The lodge's location is highly regarded for its proximity to the beach and local attractions. Despite some concerns about the accuracy of the beach's distance and occasional noise from nearby roads, the location is generally seen as ideal for a beach holiday and exploring the area.
Guests consistently describe the lodge as comfortable, spacious, and well-furnished, providing a 'home away from home' experience. Comfortable beds and a relaxing outdoor decking area contribute to the high comfort levels reported.
The lodge is equipped with a range of facilities that guests appreciate, including a well-equipped kitchen and a large TV. However, there are several mentions of Wi-Fi issues and suggestions for additional items, indicating that while facilities are generally good, there is scope for enhancement.
While guests have mentioned receiving a bottle of wine and prompt responses from the owner, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.
About this property
Tucked away in a desirable position overlooking Pendine Sands, on the grounds of Pendine Sands Holiday Park, rests this wonderfully contemporary lodge, 69 The Paddocks. Set across one level and enjoying a sociable open-plan layout, on-site facilities and close proximity to the coast, 69 The Paddocks makes an excellent choice for a family retreat to Wales. Off-road parking for two cars greets you at the foot of this charming abode, making unloading your belongings and getting settled for the duration of your trip an easy task! Stepping inside, you'll be lost for words at the contemporary interior of the open-plan living space, thoughtfully laid out with a well-equipped kitchen, complete with an elegant island, a dining table with seating for six and a sumptuous corner sofa gathered in front of the 75" television. Kick off your shoes and enjoy a moment of peace as your favourite show plays on the television, where you can pick the vibrant mood lighting to your desired ambiance. Uncork a bottle of wine and perch at the breakfast bar as the designated chef gets to work on rustling up a hearty meal, before gathering together with your loved ones at the nearby table to indulge. In the warmer months, carry the conversation outdoors and soak in the last of the evening rays with a sociable seat on the decked veranda, and if you're not ready for the fun to end, visit the on-site club house to enjoy a spot of entertainment. When sleep calls, you'll find three beautifully-designed bedrooms, with two twins and a double to choose from, with the latter benefiting from access to its own private en-suite. In the morning, enjoy a leisurely wake up with a blissful soak in the tub before heading to the shores of Pendine Sands to begin the day's coastal adventure. Be sure to pack your bucket and spade and spend the afternoon building sandcastles with the little ones, or feel the glistening waters trickle between your toes as you paddle the shores, watching the world go by across the horizon. The facilities on-site at Pendine Sands Holiday Park offer fun to be had, whatever the weather; make a splash with a dip in the indoor swimming pool, or test your luck on the penny slots in the games room! If you fancy a break from cooking, you can even head to the on-site restaurant to indulge in a delicious bite to eat, or take the short stroll into the heart of Pendine to find a handful of cafes, pubs and restaurants, sure to suit all tastes and budgets! Guests looking for a change of scenery can peruse the grounds of the National Trusts Colby Woodland Garden, stretching eight acres of vibrant wildflowers, walled gardens and towering woodland. Keep little ones entertained with a visit to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, where you can expect thrills on the fairground rides or come face-to-face with exotic and farmyard animals, whilst Oakwood Theme Park, resting further inland, may be better suited to the big kids of the group! With all of this and more, choose 69 The Paddocks as your base from which to uncover the delights of Wales!

We booked a 3 bed lodge so we could choose where to sleep, only the main bed was made up, the other singles were left unmade and nothing like the photos shown on line, it also looked like it had not been cleaned as it had hair and dust everywhere, we had to hoover ourselves. The on-suite shower was constantly running hot so you risked burning yourself also the rubber strip from the shower door was broken and just left propped up in the shower. The Lodge unfortunately borders a main road, which is used as a race track, there is another road along the other side of it and a foot path for the park running along the front of the lodge, so whenever people came back from the pub/show bar late at night it could be quite noisy, not ideal as this set the dog off barking. The decking was a lovely sun trap and furniture nice to sit out on but on the whole we were disappointed as this is not Sykes usual standard.

everything you needed was supplied including comfortable furniture out on the decking to relax on. instruction booklets were supplied for everything in the lodge except the combined washer/dryer (having never used one before I wasn't able to use the machine provided-but as I was on holiday I decided the washing could wait anyway lol)) the lodge is situated just metres away from main reception, and a very short walk to the local shops and takeaways. Also just a few minutes walk to the arcade and swimming pool and the main Club house where we enjoyed the entertainment provided and even had a game of bingo. The beach is wonderful and just over a 5 minute walk from the lodge, and if you've got a car then take a trip into Tenby itself for a great day out, it's beautiful. I'd definataly stay here again and have recommended it already to others. The owner-Elaine sent me a welcome message on our journey to the lodge explaining everything and it gave us assurance too that she was available if we had any concerns or problems during out stay, but we didn't as the holiday and the lodge was perfect.
