• "Myself , my son and our dog stayed here for a week and loved it … Cutch cowin is ideal if you have a dog or dogs , Sylvia and Bruce are next door and are so helpful ."

  The garden is beautiful we sat and watched all the birds for ages! They are stunning . The bed is comfy the kitchen area is ideal it has everything you could need . The heating system is easy to use if you go in the colder months , the only thing i would say and a few other reviews have stated is that a slightly bigger sofa would make it perfect . You struggle to get 2 people on the sofa the wet room is fantastic and shower is powerful and nice and hot . Bancyfelin village is beautiful and so is st clears . It is within an easy 15 minute drive to Pendine beach . We have booked already to go back next year!

• "We had a lovely stay, the owners were great,and friendly the annex just needs a fresh up the bathroom great for a person with disabilities, but the seats are too low in the lounge, bed was comfortable but a little too low , but we would happily go back there again if we were going to go back to south Wales, it’s not a negative review we had a great time."

• "A very relaxing place."

  Clean and comfortable. Great adjacent utility. Lovely garden and garden birds. Nice welcome pack. We would be very happy to return to this property. It doesn't feel like the owners are right next door - fully enclosed and independent - but very approachable if needed. The distances to shop and pub in details are not correct and the route is partly along a road with no path.

  A good base to explore the area and we had some great weather. Could do with a thicker quilt for the bed especially in the colder months. Some medium size glasses in the kitchen would be a welcome addition. It was not as clean as our last visit. Lots of cobwebs and the sink was still dirty from the last occupants.

  We felt instantly at home and found our break thoroughly relaxing with some beautiful places to go within a short drive, the apartment is quite rural so you will need to drive to places.

  Just what we needed to chill out and relax. It had everything we needed even dog bowls and a dog bed. It was nice to just sit and look out at the owners lovely garden and beyond- not forgetting the birds on the bird feeders. Despite the rain, we had a full 5 days visiting the local area. The local pub was close by but not really walkable as the road is quite busy and has no pavements. The owners - Sylvia and Bruce were very nice - the dog Bingo came to fence every morning and barked for a biscuit - most amusing - no alarm clock required. All in all - I would highly recommend Cwtch Cowin.

  It is small but two of us ( my husband not very mobile) plus our Irish Terrier had plenty of room. A contained garden for your dog or you can arrange to let your dog in the large garden with any boarded dogs at the time. The owners are friendly, helpful and on hand to give any advice on places to go, we ordered a hired mobility scooter to be delivered to the property which was there before we arrived. The village shop is well stocked, fresh bread, eggs etc and the pub is friendly and you can eat in the bar with your dog, food is very good. Lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away, all had big areas which allowed dogs on even though we were there after the 1st May. We would definitely stay here again. Well worth the 310 mile drive from Yorkshire

  The cottage is ideal for anyone with a dog, as the owners are dog people and they took an interest in my dog, which is the main reason I went back to this cottage(Third time now). Everything was in the cottage, well equipped, totally spotless and clean. Hugh garden to let the dogs run around, pub about 3/4 of a mile up the road, as well as shop(Be careful, some of the walk is on a road with no footpath).
