  • "Excellent property which felt like a home."

    Everything needed was there. Very quiet location with a sliver of a sea view from the kitchen area, which resulted in us spending all our time there.

    Very glad! Thank you! We love being there too. Property Owner

  • "This was our third stay at Dolwylan."

    Each time we have visited an improvement had been made. This time complete decoration and carpet. The only downside was the TV as. you could only watch a programme by going into the apps. Apart from that a lovely spacious family bungalow within walking distance for the beach and town.

    Yes - lovely to have you back. The Sky subscription wasn’t being used and more and more people were asking for a smart TV with apps. Property Owner

  • "We have stayed here before and the new sun room where the garage was is a lovely addition."

    It’s a wonderful property with a great layout, lovely views and superb location although it’s a shame they have still made no real effort to enclose the garden. The owners have, however, been badly let down by the housekeeping team. In no particular order: Door from kitchen to garden doesn’t lock, was unlocked when we arrived and another door has no handle. No duvet cover on duvet in main bedroom, part used loo rolls on holders, 1 tiny towel each with no hand towel or bath mat, coffee in jar set solid, no tea bags, no welcome pack, less than half a basket of logs and a musty smell on arrival. It felt very much like the house was got ready 3 weeks previously when the last set of guests checked out. Very poor standards and not acceptable for the price charged.

    Graham Many thanks. The house was cleaned on the morning you arrived. We have never done a Welcome Pack as we don’t live nearby and (particularly during Covid) people were very clear that they did not want it. We do however have a very generous approach to guests using stuff like tea bags (there were some) and olive oil and salt and pepper etc. There most definitely were new loo rolls in each bathroom. I put them there myself. And more in the cupboard in the hall. The bedding was a mistake. We had complaints from a previous guest that the duvet was “too hot” so we left it like that to give choice. Towels and bath mat - we left the linen cupboard open and towels were available in plentiful supply. We also left the underfloor heating on - which I hope was appreciated- the musty smell I can’t explain although we are doing a major refurbishment this winter which may eliminate this. Logs - we always leave logs and firefighters etc - and there are more in the shed which is left open. So all in all I would have preferred that you had texted me on the day with your concerns and I may have been able to help immediately. But I am happy to receive feedback either way. Best wishes Hugh Property Owner

  • "It is a spacious and well appointed property with a lovely view from the main bedroom."

    But for us,the overpowering and unpleasant smell of mustiness everywhere except the kitchen, which could not be dispelled with heating on, woodburner lit, incense, and windows open, was too much. We left after three days.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are very glad you found it well-appointed & enjoyed the amazing views. We are sorry you found a musty odor in the property; we are looking into this & are in the process of getting ready to renovate the interior this winter, which we hope will eradicate the problem. Once again, thank you for your feedback & we hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "A very comfortable and spacious bungalow."

    Good location with views of the coast, 10 mins walk, and also 10 mins into the village. Obviously a family home with many interesting features, books, photographs etc. very comfortable beds. We had a cold week so the log burning stove was welcome, we took our own logs but there was a good supply available. Newport is a lovely village in a scenic area with many walks and places of interest. Good food at the Castle Hotel. A slight downer was my husbands allergy to dogs which showed itself strongly all week, can only assume there had been one or more in the bungalow the week before, but that is just bad luck. Margaret

    Made a good base for a visit to Pembrokeshire. Great food and service from friendly staff at the Castle Inn and delicious pizzas at the canteen.

    We had everything we could need for a wonderful holiday. The property is in a fantastic position, with fabulous views of the coast. There are numerous walks within a short distance of the property. We met some lovely locals, all very friendly & helpful.

    In fact, I would say that the pictures on the website don’t quite do it justice. For example, I had no idea from the pictures that the property had a sea view from the front of the house. A gorgeous area too! We had a great time in this very comfortable house.
