  The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable and the owner was helpful putting things right as necessary.

  What let the cottage down was the basics not being available. No hand wash in the kitchen, the tiniest amount of washing up liquid, not one dishwasher tablet, no fire starter pack, one solitary toilet roll, the smallest welcome pack we have ever experienced, 2 tea bags, 2 instant coffee sachets, pint milk - welsh cakes were appreciated though, no spare bin bags, resolved, no hot tub towels, resolved, no washing line or clothes maiden, resolved. We don't expect all inclusive and we bring provisions it did feel that the basics were skimped on. The lack of a visitors book was a real shame, as they can be so helpful with previous visitors recommendations. There is an information pack however it is out of date. We went to a market detailed in there to find is ceased trading a year ago and the farm shop has very little there not worth the drive. Some of the places recommended are a long way from the cottage. As previous visitors have mentioned, the bathroom can become smelly at times, the lack of net curtains in the bedroom creates a lack of privacy. The hot tub recommended temperature of 34 degrees creates a luke warm tub and is nowhere near hot enough. We have rented several properties with hot tubs and have never encountered this. It should be declared on the listing, I would not book a cottage that insisted on this. Again, this felt like a cost cutting exercise. Overall, an absolutely lovely property and the owner was helpful. We had a lovely time staying there, just needs a bit more attention to visitors' needs.

  Overall it was a good stay, the cottage had many good points but there are a lot of improvements which could be made.

  Good points: the location is great, ample parking, good secure garden for dogs, warm tap outside to wash down the dog, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were nicely done Improvements: the house was freezing when we arrived and took 2 days to warm up. There is a lot of unnecessary, old, and dirty furniture downstairs and in the bedrooms which were full of junk and are unusable for guests. The lounge furniture was not comfortable, needs better sofas and armchairs. One of the dining chairs was broken and could be dangerous. The kitchen was fairly well stocked but some of the equipment was not good, eg frying pans with the coating coming off. The hoover was useless, we tried to clear up after muddy boots and dogs but it was hopeless. The cottage wasn’t very clean when we arrived, there were items of clothing left from previous guests.

  Amazing. The Dairy has been beautifully renovated recently and we laughed that it was probably better equipped than out own home! We came to stay here for our 'mini-moon' the day after we got married, with our little Westie dog. It was the perfect relaxation after the hectic pre-wedding. We are keen walkers so there was easy access to the coastal path etc. but sat in the pristine garden it was so tranquil. We had a lovely card from the hosts as I think Rural Retreats must have passed on that we'd just got married - it was really appreciate thank you; the hosts are also lovely - keep themselves to themselves but happy to chat if they are around. We were so sad to leave. I really cannot fault it at all.

  Fantastic cottage, large yet comfy, with great off-street parking.

  The lounge is comfy with a wood burner and a decent TV with smart box & really good internet connection. The kitchen is large and has everything you will need to self-cater. The weather was atrocious for a few days when we visited, so we enjoyed just chilling out in the cottage between storms. Trefin is a small but really nice village, ideally located for Fishguard, Newport beach and St David. There is a local pub a very short walk away, as is the coast path. Will defiantly visit again, hopefully the weather will allow us to walk the coast path more next time.
