Beautiful place to stay, good location, everything you need is there. The lady who owns it Mrs Jones was lovely very pleasant, great for our dog all fenced off with the garden secure, an extra plus was the baby calves at the bottom of the garden behind the fence, was lovely seeing them in the mornings. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Mrs jones.

If you are after luxury accommodation this isnt it. However it is excellent value for money.The accommodation was functional, comfortable (except the sofas) and everything worked and well thought out. The shower cubicle in the downstairs bedroom was a bit strange but did offer another bathing area, plus downstairs seperate toilet.The beds were comfortable and the kitchen equipment were for once easy to use.The Wifi is a bit patchy but understandable in a rural area and actually the same in a lot of the area.There is a small field adjacent to the cottage if you have a dog and a grassed area at the back to sit out in. Beware the flies though if you leave the doors and windows open. Its attached to a farm and some very cute calves were in the next field, hence the flies. (Lots of fly killer left to tackle any incursions).Its a stunning area and the accommodation is really close to great places to visit. Tenby, Saundersfoot, Stackpole Head, Barafundle Bay, Manorbier to name a few. The owner is a lovely lady and she left us some delicious Welsh Cakes.

It definitely needs a deep clean. @Beds were comfortable and bedding and towels were not matching but they were clean and fresh smelling. Plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils. Peaceful location and a good home base for travelling around the area. Mrs Jones was very friendly .
