Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. While no specific praise is mentioned, one review cites issues with dust, cobwebs, spiders, and wood lice, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquility, with easy access to walks, pubs, and tea rooms. However, one mention of a nearby firing range suggests some disturbance, slightly impacting the score.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a lovely decor and a warm atmosphere. A good night's sleep and a hot shower after long walks are noted, although one review mentions the property being very small and cluttered.
There is insufficient information to fully assess the facilities and maintenance. While there is a mention of limited kitchen facilities and an overloaded extension lead, other aspects of facilities and maintenance are not covered in the reviews.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, leaving essentials, snacks, and on one occasion, a bottle of Prosecco. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, may not be a consistent offering for all stays.

Henry Tudor was born in the majestic castle that is located in Pembroke, a mediaeval walled town. This old town boasts a tonne of stores, cute tea houses, and restaurants, all in a beautiful location on the river estuary. Nearby lies the breathtaking Pembrokeshire coastline, which boasts award-winning beaches and wonderful coastal path treks. From here, a well-traveled bicycle route leads to Tenby, passing via the charming village of St. Florence. Bosherton, with its lovely lily ponds and well-known St. Govan's Inn, offering good ales and cuisine sourced locally, is only 4 miles distant. Surfers can head to Freshwater West, which was featured in one of the Harry Potter movies, or St Govan's Chapel, which is constructed into the cliff face, where you can enjoy wonderful views from Stack Rocks. Oakwood Theme Park, Folly Farm, where you can take a tractor ride or feed molly lambs, Manor House Wildlife Park, Dinosaur Experience, and Heatherton World of Adventures are all close by.

With gorgeous beaches not far away, and lots to do in the area within a short drive. The area is nice and quiet. The stars at night will have you mesmerised (clouds permitting). We had a great, relaxing weekend. The dog loved it too!

Exactly as advertised warm and comfortable with lovely hot shower after long walks greatly appreciated. Host kindly left tea, coffee and fresh milk and snacks. Would definitely visit again.

It had dust and cobwebs with huge spiders and lots of crawling wood lice. We had to eliminate these bugs with insect repellant due to the height of the ceiling. It felt damp and would not be up to standard with health and safety in mind. Too many items in one extension lead. The location is good, but property very disappointing. Needs inspection.
