  Carnorfa is a lovely cottage ideally located near the centre of the village with quick access to shops and pubs.

  It's bit like a Tardis, looks small from the outside but very roomy inside. Basement has a bathroom with full bath and a small living room with TV. The entrance floor has the well equipped kitchen with a washing machine and separate dryer and a dishwasher. A large cooker with all the pots and pans you may need and a coffee machine. Pleasantly surprised by the welcome back - butter, bread, milk, etc. The fresh bread was fantastic! The living room had two sofas and an arm chair and a gas fire. The TV was a smart TV. Upstairs was a bathroom with a nice tub and a separate shower and two bedrooms. The top floor had sky lights with views to the sea additional seating and another shower room and a very comfortable bed. All the showers were pressure showers apart from the one in the basement which was electric. The street is a little narrow but there is enough space to park your car but remember to place the bin in the space when you go anywhere. Near by there are a few pubs - we tried them all and all had something different. Don't forget to try the cellar bar! We were there in early April and not everything is open all week at that time so make the most of going out from Thursday to Sunday. Day trip to St David's is a must along with was walk along the coastal path there. Stunning scenery awaits you!. Allow about 2 hours for the walk which is mostly flat except towards the end. Overall, Carnorfa is an ideal place to stay at and the property is modern and well looked after and equipped with the everything that is of high quality. You get what you pay for!

  We have just returned from a wonderful week at Dolwern.

  It was our first visit but will definitely not be our last. Having read the reviews from previous visitors, our expectations we pretty high. Amazingly though, this beautiful house completely exceeded all expectations. Within our party were my two young grandchildren (5 & 7); my elderly father and his sister (95 and 94) and various ages in between. The house really was suitable for everybody. The downstairs ensuite bedroom was perfect for my frail father and the children loved the bunk beds. Everybody loved the garden and all of its amazing features. The information provided by the owners before and during our stay was exceptional and we were left in no doubt that they genuinely cared about their guests. As others have mentioned, there are some wonderful walks, literally on the doorstep. My son and the children enjoyed walking to the beach at Cwm-yr-Eglwys via the path at the end of the garden. I was able to drive there with my dad, where the car park is right next to the beach. It really is a beautiful spot. The locals we encountered we very friendly and welcoming, including the landlady at The Ship Aground, just up the road. A really nice pub with a lovely beer garden. We would recommend The Golden Lion at nearby Newport, for eating out. We actually went on 3 successive evenings and the food and service was excellent each time. All in all, I cannot recommend Dolwern highly enough. Huge thanks to Rich and Leigh, whose care and attention to detail really did make for a wonderful holiday.

  Castle coach house is so lovely, beautifully finished with lots of space and light.

  There is a great utility / boot room which helps keep all the mud out of the main house. The bedrooms upstairs have great proportions and yet feel very cosy, plenty of bathrooms! The open plan kitchen, dining and living space gives everyone the space they need. Sofas and chairs are comfortable. The different lighting options helps to make the mood right in the evening. Lots of classic furniture and trinkets to keep it feeling homely and interesting. The kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games to be used. We absolutely loved the house. Couple of things to work on: maintenance of the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, extractor fans etc is probably due. The sitting room area could do with a picture or two or a wooden dresser with the tv inside a cabinet, and get rid of the fender which takes up space and looks a bit odd. The enclosed garden wasn’t enclosed as the gate is broken. It’s also unfortunately a muddy bog which may be tricky to figure out as it’s at the bottom of a hill. I felt a bit sad being right next to lovely garden areas of the castle which have private signs on them all so you can’t use them.

  We booked this cottage as loved the look of the garden.

  It did not disappoint! The garden is gorgeous, the Astro turf is brilliant baby was able to play out. We were blessed with lovely weather not a single rainy day. The kitchen is very well equipped with quality equipment. Loved the large fridge which was perfect for our family size. Loved the highchair available to use for baby. Good quality hoover. Loved the open plan kitchen and living room, in the evenings could watch TV with the children whilst preparing food. Although this is a semi detached cottage it is very secluded! The drive is narrow but you can park in the front perfectly fine. I did love how though Rich the owner gives you good instructions how to drive in the driveway and out. Rich the owner was always reachable and very helpful. In the local area we really enjoyed cardigan farm park, Newport beach and white sands bay near St David’s Lovely ice cream also in the shack in Fishguard, caffi mawr at Newport beach and also in St David’s! Really enjoyable relaxing holiday and we would love to return!

  The cottage is beautiful, modern farmhouse style.

  The rooms are great size and the house was so cozy, especially for visiting in November. The waterbed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and warm with the heated option. My son loved seeing all the animals in the field in front of the property. The views around the house were amazing, looking right down the valley. A couple of tweaks would make this property 5 out of 5; oven gloves and an additional oven shelf as there was only one in the kitchen, basic essentials such as salt, pepper and oil in the kitchen. There was a lot of dust in the house and unfortunately we found dog dirt embedded in the rug in the living room, which had been there for a long time. The shower ran incredibly hot! We notified the owner who looked at it and it cooled it slightly but it was still a lot hotter than is comfortable and had to bathe my toddler in the bath to prevent any potential burns. Please note, there is also no WI-FI at the property even though it was listed in the property details.
