All the rooms are large, spacious, clean and well appointed. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything a cook or chef may require, and with lots of cupboard space. Very peaceful location, but with easy access to The Coastal Path, Fishguard, Carmarthen, and a bit further the Pembrokeshire National Park. Mr and Mrs Evans and their son are very welcoming and helpful. It was lovely to be given a visit to their prize pigs and cattle. Great place for a family holiday. Highly recommended.

From arrival we were welcomed by the lovely family who own the farm and made sure anything we needed wasnât too much trouble as well as showing us around their farm to meet the pigs. The cottage itself was fantastic, probably the best weâve stayed in. Lovely and warm, well equipped kitchen, brilliant sized rooms, kids loved the jacuzzi bath and everything was such a high standard it felt very luxurious. We couldnât fault it and will definitely be back.
