  We’ve just returned from a lovely Christmas at Abbey Farm.

  We did however have a number of issue most of which were resolved but involved a lot of phone calls/text messages. When we arrived on Thursday the Aga in the kitchen had gone out and with it being the only heat source in the kitchen it was so cold. This took 36 hrs to resolve but it was hot by Saturday morning. We had terrible weather almost the entire week with driving rain and wind so that didn’t help. We were unable to use the hot tub due to the awful weather which was a shame. The heating system is a little hit and miss and some of the radiators don’t heat up at all. I bled a couple on the top floor as it was so cold up there and the pressure dropped so low the boiler went out. Unable to find the boiler due to it being in a locked room I contacted the owner who arranged for somebody to came out very quickly but it took quite some time to heat the house again. Two of our party being elderly and fed up with the weather and now cold house, left on the Wednesday morning. The WiFi is not great and because all the TVs/Alexas are run on this there were times when it didn’t work at all. As it was Christmas we had Christmas music on and movies on for kids and going off was a regular occurrence. Just frustrating but I do appreciate the weather could have played a part in this too. It would be handy to have a hoover left somewhere accessible not locked behind a door. The shower room on the top floor is very cold as there is no radiator and the shower head is too small for such a large shower. The kitchen was well equipped but I would suggest a few more large serving spoons and large serving plates and fish slices/egg servers. With 13 people in the house cooking and serving with cheap plastic utensils wasn’t easy. The upstairs living room with massive screen was great but cold as it only has one radiator and is a big room. Also the sofas are a little small and hard. As a large family party getting together for the first time in 3 years and paying what we feel was a lot of money for a really special week, we just felt the house was lacking the wow factor and a little tlc. It could be amazing with a little more thought and attention. The welcome pack however was the best we’ve ever had and the owner was always available and apologetic when problems did occur.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lodge with a group of 10 adults, and I must say it was an exceptional experience.

  The lodge's interior was beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, making our stay convenient and hassle-free. The cleanliness of the lodge was impeccable, and the spaciousness was a pleasant surprise, giving us plenty of room to relax and unwind. The kitchen was well-appointed, allowing us to prepare our meals effortlessly. The lounge area was outstanding, with comfortable sofas that were perfect for lounging and socializing. The bedrooms were a good size, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathrooms were large and spotlessly clean, featuring excellent showers that offered a refreshing start to our days. The icing on the cake was the nice hot tub, which provided a soothing and enjoyable way to relax after our adventures. What truly stood out was how accommodating the lodge was to our needs. The landlord was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure our stay was nothing short of fantastic. The lodge's location in a nice area added to the overall appeal, allowing us to enjoy the natural surroundings. The only minor issue we encountered during our stay was that the TV in the main lounge had a crackly sound when we turned up the volume. However, this was a minor inconvenience that did not significantly detract from our overall enjoyment of the lodge. The other wonderful amenities and the excellent service we received more than made up for this small hiccup. In summary, our stay at this lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful decor to the comfortable amenities and the accommodating landlord, it was a memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

  Extremely spacious and comfortable.

  The accommodation was very well situated, with many local amenities available. The kitchen and dining area are a great size, with lots of storage available. The living room spaces and bedrooms were also all very well-sized, and the beds were very comfy. The Wendover Pub itself was also really good, and we didn't hear any noise from the pub during our stay. There were a few little issues, but nothing that can't be easily fixed: the TV in the second sitting room (not in the kitchen area) was temperamental, with the picture and sound quality dipping at various points; the blinds in the first bedroom (by the sitting room) were broken and lying on the floor when we arrived (we placed them back up, but they're not affixed, so they could come down again if disturbed); there was only one pan in the kitchen, so cooking for a large group was a little difficult at times; there were a few broken or damaged items in the accommodation (glass table in the main sitting room was cracked, multiple curtain hooks had been pulled off, legs on one of the couches in the second sitting room had come off (we fixed them back on, but they could potentially come off again if the couch was moved)); some of the areas/work surfaces were a little dusty and/or sticky). However, these are all minor issues that could easily be rectified, and didn't significantly impact our stay. Overall, it was a very affordable, spacious and pleasant accommodation that I would highly recommend to others.

  General Feedback: We (7x adults and 6 children (14yo - 9months) had a wonderful stay during May half term 2023.

  Plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was the centre of all gatherings with plenty of equipment to help feed us all. Pool table was a big hit with the bigger kids. The beach is a short walk (less than 10 mins) away, coastal walks beautiful and the 9-hole golf course (also a short walk) challenging but enjoyable. Easy drive into the Lake District with lots of close lakes to go and explore and returning at the end of the day for a relax in the hot tub. Overall a fantastic stay with a group of friends and family. Feedback for the owner: Would be helpful to be able to open the windows in the games room. It got hot in the room when the weather is warm and there's lots of ppl there. The fridge furtherest from the back door was too cold as it froze all our veggies in the crisper. I did change the setting but not sure if that had much of an impact. Would be helpful to have some oven gloves. The bedroom next to the kitchen - curtains need stronger hooks (not plastic) as the curtain is very heavy and very easily slips off the hooks when opening/closing.

  Lovely house in a great position with good parking.

  We were a party of 6 adults, so we’re able to each have an ensuite. 4 needed to work at times, and the property allowed each of them privacy to conduct their meetings. There was a bit of an issue with wifi and 4g, but the best areas for use were soon sussed. Kitchen facilities are great and we managed a BBQ a couple of nights. Hot Tub was lovely. Easy walk downhill into town. We had a lovely lunch at the Stone Crab and a evening meal at Coast (chose the tasting menu). You need to book at these places well in advance. Stone Crab seems to have a permanent ‘sorry we’re fully booked’ board outside and it is usually a couple of weeks before they have any vacancies. Narberth has some lovely shops, went on a sea safari from Tenby, Picton Castle is a great day out, with a Spanish restaurant on site. Blas restaurant (we booked ahead) at St Davids was very good. Beaches are beautiful. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again.
