David Prescott
The bungalow was very comfortable and clean, with plenty of space both inside and out. The garden was secure enough for us to let our little dog loose, and pleasant to sit out in on our one sunny afternoon! The location is ideal - a short walk into the centre, but on a very quiet estate. Evan, who manages the house, was great at keeping in touch, although we had no problems while we were there. The house had everything we needed for the week (although a bread knife would be a useful addition :)) and we would definitely stay there again.

An excellent location, just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of St Davids, with all its eating locations, shops and not forgetting the cathedral. There is also a nearby supermarket within walking distance and it's easy to walk to the coastal path (approx 20-30 minutes). There is off road parking for two cars (at a premium in St Davids) and a dog friendly rear garden. The property was very clean, comfortable and well fitted out, with everything needed to self-cater if required. There is a large, modern shower (no bath) and a modern central heating system, so plenty of warmth and hot water, plus a log burner if needed. The kitchen is well equipped, although you may struggle to get more than four people around the table. However, there is seating and a table outside for the warmer months.I would highly recommend this property and I would stay here again.

Fantastic location and cottage. It was a lovely stay, just a few minutes walk to shops, cafes, and restaurants. The cottage was warm and cozy, with information easily available to know how to operate gadgets. Communication was proactive, friendly, and super helpful! Highly Recommend!
