Comfortable furniture, lots of local pieces, throws and cushions from a local mill plus ewe-moos. Fantastic log burner. Very comfortable beds and bedding, plus a view of the coast from master bedroom which was a great surprise. Though central location it's very quiet. The Pottery has been designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.

Every last detail is of a high standard. There are plenty of crockery, mugs, cutlery etc. and all equipment, furniture is of a high quality which makes for a very comfortable stay. Everything has been thought of - games for children, even a 2nd fridge tucked away in a cupboard. Location is superb, with all amenities in Trefdraeth/Newport within walking distance. We enjoyed the walk down to Parrog & along the river, across the golf course to Newport Sands. I remember the pottery when it was open & we would park in its car park to stay in Mrs Mathiasâ B&B when I was a child. Lots to see & do in & around Newport, Fishguard & Cardigan. Diolch o galon. Am sure weâll return.
