Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as spotless and well-maintained. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness that contributes positively to the overall guest experience.
The location is frequently mentioned as peaceful and ideal for walking and exploring nearby beaches and countryside. Some guests noted the village's quietness and the closure of the local pub, but the proximity to natural attractions offsets these points.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with special mentions of comfy beds and a homely atmosphere. The presence of a fireplace and the provision of wood add to the comfort level, making it a snug retreat.
The cottage is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and internet facilities. However, some guests noted the lack of a local shop and the closure of the village pub, which suggests room for improvement in amenities and maintenance.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts and fresh flowers. While these are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

A walk up the traditional narrow, steep cottage stairs brings you up to the cosy first floor, complete with delightfully bright and airy bedrooms complete with typical cottage-style bed linen and furniture. To the rear of the property there are two courtyards set with sufficient furniture and a barbecue for them summer evenings. St. Ishmaels is a delightful little village in South Wales. Milford Haven sits just over 6 miles away and is one of the more popular Welsh seaside resorts, offering quirky shops and tearooms as well as a beautiful marina and much more. Twenty minutes walk from the property takes you to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path with excellent walking and cycling opportunities to enjoy at any time of the year. A short drive takes you to Martins Haven beach, which is a small pebble beach used as the embarkation point for the Skomer Island boats. This is a great place for watching dolphins, puffins, seals etc, a great place for naturalists to enjoy. A cosy, traditional Pembrokeshire cottage.

It was a perfect base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast and Pauline and Eric were great hosts if we needed anything (good recommendations for places to eat !). The cottage is cosy and had everything we needed to relax after a day exploring. The welcome tin of bara brith and Welsh cakes were much appreciated. We would live to come back again as we still have so many lovely places to visit in the area.
