Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"We really enjoyed our Christmas at Rudbaxton Water!"
This is prime location for exploring the coast or you can chill out in the hot tub outside in the amazing garden!
We normally holiday in North Wales but this was worth the trip down South.

"We are a 3 generation family of 8 and the property suited us perfectly."
Chloe and Simon were the most perfect hosts. The house is in a very tranquil location but close enough to Haverford for any essentials. Relaxing in the Hot Tub was a favourite activity after a day exploring the wonderful villages and beaches in the area. Would definitely book again.

"This has been one of the best properties we have stayed in."
The layout was perfect for us as we took our son, his wife and 2 grandchildren and also had our youngest daughter with us. The son and his family had the downstairs rooms and us upstairs. The privacy and size of the garden was great. So much more to see and do so will be back.
The well filled welcome basket was a treat as was the coffee machine

"We spent a lovely 3 days at Rudbaxton waters."
The house was presented extremely well, with lots of attention to detail and very quirky in places.
Beds were comfortable, beautiful kitchen with everything you'd need and beyond! It all seemed very clean and it was clear to see(and smell..lots of air fresheners) that a great deal of effort has been put in to all aspects of the property.
The house is quiet, well screened, and located ideally for visiting beaches, castles and other Pembrokeshire/West Wales attractions.
Unintrusive hosts(Chloe was very friendly and considerate), plans to install an 8-person hot tub shortly which will be great for larger groups!
Overall, very difficult to fault...
Plus...brilliant welcome pack and even treats for the pooch!
Highly recommended!!

"A wonderfully secluded property but with easy links to different parts of Pembrokeshire using the A40."
Extremely well equipped house for family/groups to gather, well thought out and provisioned. The hot tub was tested daily discreetly, by the owners, who organised the visits whilst we were out. Simon and Chloe also provided extra help eg local takeaways/recommendations/recycling info. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack. We hope to visit again!

"We loved this property, every detail had been considered for the comfort of the guests."
The property was spotlessly clean with a gorgeous care package on arrival. The hot tub was maintained to a very high standard. The garden was enclosed and safe, there was enough room for my dog to run around safely. A very short drive to Haverfordwest and a short drive to the coast made it perfect. We also loved the proximity to Llys y Fran country park. Chloe and Simon were extremely helpful and friendly. We would love to stay again ❤️
Thank you so much for this glowing review. It really does mean everything to us that you all enjoyed you stay and had everything you needed. We hope you visit again!

I would support the previous customer review - it really is a lovely property, both inside and out - it has some fantastic features and is of a high spec (kitchen, bathrooms, mattresses, lounge area etc). The enclosed garden and hot tub were very popular. The hosts were exceptional throughout being extremely helpful, considerate and discrete. We would highly recommend and will certainly look to visit again.

"The place was very clean and we really like the decor."
Our hosts Simon and Chloe were very helpful and friendly. They got in contact with us on the day and gave us instructions on how to get into the property. They also gave us recommendations via WhatsApp. The property was even dog friendly (gates around in the garden to fence the dog within the property, not a lot of properties we have been to have done this. The hosts also left us some dog treats and our dog really appreciated this. On arrival, there were some goodies waiting for us, things like beer and crisps and some chocolates, milk, butter, and crumpets. The property has plenty of other things included our favorite was a sage coffee machine with beans already in the grinder and of course the ready-to-use hot tub. They also had plenty of board games to play. It was great to have suites in three of the rooms and the beds were very comfortable to sleep on. Towels were also available. I would 100% recommend it to a large family or friends visiting. I would recommend bringing your own toiletries like shampoo, soap, and toothpaste as it was not available but apart from that the stay was very comfortable.

"Rudbaxton Water is a lovely property and the owners were very welcoming and helpful and responded promptly and positively before and during our stay."
We certainly felt the 'wow' factor when we arrived at the house, which is very aesthetically pleasing, has an attractive decor and rooms that are light and airy. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy and the furnishings are homely and comfortable and there are a number of well thought out stair\safety gates. There is plenty of space (indoors and outdoors) and this was perfect for our large family group made up of 4 adults, 5 children (2 - 17 yrs old) and two dogs. The kitchen and utility area are very well equipped with modern quality appliances and we felt the coffee maker was a real bonus! It was wonderful to relax on the patio and spend time in the hot tub (even on cloudy days) and it was reassuring to see it being maintained on a daily basis by the hosts themselves. The regular cleaning visits were always conveniently timed to suit us and were not at all intrusive. The garden and its surroundings are very pleasant and peaceful and it was lovely to observe lots of different little birds going back and forth from the feeders carefully dotted around. As the property is not set too close to neighbours it was also comforting that the children were able to let off steam without causing too much disturbance to others! We feel that Rudbaxton Water is well positioned to visit beautiful beaches, castles and nearby towns. We especially enjoyed a visit to Narberth which has many interesting shops and a number of different eating places. Thank you Chloe and Simon for all the thoughtful extras you provided - even for our furry friends - the doggy blankets, bowls and treats etc were all very much appreciated and so were all the home staples made available which went a long way to enhance our stay. We sincerely look forward to visiting your lovely holiday home again. Marie, Ron and Family xx
