The location is highly regarded for its easy access to the beach, coastal paths, and local facilities, making it an excellent base for exploring Pembrokeshire.
While the cottage is generally considered cosy and warm, some guests experienced discomfort due to low doorways and the steep staircase, which could be problematic for taller individuals or those with mobility issues.

You could not find a nicer environment to holiday or live West End cottage is 'compact', the owners have carefully restored the building. Unfortunately, to maintain some of original features the door way into the bathroom is too low. I split the top my head and needed medical attention to clean up the skin and blood. 145cm (4 ft 9in) is very low. The lintel needs to be raised or softened to reduce damage to head contact. I will not be staying there again.

Very close to the coastal path so well positioned for walks. Good shops and restaurants locally With a wooden spiral staircase, not sure how suitable it is for elderly people?
