We recently stayed a week in Tan y Castell Cottage, sadly we wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage is in a beautiful country setting restored to a very high standard. The large modern kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need. There was also a very generous welcome pack on our arrival. Martin the owner came to meet us and was very friendly and helpful. He said if we needed anything just to call him, there was no need, we had everything we needed and more. We used the log burner a few nights which made the lounge even more cosy. The bedrooms were both to a very high standard and the beds were so comfy. We loved the bathroom with underfloor plus heated towel rails. There was also an extra large shower. There was a hot tub at the back of the property with bathrobes for our usage in each bedroom. The cottage is less than a 10 minute drive to the beautiful town Narberth, with all its quaint shops. It is also a good base to go to the many beautiful beaches, restaurants and pubs. I highly recommend visiting the Cathedral in St David’s. Also, we found an amazing quirky cafe in Narberth called Stopio, the food is excellent. We had breakfast there twice. The cakes looked so delicious. My husband is coeliac and was spoilt for choice, he was very well catered for. Thank you Martin for a wonderful week’s holiday, we can’t wait to return.

Martin was an excellent host.Wish we'd arrived the day before to watch the Northern Lights - imagine that from a hot tub
