Saundersfoot Paradise: Stunning 3-Bed Apartment with Garden View!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Saundersfoot Paradise: Stunning 3-Bed Apartment with Garden View! and let me tell you, this ain't your grandma's hotel review. This is the real deal, the messy, beautiful, slightly-too-long-but-hey-I'm-passionate-about-it kind of review.
First Impressions: The Garden View – Honestly, It Made Me Weep (in a Good Way)
Right, so, "Stunning 3-Bed Apartment with Garden View!" – the name practically screams "idyllic escape," doesn't it? And, you know what? It mostly delivers. Let's be honest, I've stayed in places where the "garden view" was a slightly overgrown patch of weeds. Not here. This garden? It's legit. Lush, green, bursting with life. I swear, I spent the first hour just staring out the window, sipping my complimentary tea (yes, there's complimentary tea!), feeling the stress of the world melt away. It was so peaceful, I almost cried. (I'm a sucker for a good view, okay?) The "Stunning" part? Yeah, it's earned.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag (Let's Be Real)
Okay, let's get the slightly less rosy bits out of the way. Accessibility. This is where things get a little… complicated. The listing doesn't explicitly shout "Wheelchair Accessible," and that's a flag. I’m not an expert on accessibility, but I'd strongly suggest contacting the property directly if accessibility is a key factor for you. Do they have ramps? Elevators? Accessible bathrooms? Facilities for disabled guests are listed, but the devil's in the details. I'm seeing Elevator listed, so that's a good start, but confirmation is key.
Internet – Praise Be to Free Wi-Fi!
Thank the internet gods! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! I need my internet. I'm a digital nomad, okay? I'm always working, and the thought of paying extra for Wi-Fi makes me want to scream. The Wi-Fi was solid, too. No buffering nightmares while I was trying to upload my masterpiece (ahem, a blog post). Internet [LAN] is listed, so maybe you can be even more connected if you want, but I was perfectly happy with the wireless. Internet services are presumably available, but, again, I didn't need to use them.
Cleanliness and Safety – Feeling Safe and Sound
Okay, this is where Saundersfoot Paradise really shines. In this post-pandemic world, Cleanliness and safety is HUGE. They're taking it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere, and rooms sanitized between stays – it all adds up to peace of mind. I felt genuinely safe. The staff trained in safety protocol were also helpful. They weren't hovering, but they were clearly aware and ready to help. I saw Smoke alarms, Fire extinguisher, and CCTV in common areas, and CCTV outside property. Nice.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Nom Nom Nom!
Right, let's talk food. This is where I can get a little… enthusiastic. The apartment itself has a kitchen and tableware items sanitized, which is a godsend. I love to cook, so that was a major win. But let’s say I’m feeling lazy? There is Room service [24-hour]. Breakfast in room is also an option. Then there's the restaurants and bars on-site, and the Poolside bar. I did have a Coffee/tea in restaurant and a Desserts in restaurant. The food quality was pretty decent, and the drinks were strong, which is always a win in my book.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Spa Day, Anyone?
Okay, here's the fun part. This place is designed for relaxation. They have a Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage, and even a Body scrub and Body wrap. Now, I'm not usually a spa person, but… I indulged. I got a massage. It was heavenly. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I walked out feeling like a new person. The Pool with view looked amazing, but I didn't have time to swim. I also didn't see any Fitness center or Gym/fitness, but I'm not the biggest fan of exercise on vacation, so it didn't bother me.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Make a Difference
This is where Saundersfoot Paradise really shines. The little things, you know? Daily housekeeping? Yes, please! Laundry service? Amazing. Dry cleaning? Even better. They also have a Concierge, a Cash withdrawal service, a Convenience store (perfect for late-night snacks), and Luggage storage. They had a Doorman and a Front desk [24-hour]. They think of everything.
For the Kids – Family Friendly, But Maybe Not Babysitting Friendly
While this place is generally Family/child friendly, there doesn't seem to be Babysitting service. I didn't travel with kids, so I didn't investigate this deeply.
Available in All Rooms – Comfort and Convenience Galore
Okay, let's quickly run through the in-room amenities. Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, 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. That's a lot of good stuff. The Additional toilet was a nice touch, and the Interconnecting room(s) available would be great for families.
Getting Around – Easy Peasy
Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], and Taxi service are available. I drove, so the free parking was a huge bonus. They also offer Airport transfer, which is handy.
My One Tiny Complaint (Because I Have to Have One)
Okay, here's my nitpick. It's minor, but it's there. The Bathroom phone seemed a little… unnecessary. But hey, it didn't bother me that much.
In Conclusion: Book It! (But Double-Check the Accessibility)
Saundersfoot Paradise is a winner. The garden view is to die for, the cleanliness is impeccable, the amenities are plentiful, and the overall vibe is pure relaxation. If you're looking for a stress-free escape, this is it. Just double-check the accessibility if that's a concern, and you'll be golden.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… well, it’s my attempt at a holiday in Saundersfoot, and knowing my track record, it's gonna be a glorious, slightly chaotic mess. We're talking Pencw Garden View - 3 Bed Apartment, Saundersfoot, Wales. Sounds fancy, right? Let's see if it lives up to the hype.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Welsh Pub Crawl (Attempted)
14:00 - Arrival & Apartment Shenanigans: Okay, so the drive was… eventful. Let's just say my sat-nav has a vendetta against me, and we ended up navigating some of the narrowest lanes known to humankind. I swear, I saw a sheep glare at me. Anyway, finally, finally we arrive! Pencw Garden View. The photos online were stunning, of course. Let's see if reality matches up.
- First Impressions: The apartment is… well, it’s got potential. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Gosh! The sea! The sky! I could cry (happy tears, hopefully). The furniture? Slightly… dated. But hey, it’s clean! And there’s a balcony! I immediately claim it as my throne.
- Unpacking…ish: I start unpacking. "Start". My suitcase is a black hole of questionable choices. I'm pretty sure I overpacked, as always. Where's the wine opener? This is a crisis. Found it! Crisis averted.
16:00 - Saundersfoot Exploration (and the desperate search for food): Right, time to hit the town. The kids, bless their souls, are already demanding ice cream. Saundersfoot seems lovely! Quaint. Picturesque. And hungry. We wander along the harbour, marveling at the boats. Then, disaster strikes.
- The Ice Cream Incident: The first ice cream shop we find is CLOSED. Closed! The betrayal! The heartbreak! The children's wails could probably be heard in Cardiff. We rally, we persevere, and eventually, we find another shop. Victory! The kids are happy. I am happy. Life is good.
- Pub Crawl, Take One (and Fail): The plan was a leisurely pub crawl, soaking in the local atmosphere. We start at The Kookabarra. Lovely pint. The atmosphere is great. But then… the kids. Whining. Tiredness. The allure of the apartment and the Netflix beckons. We manage one pub. We are pathetic.
19:00 - Dinner & Evening Recovery: Fish and chips from the local chippy, eaten on the balcony, watching the sunset. Utter bliss. Except for the seagulls. Those feathered fiends are relentless! I swear, one tried to steal my chips right out of my hand. Bedtime.
Day 2: Beach Day Bliss (and the sand-in-everything experience)
09:00 - Breakfast & Beach Prep: The sun is shining! Breakfast is a chaotic affair of cereal, toast (burnt, naturally), and strong coffee. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this holiday thing. Now, the beach! Packing for a beach day is a military operation. Sunscreen, towels, buckets, spades, snacks, drinks… the list goes on.
10:00 - Saundersfoot Beach Invasion: The beach is gorgeous! Golden sand, gentle waves, and a whole host of screaming children (including my own). We find a good spot, set up camp, and the chaos begins.
- Sand, Sand Everywhere: The sand. Oh, the sand. It's in our shoes, in our hair, in our everything. I'm pretty sure I'll be finding grains of sand in my suitcase for years to come. The kids are having a blast, building sandcastles, splashing in the waves.
- The Great Bucket and Spade Debacle: Let’s talk about the bucket and spade. The bucket is too small, the spade keeps breaking, and the entire construction process is a masterclass in frustration. But, hey, the kids are learning about resilience, right? (I'm telling myself that to stay sane).
- The Ocean, My Friend: The water is freezing! But refreshing. I brave a quick dip. I emerge, shivering, but feeling alive. The sun warms me up. I feel a sense of overwhelming, wonderful peace.
13:00 - Lunchtime on the Sand: We eat our sandwiches, which are now mostly sand-wiches. No complaints from the kids. They're too busy playing. I'm too busy relaxing.
15:00 - Beach Departure & Home Sweet Home: We drag ourselves, sandy and exhausted, back to the apartment. Showers are a must.
17:00 - Afternoon Relaxation (and the Great Book Attempt): I'm determined to read a book. I settle down on the balcony with a glass of wine. The kids are (miraculously) occupied. I manage to read… three pages. Distracted by the view, the sounds of the sea, and the constant need to referee sibling squabbles.
19:00 - Dinner, Round Two: We're going to try and be civilized tonight. Pizza. Maybe a movie. Maybe even a second, successful, pub visit. Wish me luck.
Day 3: Tenby and the Castle Conundrum (and the near-disaster)
09:00 - Tenby Bound: Tenby! The jewel of the Pembrokeshire coast! We load up the car (again), and attempt to navigate the winding roads.
10:30 - Tenby Arrival & Parking Panic: Parking in Tenby is a nightmare. I swear, I spent 20 minutes circling, watching people walk slowly into spots I desperately wanted. Finally, success! A spot! We park. We celebrate.
11:00 - Tenby Exploration: Tenby is stunning! Cobbled streets, colourful buildings, a beautiful harbour. We wander around, taking in the sights. I buy a postcard. I feel a pang of guilt that I haven't written any yet.
12:00 - Castle Headaches: We decide to visit Tenby Castle. The kids are excited. I am… less enthusiastic. This is where things go slightly pear-shaped.
- The Castle Climb (and the Near-Death Experience): The climb up to the castle is steeper than it looks. The kids are running ahead, of course. I'm trying to keep up, while also dodging other tourists. Then, disaster strikes! My foot slips on a loose rock. I stumble. I flail. I almost go tumbling down the hill. I grab onto a conveniently placed railing. I am alive. Just. My heart is hammering. I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes.
- The Aftermath: We continue the castle visit, but I'm shaken. I'm also covered in dirt. We take some photos. We leave. The castle is pretty, but all I can think about is the near-death experience.
14:00 - Lunch in Tenby (and the Seagull Incident, Part Two): We find a lovely little cafe for lunch. The food is delicious. The seagulls are back. They are relentless. One actually swooped down and tried to steal a chip from my plate. The audacity!
16:00 - Ice Cream (Again) and Tenby Departure: Ice cream! We end the Tenby adventure with ice cream. We head back to Saundersfoot, exhausted but happy.
19:00 - Pizza (again, I know) and Early Night: Pizza. Netflix. Bed. I think I need it.
Day 4: Coastal Path Walk (and the unexpected beauty)
- 10:00 - Coastal Path Adventure: Today, we're tackling a section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. I'm a bit apprehensive. I'm not exactly a seasoned hiker.
- 10:30 - The Walk Begins (and the constant need to pee): The path is beautiful! The views are incredible! The kids are complaining. I, on the other hand, am loving it. The sea, the cliffs, the fresh air… It's breathtaking. Except, I need the toilet. I hold it in.
- 12:00 - The Breathtaking Views (and the near-disaster of the bladder): We stop at a viewpoint. The scenery is spectacular. I can see for miles. My bladder, however, is screaming. I can't hold it anymore. I dash behind a bush. (Sorry, nature).
- 13:00 - Picnic & Coastal Delights: We find a sheltered spot for a picnic. Sandwiches, crisps, and juice boxes. The kids are finally enjoying themselves. The sun is shining. The sea is sparkling. I feel a deep sense of peace.
- 15:00 - Coastal Path Completion & Apartment Retreat: We complete our section of the coastal path. We head back to the apartment, tired but exhilarated.
- **17:0
Saundersfoot Paradise: You *REALLY* Want to Know, Huh? (FAQ -ish)
Is Saundersfoot Paradise *actually* paradise? Because, you know, marketing...
Okay, okay, let's be real. Paradise? Well, it's not *Eden*. Unless Eden had a slightly leaky faucet and a persistent seagull problem (more on that later). But honestly? It's damn close. I spent a week there, and by day three, the stress of, you know, *life*, just melted away. The garden view? Spectacular. Seriously. Picture it: morning coffee, birds chirping, the sun warming your face... pure bliss. Then you realize you're still in your pajamas and haven't brushed your teeth. But still, bliss. So, paradise-adjacent? Absolutely. Paradise-lite? Maybe. Paradise with a side of "did I lock the car?" Definitely.
What's the deal with the "stunning garden view"? Is it just a few scraggly bushes?
Scraggly bushes? HELL NO. Okay, maybe a *few* scraggly bits, but mostly, it's lush. Think rolling green lawns, vibrant flowerbeds (the roses were INSANE), and trees just begging you to string up a hammock (which, sadly, I didn't). I spent a solid hour one afternoon just staring out the window, watching a squirrel try to bury a nut. He failed. Repeatedly. It was the most exciting thing that happened to me all day. And the view *changes*! The light shifts, the clouds dance... it's like a living painting. Except, you know, with squirrels. And occasionally, a rogue dog walker. But mostly, it's stunning. Promise.
Is it really a 3-bed apartment? Are the bedrooms ridiculously small?
Yes! Three bedrooms. And no, they weren't the size of broom closets. Okay, one was a *little* cozy, but it's perfect for a kid or, you know, someone who enjoys a good nap. The main bedroom? Glorious. Huge bed, plenty of space to wander around, and a window with... wait for it... another amazing view! I actually found myself *looking forward* to going to bed. Which, as a chronic insomniac, is a minor miracle. The second bedroom was perfectly fine too. It's well-equipped to handle a family.
Tell me about the location. Is it a hike to get anywhere?
Location, location, location! Saundersfoot itself is adorable. The apartment is conveniently located near the beach. You can literally smell the sea air. The walk to the shops and restaurants? Easy peasy. Five minutes, tops. The beach? Maybe a ten-minute stroll, depending on how distracted you get by the ice cream shop. Which, trust me, you WILL get distracted by. And the coastal path? Oh my god. Do it. Just... do it. Prepare for some serious views, and maybe pack a sandwich. I got lost once, but in the best possible way. Ended up stumbling upon a hidden cove and feeling ridiculously smug.
Is it family-friendly? We've got kids, and chaos is our middle name.
Family-friendly? Absolutely. I didn't have kids with me, but I *saw* families there, and they looked like they were having a blast. The apartment has plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There’s a park nearby. The beach is practically on your doorstep. There's a play area. And, most importantly, there's an escape hatch for parents (the garden!). Just be warned: seagull vigilance is paramount. They're like tiny, feathered ninjas, always on the lookout for unattended snacks. I learned that the hard way. Lost a whole bag of crisps. Gutted.
What about parking? Is it a nightmare like in some coastal towns?
Okay, parking. Let's be honest, this is a BIG DEAL. I've spent hours circling around seaside towns, slowly losing my mind. Saundersfoot Paradise? Surprisingly good. There's a designated parking space! Seriously. You don't realize how valuable that is until you've had to park three blocks away and lug all your luggage in the pouring rain. It's not *right* outside the door, but it's close enough. And after a day of exploring, you'll be grateful for any parking spot.
Any downsides? Come on, it can't be *perfect*.
Alright, alright, here's the (slightly) bad stuff. The leaky faucet. It dripped. Constantly. Drove me slightly bonkers at first. Then I got used to it. It's part of the charm, right? The seagull situation... that's a whole other level. They're relentless. I swear, one of them tried to steal a sausage roll right out of my hand. The wifi was a little patchy at times. And there's that "cozy" bedroom (but honestly, it's fine). Oh, and the stairs to the apartment. Not a dealbreaker, but if you have mobility issues, it's something to consider. But overall? Minor quibbles. Seriously. The good far outweighs the bad.
Would you go back? Honestly.
In a heartbeat. Absolutely. Without a doubt. I'm already checking my calendar. I'm dreaming of that garden view, that beach, and yes, even the pesky seagulls. It was a proper escape. A chance to recharge. And, let's be honest, a chance to eat an embarrassing amount of ice cream. So, yeah. Go. Book it. You won't regret it. Just... watch out for those seagulls. And maybe pack some earplugs for the dripping faucet. But seriously, go.
