Summary:

“Pretty, comfy cottage in lovely location”

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. Private but not isolated. The cottage is decorated in soft, warm, cosy colours with all the comforts of home and a woodburner.

Feels like a home, not your usual holiday cottage. The underfloor heating is positively luxurious. Lots of books and games to enjoy if the weather is a bit dodgy.

Close to the coastal path with some really special places to visit close by. Would definitely return. Loved it!!

Specifically Recommend:

Walk to the lighthouse

Local Gems:

St Davids, Solva, Newport and Porthgain all well worth a visit.

Farmers Arms in Mathry and The Bishops in St. Davids - both serving good food.

Summary:

“A relaxing, chilling holiday which takes one back to the less frenetic times of days gone by”

We had seen the cottage being renovated on the TV programme about a Pembrokeshire farm and it looked good but when we actually arrived it exceeded our expectations. It was traditional but with the much needed modern twist ie the dishwasher and heating system.

This cottage is very typically an old Pembrokeshire cottage just like the one we stayed in when we were children, but it is warm and inviting and has all the modern conveniences in a very sympathetic style. It was comfortable with plenty of room for our party.

Having stayed in a Pembrokeshire cottage for many years as children in the 1960s this was a pleasant nostalgic visit. As said, we stayed in the typical old Pembrokeshire cottage but with a sympathetic modern twist. To look out on sheep grazing with nothing else in sight when cleaning one’s teeth was wonderful!

The area is time-warped and a great form of relaxation from our hectic lifestyles. The mobile phone couldn’t receive a signal which I think is a blessing and adds to the peace and relaxation.

The roads are narrow but places are easily accessible and driving is a pleasure. I am biased about Pembrokeshire but if you want peace and tranquility then visit in early May and you won’t be disappointed.

Specifically Recommend:

The peace and tranquilly of the area.

The views from the cottage and the comfortable environment

Be Aware:

There are no mirrors in the bedroom! This could be deemed as OK as one doesn’t need to preen all the time!

I think a cupboard in the bedroom with two single beds would have been appreciated.

Local Gems:

St. David’s Cathedral and the new Art Gallery in St. David’s

En Route:

We came from Wirral and Abereiron is a good place to stop and admire the view particularly from the road going down into the town.
