  The holiday cottage itself was lovely, big, well equipped and with a great enclosed garden.

  However, it wasn’t particularly clean and two of the loo seats were loose, there was mould in the shower grouting and the sheets were stained, as were the towels. The initial view of the outside was alarming as the property sits behind a derelict pub and the front looks generally uncared for. Our main issue was the lack of welcome and hospitality by the owner, Debbie. We got off on the wrong foot I think because when we arrived we nipped out to get shopping and stock up for the week leaving our dogs behind - they are extremely well behaved and we bring our own camera to monitor them. I admit that I completely neglected to check that Debbie would be okay with this because I holiday several times a year in dog-friendly properties and have never had an issue before. We were gone for 2 hrs and 30 mins - the camera footage can verify and the dogs barked once when people were present on the driveway. We came back to be handed a screen shot of the property rules stating that dogs should not be left in the property by Debbie’s sister but no other conversation. I immediate text Debbie apologising for not checking and assuring her that I would respect her rules going forward - she responded 24 hrs later saying that it was distressing to hear the dogs bark ‘all day’ - absolutely NOT our dogs. Debbie also told us that she had ‘family’ staying in her ‘laundry room’ - a one bedroom dwelling just 20 feet from the door of the bungalow. Her ‘family’ consisted of several people, who slept in the laundry room and also in a van on the driveway. They would bang the doors to the van as they went back and forth until quite late into the night (past 11pm) which woke our small children up on several occasions. We found men’s underwear in one of the bedrooms and pyjamas and a wallet in another bedroom with a driving licence in that seemed to match the identity of one of Debbie’s ‘family’ members, (Photos available) and post and deliveries were made to the bungalow whilst we were there. When I told Debbie about the left belongings via text, I received no response at all. There was no cleaning equipment at the property either - we like to at least hoover at some point during the week - although Debbie did lend us her hoover on request. All in all, we felt generally unwelcome and it was a relief to leave at the end of the week

  We have enjoyed a marvellous holiday with both our boys, their wives, our grandchildren and a dog in Stoney Cottage.

  The accommodation totally met our needs and we were very comfortable in this clean, well kept environment. The beds were very comfortable with lovely fresh linen. The bathrooms, especially the shower room, were large and the shower was powerful. The three comfortable sofas in the large lounge/diner meant that we could all easily relax together in front of a very nice fire when required. The heating was good throughout. The dog and our grandchildren were able to play safely on the patio. The kitchen was more than well supplied with all the utensils, cutlery, pots and pans dishes/mugs that we needed to self cater for our large party. It was great that so many household items were supplied at the sinks. We appreciated the welcome pack, especially the welsh cakes! Tim was always on hand if we had any questions or needs. His advice about where to visit in the local area was very helpful, along with the very well prepared handbook. The cottage is very well placed for visits to so many lovely beaches and towns within a fifteen to twenty minute drive. There was a park for the children that was a short walk away and plenty of walks for the dog. There was plenty of parking behind the gates for our three cars and those of the visitors to the other cottages. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Stoney Cottage and would definitely book again in the future. Thank you!

  An attractive cottage (no doubt a barn conversion).

  Has lots of potential but not a four star as advertised. Have stayed in many many cottages and never before have we had to strip the beds ourselves on vacating. Requires new double glazing and definitely toilet roll holders in bathrooms. Beds were comfortable. Rotary washing line needs attention instead of rocks to keep it in place and garden etc needs a general tidy up. Dark, cold and a bit disappointing on arrival but we got used to the cottage and it grew on us. Couldn't use the WiFi (password?!). Up to date information re supermarkets would have been helpful as found the Kilgetty coop in a right mess so a wasted visit. Contented Sole had the worst chips we had ever had. Oh and a shower cubicle upgrade is required upstairs if the property is to remain a four star. A few other pointers if it would help but not mentioned here. Just a general upgrade needed.

  Nice property in a great location for exploring the beautiful area of a Pembrokeshire with all of the main visiting areas within a lovely 30 min drive.

  A small group of cottages around a courtyard/parking area but each are private and quiet. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and clean with everything you need provided. Ideal for 2 couples or a family as 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The superking ensuite bedroom is fabulous and also has an extra single bed. Nice, large ,safe, gravelled enclosed garden area for the pooch. The local pub The Boars Head, literally a 1min walk down the road is an absolute must, the food and service is outstanding and it's dog friendly but advised to book as it gets very busy with locals and visitors. Tim the owner of the cottages is friendly and helpful and lives just behind the cottages so is always on hand if you need anything. Highly recommend a stay here and would not hesitate to return.

  We had an amazing week here, exploring the area with its beautiful beaches/coastline, lovely villages (Narberth, Saundersfoot and Tenby are a must), castles and forests which were just a 5 minute drive from the property and great for the dog.

  There is so much to do for children in this part of Wales too - we took the kids to Folly Farm and the Dinosaur Park, but we could have filled many more days. The owner of the cottage was lovely, the cottage is extremely spacious and perfect for a large family and the garden was a generous size which came in handy for the dog when we were sitting out and relaxing in the evening. I would recommend booking if you want to eat out anywhere though as we struggled to get in places a few times; The Carew Inn next to the castle is well worth it. All in all, this was a really memorable week and we will probably be back at some point in the future.
