  The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable and the owner was helpful putting things right as necessary.

  What let the cottage down was the basics not being available. No hand wash in the kitchen, the tiniest amount of washing up liquid, not one dishwasher tablet, no fire starter pack, one solitary toilet roll, the smallest welcome pack we have ever experienced, 2 tea bags, 2 instant coffee sachets, pint milk - welsh cakes were appreciated though, no spare bin bags, resolved, no hot tub towels, resolved, no washing line or clothes maiden, resolved. We don't expect all inclusive and we bring provisions it did feel that the basics were skimped on. The lack of a visitors book was a real shame, as they can be so helpful with previous visitors recommendations. There is an information pack however it is out of date. We went to a market detailed in there to find is ceased trading a year ago and the farm shop has very little there not worth the drive. Some of the places recommended are a long way from the cottage. As previous visitors have mentioned, the bathroom can become smelly at times, the lack of net curtains in the bedroom creates a lack of privacy. The hot tub recommended temperature of 34 degrees creates a luke warm tub and is nowhere near hot enough. We have rented several properties with hot tubs and have never encountered this. It should be declared on the listing, I would not book a cottage that insisted on this. Again, this felt like a cost cutting exercise. Overall, an absolutely lovely property and the owner was helpful. We had a lovely time staying there, just needs a bit more attention to visitors' needs.

  Tremynydd Fawr is in a wonderful location, far away from any noise, no street lights to pollute the sky and only a short walk to the coast path.

  Its solid stone walls protected us from the mighty winds and we had plenty of room to spread ourselves, (our party being 5 adults and 3 children.) The kids loved the garden too. However, a couple of things need to be attended to.There were several light bulbs that were not working, in the lamp in the lounge, and one of the lounge main light bulbs, and one of the bedside lights in the larger twin room, and we couldn’t find any spares! The oven heats up very unevenly, tending to over cook things on the bottom shelf. Also, we lost the water pressure several times when people had baths and we had no water for a bit. Probably a private water supply, which I am quite used to, having lived in a remote Welsh farmhouse, but does that need a mention to warn people? Oh, and could you provide sharper kitchen knives please. Everyone was comfy and warm, although the smaller room double bed was apparently a bit uncomfortable, with the bed springs causing a bit of a problem. Having said all that, these are small issues that could easily be rectified and we had a fantastic week there, exploring our favourite parts of North Pembs, and we became quite fond of what the children called ‘our holiday house’. Diolch yn fawr i chi.

  Lovely quiet cottage, 10 mins walk to the Wales Coastal Path and 15 mins walk to Trefin. The small welcome pack of tea/coffee milk and Welsh cakes were very welcome after a long drive. Oh, and there was a bottle of red wine too, great touch. Underfloor heating kept the cottage warm and there's instant hot water. The bath is a God send after a day's walking. Really good equipment levels in the kitchen, more here than we have at home. The small log burner added an extra level of cosiness during our stay at the end of January. We brought our own kindling/logs as we had some surplus at home. But you may be able to arrange supplies from the cottage owners if you wish. A great addition is the use of a 7kWh electric car charger. I have a PHEV so it was great to use it for local driving to nearby towns and villages. Pay for what you use essentially. There is an outside tap to clean off muddy boots etc, and also the use of a washing machine in the shed outside. All in all, a great little base for your holiday in God's country

  We were 7 adults, two dogs and had a very enjoyable holiday.

  The house was very comfortable and had plenty of bathrooms and hot water. The garden overlooked moorland which was rather wild but exciting. The track from the road was quite rugged. Although remote it was a convenient distance from St. Davids for shopping and visiting. You could walk to the coastal paths through the fields but it wasn't that close. There was a problem with the plumbing on one occasion but the owner was very charming came out immediately and sorted it. The dogs loved it as they had a good garden to run in and on closing the gate were sort of secure. There is a roadside cafe not too far away and nice to walk to. The area is ideal for exploring Pembrokeshire. We visited St. Davids, the cathedral and the Bishops Palace, Pembroke Castle, Solva, Porthgain, Fishguard and did lots of walks. The house was well equipped but we felt the kitchen utensils could be improved. Despite having bad weather we had a great time. I would highly recommend if you like country living.

  I marked down the equipment as we didnt find a torch or candles and knowing from previous stays nearby, we have had times with electric out, last year we spent an evening at a very nearby cottage in darkness as electric off but thankfully they had lots of candles there. I also found the settee to be a sink hole that was hard to get out of so not very comfortable. It would also be a bonus to have a spare toilet roll as we ran out. The picnic bench in garden is broken, not attached underneath so didnt feel safe to use. other than that the cottage was wonderful and even when the boiler broke it was repaired within a few hours, great hosts and the best welcome package we have ever received, they went above and beyond, it was most appreciated, we would be more than happy to return.
