Sun, sea, glorious beaches, fantastic golf courses, hill walking and a superb cottage overlooking the coast - what more could anyone want for a holiday?
Love it, as always. Spotlessly clean, very thoughtful caretaker. Well presented, well equipped, wonderful location .
Best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in! Of course, the sea views are stunning but EVERYTHING was perfect, too. Immaculately clean, comfortable and spacious cottage, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathroom and so many walks from the cottage! The welcome was warm and friendly. We will be back.
Great location with expansive views. House was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Very quiet and private. We would happily return.
Fabulous location with breathtaking views. Cottage large, spacious and very comfortable. Plan to go back.
Lovely cottage and wonderful location.
What a wonderful cottage and location. It was just what we needed. The views are sepctacular from the moment we arrived. Rex was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed. Bathroom needs a bit of modernising but other than that, its perfect, and great base to explore this coastline.
prachtige locatie, compleet ingericht, comfortabel, rustig. Uitzicht is onbetaalbaar. Heerlijke dagen gehad.
We had the most fabulous week at Rhiwelli. Incredible views, super comfy and clean, glorious beaches on doorstep and beautiful countryside to explore. We loved it and will be back, thank you!
Excellent location. Comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Amazing, wonderful views and sunsets.
Excellent cottage location if you like being remote with views to die for. The track up to the cottage is very steep and uneven and I wouldn't like to negotiate it in a low car. The is a popular viewpoint a short walk away up a steep hill, though we did find that this resulted in people wandering through the grounds to try and reach it. Maybe a "Private" sign would be helpful. There is a well stocked Mace and Londis about a mile away for essentials and shops in Fishguard for other supplies which is about 10 minutes drive. The cottage itself, although having everything you need is a little tired and dated, especially the bathroom and the mattresses which are quite hard and uncomfortable. Some modernisation would be beneficial if the premium prices are continued to be charged. Luckily we had beautiful weather so spent most of our time outside enjoying the views. However, the pictures on the website are a little misleading as there is an electricity pylon that is in view and not in the photos and trees have been planted that are starting to obscure part of view which will get worse as they grow. Having said that, the view is still amazing and it's nice to be able to wake up to the sight of the sea from your bed. The welcome hamper, although appreciated, did not contain all the stated items i.e. cheese, eggs and marmalade.
Wonderful. Wonderful cottage, wonderful week . Very, very relaxing. We were fortunate with the weather and couldn’t have had a better time.
A wonderful week in a lovely cottage - very confortable and ideally situated.
We recently stayed at Rhiwelli. The cottage is lovely and so well equipped plus the view never disappointed even on an overcast day. Rex, the owner, was very nice and immediately sorted a minor issue when called. There was a lot to do in the area and within in easy travel of the cottage although some of our best memories were just sitting with a glass of wine watching the sun go down. We are so pleased that we chose this property for our break and wouldn't hesitate to return if we chose to visit the North Pembrokeshire again.
Rhiwelli is situated on a hill with the most beautiful views out to sea. The house itself has some lovely spaces to relax in: a small conservatory to catch the sun (even in February!), a mezzanine floor for reading or working at the desk (if you have to) and a sitting area with a wood burner and sofas. It's warm and comfortable with good-sized bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. There is also a utility room separate to the main building. It's an ideal location for walking: Newport is possible along the coast path. At the top of the garden is a viewpoint and tracks leading across moorland with views across to Fishguard harbour, Dinas Head and Newport. Not much nightlife but the house is so nice you don't really want to go out!
Excellent property, wonderful location. The property was immaculate.
Wonderful house great location with stunning views & beautiful beaches locally.
The cottage was well equipped, a good size for the three of us and in a stunning location.
Rhiwelli is a lovely cottage and we really enjoyed our week's stay. The cottage is charming, beautifully decorated and furnished, well equipped(flat screen TV with internet) and has the most amazing panoramic views of the Pembrokeshire coast. Every night we sat outside watching the incredible sunsets, we had glorious weather. A tawny owl came and joined us, the garden was full of wild flowers and sheltered. We also enjoyed exploring Pembrokeshire, especially the boat trips to Skomer(to see the puffins) and Ramsay Islands. We walked the coast path round Dinas Head and to Newport the nearest town which had lots of nice shops and restaurants. St Davids was another highlight and we also liked the wildlife centre at Cardigan. There was so much to see and do, good places to eat, shopping was easy too, the local Mace store was very handy. Rex made us very welcome and was on hand if we had needed anything but everything worked well.
Property was clean and comfortable with good facilities such as WiFi, Netflix and iPlayer.
