  • "The cottage is in an idyllic situation and its close proximity to the local beach a very short walk down the footpath was wonderful."

    However we found some of the cottage facilities were a bit tired and below the standard expected. In particular the cleanliness of some of the kitchen equipment was poor. The plastic chopping boards were covered with mouldy food stuff, the bodum coffee press still had coffee grounds left in it ,trays had mould spotting on the surface and the draining rack for washing up was old and very dirty. Consequently we didn't use these and we felt that we needed to wash everything we used before use ( not what you want to do when on holiday)However the cooker was clean the fridge was clean. The tea towels and bath towels were quite tired as well but bed linen was excellent. It was obvious that the owners have recently invested money on the property lovely new windows and doors and new downstairs loo and sink. I know this sounds like a lot of complaining but we felt that it was such a shame that for the money we paid it missed the mark being let down with some tired facilities and and more time was needed on the cleaning regime especially in the kitchen. It could be wonderful.

  • "Whilst the location is great, the house leaves a little to be desired, though it is clean and well presented, and definitely dog friendly."

    We can see there has been some money spent on internal painting, window furnishings, living room furniture and the shower room, but the 1980s Kitchen does require some proper attention. The old wooden drainboard leaks into the cutlery drawer below and the property management did valiantly try a timely reseal, but this has also failed. There was no Microwave present, or obviously present in the Kitchen, or the Storage cupboard, even though one was listed in the ad. This and no dishwasher makes for too much time in the Kitchen when on holiday. Outside, the rear patio has become rather overgrown with weeds outside the Lounge spoiling the view a little; the grounds were otherwise well maintained with cut grass areas. Also, perhaps the ad should show a Floorplan to enable people to understand the house layout and potential restrictions this may cause; the house can be split as it has 2 staircases (one spiral staircase to one bedroom), but the shower room is downstairs. The information booklet at the property should have the property facilities information at the front, such as details on the space heating, where the hot water switch is, where the oven switch is, especially if these are always to be turned off on leaving. If there is a microwave in the range oven, then this should be listed in the book up front as well (instructions on how to use each compartment in the range oven would have been handy). All in all, we had a comfortable stay and were pleased how well the dog was catered for with a crate, bedding and bowls available for use.

  • "Taibach is a lovely cottage in a beautiful and tranquil location."

    Perfect if you love the beach, which is only a five minute walk away, and just a short drive from Newport. We thoroughly recommend it.

  • "What a fabulous place, we didn't want to leave!"

    The location is stunning and the cottage has a lovely homely feel to it. It was clean, the beds wore comfy and it was very well equipped. We were lucky to have beautiful sunny days to spend on the nearby beach, in the woods around the cottage and walking along the cliffs. It's such a special place and we hope to return one day.

  • "What a lovely place."

    We were the 1st ‘guests’ to stay in this lovely home from home. We want solitude, peace, zero light pollution, a feeling of being remote but still in touch and quiet, this cottage ticked all those ‘boxes’. It’s a comfy homely place to stay and well equipped, the bed we slept in was very comfortable. There was no mobile reception on EE or Vodafone but the wireless reception via the satellite internet set-up was excellent and we could stream on the iPads and smart TV when we wanted to.Our 2 Labradors loved it, they adopted one of the 2 lovely lounges as home! The local beach reached via the path is super ( bring good walking boots/ wellies) and we enjoyed the seal who popped up to view us, get to the waterfall just up from the beach. The owner was very helpful with friendly tips before the holiday. This part of Pembrokeshire is serene and beautiful and this is an ideal base to explore it from- there are SO many wonderful places to visit and it’s heaven for walkers. We loved our week here.

The property

Newport 3.4 miles; Cardigan 15 miles.

Taibach is a charming, characterful cottage set between the coastal village of Dinas and Cwm-Yr-Eglwys in north Pembrokeshire.

Boasting original features including exposed stone and wooden beams, this pretty retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends and with off-road parking for four cars and nearby beaches on your doorstep, Taibach is a truly welcoming abode for guests and two well-behaved pets.

Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by its character and charm and you can unwind in the sitting room in front of the Smart TV, warmed by the woodburning stove as you enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage.

The patio doors open up onto the garden, allowing a flood of natural light to fill the room whilst the kitchen/diner is well-equipped for all your culinary needs, allowing you to prepare delightful meals to be enjoyed at the dining table.

For quieter moments, retreat to the snug, where you can sink into the sofas and admire the characterful exposed brickwork around an ornamental fireplace.

As the day draws to a close, retire to one of the four inviting bedrooms, comprising two doubles, a twin and a single - each room is tastefully decorated, with storage for your belongings.

A sleek bathroom offers a space to relax and unwind after a day of exploration and there is also a separate shower room with a walk-in shower, providing additional convenience.

Outside, let the kids and dogs roam free as there are no passing cars.

The rear non-enclosed garden is a real delight, boasting pretty floral displays, mature shrubs, and lawns whilst the raised patio area, complete with furniture, provides a wonderful spot for alfresco dining or simply enjoying a moment of tranquillity with a good book.

The coastal path leading to Aberfforest Beach literally passes the front door, ideal for avid walkers and days spent at the beach.

Cwm-Yr-Eglwys with the iconic ruin of St Brynach's Church standing on its shore is also only a short walk away whilst the village of Dinas Cross offers a convenience store for all of your essentials, as well as a pub.

The stunning 5500 year old Pentre Ifan Neolithic Burial Chamber is a must-see, as one of the finest examples of its kind in Wales.

For excellent cuisine, visit nearby Newport which hosts The Golden Lion, The Castle Inn, Blas at Fronlas and Tides Kitchen & Wine Bar for delicious seasonal menus made with fresh local ingredients.

Alternatively, travel up towards Newport Golf Course for a round or just grab a coffee and scrumptious bite at the Cat Rock Cafe, with wonderful views of the bay, across Newport Sands.

From historical attractions to culinary delights, Taibach, in the heart of north Pembrokeshire, will indeed be a memorable destination for all.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
