Rock Villa rocks

Fabulous large house with quirky character and everything you need for a home from home. Easy access to the beach 15 mins to south beach, 40 mins to north beach. Owners have really thought about every little detail and the welcome hamper was such a nice touch. Amazing stay and would definitely return. Thoroughly recommend!

Perfect stay

House is brilliant. I’d argue the photos don’t do it justice. A real home from home. All Home comforts. We had a brilliant, relaxing time, strolling to the beach and driving to others close by. Close drive to handy amenities but very quiet and peaceful location. Kate was super responsive and helpful. We are sure to return!

Weekend break

We had a fabulous stay at Rock Villa, the house was clean, with some rooms modern and others quirky which was great. We arrived to a Welsh basket, and fresh flowers which was a lovely touch. Kate the owner was absolutely amazing getting back to me ASAP with any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend and hopefully book again, thank you Kate 😊

Perfect place for all the family!

We were 3 generations aged 7-75 and 2 dogs - everyone loved our stay in Penally! Rock Villa is even more lovely in real life than it looks in the pictures. A fabulous house in a lovely village location - dog walks on the beach, nice pubs in easy walking distance, Heatherton’s world of activities just down the road for the kids! The table tennis table got a lot of use too. Kate is a fabulous, thoughtful host! Can’t recommend Rock Villa enough.

Large, quirky holiday home

A very comfortable, interesting and eclectic holiday home with everything a family or group of friends needs for a successful holiday. The generous box of luxury goodies on arrival were particularly welcome, as was the well stocked kitchen, making holiday cooking much easier. The views from the house were amazing, and proximity to the beach an advantage, especially with dog walks in mind. Penally has a lot to offer, with three pubs nearby and we made use of the local bus and train service into Tenby several times. Overall a lovely holiday home for all, thank you.

Wonderful stay!!

We had a wonderful stay with our friends for the Ironman Wales weekend September 2019. House was beautiful and decorated so well; it was full of character. Just wished we’d been able to enjoy it more but were out and about a lot. So we definitely want to come back! House was stocked so well with everything you could think of; was like home from home. Thank you so much to Kate for the welcome pack too; went down really well.

The Pickles Family

We loved this house which was ideal for our family of 9, - 7 adults and 2 children. Very spacious with outstanding views across the golf course to the sea. The owner responded promptly to any questions we had. We explored the area as much as we could in a week and found beautiful beaches, sandy yet with rockpools at low tide, dramatic coastline with very interesting birdlife, walks, fantastic Tenby golf course. The list goes on. Penally Abbey Hotel restaurant, two minutes walk away, was a wonderful place to celebrate two very special birthdays in the family. All in all it was a lovely holiday and we will return one day.

Everything needed for a comfortable family holiday

Everything was very easy and simple. Check in was straight forward and contact with the host was excellent. The house was kitted out with EVERYTHING you need - literally had dish washer tablets, all the pots and pans, oil, salt and pepper, milk, plastic bowls and plates for kids, high chair, travel cot, cleaning supplies, toilet rolls, bin bags etc etc. Like other reviews have said, you feel at home straight away. Towels supplied and beds were made up really nice. There is no garden but right outside the front door there’s a patch of green with a big tree and our kids loved running around exploring after dinner to burn off steam before bed. It’s on three storeys so there’s quite a bit of going up and down the stairs. Living room is on first floor with a terrific view of the sea. Train station is an easy 3min walk and the train takes 2 minutes to get in to Tenby! We were 4 ladies with 5 children between us. Used the nice big dining table for breakfasts and dinner. Everything worked out perfectly, so it definitely deserves 5 stars

Wonderful stay

We stayed with three children under five and the place was great for them with baby gates on the landings (one at the bottom of the stairs would be useful if money was no option) The house was huge and was well set up for a large family. The kitchen was fitted with simple basics that are usually forgotten in such stays (milk, oil, salt pepper etc) which saved a trip to the shops. The welcome basket s also a nice touch!

Lovely Penally

A very sunny half term spent with our children and my parents. Double daily dog walks on the beach followed by a pint in the pub and either a takeaway or a home cooked meal in the very well equipped kitchen. Decorated for Halloween and a birthday and it was so lovely! Lego was a hit, and he kids loved having a room to themselves too. We borrowed the wetsuits and the kids and husband swam in the sea and were joined by a wild seal! Excellent holiday!

Fantastic Rock Villa at Penally

What a great find! Rock Villa is perfect for a stay by the sea. Our party age ranged from 22 to 87 and everyone loved their stay. House is conveniently located for those able, to walk along the beach to Tenby. The views from the lounge and bedrooms of the sea are truly stunning. You could just sit for hours watching the world go by. House decorated to a very high standard with every comfort. Lovely welcome gifts too left in fridge. Cannot thank Kate enough for all her help and quick responses. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic!

We had a really lovely stay at Rock Villa. The house is brilliant for larger groups/families, with lots of space. It has a homely feel with lovely artistic decor and furnishings and amazing views of the coastline. The location is superb, with a short walk to a huge sandy beach providing a lovely walk into Tenby. The train station is a 5 minute walk and offers a quicker route into Tenby without the need to drive and park. There are also a number of beautiful walks from the house. Our family group ranged from age 18 months to 80 years old and everyone enjoyed themselves. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Rock Villa and hope that we are able to return one day!

Space.

If you are a large group of mixed ages you will love the space and large rooms at Rock Villa. Plenty of opportunity to come together and also be apart. Sadly the weather was awful for us - wettest weekend for months. We were unable to get out, but were grateful for the space and the table tennis. If you like relaxed and quirky this is for you. If your prefer modern and minimal it won’t be. House was comfortable and the host provided many of the necessities it is easy to forget when packing eg. Yorkshire teabags, great coffee. Also decorated with balloons and bunting for a 40th birthday - glad we didn’t have to pack those. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Baker

Host profile image
I live in Cardiff with my husband, son and our welsh terrier.We loved renovating the house and now let it as a furnished holiday let for other families to enjoy. We've been holiday letting since 2014.

Why they chose this property

We came to visit friends and walked from Tenby to Penally across South Beach. Stopped for a pint in the Cross Inn and stumbled upon the house with it's for sale sign, we stood on the terrace peered through the windows and were immediately smitten with both the house and particularly the views and tranquil location. The house sits in the heart of the village on the green in front of the 13th century church with far reaching sea views. What's not to love? The village is ideally situated for walking,cycling, sea activities and in a great location to explore the beauty of Pembrokeshire.

What makes this property unique

You arrive at the house and all your worries slip away, it's a house from a bygone age and set in the heart of a beautiful village where you can do lots or nothing at all. We have loved renovating the house as a family and have hopefully done a sympathetic job and kept it in keeping with the character of the village.When we bought the house it had been in the same family for over 100 years and had no heating and electricity only on the ground floor . We hope we have brought the house into the 20th century whilst not losing its charm and history. The house is old school quirky.
