  This is a wonderful, cute little cottage that definitely met the description given online!

  It's placement is ideal, it is literally on the beach front, which is ideal when you have little ones, and also when you have changeable weather, as we did during our stay. When the tide goes out, there is a nice sandy beach for little ones to play on. In addition, there are some lovely views of the beach from the upstairs bedrooms. The nice little cove offers some privacy away from big crowds, and also provides an excellent base to visit many local beaches and attractions. In terms of facilities, the kitchen and bathroom are both of excellent standard - the power shower has excellent flow and a good temperature. We cooked a few simple meals whilst at the cottage, including stir fry, oven chips, freshly baked croissants and even pancakes! All the relevant equipment was in place to make all of these dishes, including kitchen scales and a measuring jug. Our only problem was that it was not clear that the controls for the heating and hot water in the rest of the house were in the utility room - we had spent some time trying to adjust the thermostat dial outside the bathroom, with no luck, and as a consequence spent a few very cold days in the house thinking that the heating didn't work in the house! Nevertheless, when we eventually called the company, someone came within the hour to explain how the heating system worked. It would also be nice if there could be one electric or oil radiator downstairs, as there are no radiators at all on the downstairs floor, but this is a relatively minor issue for the summer months. I can only assume that we are meant to fire up the wood fire to heat the downstairs during the colder times of year, and whilst there was plenty of wood provided for burning, there was no kindling wood or any instructions, so we struggled to get a fire going. The only other complaint we would have is that although it is really great that the property has a fully functioning washing machine that we used a number of times, the utility room is very cold and damp, as it does not have many windows to let in the sunshine, so we had to hang our washing on the bannisters and in our rooms upstairs, where there were radiators. Conversely, I particularly liked the extensive arrangements in place to try and recycle as much of the household waste as possible. We sorted our waste in the appropriate bags and boxes, and left them all out on the street ready to be collected on Friday morning according to the instructions placed on the wall in the utility room, and it was all taken away. The above are just some minor comments for possible improvement in future, but all in all, we all had a fabulous stay, and would definitely like to come again!

  Our stay at The Old Stable @ New House Farm Cottages was amazing Cheryl and her family were absolutely brilliant.

  We stayed for Christmas 23rd to 27th Dec 2018. We chose this cottage for the lovely countryside location and proximity to Haverfordwest where we have friends and family. The location is also brilliant for trips to some of the amazing beaches and of course City of St David. Cheryl contacted us prior to our arrival welcoming us to the forthcoming stay. She advised about arrival times and was so kind to offer to decorate the cottage for Christmas (which we thought was a lovely kind gesture) which was tastefully decorated and made our Christmas that but more special. She offered to help us with anything prior to our arrival and answered a few queries we had about towels and bedding and HDMI connections so that we could bring our NOW TV :-) On arrival we found a selection of gifts for us (including Christmas crackers which we had forgot to bring!!!) and some fresh milk in the fridge which made settling in with so much easier. We were able to bring our dogs which was a HUGE bonus for us. The farm had plenty of space for small walks so that dogs can relieve themselves (whilst kept on a lead at all times as there were other pets around and the proximity to a working farm which is well justified) and the location of the cottage is relation to some great country and coastal walks is amazing. Which of course is why we were here with our dogs to enjoy the walking. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you needed including little touches like a touch for walking the dogs in the dark! There was a lovely log burning fire with a generous supply of woods and scented kindling. Additionally wood was available for a small charge. The cottage has free view with plenty of channels, but as it was Christmas we wanted to bring our NOW TV and were able to hook up to the Wifi to stream this. The facilities include a laundry which we made use of saving on washing cloths when we got home, again another great benefit was we could hit the ground running on our return. There was also a hose so that we could wash down the dogs after walks. This was an amazing place for us to stay and we look forward to booking this cottage again in 2019.

  My boyfriend and I stayed 6 nights at the old stable cottage.

  The cottage was beautiful and so cosy! We arrived and were welcomed by Cheryl who was so friendly and helpful throughout. The cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped for our stay. Special touch of leaving Welshcakes, tea/coffee/ hot chocolate, fresh milk and even treats for our two dogs who thoroughly enjoyed their stay as much as we did! We did not have to bring towels as they were provided and in the bathroom we were provided with little shampoo, conditioner, shower gel etc. We made use of the laundry room and loved the supply of games and dvds available to use in our cottage. The location of the cottage was perfect for visiting Tenby, St David’s and taking our dogs for coastal walks. The log burner was perfect in the evening after a long day walking in the cold weather. We were close to a few lovely pubs- I’d recommend ‘pub on the green’ its a 5 minute drive from the cottage. Delicious food and they do a steak Friday for such a good price. Thank you for a relaxing holiday! We hope to book again soon!

  The cottage was as described very close to the beach and slipway and with splendid views of the beach and out to sea.

  Great for watching all the activity and being involved in the atmosphere of this compact little village. The cottage was very well fitted out with good equipment and appliances. We felt at home very quickly. The arrangements for parking in the council car park worked well. We only spent a short time in the garden, high above the cottage, and that was enjoyable but perhaps a bit difficult if you wished to carry and eat a meal up there. The cottage was well heated for chilly evenings when the wind blows in from the sea. Nice very short walk up to the point to see the sunset and to get an even better panoramic view of St Brides Bay. The only minor niggles were bedside lights in the bedroom, one was faulty and the other had a failed bulb. The cooker hood was very good but it needed to be cleaned out. Overall this is a great little cottage in a superb position. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

  Little Haven Retreat is a fantastic site and perfect if you want you get away from all the hussle and bustle of modern life.

  The Waves is a fabulous modern property that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was vey clean on arrival and with all bedding and towels supplied this ws sonething else we didnt need to worry about. Having two teenagers in tow having WiFi was a must and it never let them down at all. The private hot tub was a big hit, with both of them taking full advantage of it everyday throughout our stay. The site is in a great location not far from some beautiful beaches and coastal walks and only a 15 minute drive into Haverfordwest where you will find everything you need to stock up on essentials as well as some local delicacies. All in all a fantastic holiday was had by all and we will be booking again for 2024. Thanks for the memories The Northings
