Caroline
Its in such a beautiful spot with amazing views and the house itself is so cosy, nicely decorated and feels luxurious. It was extremely clean on arrival and communication with the rental team was great. We had one minor issue which was fixed immediately. The town of Fishguard is absolutely lovely and the location of the house in walking distance to everything is just perfect. We were 2 families with 2 dogs, and the dogs had the time of their lives. The house is very dog friendly with a basement area for the dogs which leads onto the garden. Literally my only suggestion would be to get some better garden furniture as a picnic bench is not a place you can really relax and drink up that view! Also the check out time of 9.30am is way too early and the cleaners were waiting on the doorstep at 0925! Thanks for a lovely stay!

There are a few things which would make the house even more perfect. There are weeds around front of house and at back door leaves etc which has blown across, these are not fresh and cobwebs around doors. The light fitting on the living room higher level one of the shades are broken, this would look much better if the other two were removed. The two travel cots also need replacing, one has mould inside and the other one of the sides does not lock. The tap in the bathroom as mentioned in other reviews needs fixing as rotates when you are trying to turn it on. The beds are comfy with beautiful bed linen and views from windows at the rear of the house are stunning. These are niggily things that are easily fixed. We had a fabulous time and would recommend this house.

The children were thrilled and excited by the house. We all fitted in. Dishwasher and washing machine were welcome. Garden was enormous. View of the sea was spectacular. Location was near to centre of town.
