This is our second year staying here. The house is very well equipped, beds are so comfy. There’s everything you could need. Ann the caretaker is very helpful. Lovely walk round the harbour. The path down to the harbour could benefit from a quick tidy/trim but it didn’t stop us. Love it. We did think about staying next year but the price has gone up so much which is a shame.

The location of the house was stunning! Everything we needed for our stay was there. The grounds were great for exploring with amazing views. The inclusion of books, dvds and games was great when the weather was not so nice. The outdoor shower was perfect for washing after paddle boarding in the harbour!

Carreg yr Eos is a lovely place. It has great views over Fishguard harbour which makes a good walk around the bay, right from the garden gate. It is beautiful both inside and out and has a very real authentic home feel, not just a holiday let. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, the lounge is comfortable, the bedrooms (we only used one) are attractive with space for chairs, and sideboards as well as the very comfortable bed, (I slept soundly). The hill down to the house is steep and as I use a stick at the moment I gave up the idea of walking up the hill, but drove instead. The garden is large with a good variety of plants and trees, all maintained very well. We fed rooks on one of the walls in the garden every day, they're quite comical, intelligent birds that came about eight foot away from us. For a small town Fishguard has lots of shops, pubs, galleries, cafes and view points. There is a cracking bakers, (sold out by lunchtime), and the town hall has different markets on Thursdays and Saturdays which are well worth the visit. Go upstairs to the library as well and take a good look at the invasion tapestry, it's very impressive. The history of Fishguard is terrific. The grandchildren enjoyed the photos of the cannons I sent them. Both dogs and both of us thoroughly enjoyed staying at Carreg yr Eos and having discovered it I'm sure we will return.
