"The property was excellent, extremely comfortable and set in the most beautiful gardens which were adjacent to National Trust grounds."
The National Trust coffee shop was also next door and very useful for lunch or just a drink. Saundersfoot was in easy reach for beach, cafes, supermarkets and other interesting gift shops. Tenby was also not too far away if a larger resort was required. Altogether a very pleasant holiday property with very helpful owners.

"We spent 4 nights in Rhydlandgoed, a lovely peaceful property ,well placed for enjoying the local beaches and the Pembrokeshire coastal path."
The grounds were beautiful ,with access to the National Trust Colby Wood gardens on your doorstep. Narberth is less than 6 miles a way and a great place to visit .
Tony + Caroline were so welcoming and always there if we needed anything .Tony even put my walking boots [ left outside[ in a bag when it started raining, so kind and thoughtful!
We had such a good time .

"We had an amazing time."
The property is gorgeous with everything you need. It is immaculate and extremely comfortable. The surrounding grounds are stunning. This cottage is special and we would recommend it too friends and family and we would definitely stay again. Tony, Carolyn and their beautiful dogs are lovely and made us feel very welcome and shared their local knowledge and recommended places of interest to visit. There is a National Trust café at the back of the property and it is a 15minute stroll through the woodland to Amroth beach which has a couple of restaurants and gift shops and of course ice cream and is dog friendly on one side.
We only wish that we had stayed longer.
Thank you for the kind feedback - it means a lot to us. If you ever want to return to spend more time at Colby, do let us know, it would be a pleasure to have you back here.

"Beautiful location, like a home away from home."
Hosts were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Cottage was idillyc.
My only comment would be that the hot water and heating should be controlled from the cottage, There were three of us and the third person got a cold shower and wet towels as the radiators/hot water were not on enough. This was down to the great British weather I am guessing.
Would definitely go back and recommend to others if the place was warm.
Thank you for comments and we are pleased you enjoyed the property. The hot water is regulated with a timer in the airing cupboard located in the bathroom, the timer is programmed to switch on twice per day and a boost control for guests to use as and when required. Heating will automatically switch on if temperature drops below 20, there is also a log burner that heats the whole property. Unfortunately your home in Dubai is extremely hot around 50 and British weather will never compare to that. We have taken your comments onboard and I hope this is clarity for you.

"It’s such a wonderful historic property and location."
Dog friendly , perfect for walking and easy drives to shops and other places .
NT cafe does fabulous coffee cakes food every day just round the back of the house.
Wales is often cold and wet so I would always recommend remembering warm clothing even in summer! As it’s an old property don’t expect the same levels of draughtfree warmth of a modern house. (Easily remedied by the wood burning stove)
Instead just enjoy being in such an amazing setting surrounded by the grandeur of the Colby private gardens and its adjoining National Trust parklands , woodlands and babbling brooks.
We always look forward to our holidays there and hate to leave.

"Rhydlandgoed is a lovely cottage attached to the main house."
It is very comfortable and nicely furnished and with little oddments (ornaments, pictures) scattered around to make it feel homely rather than an anonymous rented space. Everything we needed was provided - logs for the woodburner, towels, bedding, crockery, cooking utensils, hair drier etc..We really enjoyed it. The owners were very welcoming and looked after us without being in any way intrusive. When we had a power cut they quickly brought over lanterns so that we weren't completely in the dark (it only lasted about 10 minutes).
The main house has beautiful gardens, which you are free to make use of, and it is all set amidst the National Trust Colby Woodland Garden. So quite isolated. It's a 20 minute walk down a woodland track into Amroth village, where there are three pubs and a couple of shops. It is probably possible to drive down but we preferred not to. Make sure to take a torch for dark nights!
Amroth itself has an expansive beach and is well placed for exploring. You can walk to Saundersfoot along the beach at low tide, although some rock clambering is involved if you don't want to get wet feet. Tenby, Narbeth, Laugharne and Stackpole are all a short drive away, with St. Davids being about an hour.
Very enjoyable and recommended.

The cottage is set in the most beautiful setting and at this time of year the rhododendrons and azaleas were stunning. It is bright and spacious with comfortable beds and tastefully furnished, very homely. You can also visit tea room next door which serves delicious cakes. There is just a 15 minute walk through the grounds to the small seaside village of Amroth with a welcoming pub which serves very nice food. We walked with our dogs to the next seaside town of Saundersfoot via the Pembrokeshire Coastal path, there are very steep steps at first to climb but the views at the top are well worth it. If the tide is out then you can walk on the beach. Tenby is a short drive away and Barafundle beach and Bosherston lakes are a must visit. It is a piece of paradise, quite and tranquil.
