  Myself and my husband went for a short break.

  The accommodation had everything you need for this. Lots of cooking equipment but no instructions how to use any of it ( we did not use anyway). We took teatowels, soap, shampoo, etc but, this is all provided, even though not listed on itinerary. The description of the accommodation was accurate but nothing to say about steep climb up from road if you are walking. The area itself is beautiful, green an lush, went on some lovely walks but again, a lot of ascending inclines. The farm has a menagerie of animals who all come to say hello, particularly Sylvie the cat and mabel, a new foundland, both indulging in having a fuss. Ceri is lovely, willing to help with anything and full of information about the area. We purchased pork pies from her which were amazing- we bought some home too, along with some goat burgers. Could do with a list of produce and prices left in accommodation as they do not have an actual shop. Tha accommodation is quite compact but enough for 2 people. The shower room/ toilet is right next to bed and you cannot open door properly to get into it. We reported the outside lights not working which Ceri came to look at same morning. The hot tub we only managed to use once because of weather, it was great to ease weary bones but, could do with shelter overhead to enable more use. We had not tried this kind of holiday before but would definitely recommend, would like stay in a cottage next time though. Overall, had a lovely few days in beautiful area.

  Inside, the chalet was fantastic.

  Super comfy beds, top quality appliances and utensils with everything that one could need for a comfortable stay. However, access was difficult, steps with no handrail whatsoever proved impossible for my 81 year old husband. We managed by going over the grass and down a slopes the rear of the chalet. We were glad that we read previous comments about lack of non slip shower mat and we took our own. The shower was great but there is a problem with the waste outlet, despite taking out and cleaning the waste trap it still didn't drain away quickly enough to stop the shower tray from filling with water. This meant turning off the shower after a couple of minutes and waiting for it to drain then resuming ones shower. The village shop mentioned in the booklet seems to have closed down. We did enjoy our stay very much despite the problems that I mentioned. Access would be perfectly fine for younger and more agile people. The setting is quiet and peaceful and great for visiting the many beautiful beaches, harbours and villages and of course St David's.

  Firstly, this property is absolutely beautiful and a lot of thought has been put in to make it comfortable.

  We had a fantastic stay, the location is great for exploring and I would highly recommend to future bookers. There were only a couple of small recommendations I would make: some of the seating wasn’t the most comfortable to sit on, especially outside so may some cushions for these. The sliding doors caused a small issue on the first day when one got stuck on the runner and they can’t be opened properly from the inside as there’s no decent handle. The only downside of the holiday was the fact that I contacted the spa operator the week before to book a full body massage for me and my partner. They didn’t reply to any of my messages, despite having read them, and then when they finally responded (the day we arrived) they booked us for the wrong treatment which they only realised a few hours before it was due to take place. This was very disappointing and we decided not to go ahead with it, as it wasn’t what we had asked for. I would suggest a bit more contact when booking these things in future.

  We had an amazing little getaway in the "hobbit hut" / "teletubbie house" for my birthday (Derwen) The pictures of this property do not do it justice!

  Finished to a very modern and high standard, with a functional kitchen that has the basic equipment required. Upon our arrival we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, welsh cakes, milk, eggs and steaming hot tub. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of our trip after alot of walking and sightseeing. Book in advance for a massage with Leah at the spa. A very relaxing experience Yes, the bench sofa isn't the most comfortable but I think it encourages you to go out and enjoy the welsh countryside. The hot water in the shower doesnt last as long as we are use to so have shorter showers. A very peaceful and quiet location. You can see for miles and on a clear night (we didn't get one) maybe see the stars. We will definitely be returning but instead will book the neighbouring hut (Onnen) which is more suited for couples. In responce to a previous review: no birds, no mice, a working fridge and no smoke or smell after cooking.

  Fabulous place.

  Exactly as described and really done to a high quality spec. The hot tub was hot on arrival and exactly what we needed when we arrived. The coordinates that were shared on another review we used to locate the cottage and they were spot on. Absolutely don’t use the postcode, instructions or coordinates only! Our only slight feedback is the seating area which a few people have mentioned before. Great size and perfect for coffee but would suggest not so much for lounging. We went in February so evenings were about being indoors and cosy so noticed the seating then. Maybe a footstool (swapping the gorgeous coffee table) that could be pulled up against the sofa might help? Saying that I’m sure in the summer with doors open, you’d be far less concerned and outside anyway. Brilliant stay and our children now want to live in “the fairy house”. Thank you.
