We found the property to be warm and welcoming with thoughtful touches upon our arrival of fresh milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge together with Welsh cakes. We all enjoyed our week and would stay again at the drop of a hat!

Clean, warm and comfortable with fabulous views both towards the beach & up the valley. 5 minute walk to the beach, down a footpath. It was a great base to visit Pembrokeshire, but we also enjoyed several walks from the cottage, both along the coastal path & along the beach, stopping for a cuppa & cake at the cafe twice also. Cafe was clean, friendly service & Vegan options. While this is best suited to a car to get about, as a back up there was a regular bus service nearby. I twice caught the bus when Hubby didnât want to drive, visiting St Davidâs and a walk at Roch. Very friendly service, approximately 1 an hour in middle of the day, so pretty good service for a rural area. Certainly good enough for days out on holiday. Would highly recommend this cottage. Itâs well looked after, and owner was friendly & helpful. We hope we can return one day.

The location is very central and easy to get to a new place/beach each day. The beach at Newgale is one of the best especially for our cocker spaniel who has so much energy and loves that he can spend a couple of hours just doing his thing. The property is very good and clean and worked a treat for us. Thank you.
