  Lovely homely feel, great location, parking real bonus.

  Clean. Quiet. So convenient for town and cathedral, (cut through next to Farmers Arms) and coastal path was so easy to access. Nice distant views. Locals/neighbours friendly. Two good showers. Upstairs bathroom lovely. Comfy sofas. Couldn’t work out TV v well, but got freeview after a while, and I could sign in to Netflix. (Didn’t spoil it for us, and in the nicest possible way I would say - a name /number on the property would be good, oven needs attention, rattles very loud, beds not too bad but mattress toppers would be a benefit for extra comfort. Also, I think the instructions are a little out of date as nothing on fridge re: rubbish collections, more coasters would be handy and kitchen scissors - (I tried my best but it appears the bin was not collected on Thurs despite me putting it next to the road on Wednesday eve) ) Just a suggestion but I think guests might pay a little extra for a local welcome pack on arrival ! (Bread , tea, coffee milk biscuits etc) Advice for guests: google earth it, I couldn’t see a number or name on the property, in saying that it was obvious if you look at the picture on Sykes and keenly look out for it , also although there were a few bits in the cupboards ie. salt/pepper/tea bags/ bin bags/ some cleaning stuff, you do really need to take all provisions if you want a cuppa on arrival eg. coffee, milk, etc. Overall, I would absolutely recommend and stay again if in the area, I thought it was reasonable price for the facilities, and time of year. Thank you.

  We had a lovely relaxing week at Greenfields.

  There is space for 2 cars (one behind the other) outside the front and the location is great - lots of shops, pubs, cafes/ restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. As we stayed here mid-March, the house would get cold quickly once the heating turned off so the bedrooms were cold at night - maybe consider some curtains for winter time? Obviously this won't be an issue during the summer. I had the twin room, comfy beds, and a double wardrobe with drawers underneath. My friend had the double room but there was no storage for her clothes. Maybe consider replacing the wicker chair for a tallboy and placing a hanging rail in the large built in cupboard? Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Greenfields, a proper home from home. Yes the kitchen is 'outdated' but it's in full working order, in good condition, very clean and well equipped (we did some cooking while there). I only gave 3 out of 4 faces due to being cold at night and the lack of storage in the double room. We loved everything else - very comfy sofas in the lounge! - and looked forward to returning there after our days out. It's clearly has been a much loved family home and we like that vibe.

  We loved the location of Greenfields.

  Turn left out of the driveway and you are just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of St Davids, with its pubs, shops, and of course the cathedral. Alternatively, turn right and a footpath at the end of the road takes you straight to the coastal path in about 10 minutes. From there you can walk to Caerfai or Porthclais and either return or continue further around the Pembrokeshire coast. The cottage itself had everything we needed, and although there was just the two of us, I think it would be perfect for a small family. Our favourite walk with lovely views was from Porthgain, 7 miles away on the north coast (free parking), to Abereiddy (either there and back along the coast, or returning via an inland route across the hilltop farm). St Davids head is also great if you want to see the welsh ponies grazing there. We found the pubs in St Davids to all be very similar (All Marstons pubs with pretty much identical menus), and a bit average, but we thought The Bishop was probably the best. Going further afield, both The Sloop Inn and The Shed at Porthgain were good, and The Castle in Newport was excellent.

  A clean, comfortable property in an ideal location for pubs, restaurants, shops and the stunning cathedral.

  Just a few slightly negative observations: 1) Sykes say the property is clearly marked - it isn't. There is no name plate or number and both ourselves and Morrison's delivery driver had difficulty in finding it. 2) The recycling instructions need to be clearly set out in a readable fashion. There are no grey sacks for non-recyclable waste and no green crate for bottles. 3) The cleaners arrived almost 20 minutes early - around 10:10am, when the leaving time was stated as 10:30am. They were under the impression we had to be out for 10am and we're fine about us not being quite ready but the correct time needs communicating to everyone concerned. 4) For dog owners, it's worth pointing out that whilst the garden may be secure for medium sized dogs, small dogs (particularly terriers!) will find a way out through a gap underneath the fence - as we discovered! Fortunately, the neighbours were very understanding. Overall, a pleasant stay and if we ever return to the area, we would have no qualms about staying here again.

  The owners have obviously had couple of windows replaced.

  1st - Lounge window....debris on floor behind settee. Comment on this made by others who stayed months ago. 2nd - Garage which housed tumble dryer. It was like a tip! Once I found a brush, I had to sweep away builders rubble left in the area around the tumble dryer. Then, discovered tumble dryer water collection draw had not been emptied, as water spilling out of it. Also, filter not cleaned for a very long time. Does the owner or anyone else thoroughly check the property? I don’t think so. This was our second stay at Greenfields, in-fact we were the first to rent the property and we had to leave the owner a list of issues, especially the washing machine not operation properly. Admittedly, several of our earlier issues have been addressed including a replacement w/machine but there’s still personal mail in kitchen draw and the bedroom windows are issues. We will not be staying at Greenfields again!
