Wood cottage is in a great location with excellent walks available from the door. The local pub Stackpole Inn does excellent meals and the staff are very friendly. The equipment, washing machines etc are of very good quality. Really enjoyed our holiday and Wood Cottage is a wonderful base to tour and enjoy Pembrokeshire.

A quaint cottage in a tucked away position, as near to Barafundle beach as we could get.Very comfortable beds and constant hot water for baths/showers.Athena, the super caretaker, was always on hand, if required, by text or phone call.The highlight for me was showing my three year old Granddaughter the bats that came out of the roof at dusk. I sat on the backdoor step and she stood behind me, not quite sure what she was going to see! The weather for 13.5 days was exceptional for August so we really spent little time at the cottage and made full use of visiting the many wonderful beaches within 20 miles.
