Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews present a mixed picture of cleanliness. Some guests reported the property as dirty upon arrival with issues such as dog hair, a dirty wet room, and a blocked fridge drain. However, others found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained. The variance in experiences suggests inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and rural charm. Guests enjoy the proximity to farm animals and the natural beauty of South Wales & Pembrokeshire. The remote setting is appreciated for its peace and quiet, although it may be too secluded for some.
Comfort levels are generally well-regarded, with several guests mentioning comfortable accommodations. However, there are remarks about thin, uncomfortable mattresses and noisy springs, indicating room for improvement in some areas of guest comfort.
Facilities receive mixed feedback. The hot tub is a highlight for many, but there are concerns about the maintenance of the play area and BBQ, as well as the general upkeep of the property. Some guests found the facilities to be excellent, while others noted areas in need of attention.
The hosts are frequently mentioned for their thoughtfulness, providing items such as a wheelchair and a shower chair on request. Welcome packs and the opportunity to interact with farm animals are appreciated gestures, though it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Laugharne is famous for its associations with the poet Dylan Thomas and a visit to his Boat House and the garage where he wrote most of his works is a wonderful experience. Beautiful walks in and around the castle, with views of the estuary, can be followed by cream teas in little tea rooms, a drink in the local pub or shopping in the gift shops and mini market. The nearby sandy beach at Pendine is where many land speed records have been famously set on its' seven mile stretch of beautiful flat sand, and a little further afield are the seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot.

The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by natural beauty and offering a peaceful atmosphere that's perfect for relaxation. The owners are friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our children absolutely loved the place! There was plenty of space for them to play, and they enjoyed the freedom to explore the outdoors in such a safe environment. The fresh, clean air was a refreshing change from city life, giving us all a chance to truly unwind and recharge. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We highly recommend it for families or anyone in need of a peaceful retreat.

As a wheelchair user I was delighted to find it very accessible with a hoist available from the owner if needed. We loved being adopted by the farm cat and visited by the donkeys and peacocks. We met Stu, the host, on arrival and he was so friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We had a lovely week and would definitely recommend. Oh and did I mention the glorious hot tub?
