I feel it would benefit from a gate to close the decking area off and also to enclose the back garden. The garden in its hay day must have been a paradise and feel maintenance particularly around the seating area would make it more inviting. Overall we had a lovely week, the kitchen well equipped, the lounge a very comfortable area and the conservatory a lovely place to relax. We would return and would recommend

We had a great stay, despite very poor weather - in fact it was good to have a warm environment, with washing machine and tumble dryer to come back to after a day in the cold and rain. The property is well located for accessing local restaurants, pubs, shops and of course the beach. Places of interest such as Tenby and Pembroke are also within easy reach.
