The cottage is particularly appreciated for its cleanliness and suitability for families and those seeking relaxation. Some guests note minor issues such as the lack of a fully enclosed garden, occasional heating or hot water challenges, and limited amenities in the immediate area, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.

The location is widely praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and easy access to coastal walks and local attractions. The rural setting and proximity to Porthgain are highlighted as major positives, though the lack of nearby shops is occasionally mentioned.
Reviewers find the cottage very comfortable, with cosy beds, a spacious conservatory, and a relaxing atmosphere. Some mention the upstairs bedroom being warm and the stairs steep, which may not suit everyone, but overall comfort is highly rated.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with all necessary amenities for families and those with pets. Suggestions for improvement include better basic cooking supplies, clearer instructions for outside lights, and a handrail in the shower.

Beacon Cottage lies on a quiet country lane above the tiny hamlet of Llanrhian.

The sunny conservatory offers panoramic views across fields and out to sea above the nearby village of Porthgain. In summer watch the sun set over the Abereiddi valley or stroll down for supper to the Shed Bistro or the Sloop Inn in Porthgain. With water heating assisted by solar panels, Beacon Cottage is warm and comfortable and a lovely destination for a holiday at all times of year.
It is a pleasant walk or a short drive to Porthgain from which the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs both east and west. The dramatic coastal scenery, flower and wildlife are what make Pembrokeshire one of the world’s best holiday destinations (National Geographic voted Pembrokeshire the 2nd best coastal destination in the world). Splendid at all times of year, the explosion of colour with the spring flowers is something to behold!
Neighbouring Abereiddi, has pretty colour-washed former miners’ cottages, black sandy beach (where dogs are welcome all year round) and the remarkable Blue Lagoon. Popular with families, the sand, which is visible at low tide, also contains a high concentration of fossils and is a draw for fossil hunters. Beach 2¾ miles. Pub and restaurant 1¾ miles.

Really loved Beacon cottage. Situated on a lovely quiet lane. The view across the fields to the sea is so restful. The cottage itself is very comfortable. The lounge sofa and chairs are super comfy as is the conservatory furniture. The beds are comfy however the upstairs bedroom does get very warm on a warm day and the steps are very steep and narrow. Not ideal for young children or people with limited mobility. The only disappointment we had was that the garden was not fully fenced in and sits within a cluster of 2 other cottages. It appeared that this was a shared garden which was not mentioned on the cottage description. Thankfully we had quiet neighbours for the duration but would be very unhappy if this were not the case. Sadly this would stop us from booking again as we go on holiday for peace and quiet and also have a dog.
