The kitchen rests behind, with wooden units and sleek worktops, housing a range of appliances so you can cook up a delicious meal for the whole family, whilst the dining area provides space to enjoy your meals over a chilled glass of wine.

We felt quite spoiled with a kitchen, living room and loft in addition to the usual bedroom and bathroom. Great location, not far from the train station and close to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Foot Path, which is what we came for. Stunning views, if youâre a hiker youâll love it here. We met the owners as we were leaving, lovely friendly people. They added such thoughtful touches in the cottage - a bottle of wine and Walsh biscuits/cookies come to mind. We had to help the taxi drivers find the place, which was challenging since weâd never been there before. Not sure what you can do about that ⦠send them all a map? We give the bed an 8 out of 10 for comfort and size, but everything else was perfect. Plenty of hot water, plenty of outlets (none in the bathroom though, is that a UK thing?), nice warm bedding, big towels.

Lots of little personal touches which were much appreciated. The cottage is a short walk from coastal walks which have amazing views. Fishguard has a variety of pubs, coffee stops and shops. Good base for exploring the area.

. Had a smile on my face within seconds of walking in.. Property was exactly what I needed and had a very welcoming feel to it.. Living space very comfortable and a lovely small outside space to rear.. Fully equipped kitchen, excellent bathroom and decent sized bedroom with a very comfortable bed.. Private off street parking, nice quiet location but only a few minutes stroll to the main street.. Really excellent property and one I would not hesitate to return too..
