The location is praised for its tranquillity and proximity to the Pembrokeshire Coast, offering a peaceful retreat with easy access to walks and nature. The quiet and private setting is a recurring positive aspect in the reviews.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy evenings and comfortable beds mentioned. However, some guests noted issues with mattresses and seating arrangements for larger groups, slightly affecting the comfort score.
While the cottage is well-equipped and the garden is loved, there are several comments about the lack of a large freezer, the need for a non-slip shower mat, and suggestions for better kitchen knives. These facility improvements could enhance the guest experience.
There is no consistent mention of welcome gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the host, and as such, it is not possible to accurately score this category. While some guests were disappointed by the lack of a welcome package, it is not a guaranteed amenity.

The garden was perfect with lovely views across the meadows. Found all we needed in the cottage & loved exploring the local footpaths. Would happily return.

Really clean throughout. It would have been good to know when the recycling collection was and when the gardener was due.
