  Minafon is comfortable, cosy spotlessly clean and well equipped.

  It is perfectly situated to explore the local area of outstanding natural beauty, with plenty of easy access walks to the nearby coast path, beach ‘s and golf course. The town and pubs/ eateries being a short walk up the hill..But beware the speeding milk tankers down the little lane! Jo, the owner, met us and made us feel welcome. The yummy cake, and stocked beer/wine fridge was a lovely addition and most welcome after a long journey. There were plenty of fresh clean bath towels and a thoughtful basket of dog and beach towels. The showers are particularly good with plenty of hot water… however the en-suite shower cubicle is quite small, the downstairs shower is spacious enough with lots of room to manoeuvre. The beds are comfy with good quality bedding and a choice of pillows, all smelling clean and fresh.The view from the main bedroom giving lovely views of the estuary. The garden is pretty and dog friendly, providing a space to eat outside or just sit with a cuppa and a book. I think the only thing we missed was a long mirror and a radio/speaker in the kitchen and a bbq.. (Although costly to install, a wood burner in the lounge would make a cosy place to cwtch and snuggle down in winter). We enjoyed our stay even if the weather wasn’t the best..The house made up for it and the young adults in our party had no complaints about the WiFi! We will return .. Thank you so much.

  I booked Palau Farm for a surprise family get together for my wife’s 60th birthday and all I can say is ‘wow’.

  The location is amazing and the views stunning. The property itself was perfect for us with the large open plan kitchen and seating area at one end with doors opening up to that view providing a great place to sit and chat/play board games and eat. The kitchen and utility room were extremely well equipped although a vacuum cleaner and broom would have been useful to be able to tidy up before leaving. Had it been cold enough to use, the wood burner and supply of wood in the lounge the other end of the property would have been another great facility. We couldn’t get the Sky boxes to work but the internet was reliable and fast enough for the ample supply of apps pre loaded on the TV’s to provide something to watch in the evenings. During the day, who needs tv with a view like that! Many hours spent watching the sheep and goats roaming in the farms ground. The icing on the cake for us was standing outside and seeing the Northern Lights. Not supplied by the property :) but a fantastic part of our time there. We have only been back a day and are already missing the views. A big thank you to the owner for the effort put into making Pyllau Farm a fantastic holiday home, we will definitely be returning.

  When we entered the property there was a smell that wasn’t very nice and hard to work out what it was as everywhere looked very clean. It did go once the doors were open. We later discovered it was a really stinky hoover that smelled of pungent dirty dogs when you used it. This needs a good clean of the filters. The boxed in stairs are a really dangerous hazard on the ground floor where it sticks out at a low level. My wife hit her head badly when going to the bookshelf. There needs to be a warning for this. Tv was too from the seating for us oldies. Our sight not so good. Garden was perfect and secure. Location was perfect for Southwold. Beautiful old building and very bright. Furniture and decor a little dated in the lounge. Twin room looks lovely. Bedroom lovely too. The shelves in the en suite are loose and need tightening as they slope. Everything kept falling off. Just a few minor things that could easily rectified and we would have scored full. We would love to stay here again snd would definately recommend to our friends.

  Whilst the let was on the surface neat and tidy as an elderly couple with a dog couldn't recommend it the sofa was extremely uncomfortable the two recliners were comfy but too low I spent the entire holiday sitting on a dining chair the beds were too cramped apart from the double the lack of fresh air in the bedrooms we found stifling and so sleep wasn't good shower and bath good toilets child sized and very poorly situated like the downstairs sink why put it opposite the hot dryer rail bend over and you burn your backside when washing your face the outside garden I'm not sure that was described accurately it was unusable no access from house you have to walk round the row of houses up a steep slippery overgrown path get in the garden (I use garden loosely) to the deck which may be classed as fit for use but we didn't use it once car parking didn't get use of it once during the holiday description of waste disposal also needs addressed better our verdict will be don't use to anyone

  We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

  The house is beautifully finished, clean and comfortable. Jo was extremely welcoming with great communication prior to and throughout our stay. There were lovely little touches everywhere and generous welcome treats including a delicious homemade coffee and walnut cake. My whole family and I felt so at home for the week we stayed. There were 8 adults, 2 babies and a small dog in our party yet it never felt crowded in the house, there was plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The house is perfectly located in Newport, a stones throw from the estuary and a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the village. Newport and the surrounding area has so much to offer. We definitely hope to return to this fantastic house in the future.
