Barbara
A big spacious flat above the shops with views over the sea. Well equipped and very comfortable. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Only downside is that you do get some kitchen smells and a nightbtime equipment noise at the back of the property which is over the cafe. We soon got used to this and it didn't spoil our holiday in any way. We would certainly return. There is so much to do within this area of Pembrokeshire. Lots of Castles, fantastic beaches and a trip to Caldey Island is a must.

The accommodation was well equipped and laid out, having everything we needed and was very comfortable. Parking was not a problem with the permit provided and we were able to walk to pubs and shops easily. The only minor issue we had was intermittent noise from a fridge (?) in the cafe downstairs overnight, which woke our baby in the back bedroom on several occasions, but would not want that to negatively reflect on an excellent stay and would definitely return to the property.

Owners very helpful. Ideal for exploring the area with restaurants, pubs and a shop. The cafe underneath the flat is ideal for breakfast, fish & chips, cakes and ice-creams. Would highly recommend.
