  The cottage is great - completed to a very high standard and very clean. We visited the local pub at the end of the road which was lovely and the staff extremely friendly. The milk shed opposite was nice offering fresh milk, eggs, honey etc. The park opposite was great for our dog, she loved going over there for a run! We also had a lovely walk up to Paxtons Tower, lovely views over the area. However, we were very concerned that the back boundary fence was quite low and contained 2 rows of barbed wire! considering this is supposed to be a dog and child friendly property we felt this was a huge safety issue. If not remedied there will be a nasty accident for either a dog or a child. There are sheep in the field at the back of the property and this makes that boundary very interesting to a dog! There was also a significant gap at the end of the fence separating it from next door (Cliftonville House) - we blocked this off with a wheelie bin and next door wasn't occupied so not a huge problem but it will pose a problem when the 2 properties are rented out at the same time. When we arrived it was a hot and sunny weekend - there was no shade in the garden - we would recommend a patio umbrella or canopy. We also would have appreciated knowing in advance that logging was taking place on the nearly hillside - at 7.30am each morning we were woken up by chainsaws and heavy machinery - we appreciate this is beyond the property owners control but i think a notice on the booking site making people aware of this would have been appropriate and courteous. I assume at some stage this will cease but for now it is a nuisance! No welcome pack which was a shame :( - it would have been a nice touch. If these issues are addressed we think it would a lovely holiday rental.

  The hosts were very accommodating and tried to ensure that our stay was enjoyable, however we found the accommodation somewhat dated and much too small for our needs ( this probably our own fault for not enquiring further).

  The photographs in the listing presumably were taken with a wide angle lens and make the rooms appear much larger than they actually are, the kitchen/living room is very cramped and the bathroom felt dated. The lane leading to the listing is full of very large potholes and we are just glad of the choice of vehicles for this trip, I would not have liked taking my saloon through that obstacle course.The local pub, the Fox and Hounds was a mixed bag, good meal the first visit, one hour wait for food and an inedible steak the second visit, however locals and staff were extremely friendly. This cottage will be ideal for some, great central location for visits to beaches, Carmarthen and even Brecon Beacons , but we needed something a little larger, maybe a little newer (again our fault) and warning of worn out lane would be helpful.

  We stayed in Sandpiper cottage from Saturday 15th.

  May We were met by Rob as we pulled into the carpark. He immediately made us feel welcome. We were very impressed by the strict Covid regulations even a hand sanitizer dispenser on the door of the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views from the back of the cottage were stunning for city dwellers like us. We were looking forward to seeing the night sky, as there is no light pollution but the clouds prevented a clear view. Wi-Fi great managed to attend a few Zoom meetings. What made the break so good is I was able to swim every day in a heated pool we were able to book a slot each day. The pool is sanitized between slots. We felt very safe. I would highly recommend the cottages for families and couples plus they are pet friendly. We look forward to returning. Anne and Pat.

  I loved my stay at Cwtch Cowin, Bruce and Sylvia are really friendly and welcoming but not intrusive.

  I had my two dogs with me & the enclosed garden was a real bonus. This was probably the best dog friendly place I've stayed in. The owners even provided dog bowls and a large plastic tray to put food & water bowls on. The property is approached by way of a pretty rough farm track that can flood at the junction to the main road in heavy rain but not to any worrying depth. It's really well furnished and very comfortable. It has a wet room type bathroom. The bedroom is a decent size with lots of storage space, the bed itself was very comfy. The nearby village has a small shop but larger stores are in St Clears a bit further out. It was a good base for exploring the south coast, Pendine, Pembery park and the Gower. It got a big thumbs up from me & my dogs.

  The property is an annexe to the owners home.

  It is small but two of us ( my husband not very mobile) plus our Irish Terrier had plenty of room. A contained garden for your dog or you can arrange to let your dog in the large garden with any boarded dogs at the time. The owners are friendly, helpful and on hand to give any advice on places to go, we ordered a hired mobility scooter to be delivered to the property which was there before we arrived. The village shop is well stocked, fresh bread, eggs etc and the pub is friendly and you can eat in the bar with your dog, food is very good. Lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away, all had big areas which allowed dogs on even though we were there after the 1st May. We would definitely stay here again. Well worth the 310 mile drive from Yorkshire
