Very close to several sandy beaches and attractions. The swimming pool is lovely, however, after spending an hour trying, I couldn't figure out the booking system so I had to sneak in at 8 am for a peaceful swim. Better guidance and assistance with registering on the app would be helpful. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is a great size. One small issue is that the shower bracket is cracked and loose. However, we had a lovely break and even the weather was kind.

A very well appointed apartment and well situated for touring the West Wales area. Although we stayed for just a few days it proved to be a welcome break. We were, however, surprised that there was no guest book present as we find them to be an invaluable source of information for places to visit and as a recommendation for where others have chosen to eat.

The property is beautiful and in a really nice area, just outside of a gorgeous little village. Itâs brilliantly located with so much to do nearby, whether you want to enjoy the peaceful Pembrokeshire countryside, visit the stunning local beaches or enjoy some of the local attractions. We brought our two little dogs with us and they had a great time too. The property and surrounding site is very dog friendly so perfect for all of us. I just want to say a massive thank you so the owners for being so lovely to us and letting us enjoy our holiday in your beautiful property.
