Another absolutely beautiful stay in our favourite place. The cottage feels like a home from home, so relaxing. Only a short drive to St Davids and many beautiful beaches. There is a supermarket not too far a drive from the cottage, plus a petrol station with a Spar shop with all you might require just a short walk away. Perfect stay for us and our doggie who loves it there. Cannot wait to come again.

Cottage was comfortable, clean and well stocked. The adjoining main road is pretty busy and quite noisy. The hamlet has a garage and well stocked shop but the local pub is shut. There is nothing else around, so driving is pretty much essential. But I would definitely recommend the cottage and area is you like coastal path walks with pets etc.

Our second or maybe third visit to Temple Cottage and we love it. It is perfect for us and our little dog 👏 However I do wish that the TV was directly linked to an ordinary aerial and not the internet as it isn’t the easiest way to navigate the programming, but that doesn’t diminish the overall experience we have had. We are booked into Temple House later in the year and really looking forward to our visit as we know the area so well.
