Cwm Gwaun is a rural idyll of peace and natural beauty. The Vestry is so comfortable and well equipped. The perfect base to explore the wonder of Pembroke from. Coast, landscape, hidden coves and Welsh gems to explore and visit - St David's, Fishguard and Newport - all a short distance away. Pembrokeshire is our favourite place on the planet and The Vestry has it all. Thank you so much. We can't wait to be back soon and leave our footprints in the sand.

Peaceful and quiet. Sycamore Vestry is comfortable, charming and well equipped, although would benefit from the addition of a hair dryer and a better mirror in the shower roomâ¦currently not conducive to contact lens wearers! Delightful to be able to open the French windows and enjoy the view sitting outside with a glass of something. Thank you.

Some great beaches. Newport and St Davidâs. Could have done with an iron and a hair dryer but these are minor. Also heating system probably needs servicing. Some interesting gardens to visit nearby.
