Me, my husband and our two children stayed at tan y Castell cottage for one week early August, and we really enjoyed our stay, it’s perfect for us as we enjoy the peace and quiet and the beautiful scenery. The cottage was very clean with modern up to date amenities making it very comfortable to stay, the stairs however can be tricky as they are very steep and narrow. We loved the hot tub, and took advantage of the bbq too! Word of advice, there is no local shop within walking distance, but Narberth is a 5 min drive and has a great high street with shops and restaurants.
