The location in Cresswell Quay was stunning - I loved watching the birds, and the pub across the quay was great for a pint in the sunshine and/or a tasty BBQ. The cottage was also perfectly located for countryside walks and was really peaceful at night. It was just a short drive to the beach and there is plenty to do in the area. The cottage itself was gorgeous, really clean and comfortable, with a lovely old school countryside cottage feel. The hosts were super helpful, and I wouldnât hesitate to recommend staying here. It is a perfect place to unwind and relax.

The setting and position are magnificent. Overlooking Cresswell Quay, it's probably the most picturesque outlook we've ever had - and we've had some crackers all over the country over the years! The living room was cosy and homely, the TV a bit fiddly but OK, the kitchen spot on, boasting everything that we needed. Although a bigger toaster would have made it even better. Our bedroom was spacious, the bed pretty comfortable, lots of storage and it was a breath of fresh air to gaze out over the water, across to the pub - and the monkey puzzle tree! The en suite was fine with the bath not the biggest but the shower easy to use with plenty of hot water after we'd kickstarted the day running up and down the glorious hills. The quayside was a magical place, constantly shapeshifting as the water ebbed and flowed. So peaceful, tranquil and reinvigorating. The house martins swooping in and out of their nests by our bedroom windows to feed their young were a joy to behold while cottage owner Phillip was ever friendly, affable, chatty and helpful. The cottage is also a fantastic base for touring one of the most stunning if under-rated chunks of the entire UK. Saundersfoot, Tenby, Narberth, Cardigan, St David's and Fishguard are all within easy reach - a fab mix of brilliant beaches, seaside resorts, history, market towns and bohemian culture. We were lucky, blessed by bright sunshine and blue skies every day of our idyllic stay. But even if the weather hadn't been so gorgeous we'd still be booking a date in the calendar to go back to this truly unique cottage.
