  Awen Ingli is a lovely home, with an emphasis on the last word!

  The lovely pieces of art, sturdy and pretty plates, cups and bowls, the gorgeous blankets in the living room and scatter cushions, as well as the comfy beds and toasty heating all greatly enhanced our comfort and elevated this lovely property beyond your usual holiday-home feel. There are too many thoughtful touches to list, but we appreciated them all, thank you. My top amenity was the eight-hob gas oven and two-over + grill. I'm an enthusiastic cook and baker and this was a fantastic support to my efforts :) Any improvements I have to suggest are in this area - I would suggest the addition of one very large saucepan, and perhaps a mid-size one slightly larger than those already there. These would be very handy for batch / entertaining cooking, but won't always be needed day-to-day and could perhaps be stored in the window corner of the living room as I appreciate space is tight in the kitchen. Also a couple of spatulas would be handy. However, we worked the galley kitchen pretty hard, and it was well up to the job. We loved Awen Ingli's location more or less right in the village and within a few mins of the estuary walk, which we did I think every day with our delighted cocker spaniel. The village crafts shops are lovely for browsing and the butchers TG Davies is fantastic with all manner of prepared meat pastries, butcher's-own sausages, Welsh thick bacon and plenty besides, as well as veg. The village Spar was open right through Christmas and the Wholefood Store has fantastic breads. The village antique shop adds another element - my collector son was delighted with a couple of purchases there and the owner was so friendly. The Castle Inn staff and drinks selection were top notch. All in all, we'd consider it a bit of a risk to book any other village if doing an extended family Christmas away again!

  We were very impressed with Swallow Cottage in terms of facilities, cleanliness and comfort. Warm, welcoming and we were never without. It was perfect to come back to at the end of a long, tiring wet day! The host welcomed us with a generous hospitality tray with snacks as well as drinks. Hand soap, washing liquid and laundry liquid are all provided. The tumble dryer is communal and there's a little extra charge when used, but the communal washing line can be used on dry days. The carpark is along the drive as you come in, so it's a short walk to get to the cottages but a pull-alone wagon is available for you to pile your luggage into. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans and knives that are actually sharp! There were even plastic bowls etc for the kids. The photos of the children's play area on this website don't do it justice - there's a wendy house, pirate ship, a selection of ride-on cars/tractors - all in an area safely gated away from the carpark. Probably suited up to age 5 or 6, but there's a larger climbing frame in the back garden for older ones. There's literally a shed full of toys/games for visitors to borrow, including beach toys and windbreakers. The owner lives onsite and was friendly and quickly available to help when we had questions. The location was ideal as it was only about 30mins drive to beaches and attractions either north or south Pembs, with a Tesco Extra only 5 mins drive away. We liked Tenby (larger choice of ice cream and fish/chip vendors!) And Heatherton world of activities was an excellent alternative to all the beaches. Haverfordwest itself has a castle and museum but currently closed.

  We had a great time and would like to return.

  But there were a few issues that needs some attention. The kettle is broken. The switch that opens the lid is broken and we had to fill the kettle through the spout. The wooden frame in bathroom is rotting so each time we opened the window, the long catch along the bottom came adrift - the screws that attach it couldn't stay in the wooden window frame as it's rotting so we had to stop opening the bathroom window which was unpleasant at times. Each time the shower was used it leaked through the floor and living room ceiling, dripping onto the floor but very close to the TV which concerned us. We used a pot to catch the dripping water. The tray the toaster was on had crumbs from previous people and so did a casserole dish that we wanted to use . However, these problems didn't spoil our enjoyment of the cottage. It was very warm and comfortable. The beds and pillows were especially comfortable. The location is good for the places we wanted to visit. The grounds are pleasant but the pond could do with some attention. The problems we mentioned did not in any way detract from our enjoyment of the holiday and we have just mentioned them because if they could be resolved the cottage would be perfect.

  The location of cottage was lovely.

  We enjoyed the walk to local beach and nice clean town and eateries. The furniture in cottage was very nice and quite comfortable.Nice wooden table and twinkly light. Ameneties were adequate. Shortage of toilet roll.No washing up liquid, we left a bottle. See thru door into ensuite shower room and broken window glass to outside. Small shower was very powerfull- lovely. Disappointed no small welcoming pack. We didn't have the parking permit so was allowed to park on the grass verge.The rubbish bins were full outside but we recycled in the next door carpark. The cottage definitely needs some TLC! I Wiped down all handles , light switches and crockery before we used. A small bin was not emptied, full of ladies sanitary wear. Washing machine rubber was mouldy. Fridge was dirty in the grooves. Doors had splashes down them.Cobwebs. Small sink in Main bathroom with glass shelf above meant washing difficult. Everything needed a good clean.Corners etc ......A little disappointed with Sykes..

  The Location is quiet and secluded while still be close to amenities - especially with a lovely pub a few doors up the country road.

  The mix of quaint cottages and huts with lamas in the field with a BBQ and sitting areas scattered about is restful and relaxing, a lovely place for the whole family. The cottage we stayed in was lovely and homely, my only rug bare would be the wifi is weak and non existent upstairs (used my phone as a hotspot to boost the wifi upstairs) could use a booster within the property, the water pressure upstairs was a bit weak, and with the size of the bath takes a long time to fill and empties the hot water storage, and the bath is more a sitting bath rather a relaxing bath (maybe a large bath pillow could help) But my main issue was the mattresses, they are imo past due replacing (toppers can save only so much). IMO with better quality mattress' and a jet bath installed with a small bit of updating about, the price cap could easily be raised accordingly or more occupancy. Our overall stay was amazing, a home from home, quiet, undisturbed stay with everything you could need on hand
