Wow! Well what can we say about this little gem. Such an amazing little cottage in an amazing part of the country. I feel as if some peoples reviews under sell this place. We didnt use the log fire as the underfloor heating more than enough. Even our little dog loved it. You do have to travel to go anywhere but the beaches are close enough. Look out for a beach called white sands. Parking charges apply, but worth it. Cardigan is awsome and about 45 mins away. Now onto the cottege and surroundings. Beautiful little building very quiet. Listen out for the crows knocking on the roof lol. I litterally thought builders were doing some work and we were not told. I had to go out and see what the noise was. Very warm, tv and everything else youd expect. Welcome basket was a nice touch. Few little scuff marks or a handle missing but so what? The beauty of this place overrides the negatives in bucketloads. Theres a garage 100 yards as you turn right out of the yard with a little shop. Well decorated throughout. There is nothing you could want as everything is provided for you. We will return at some point. Well worth the 6 hours drive each way.

This is our second holiday at Temple Cottage. We felt it was looking a little tired, there were a few things which needed doing. The handle on the wardrobe was still missing from last year, the radiator in the bathroom didn't heat up and the plug in the bathroom sink didn't work. The patio needed weeding which made it look unkept. We have a small dog and found we had to barricade the gaps in the gate. Some fencing across the gate would easily solve this problem. We have decided to go further into Pembrokeshire next year so we don't have to travel so much. The cottage is beautiful but the view outside the bedroom window isn't so great.
