Clean and had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was brilliant for our two dogs. The sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking. Location was great for local beaches. Half hour away from poppit sands, aberporth Saundersfoot and Tenby. The only thing worth mentioning was the road traffic could be off putting for some. We were ok with it. some of the big lorries driving past fast did sound like trains but like i said it didn't bother us but could be bothersome for some. The owner did pop by to check we were ok which was nice. Also left us a a couple of ciders, Welsh cakes and eggs and milk. There was a supply of tea, sugar coffee and cleaning products too. In fact was probably the best stocked self catering rental we have stayed at. Would stay again!

Spacious, clean, comfortable and with views to die for. The garden was very secure for our very inquisitive little dog, and the hot tub was a wonderful treat every evening.
