  We have just returned from a week at rafters cottage.

  I must admit I'm glad to be back in my own house. Myself, my fiance and our 4 year old stayed in the end bedroom. The first night was horrendous... we spent the first part removing all the giant spiders from the house. By the time we went to bed we'd realised the room had a terrible mold issue: black mould growing up the walls, beside the bed and the mattresses (which belonged in the 90's) were also covered in mold. We got no sleep and my chest got bad. I felt so angry that our 4 year old had to sleep on a moldy mattress in a moldy room. The owners did change the mattresses and wiped down the mold, and they refunded us £100. Unfortunately all this happened after a not-too-pleasant discussion with one of the owners who told us our standards were too high and we should just drive home immediately if we didn't like the cottage! Nice. After the mold issue we had an ok stay. The mold smell was in the cottage all week and there was more mold growing in the sitting room. The kids favourite game was to catch the numerous woodlice that shared the cottage with us. I get that it's an old property but I shan't be apologising for having 'standards' when we paid over a grand to stay there. The outside facilities were great, great location with the nature reserve. Obviously we wouldn't return.

  Overall Maggie’s Cottage was good value for money. Unfortunately the traffic noise was louder than we would have liked, no problem during the days as we were out, but meant we couldn’t sleep with our windows open at night due this. A few things would have made our stay better. Poor wifi and the TV not connected to it (I had to set this up myself which took a few hours on the first 2 evenings to get it working). The freezer was too small. I think it was a shared freezer between the 3 properties, but even if it wasn’t it was too small, especially for self-catering purposes. Perhaps a larger freezer could be instated in the coat cupboard downstairs? Also as a self-catering property there was no real cupboard space for our groceries in the kitchen so they had to be left out on the counter space and breakfast bar. According to the inventory a coffee machine or cafetière should have been supplied, but nothing was found so we had to buy one. As I said overall it was good and the location was great for us with so many sites, beaches and things to do nearby.

  We took a last minute booking.

  .. and couldn't have done better than this lovely cottage.” We were thrilled when we arrived, having thought it was probably mainly a 'non-improved' cottage, we discovered something that was very special indeed. Llety has been done up to a very high standard. The carpentry is very beautiful and the craftsmanship a delight.... look out for the 'lock' to the bathroom door! The downstairs bathroom is spacious and new... and having an upstairs loo a very important item on our 'wish-list'... yours too??? Don't miss the view from the back bedroom window of the hills. We really enjoyed eating with the open view of the garden.. even if it wasn't warm enough early March to use the facilities there. Close to shops and plenty of pubs, we ate at The Royal Oak, also 2 takeaways... the Chinese one being just down the road a little from the cottage. I'd worried about parking but we always found a place on the hill there.

  The quality of their house was excellent, and we had a wonderful week away. The owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful and everything was very clean and to a very good standard. there were 5 of us, with 3 adult children, and there was plenty of room for us all. Although the properties are on a main road, in Maggies Cottage we didn't hear it, only when sitting outdid on the benches. There is a small freezer to share, but we didn't use it, but something to consider if you do freeze lots! Te TV was a small 19 inch one, which wasn't great for our kids (especially watching England play in the Euro's and for an Xbox that we brought). The wifi is from a booster, not a direct router in the property, so the signal is week and cannot support 5 people's devices. other than a technology issue (if you need these for a holiday!), this is a wonderful place to stay, and easy to get to everywhere around Tenby.

  Reviews mentioning the carpentry had me curious and we were not disappointed!

  The fascinating door features are an absolute delight, making this the most interesting and inspiring cottage we've stayed in. As well as being beautiful and stylish, Llety is well-equipped and cozy with very comfortable beds. The back garden got sun all day and on a clear night the stars were amazing. The back door needs some attention (I had great trouble unlocking it; I think it has dropped). Curtain linings would be appreciated, as would a blind for the bedroom Velux - sunlight had us all awake very early! The info folder needs an update: Ffwrn has closed down (a newer bakery, Nourish, was sold out of bread by 10:45am Saturday); and instructions are needed to help guests with recycling. The location is brilliant, being handy for shops and eateries while very tranquil, with lovely views and walks nearby. We really enjoyed this peaceful mini-break and may return to Llety (with sleep masks).
