  We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Y Felin.

  Upon arrival the cottage was clean and there was tea, coffee, butter, milk, sugar and welsh cakes left for us. Chris was a lovely host, very friendly and helpful. He gave lots of suggestions on places to visit nearby. When we arrived we were surprised with runner ducks wondering and this made the experience even better. Plenty of land for the dogs to run around on. The cottage is rural but not a far walk or drive to things nearby. We had a lovely Sunday dinner just 2 minutes away and the pub was dog friendly. Most places in Fishguard and Cardigan were dog friendly to our surprise. The only reason for not giving a full score was the accuracy of the advert. We were under the impression that there was a secure field for the dogs, both dogs could get under the gate. We also didn’t realise until after booking that although it’s a dog friendly cottage the dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture or carpeted areas and that they cannot be left whilst possibly going down to the local pub for food/drink. Luckily we had taken a crate and this didn’t bother us but I think it’s worth noting in the ad (it may have been but we hadn’t noticed this until we’d been sent details after booking). Overall we enjoyed our visit very much and will definitely be recommending to others. We are hoping to return in the future. Beautiful setting and a beautiful cottage.

  Cottage was ok, cleanliness questionable, within an hour of arrival our dog had drunk from her water bowl and splashed over the edges, so my partner used some kitchen towel to mop it up and the paper was dark brown with dirt.

  The welcome folder said we would be greeted on arrival by the owners, which didn’t happen and during the week they hardly spoke at all. We were left two toilet rolls for the entire week, would expect to be left around four or so, no kitchen towel, lucky we took our own. Settee in lounge had seen much better days, had to put a cushion under the part you sit on to prevent sliding off the front. But best of all we asked if the heating could be put on just in the evenings as it was chilly during our stay, which in the welcome folder said could be done, only to be told it was controlled centrally and was already on 19 or 20 degrees. This was ridiculous because at home we put our heating on those temperatures if a chilly evening and our radiators feel very hot, the radiators at the holiday home were never even lukewarm and I believe weren’t even on !! The owners offered us some logs to put the wood burner on, but this was in the bedroom at the far end of the property and we didn’t want a hot bedroom that would smell of woodsmoke making our clothes stink as well. Lastly, the tea towels were disgusting, they were so stained that anybody else would have thrown them out years ago. Apart from that it was fine.

  I am fortunate to stay in a lot of holiday cottages around Cornwall and the West Wales coast.

  I can honestly say that i have now found the best i have stayed in. The location is fantastic. I have a dog, the area is dog friendly and fantastic beaches. Its own garden, off road just enough with a pub 300 yds away (colourful locals) and great food. The beach at Newport is fantastic and a 5 minute drive away. With great local shops and pubs etc. It is not a touristy place, with a very chilled vibe. Which is exactly what i want, if you want to try a busier place for the day Newquay is a short drive, or Tenby an hour. The cottage itself is fantastic, well appointed with everything you need for a week away, the decor, furnishings and kitchen etc is everything that you need. The outside, a great garden, well maintained by Chris, bbq, firepit and hot tub. Plenty of parking etc. Then last but not least, the hosts Lesley and Chris. The nicest people you will ever meet, full of information about the area and anything you may need, and nothing too much trouble. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, it really is that good. I am already looking at weeks for next year. Neil.

  Very friendly welcome and lots of local information, both in a printed book and email before the stay.

  Warm and cozy cottage, even without using the wood burner. Absolutely everything seemed to be considered in the fittings and equipment. The area is interesting historically and has fantastic, easily accessible beaches, open to dogs out of peak season. There is a field next to the property ideal for exercising dogs if there are no sheep etc. Lots of delightful dog friendly pubs with good food. Only problem I had, with having quite bad arthritis at the moment, I found the internal stairs a bit of a challenge so wouldn’t recommend this particular cottage to someone with limited mobility. Having said that, I wouldn’t have missed the experience and the lovely warm hot tub amply compensated. Chris and Lesley are a lovely couple with a wealth of knowledge of the local area and life in general. We were with my son and his partner, celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary and we all (including the dogs) had a very special time.

  If you desire peace and quiet avoid this property!

  The proximity to the A487 was advised, however the glazing provides nominal sound proofing. The heating air source pump is internal and exceptionally loud. Thereby turning this off to sleep then means no underfloor heating and no hot water in the morning for 2-3 hours: hardly a desirable choice. The small holding element may include a local farmer covering the top field with slurry. This potential was part of our welcome narrative and fortunately did not materialise. The owners dwelling is very close and we were treated to scaffolders and roofers starting work at 8am midweek and chose to cut short our stay. For the £25 supplement for the dog you get an electronic receipt from Sykes!! (To be clear and aligned to the owner's guidance), this is not a very dog friendly property. With so many Pembrokeshire options available I urge you to look further. We made a very bad choice with Y Felin at Coed Cadw.
