What our customers say about their holidays

  Firstly, we have to say the location of the property was superb for our needs.

  Unfortunately, the cottage had a "not very clean feel" as soon as we walked in. We weren't sure what it was, as the cottage on first impression was very well presented, taking into consideration the age. Our initial feel about the property was unfortunately confirmed during our stay. The first thing that came to light was when we removed a shelf from the fridge to fit in the provisions we took with us, and we noticed an open carton of almond milk, and more disturbingly mould growing on the back of one of the shelves. Then whilst siting in the lounge we noticed quite a few "bits" on the floor (but unfortunately we couldn't address this as we were unable to get any of the vacuum cleaners to work); and when we removed the bin liner from the kitchen bin on leaving, the bin had obviously not been washed for a while. The bed was very comfortable but when we stripped the bed on leaving, I noticed the mattress protector and duvet were both stained. We didn’t like the large rug in the bathroom and felt that the tiles were more hygienic, but we appreciate that these may become slippery when wet. It would have been useful to have cleaning products and cloths etc in the bathroom to clean the bath after use. On the subject of cleaning products, the bare minimum left for our use i.e. one washing machine tablet, a tiny bit of washing up liquid in the bottom of the bottle, the same for the handwash and one loo roll just smacked of miserly. For us the attention to detail by the cleaners, and the measly provisions let this property down.

  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  Just finished our 3 nights at Trewen.

  Absolutely fantastic property. 3 families, 6 adults and 6 kids and we all had an absolutely fantastic time. The house us huge with loads of space for everyone and finished to such a good standard as it just been completed. The property is kitted out in every room with towels and comfy beds/pillows, all with en suites which are all excellent. The family room has a bath. It was spotless when we arrived and all decorated for Christmas with mince pie, sweets and treats left for us. Unfortunately it was raining the entire time were there and we couldn't enjoy the huge outdoor space available. The drive is so big you could fit plenty of cars on it. I can't praise this property enough. More plus points: Heated bathroom floors, heated throughout (it is so warm we had to turn the heating off most of the time), you can't hear people down stairs when you are upstairs, the kitchen is amazing with two fridges and freezers, induction hob, huge oven and combi, loads of plates, cutlery etc, so much space for everyone to do their own thing and didn't hear a thing from the farm which is right outside. We didn't get to meet the owner but we all wish we had to say thank you! We will be going back! Tip: The directions to the property were spot on, however the postcode isn't quite straight to the house, so for anyone tech savvy, the what3words for the house entrance are websites.inflation.skirt! Enjoy!

  What a lovely little gem of a property!

  Away from it all, but near enough to the beach (1 mile) and the local shops/cafes. Really quiet other than the natural countryside noises and a total sun trap when the weather is nice, which it was all week. Some have commented on the lane going to the property which is indeed narrow, but its perfectly negotiable and I never actually encountered another vehicle when driving. For info I drive a 4x4 so unless you're trying to drive down a lorry I think you'll be ok. Perfect for walkers, with me and the dog clocking up over 90 miles in the week. The local pubs can get VERY busy on the weekend in summer as can the beach, but there are much quieter ones further afield in the car. The house is west facing, so can get VERY hot in the sun so best keep the curtains closed. It would benefit from blackout curtains in the bedroom such as those in the lounge but I guess this is down to personal preference. Please note there is also no washing machine here, so get your elbow grease ready for the handwash! Alternatively there is an laundry in the village. Hosts are tremendous and couldn't do enough. Local amenities are grand, including an emergency visit to the vets who couldn't help enough. All that remains to say is diolch!

  1st negative review we have ever left.

  The kitchen is not that well equipped and yes we looked in all the cupboards. The kitchen light turned up on the dimmer is awful, there are 4 battery push lights 3 were dead and the other was a waste of time. The toilet has been replaced and what a bodge. All the woodwork behind the toilet is mouldy. There’s mould and damp in several place’s, bathroom, corner of the bedroom and all around the front door and window. There must have been a leak because the laminate is uneven and breaking up in place’s. Also anybody under 5ft 6” will not reach the mug’s and glasses. Last but not least, (sorry least) was the pathetic welcome pack. We were left 4 satchet’s of milk 2 tea bag’s a bit of coffee and 4 satchet’s of sugar. Oh nearly forget 4 single biscoff biscuit’s. We have rented cottage’s for year’s and we have alway’s been left at least a pint of milk, tea bag’s, coffee and sugar to make several drink’s. They also told us check in was not till 4pm, the cleaner’s didn’t leave till 4pm and all the floor’s were wet. On a positive note the area is beautiful and the food in the ship inn was excellent.
