Spotless fully equipped cottage + warm welcome to ensure everything was as we expected/wished. Ideal location for exploring coastal and other walks.
Almost everything was perfect: location (tranquil, embedded in nature and landscape, but still close to the coast and settlements), equippment (quite modern and practical), enough space, rooms bright enough and nicely decorated, ample parking space, very nice host etc. Particularly in the morning, we could have done with a little bit of heating ...
We love this cottage! Beautifully presented , immaculately clean and in a stunning location. Lovely to find delicious home grown tomatoes in the fridge too. Many thanks
This such a lovely cottage. It’s in a great position, and is very comfortable and beautifully presented. The kitchen was the best equipped holiday cottage kitchen we have come across. The hosts are also extremely welcoming. We had a great holiday here. .
Well appointed cottage with a fabulous Welcome Hamper. Friendly unobtrusive neighbours who were on hand should you need them. Very dog friendly with walks right outside the cottage. We loved the peace and quiet and the lovely sandy beaches.
Lovely location and wonderfully comfortable cottage.
Lovely cottage very well appointed and very clean and cared for. Stunning location if you want peace and solitude. Just a superb amount of room around the cottage carefully looked after with picnic table and benches and a bench to sit in the evening sun to enjoy the views to the sea. On the edge of the Preseli Hills lovely walks and if you are energetic a walk straight out the front door up through the woods to the heathland. The owners Nigel and Tracey are extremely nice and helpful people. If that is the location you like you would not find a better one in the area. A winner for us.
Absolutely beautiful cottage, immaculately clean, really well equipped and perfectly presented. Tucked away down a private track, you have wonderful views of the sea. We will certainly book again, and I cannot recommend more highly.
Lovely location and cottage. Perfectly equipped with everything you need. Welcoming but not intrusive owners available to help with any problems. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful cottage, containing everything needed. Quiet and relaxing surroundings. Great coastal walks close by
Welcoming, peaceful,lovely welcome hamper. Thank you.
The cottage, location and welcome were first class. We had a fantastic time and would 100% return. The walk directly by the cottage and the beaches nearby are beautiful.
A lovely place for a perfect getaway. It was spotlessly clean, cosy, well equipped and in an ideal location for exploring the beautiful surroundings. The dogs had great fun on the gorgeous sandy beaches and we found different walks suitable for people of all abilities. The owners were very friendly, accomodating and immediately made us feel at home. The hamper on arrival was great quality with a large variety of items from nice necessities to luxuries.
Beautiful cottage in a secluded location which has everything you need for a relaxed holiday.
Excellent cottage, lovely location Having use of the paddock area for the dog was much appreciated as was the new bench and picnic table
Immaculate cosy cottage in a beautiful location. Great walks from the door up into the hills for stunning scenery or down to the coast. Kayak and paddle boards for hire locally. Newport lovely to wander around, great variety of shops and restaurants, the beach is great for giving the dogs a good run ! Dinas Cross has very well stocked shop and garage for all your everyday needs. Owners very welcoming - incredible welcome hamper. Incredibly lucky with the weather for the two weeks - sunsets superb from the top garden with a G&T !
Property excellent, very well equipped, quiet, lovely views but accessible.
Absolutely superb. One of the best appointed cottages we have been in. Nigel and Tracey the owners do a fabulous job. Hopefully we will be back.
This is a beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. We loved the fact that we could walk the dogs straight from the door through the owner's wood onto the moors. Beaches within walking distance and helpful, but unobtrusive owners. What's not to like!
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. Wonderful location, clean and well-equipped, and helpful friendly host.

You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
