Absolutely fantastic stay in the Old Dinas Arms. Probably the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. It was a shame that The Ship Inn was closed for the whole of our stay but the walk up the hill to the other pubs in Fishguard probably did us good.

Cottage is lovely and cosy and has everything you would need. The kitchen is well stocked which I find great as love cooking so can cook pretty much as of if I was at home. The huge bath and seperate shower are great and the views and walks nearly are fantastic. Fishguard has all the shops you need during a stay and the bigger places like Haverfordwest have got more shopping opportunities.
