We had a wonderful time in the cottage for the last week of August.
We had a wonderful time in the cottage for the last week of August. It was so lovely and cosy for two people, with perfectly supplied kitchen utensils, entertainment, and comfort. The host and neighbours were incredible - both friendly and helpful! We needed a car (the walk through fields was quite muddy!) but everything was close and accessible with beautiful views during the drive. Can't recommend enough - we'll be back!

Loved this cottage.
Loved this cottage. Peaceful off road setting with a parking area. Cottage was spotless and ready for guests. Bed was super comfortable and all the facilities were there. Kitchen equipment was easy to operate and everything I needed was available. For me the best bit was the ambience inside the cottage. Even in a gale it felt cosy and calm.The surroundings are beautiful, Pwllgwaelod beach and Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. What more is there to say â¤ï¸
