Resting in Redberth near St Florence in Pembrokeshire is Love Cottage, a cosy retreat for a couple wanting to explore the best of the coast, countryside and bustling towns of this area of South Wales. Park your car in the designated parking space, passing the small patio area with seating beside the front, where you can enjoy a morning coffee, before heading into the single-storey cottage to find a welcoming, neutrally decorated living space with wooden flooring, a choice of two sofas to relax on, one of which can be converted into a bed if you have a third guest with you.

The inviting double bedroom is the perfect place to catch up on sleep, with a large wardrobe that will comfortably fit all of your belongings, and prepare for each new day with a refreshing rinse in the bathroom's walk-in shower. Head out of the patio doors from the living room onto the enclosed courtyard, where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or an alfresco lunch in the summer sunshine.

It had everything we needed but the battery powered Hoover didn't work which was a shame as both our dogs were moulting, but we used the other Hoover in the cupboard which worked fine on the laminate floor but not so well on the bedroom carpet. We would like to have done a better job hoovering up after our dogs. Also, the cottage looks in your photos as if it is stand alone, which is not the case. It didn't matter to us but might to other people. However, we plan to book again!

Not only were there neighbours at the front of the property but in the picture the back looked private but it didnât show that there was a path to Poppy Cottage running down the side, so when having a drink or food people staying in Poppy cottage would be walking passed, also Poppy cottage had an outdoor cinema, hot tub and bbq in their outside space so when they were outside their noise carried into Love cottageâs outdoor space and into the property too, so no matter where you sat for a quiet drink or food you had neighbours at the front and heard/saw neighbours at the back too. The pictures showed Love cottage as adjoined to the Farmhouse and a lawn surrounding them but in fact outside Love cottageâs bedroom window were the car parking for the Farmhouse,Love cottage and Poppy cottage so when in bed on a morning if any of the neighbours went out you heard them walking past and getting in their cars, not ideal for a lie in. The fridge inside at the back was all frozen up so wasnât working properly and the extraction fan also didnât work, there was a big ball of fluff/dust on some coasters by the tv and quite a lot of spiders and spiderwebs to many to say itâs because it close to trees. While the cottage was a nice little place it was the surroundings that let it down. We booked it from looking at the pictures of how tranquil it looked but the photos were obviously photoshopped. They donât show the other 4 dwellings attached to the Farmhouse or the said pathway to Poppy Cottage and parking bays. Wouldnât have booked it if the pictures and descriptions were correct. Shame cause the cottage was nice. Oh and a curtain or blinds up the front door would be good because at night when the lights are on the neighbours can see right in and watch you going to the loo and bedroom, not good when coming out of the bathroom after a shower to go the bedroom draped in just a towel.

Overlooked at front by neighbours kitchen and back by their bedroom. Dead spiders & cobwebs everywhere. Fridge shelves all broken & fridge started to freeze our food. Requested to leave thermostat as it was. Not enough crockery, wooden spoons, non-stick pans. No grill pan. Smaller than expected, wouldnât like to be there as a family of 3. Good as a base but would go further into Tenby/Saunderfoot next time.
