showers were shower attachments on baths. Also, in the back garden, there was a beautiful studio property close to the main house. This is rented out separately, which was not clear from the listing. We occupied this, so not a problem. The back garden is shared. This could have been a problem if rented out to others because of the dogs. But when rented to the same family, perfect!! Overall and taking into account the price, this merits 10/10 as a holiday destination. Thank you very much!!

Amazing house, with a very homely feel. Owner very welcoming. Spotlessly clean. Only the cooker and not the Aga was available to use, so a little challenging cooking for 11. Very convenient for local attractions. Would highly recommend this property

Great property for a large family
We loved staying at Crunwere House - just perfect for our big family holiday. We had seven adults, three primary-age children, two babies and a dog and there was room for everyone. The house has beautiful sea views and Amroth Beach is a short drive - perfect sandy beach for kids and swimming there was heavenly. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing big meals. Lucia was very responsive and helpful. All-in-all couldn't fault it and hope we can return one day.
