The central focal point is, of course, the old quay where boats can still moor, for the time the tide allows, and you may wish to pop into the Cresselly Arms for light refreshments. Just a short drive from the town of Tenby and offers a selection of shops and pubs, along with its own train station. Kilgetty is central to a number of attractions, with the coastal resorts of Saundersfoot and Tenby nearby, offering fabulous beaches, watersports and boat trips to Caldey Island, the home of a small gathering of monks and their monastery. Also nearby is the award winning Folly Farm, which makes for a great family day out and enables you to see a working farm at its best.

It was close to main attractions and beaches yet far enough away for a peaceful break should you want to stay in. CONS: None. OUTSIDE the accomodation: PROS: The garden is a good size and loved the hot tub. It has its own gated parking area which was also a great addition. CONS: Not due to owners fault, there's a tree that over hung the car when parked on the drive which dropped a lot of sap which attracted wasps. We couldn't see a nest anywhere but suspect there may of been one somewhere with the amount wasps on the car each day. INSIDE the accommodation: PROS: The building is an ample size for the number of guests it can hold. Free WiFi provided. Kitchen - It had plenty of appliances, cooking equipment, cutlery and cleaning equipment to use during our stay. If you can think of it they pretty much have it. Loved the welcome pack of eggs and welsh cakes. Living room - Tv was a good size and had free view and Netflix app. If you have children there were a couple boardgames and there were a few books and magazines to read for adults. The fire place heater was great for the colder mornings. Bedrooms - The beds were comfortable and theres plenty of room in the bedrooms for your clothes etc. Each room had a bath towel and small towel for each guest. Bathrooms - Hand soap, hand towels and a toilet roll were provided in each bathroom. CONS: There was a lot of damp in the building. As soon as you open the front door you can smell it. There was damp/mold around almost every window in the building. Floor moves upstairs... not sure if some boards need replacing. WiFi was very slow, wasn't the best if watching Netflix and needed to do something on your phone at the same time. Kitchen - Bugs in the wicker table mats. Some of the cooking pots/pans could do with replacing. Door missing off the front of the dishwasher. Tumbledryer very loud, possibly a bearing on its way out?? Living room - Very moldy and damp. Black mold on the one wall and wall paper peeling off. Living room rug smelt, could do with replacing or washing. We didn't like to let our little one play on the floor due to the smell and the fact the room was so damp. Pictures hanging on the walls were moldy. Sofas did the job but were very uncomfortable. Bedrooms - We removed the pillow case on one of the pillows in the main room and found the pillow was moldy. Not sure about the other pillows and rooms. Mold/damp around windows. Dust on headboard. Had to move one of the beds in the smaller rooms to fit our travel cot in and the floor under the bed was covered in debris, could of done with a quick hoover. Bathrooms - downstairs bathroom smelt we only used once or twice due to the smell. Upstairs one was good but the bath doesn't drain well, it fills whilst having a shower. Suspect the plugs blocked. This accommodation has great potential but in our opinion does need some work.

The cottage was very spacious and well equipped. The beaches of Saundersfoot and Tenby are fantastic. I would definitely recommend this holiday accommodation and hope to visit again myself.

With easy access to many places. The people were very friendly and the fresh eggs were great. Bridget recommended a fabulous pub for Sunday lunch food was great and service was excellent. Then she told us about the lily ponds near by, well we would call them large lakes. Bet they make a fantastic show when in bloom. Shame there was no comments book, to leave a small review, or to be able to read others findings. Great holiday, especially enjoyed the hot tub after long days out. Thank you so much for sharing your part of the country.
