About this property
Llety is a wonderful terraced cottage, just on the outskirts of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire, with plenty of character. As you enter the property, you come to a tiled hallway with painted Welsh stone walls. Through to the right, there is a lounge with seating for six and a gas fire, ideal for cosy nights in with the family. Back to the walkway, take a small step down into the beautiful farm-style kitchen, featuring terracotta tiles, a large gas range oven and wooden topped cream units. The dining area is just the other side of the kitchen and there is enough room around the table for six people. From the dining room, open the patio doors and head out onto your own enclosed garden with views to the rear of the Preseli Hills. As we walk back through the kitchen, there is a small utility space with a washing machine and dryer, which leads through to the bright and spacious family bathroom, with a large modern overhead rain shower and beautiful floor tiles. Throughout the property, there are characteristic wooden features, which really give it a traditional cottage feel, although a lot of the amenities are modern and stylish. As you head up the stairs, there are more traditional features including the character wooden staircase. On the first floor, you first come to a twin bedroom which features a large wooden beam and looks out to distant views of the Preseli Mountains. The second double bedroom is stylishly decorated with crisp white furniture, that contrasts beautifully against the dark wooden beams and feature fireplace. The third room features a bunk bed and is simply decorated with white painted stone walls. Upstairs also has a small toilet and basin. Llety is in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes from the local shops, pubs, cafes and bars of Fishguard. Situated in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park near to the Preseli Hills, explore this historic site and discover more about the notorious bluestones.
Heading a little further afield, you also have access to no less than five theme parks and popular destinations including Temby, St David’s, Solva as well as Cardigan, Newport and Wales nature reserves. Llety is a fantastic family property with so much character tucked in to every nook and cranny. The perfect base for exploring, you are sure to visit Llety again and again.
Fishguard is a coastal town resting on the Pembrokeshire Coast, which has been voted the second best coastal destination in the world.

The beds are comfortable and the sheets and towels clean. There is an over bath shower and plenty of hot water. There is no designated parking for the property, but we never had any problems parking somewhere on the street outside the house during the time we were there. The kitchen is lacking some basic equipment if you are self catering, e.g. , baking dishes/trays, sieve, oven gloves, sharp knives and there were not enough glasses for 6. The fridge is very small and there is no freezer, definitely not big enough to store food for 6 (the number of guests the house accommodates). The oven and trays in it were very greasy. There was quite a lot of dust and hair under the bed I slept in. The general view of the other people I went with was that the bathroom could do with a bit of a refurbish around the bath.

Tv in bedroom only would tune to 1 channel,tried it downstairs in dining room still only showed bbc1.needs addressing.property could offer a stair gate . We did enjoy our stay but the issues above need addressing.i did ring sykes whilst i was there as was unclear if we could park in the space right outside the front door (no you cannot) and i mentioned the mirror.
