Enjoy some alone time as your little ones play in the external games room hosting a pool table for inviting some healthy competition and when the night draws to a close retreat to a spacious ground-floor bathroom to indulge a soak with your favourite book in hand. Three thoughtfully-decorated bedrooms await, choose from two doubles and a single to catch your rest before exploring more of your surroundings.

The tiny village of Mathry is situated on a hilltop on Wales' south-west coast, between the well-known towns of Fishguard and St. Davids. This settlement was previously a defensive fort in the Iron Age, strategically placed for early warnings of an enemy approach. Today, it is a tranquil village with stunning views of the St. Davids Peninsula from several locations throughout the area. The gorgeous coastline is to the west, while the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with numerous opportunities for walking, cycling, and other activities, is to the south. A charming rural community like Mathry makes a great starting point for exploring southwest Wales.

Wifi was great, for Wales. Had a few glitches but was all that we needed for 5 people trying to be online at times. The garden was smaller than expected but the chairs outside were a suntrap, really relaxing. It was all very comfortable and a super holiday for us. I would definitely trust in Sykes again.

Well equipped, spacious and beautiful welcome package which considering how far it is to any shops, it was really appreciated. The only downside was the garden which was tired and unkempt, very slippy and not good for the dogs

However, we were disappointed that as soon as we entered the property there was an unpleasant smell. We also noticed that the cottage hadn't been clean thoroughly (cobwebs and dust in corners) and all the windows were dirty inside and out. We feel that the cottage would benefit from a thorough deep clean to bring it up to standard.
