We were adequately comfortable but our disappointment with the cleanliness and overall standard of the cottage has been privately feedback to the owner.The garden is secure for dogs.The cottage felt unloved but the location was good for walking the Pembrokeshire path to Newgale to the south and St Davids to the north and then an easy bus ride back to the end of the road.Fairly easy walk down into the village and plenty of dog friendly venues to eat and shop.

The location of the cottage is great and we do love Solva, it’s just a short walk to the harbour. However we were disappointed when we first arrived, as soon as walked in we could smell wet dog and there were plug in air fresheners in a few rooms that left an overpowering fragrance. So strong they gave me headaches and I had to turn them off. As it was hot we had all the windows open throughout our time there to air the cottage. A few other things were that although it was clean, there was just a general grubbiness to things like skirting boards and lampshades. It could definitely do with a deep clean. There was also black mould around the bath and it was not up to the standard in the photos. We messaged the caretaker as when we arrived the outside bins were full so there was no where to put our rubbish and the toilet flush was temperamental. They replied to say they’d get a plumber to look at the flush on the day we left and to leave the rubbish outside piled up. They’d let the housekeeper know. We ended up putting the wheelie bin out when the neighbours did and the bin got emptied then.
