Snaptrip says

Court House in Solva is a characterful cottage praised for its excellent location, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful garden. Guests enjoyed the proximity to walking paths and local amenities. The property's charm and the peaceful setting were frequently mentioned, with many expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness received mixed reviews. Some guests found the property clean and well-managed, while others noted areas in need of a deep clean, with dust and cobwebs mentioned. The inconsistency leads to an average score.

The location is highly praised for its tranquility, proximity to walking paths, local pubs, and the harbour. The scenic surroundings and ease of access to local attractions contribute to a high score.

Comfort had varied feedback. Many found the beds comfortable and the garden relaxing, but some reviews cited uncomfortable lounge seating and a need for new furniture. The balance of opinions results in an above-average score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen. However, maintenance issues like plumbing noise and a loose showerhead were noted. The mix of positive and negative feedback leads to a score slightly above average.

While the detailed house manual and well-equipped kitchen suggest thoughtfulness, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would guarantee a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

About this property

This 200 year old character, detached, cottage is in the picturesque seaside village of Solva, Pembrokeshire. Just a short walk from this attractive cottage, there are fascinating little shops, galleries, eating places and the harbour which make this a delightful family base. Tucked down below road level, you will be charmed as soon as you see this stone cottage. Inside there is a well-equipped kitchen and a character-filled sitting room and dining area with some old original beams and a warming woodburner to make cooler evenings really cosy. Narrow winding stairs lead you to three comfy bedrooms where you can enjoy a good night’s sleep after superb days out. The family bathroom is also on this floor and for more flexibility there is also a cloakroom downstairs. On cooler days you can also enjoy this peaceful area sitting in the lovely bright conservatory, enjoying a refreshing drink. Outside, there is a small front garden and a sunny rear garden next to the river where children can enjoy outside games and older ones, a relaxing place to listen to the slow running river and the birds overhead. You could spend your whole stay in this beautiful village with maybe some walks along the famous coastal path to spot birds and animals, or explore further afield by taking your boat out.

A Telegraph article in May 2023 noted the town of Solva to be one of Britain’s 30 greatest villages.

Solva has a wonderful charm and an experience for anyone who loves the sea. There are numerous excellent pubs and restaurants to try with exquisite waterfront views , there's also scenic coastal paths for everyone to enjoy" Short drives will take you to some stunning sandy beaches for relaxing days, build a few sandcastles or do some surfing. St David's Cathedral in the town of St. David’s, the smallest city in the UK, is also not a visit to be missed. Whatever you do on your days out, from visits to theme parks, discovering historic castles or just finding a quiet place to soak up the scenery, your return to this charming cottage will top the day.

A superb village around the water inlet where boats can be launched and walks along the dramatic coast path will be a delight any time of the year. This pretty little village may be small but offers friendly pubs serving good food, a fish and chip shop, quirky gift shops, art galleries and a superb woollen mill shop where special gifts can be bought to remember your stay in Wales.

    The house has a great atmosphere and was very clean. The surroundings are fantastic!

  • Gavin

    It had everything we needed, including the use of Netflix which kept the kids happy! It's in a great location too, only a few minutes walk from Solva Harbour. Some reviews mentioned the noisy pipes but this wasn't an issue for us. There are instructions on how to mitigate the noise so it's not an issue. Plus the kids found it funny anyway! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again soon.

    Lots of damp appreciate building is old but maybe needs looking at. Kitchen door was difficult to open and close due to sticking on floor.
