We had expected more from all the great reviews recently written. The first night, we got into the hottub and immediately my legs started to itch terribly, we didn't stay long in the hottub due to this discomfort and when we got out, our legs were red raw, we immediately attempted to wash what we assumed was too much chlorine off, in the shower but still our legs remained itchy and sore. The shower is a wet room and the flooring is not designed for this purpose, it is so slippery and I ended up slipping and falling on the floor that same evening, fortunately I did not hurt myself too badly. We then decided to have some food, only to find that there was nothing in sight to take anything out of the oven, no oven glove or tea towel so we gave up and went to bed, which was the most uncomfortable experience, the bedding looked as if it should have been thrown away years back. It was awful quality and rough. The next morning, we decided to speak to the owner about the hot tub and then go out for the day and try to make the most of the weekend. We would pick up some tea towels and attempt the hotub again that evening. I will say that the owner was very nice about the hottub situation and did say it would be sorted by the time we got back. Although, she did mention that it had been checked before we arrived. That evening, the owner came to see us and advised us that the hottub had been emptied and refilled and that the issue was that there had been too much chlorine in there (even though it had been checked)? We gave the hot tub another try but didn't last long in there before we had to get out again. I'm not sure if the damage had already been done and our skin could take no more or if the issue had not been resolved. We did not return to the hottub after that, which is a shame as we'd only chosen this cottage due to the covered hot tub. The other issue with our stay was the lack of attention to detail where cleanliness was concerned. The house was generally clean, such as the beds and worktops but the draining board looked as if it had not been cleaned in months and I'd had to scrub it clean to be able to put any clean utensils on it. The bathroom mirror had long hairs all over it and the bathroom walls were mouldy. We had initially thought we would go home on the Friday but decided to make the most of being away by going into Saundersfoot and Tenby but we were really disappointed in this cottage and this put a dampener on the whole weekend. To top it all off, due to the chemical burns from the hot tub, when we got home, our skin was bad for over a week and we had to get treatment from the pharmacy. We will not be visiting this place again. I wasn't going to leave a review but thought people needed to be warned about the hot tub and very dangerous bathroom floor. I'm fortunate that I am quite young and didn't hurt myself when I fell but I would be concerned if this happened to an older person.

A home away from home set on the outskirts of Laugharne, we couldn't have asked for better holiday. Stuart and Andrea are welcoming, friendly and always at hand should you need them . They go above and beyond, 2 weeks just wasn't long enough for us we loved it ! . The surrounding areas have gorgeous beaches , lovely shops restaurants , pubs and cafes . Not to mention the castles, walks and so much for the kids . Highly recommend .

Lovely quiet location with great scenery. Unique aspect is the range of animals on site which we loved. The owners are very friendly, welcoming and kind. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.
