Tenby Dream Cottage: Woodfield House Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because we're about to dive headfirst into the delightful, slightly chaotic, and hopefully incredibly informative world of "Tenby Dream Cottage: Woodfield House Awaits!" Let's be honest, trying to cram all these details into a review is like trying to herd squirrels. But we'll give it a shot, right? And hey, this isn't some corporate brochure - it's the raw, unfiltered truth.
First Impressions & The Accessibility Angle (Important Stuff First!)
Right, so, Accessibility. This is HUGE, folks. Woodfield House claims to be accessible. Okay, let's see what that really means. They list "facilities for disabled guests" – that often translates to a ramp somewhere, but what about maneuvering inside? Are the hallways wide enough for a wheelchair? Are the bathrooms genuinely adapted? I need to know the nitty-gritty details. Did they mention the elevator? Gotta have an elevator, or else it's a no-go for some. This needs further investigation from my end - I'll definitely be contacting the hotel to clarify this! They mention "CCTV in common areas" and "CCTV outside property" which is cool, always good for security, but let's be clear - accessibility is paramount.
On-Site Restaurants/Lounges – Fueling the Fun!
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Deep breath! Okay, they've got a restaurant (phew!), a bar, a coffee shop (essential!), and even a snack bar (always a plus for those mid-afternoon cravings). There’s also poolside bar – score! - perfect for those lazy days, cocktail in hand. They offer Breakfast [buffet] and Western/Asian Cuisine in restaurant, as well as 24-hour Room service, and a bar! They also mentions A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Bottle of water, Breakfast service, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant. Basically, you won't starve, which is the most important part. The vegetarian restaurant aspect and Vegetarian cuisine in restaurant gives some good options.
Relaxation & Rejuvenation - OR, "Help! I need a Break!"
Now, onto the good stuff! The "Things to do, ways to relax" section is where Woodfield House really starts to shine. They've got a Pool with view - YES! That’s the dream. An outdoor swimming pool - even better. They say spa! (deep breath!). They've got Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom! My inner stress ball is already melting. There's also a Gym/fitness… Now, I’m not a gym bunny but hey- I'll hit the gym if the sauna is good. And we’re talking Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor], and Pool with view.
Cleanliness & Safety - The Post-Pandemic Reality Check
Let's be real, after everything that's gone on, cleanliness is key. Woodfield House has the usual suspects: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. They also have a Doctor/nurse on call, and First aid kit. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available! Excellent. That's a huge relief.
The Room Itself - My Little Fortress (or Hopefully!)
So what about that private space? They say: Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. This is what I call comprehensive. Definitely an additional toilet and even a scale! Score (or maybe not, haha!). They have Non-smoking rooms thank god, and I'm very into the blackout curtains. You can't overestimate the importance of a good blackout curtain!
Internet – Because We’re All Addicted (and It’s Necessary)
Hallelujah! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!. They also list Internet, Internet [LAN], and Internet services. This is the modern world, people. We need Wi-Fi. My phone is basically an extension of my arm.
Services and Conveniences - The Good Stuff!
Okay, so they've got a Concierge, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Daily housekeeping. That's the standard. They also have Facilities for disabled guests, which, again, needs more digging. They have Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop for the impulsive shopper in all of us. They are offering, Invoice provided, Ironing service, On-site event hosting and offering outdoor and indoor venue for special events. They also offer a Business facilities, cash withdrawal, elevator, meeting/banquet facilities, and safe deposit boxes.
For the Kids (If You're Into That)
They list Babysitting service (potential lifesaver!), Family/child friendly, and Kids meal.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy?
They have Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, and Valet parking.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Honest Truth (Rambling Time!)
Okay, so I’m scrolling through this list, and honestly, I feel like I’m writing more of a technical manual than a review! I’m exhausted just reading all those amenities. This is when you want to say, "Forget the list! What’s the vibe?" And that, my friends, is the million-dollar question. See, sometimes the best hotels are the ones that surprise you, the ones that aren’t perfect but are genuinely charming. I’m imagining cozy fireplaces in the lobby (hopefully!), maybe even a resident cat (fingers crossed!). I'd bet my bottom dollar that that pool with view is glorious, picture-perfect! But does it open up after the day ends? Do they have an evening lighting system? I need to know, I NEED to know!
I'm also imagining a few inevitable imperfections. Maybe the Wi-Fi is spotty in some corners of the room. Maybe the breakfast buffet is, well, buffet-like. Maybe the staff could use some extra charm lessons (though, let's be honest, I probably need them too!). But isn't that part of the fun? It makes for much better stories!

Escape to Paradise: Stunning Seaside Flat in Rosolina Mare, Italy
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your run-of-the-mill, perfectly-polished travel itinerary. This is a messy, beautiful, utterly human account of my trip to Woodfield House in Tenby, Wales. Consider yourselves warned.
Woodfield House - Tenby: An Itinerary of Messy Glory (and Possibly Regret)
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (aka "Where Did I Park? And Seriously, Is That Rain?")
Morning (ish - let's be real, it was closer to noon): Arrive in Tenby. After a grueling four-hour drive, I managed to find Woodfield House. The photos… they lied. Kidding! (Mostly). It's gorgeous. Seriously, straight out of a twee magazine. Found the key, and the first thought: "Oh sweet mother of pearl, I have to unpack everything?!"
- Anecdote: The satnav (bless its robotic heart) decided to take me on a tour of the "Tenby's Narrowest Streets and Where You'll Definitely Scrape Your Car" tour. Let's just say… parking involved strategic maneuvers and a deep, abiding fear of dents.
Afternoon: Unpacking. A Herculean task fueled by sheer determination and a dodgy playlist. The cottage is stunning though. I mean, a real proper cottage, like something out of a Beatrix Potter book. Though, I'm already regretting my overpacking.
Late Afternoon: A quick walk around Tenby. Gorgeous. Cobblestone streets, colorful houses… and a piercing chill wind that’s threatening to steal my soul. Managed to snag a (slightly overpriced) Welsh cake. Verdict: Delicious, but not worth the impending sugar crash. The rain started. I think I love it here already.
Evening: Fish and chips. Because. Wales. The chippy I went to was absolutely packed, but the long queue was worth it. Ate them on the harbour, battling seagulls the size of small children.
Day 2: Coastal Chaos & Cliffside Contemplation (And Almost Losing My Hat)
Morning: Attempt at a leisurely breakfast. Was defeated by the siren song of the sea. Decided to hike the coastal path. "Leisurely" quickly devolved into "slightly terrified".
- Quirky Observation: Welsh sheep are obsessed with staring. Like, intense, soul-piercing stares. I swear one of them was plotting my demise. Or possibly just judging my fashion choices.
Mid-Morning: A bracing, wind-swept walk along the cliffs. The views were breathtaking, truly. Almost lost my hat (and my dignity) to a rogue gust of wind. Saved it! Winner!
Lunch (Sort Of): A picnic lunch of questionable sandwiches and crisps with the incredible view that I spent the morning enjoying. I swear, the air smells different here, fresher somehow.
Afternoon: Attempted to go to Castle Beach. The sand was beautiful, the water was cold, and the tide was out. So, instead of a relaxing paddle, I ended up walking a mile out to sea to get to the water. It was a lovely experience!
Evening: Found a pub. The atmosphere was incredibly warm, and welcoming. I had the best pint of Guinness of my life. The food wasn't half bad either. Went to bed feeling full and content.
Day 3: Day trip to Caldey Island & the Temptation of the Chocolate Factory (AKA the Chocolate Factory is AMAZING)
- Morning: Ferry to Caldey Island. The sea was choppy, and I may have spent the entire journey gripping the rail and silently praying. The island itself? A retreat. Monks, beautiful buildings, and… the most extraordinary chocolate factory I've ever seen. Seriously, they make chocolate everything.
- Emotional Reaction: I nearly wept when I saw the chocolate. Not even joking. My inner child was screaming with joy.
- Mid-Day: Wandered around the island, dodging overly friendly (and possibly hungry) seagulls. Visited the abbey, which was surprisingly peaceful. Bought some (more) chocolate. My bank account is going to hate me.
- Afternoon: Tried a different beach. This one was a lot more sheltered, so it was incredibly relaxing.
- Evening: The most amazing meal at a little restaurant called "The Salt Cellar". Seriously, if you go to Tenby, you must eat there. Then I did something I never do: went to bed early. I actually needed the rest from the previous busy days.
Day 4: Beach Bumming & Existential Angst (and a Disastrous Attempt at Surfing)
- Morning: Woke up to rain. Grrrr. Spent the morning cozily reading.
- Afternoon: Decided to try my hand at surfing. (Or, you know, falling gracelessly into cold water). Booked a lesson.
- Messy Structure: Let's just say my natural aptitude for balance resembles a newborn giraffe. It's an understatement. I spent more time underwater than on the board. However, I loved it.
- Anecdote: A very kind instructor (who must have seen this happen a thousand times and was still smiling) patiently helped me. I'm pretty sure the other surfers were secretly laughing at my struggles. I may or may not have swallowed half the Irish Sea.
- Evening: After my surfer-ness was defeated, I went for a nice warm shower.
- Late Evening: A quiet evening. Took in the sound of the rain. Thinking about life. Wondering if I should just move here.
- Rambling: The thought is so peaceful yet so terrifying. Wales is starting to get under my skin. Maybe I should just stay forever. The thought of leaving is incredibly sad.
Day 5: Farewell Feast & Packing Pains (aka "How Do I Fit Everything Back?")
- Morning: Final walk around Tenby, trying to soak up every last drop of atmosphere. Purchased a ridiculous amount of souvenirs.
- Afternoon: Packing. The ultimate test of my organizational skills (or lack thereof). The bags are overflowing.
- Emotional Reaction: Leaving is bittersweet. I'm tired, sunburnt, and slightly broke, but I don't want to go! This place is truly special.
- Late Afternoon: One last meal. Had a perfect meal.
- Evening: The drive home.
Postscript: The Aftermath
This trip was more than just a vacation; it was an experience. A messy, glorious, slightly chaotic experience. I left Woodfield House with a heart full of memories, a suitcase full of souvenirs, and a renewed love for the simple things. Tenby, you absolute dream. I'll be back. (And next time, I'm bringing a wetsuit).

Tenby Dream Cottage: Woodfield House Awaits! (Or Does It?) - A Messy FAQ
So, is Woodfield House *actually* dreamy? Like, legit?
Okay, so "dreamy" is a strong word. Let's be honest. Remember that Pinterest board with the perfect cottage? Yeah, Woodfield House isn't *that*. It's got a certain...charms-and-quirks vibe. Think more "lived-in-loved-in-by-a-family-who-clearly-drinks-a-lot-of-tea" dreamy. The views from the back garden *are* genuinely stunning. Seriously. I spent an entire afternoon just staring out at the sea, sipping lukewarm tea (more on that later). Was it perfect? Nah. Was it memorable? Absolutely. It's the kind of place where you might find a slightly wonky lampshade or a cupboard door that sticks. And honestly? That's part of its charm. It feels real, not like some show home.
What's the deal with the parking? I've heard horror stories...
Oh, the parking. Right. Okay, brace yourselves. The parking is… well, it’s *Tenby* parking. Which, let's be real, means it's a bit of a gamble. Woodfield House has one designated space. The drive is tight. My husband, bless his heart, spent about 20 minutes trying to parallel park our estate car on arrival. Let's just say there were a few choice words uttered involving the phrase "bloody Welsh roads." But hey, he got there eventually! (And afterward, rewarded himself with a celebratory pint down the pub.) My advice? Pack light, consider a smaller car if you can, and pray to the parking gods. Or just walk. Tenby is beautiful, and you'll appreciate the exercise after all the fish and chips.
I'm travelling with kids. Is this place kid-friendly?
Hmm. Okay, the answer is kinda complicated. There ARE kids! The house *feels* like it’s been filled with noisy, happy children. Lots of space for kids to burn energy (especially that garden!). Though there is a staircase. Personally, I'd say it depends on *your* kids. Mine are chaotic magnets for trouble. There's no stairgate (that I saw), and the furniture might not be bulletproof (but, let me tell you, I've seen my son take down a sofa... so no surprise!). However, the house is warm and welcoming, and really, Tenby is PERFECT for kids. Beaches? Check. Ice cream? Double check. Just… keep an eye on them, yeah? You'll be fine.
Tell me about the kitchen. Is it actually equipped?
Kitchen. Right. The beating heart of any holiday home, isn't it? Let me tell you, the Woodfield House kitchen… well, it's got the basics. It's not a gourmet chef's paradise, mind you, but it's perfectly functional. I cooked a full Sunday roast in there, so it can handle some pressure! The oven was a bit of a mystery at first (the instructions were… well, let's just say they were more of a suggestion than a proper guide). I think it was a bit old, but again, its charm! There's a fridge, a kettle (essential for the aforementioned tea), and enough pots and pans to get you through. Just don't expect everything to be sparkling and brand new. It's more like a well-loved, slightly-worn-around-the-edges kind of kitchen. Perfectly fit for breakfasts or a simple dinner, or, if you are lazy like me, to warm up the leftovers.
Is there Wi-Fi? Because, you know… emails.
Yes! There's Wi-Fi! (Thank the heavens!) It's… adequate. Let's put it that way. Don't expect blistering speeds. You *might* be able to stream something if your life depends on it, but be prepared for the occasional buffering. Perfect for checking emails and maybe posting a cute photo of your dog on the beach. But honestly? Consider it a blessing in disguise. Put your phone away! Embrace the offline life! The beauty of Tenby is *waiting* to be discovered. Go for a walk, eat some ice cream. You'll survive a few days without constant connectivity. I managed, anyhow.
The location? Is it good or is it a trek to everything?
Location, location, location! Woodfield House is pretty darn well placed. It's a pleasant walk into town, maybe 10-15 minutes. It's uphill on the way back (you'll feel it after a big fish and chips, I guarantee it!). But it's walkable. You're close to the beach, to the shops, to the pubs (the pubs are VERY important). You’re central enough to get everywhere that matters, but just far enough away from the main drag that you can enjoy a bit of peace. I loved being able to stroll into town in the morning for a coffee and then pop back to chill in the garden with a book. It’s a definite win on the location front. Especially at sunset. OH MY GOD, the sunsets!
Okay, spill the tea! Any major downsides? Be brutally honest!
Alright, alright, you want the dirt? Fine! The biggest downside? The *potential* for parking hell. Seriously. Plan ahead. The house has a few quirks – a slightly dodgy tap in the bathroom, the aforementioned oven instructions… small stuff, really. Oh, and I wish there'd been blackout curtains. The sunrise is *fierce* in Tenby, and I'm not a morning person. I spent the first morning blinded! But honestly? I'm nitpicking. It's not a luxury hotel. If you're expecting pristine perfection, you're in the wrong place. If, however, you are looking for a place with soul, somewhere you can relax and feel at home, with incredible views and the best beaches in the UK, then Woodfield House is a cracking choice.
Would you go back? Be brutally honest!
Absolutely! I would go back in a heartbeat. Despite the parking (which, let's be honest, I'll be mentally prepared for next time) and the sometimes-sketchy Wi-Fi, I genuinely loved it. The location is perfect. The house is charming and comfortable. And Tenby? Well, Tenby stole my heart. I came home feeling refreshedBook Hotels Now
