Stayed here in this lovely cottage for a week . The cottage had everything you could need and lots of little extras that we have not had before wherever we have stayed . The owners of the cottage left a lovely welcome basket for us and were so helpful , it was a lovely quiet and peaceful holiday would recommend staying here . The area is beautiful but you need to travel to the local villages too find somewhere to eat but we don’t recommend the harbour inn in Solva we had an awful meal which was that bad we had to complain to the manager who was really rude so give that one a miss .

We had a fantastic stay. We had everything we needed in the accommodation, which was beautiful presented and clean. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival, including eggs, milk, butter, wine, cake etc. It was nice and peaceful, located by surrounding countryside and only a short drive to Newgale beach. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming, introducing herself on our arrival. Liz was more than happy to provide local information about great places to visit, which we did.We did not meet Kevin on this visit, but hopefully will on our next visit. We would highly recommend this accommodation for a stay in Pembrokeshire.
