So much to love about Lordship Farmhouse, however, realistically it has its downsides too. The location is good, the house could be wonderful with plenty of space, comfortable furniture and beds, a lovely garden and a delightful host. Also a real plus was the Pottery, where we were able to learn how to throw pots and then decorate them and have them fired in time to come home with our efforts.It seems a shame to have to mention the negatives, however, people should be aware that the TV and internet don't work, there is absolutely nothing left to get you going on arrival. You can't even make a cuppa unless you've brought all the makings with you. No basics are available, so you really do need to be prepared for this as the arrival time of 4pm means that, if you are like us and have had a four hour journey, you don't really want to have to immediately go out to a supermarket. Thankfully, there is an excellent pub down the road. The Wolf made us very welcome and is dog friendly and the food was good too.You should also be aware that the house does need cleaning. This isn't just shabby chic, it's actually dirty. The tap in the bathroom is faulty, there is peeling paintwork everywhere, the games are mostly incomplete apart from one pack of playing cards. With no working TV, you may wish to play some games, but you should bring your own with you. We accept and understand that at this time of year cluster flies can be a problem. However, given that there were thousands of them and apparently this is not unusual, the least they could do is leave some tins of fly killer (or offer to come and deal with them), so that all the rooms could be used. The kitchen work surfaces are made of old tiles, with manky, cracked grout which is impossible to get clean, all the kitchen knives are blunt, the vacuum cleaner had been left full of dirt, but that was because it was impossible to open. Thank you to Sean who stepped in with some brute force to get it sorted. All of these things are so fixable with a bit of love and attention to detail. This gorgeous house is just crying out to be loved.To finish on a high note; we absolutely loved Pembrokeshire. The coast and the beaches are awesome, the people were incredibly friendly, the food and the markets were great. Our dogs were living the dream as at this time of year the miles and miles of blue flag sandy beaches are all open to dogs and they are almost empty. This location is perfect for visiting so many places with ease. We would highly recommend going there at this time of year.

We enjoyed it. The owner was charming. The pottery was interesting. But there were 2 issues: cleanliness and broadband connectivity. It’s a big house and a handover of 6 hours is insufficient at the end of a summer. And to be straightforward, the WiFi issues in the house made the smart TV a dumb TV, with no access to terrestrial TV.
