"A lovely spacious cottage, loved the under floor heated bathroom!"
Everything was provided for us and we enjoyed a good week of beach and Pembrokeshire coastal path walks and a big dose of fresh air. Our dog loved the big field next door also. Lovely to meet and chat to the owners when they visited to check we were ok, a pleasure to meet them super friendly and a mine of local information. Super.

"Lovely comfortable property fairly remote location, difficult to find in the dark."
Every appliance in good working order and comfortable beds. If taking a dog be mindful that the field is not enclosed and next to the road. Visited in January when it was quiet, I imagine being located on a campsite it may well be much busier in the summer months.

"Stayed there last week in July."
Although a long drive to get there the cottage met all our expectations and proved a lovely place to stay to explore the area. The owners were very helpful and informative. You do need a car to get about but the drive into Milford Haven only takes 5 minutes and there is a Lidl and a Tesco there. The cottage is very well equipped with plenty of fridge and freezer space and is very comfortable and furnished to a high standard. The only word of warning is the beams are a bit low in places upstairs so watch your head in the dark.

It needs a deep clean as there was a lot of cobwebs under tables and ceilings and a few other places. If the cleanliness was higher standard I would put this accomidation as a five star ⭐️

"The cottage is a lovely, quirky cottage as listed."
It is in fairly peaceful grounds with fields. We did enjoy our stay, but there were some factors that put a downer on it and things that were either not as listed, or not made clear:
- Right next to the cottage (on either side) is a very run down old caravan (so close the car only just got through the space) and on the other side is the owner's workshop (corrugated iron/scaffolding etc.), plus the site is actually a caravan park, meaning there is potentially more than the odd camper (not a problem, but not made clear). The listing also mentions 8 acres, but we couldnt tell the full extent of the grounds went, this is also because a large portion of it seems to be housing old sail boats, so it looked a bit like a scrap yard. This didn't affect us too badly, but again is not referenced.
- Facilities: I noticed on the reviews nearly 2 months before we were due to stay that the shower was broken (the only shower in the property) and that they were only informed two days before their stay. This also happened to us, and the message was very nonchalant and did not go anyway to address compensation or concerns you might have. They did mention there is a "new shower block" in the caravan park, but 1) we did not want to use this when we had paid for a self contained, functioning cottage, 2) it did not look "brand new" and so we couldnt have a shower for the entire stay, which was very disappointing and frustrating. One shower is also not ideal for 6 people.
There is a washing machine but no dryer. Given the British weather, and likelihood people are going to go the beach, this isnt ideal. All our clothes were wet through and damp for the entire stay, as it rained torrentially 6/7 days.
- The listing mentions eco heating, but none of the documents that are left for you tells you how to work/locate the heating (only one small radiator in the upstairs bedroom) so if you are going to let your property out in the autumn/winter, this is a problem. There were days/nights when we were cold/wet and couldn't do much about it.
- There is a beautiful bathroom downstairs, but given it is jacquzzi bath and shower, but the jacquzzi and shower arent working, it seemed a bit of a waste.
- Cleanliness: in a lot of ways the property was clean when we arrived, but given there is supposed to be extra cleaning because of Covid, we weren't convinced anything but the standard had been done. There is a lot of dust and cobwebs, and there was actually a feces floating in the upstairs toilet (we hadn't even noticed until 2 days later as we were using the downstairs bathroom until then).
- The property is lovely, but could do with updating. The sofas are ripped and weathered, the mattress in the master bedroom was rock solid, has a massive dip on one side, and no bounce - we had to flip it over and turn it upside down to get it bearable. The antiqueness/quirkiness of the cottage is nice, but do feel the facilities should be kept up to scratch.
- The property says it has wifi, which is misleading. For the first two days the light was on red, and thereafter it went off frequently and is not strong enough to do basic web browsing at times. This is an issue if you wanted to 1) bring your own device to watch films etc. 2) if you planned to work, which we did.
Lastly, the information that you get on arrival could be updated. There are years old leaflets in there rather than specific information that might be more valuable from a local, like what takeaways operate near by (which is crucial when you have dogs and are told you cannot leave the property without them), what restaurants etc, and maybe some information about the site. There wasn't any personal touch about recommendations from the owners which would have been beneficial to people new to the area. Also, a local warning siren sounded on the first day of the month (which apparently is a security thing to confirm all is safe) but we werent told about this and were alarmed when we heard it.
Whilst we are highlighting the above, it is more to give a true reflection of things as we wish we had known a few before we stayed. But we did have a nice time and made the best of it, but we wouldn't stay again.

"We were only informed 48 hours prior to arrival that there was no working shower at the cottage."
Not good enough for the 3 of us - one guest with reduced mobility and one nearly 80. We were informed we could use the shower on the adjacent campsite facilities which we tried only to find that the automatic light kept turning off, there was nowhere to hang shower gel or place soap and the door didn’t lock only then to discover that the thermostat was broken and the water ran so hot we couldn’t use it.
The bedrooms were spacious although the quality of the bedding was very poor. The sheets were so worn they were ‘bobbly’.
The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans and plenty of cutlery and crockery.
Despite the issue we had with no showering facility we very much liked the cottage, it’s spaciousness and we found it very comfortable and was in a perfect location to explore Pembrokeshire.

"Fab, quirky cottage."
Suited us perfectly with our 2 Labradors. Found lots of dog walks (would be handy if they were listed in the arrival book). Lyn and his wife popped around to check we were ok and were so nice, offering advice on where to go and what to see.
They told us that lots of items (soft furnishings) had to be removed due to Covid. They told us that Sykes are responsible for a deep thorough clean of the property and I wanted to point out that this was not evident, lots of thick dust on some of the furniture and media unit and around the skirting boards. Food left in the fridge from previous occupant and the fridge itself wasn’t very clean. Was slightly disappointed in this - this is not down to the owners it’s the responsibility of Sykes.

"This is a lovely cottage with lots of room and almost everything you would use in your own home."
The setting is great, right next to a camping field which was lovely to walk the dogs around. Hugh and Anne who kept an eye on us from their caravan were lovely and offered good advice for our travelling home. They were available if we needed them, but not interfering in any way. There was only three of us, but plenty of room for at least double that number.
We would highly recommend this place, and we had a lovely break there.
