I knew that for the price I paid for a large property (10 guests) for a week, the property would be "No Frills" and most probably dated. But what I wasn't prepared for was how dirty it was! The welcome we got on arrival was a 'permanent' marker pen message scribbled on the staircase balastrades, telling people not to jump over them. I had to wipe all surfaces in all rooms, hoover everywhere and clean the kitchen. The frying pans and baking/roasting pans were well past their best and had to buy a frying pan as the ones provided looked dreadful. Everything we intended to use for the week we put in the dishwasher on a really hot wash. The dish washer was constantly not able to drain, despite constantly cleaning the filter. The kettles and toasters were disgusting, one kettle had rust inside it! The slow cooker was absolutely gross, the kitchen in general was terrible. My husband had to repair the washing machine as it was clogged up in the filter, dont think it had ever been cleaned. The downstairs shower room and toilet were cold and damp with no heating whatsoever, one morning we got up to a pool of water in the corridor which we had to mop up and dry. Cobwebs hung like chandeliers in the bedrooms and the carpets looked as though they hadn't been hoovered in months. I appreciate the owner is elderly, but she really does need to get a deep clean done on the property, or better still employ someone to clean it properly. Overall I would definitely not recommend. Also Not mentioned in the property details are the 11 steps down to the kitchen, someone with mobility issues would find it challenging.

Great location for exploring everything in Pembrokeshire. The accommodation is very large and the gardens are fantastic if taking dogs. Mrs Jones is great and very friendly hope I can be as active as she is at that age. Kids and grandkids loved it and will not disappoint Only hassle was no working hoover
