A few more bits in the kitchen tongs, serving spoons, hand towels, not vastly important, also some side tables for coffee cups when relaxing in both rooms, again nothing major. We were plagued by house flies must be a seasonal thing. We left a note about a problem with the downstairs shower. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the tea, coffee milk and Welsh cakes were nice, and yes we would stay again. The pub just over the stone bridge, think it was called the Carew Arms was superb, great food and lots of it, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A great area altogether to visit.

We had to contact the owner on our first day as the heating was off and there were no instructions on how to work it, this really does need to be addressed going forward. We had to search for tea towels rather than have them readily available, they were a little flimsy too. There were a number of hanging cobwebs, especially around the velux windows. We live in the country too so know how quickly they can appear but these were large and had been there a while. The lounge sofas could do with a few more cushions and I would question how comfortable this would be if six people were staying, there were two two-seater sofas and a chair so a bit tight! Also non slip bath mats should be supplied.

We were so impressed by it. Itâs such a beautiful home and itâs immaculate. The kitchen had everything you need and very spacious. The Lounge was very cosy and comfortable. Beds were very comfy with amble pillows. The garden was enclosed so we were able to let the dogs out without worrying about them getting out. The location was perfect for us, we went to Heatherton, Oakwood Park and Tenby and all within 10-15 minute drive. Would highly recommend.
