Really enjoyed our stay in Marloes. The cottage was lovely, but is need of some TLC inside and out. Ten o'clock is an early check out and three cleaners stood around their car immediately opposite at 9.50am waiting to come in put a presured, sour end to the stay. Hence 3 stars not 4.

Had a great stay at Marloes The house was lovely and clean and had everything we needed as a family The location is nice and peacefull with a great local pub and authentic pizza oven takeaway just uo the road. There are many places to visit all with a 10 minute drive away, good beaches and scenery all around. the coastal path takes minutes to acces and has beautiful views and walks. Martins Haven is a few minutes by car and we managed to see grey seals bathing in the wild each time we visited there A lovely weekend escape for our family
