Glad to see the high standards are still maintained. Very clean, warm & comfortable. Good sized drive for parking. Plenty of hanging & drawer space. Kitchen stocked with all the necessary items. In walking distance of a Tesco Extra & other supermarkets. Lots of places to visit nearby. An ideal place to stay if you want to explore that part of Pembrokeshire.
