What a wonderful welcome we received from Sue and Dave at Woodlands. Our room was just lovely, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. As for breakfast cooked by Sue, well what can I say! It was most definitely the best breakfast we’ve ever eaten. The home made granola, bread and preserves are superb and the cooked breakfast second to none. We will definitely be visiting again and can’t recommend Woodlands highly enough. Thank you both for making our anniversary weekend extra special.

lovely place and the owners are very nice people, rooms are a good size so is the bathroom. parking is on the front driveway, so a bit of a squeeze if you have a big car. Downside is that if you go into the town and down to the beach , it is a very steep hill to and from there. after the first time we chose to drive and pay for parking as it was less tiring.

A wonderful guest house.The hosts Sue and David were most helpful. A most delicious breakfast with a wide choice. Our room was light, spacious and airy with a wonderful view of the sea. The roomand en suite were very well appointed with our very own fridge. A short walk into town (5 minutes). We managed the short hill without a problem. Quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Thank you so much!

The very warm welcome by helpful and kind hosts was the start of a most comfortable week spent in Saundersfoot. The house is clean and well maintained, the beds are really comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious and cooked to order. The garden would have been really nice to while away time in had the weather been better, Saundersfoot itself is delightful, a short walk downhill by road or by beach, and we do recommend a visit to the Heritage Centre. Despite the weather we had, this was a wonderful place to stay and was lovely to come home to every day. Highly recommended.
