Wow what a stunning property. Very well equipped, comfortable and very good value for money. The owner was on hand if you required anything. Definitely will visit again. ##### Tracey Gee This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony Wing 8 Aug 2025 #### The beautiful cottage with its own huge garden was an ideal getaway spot for us (and the dog!). The beautiful cottage with its own huge garden was an ideal getaway spot for us (and the dog!). The house itself has a rich history and many quirks and is extremely comfortable with every amenity you will need (hidden huge utility room) The bedrooms (all ensuite) were stylish with real art and antique furniture. It is in an ideal position to explore Pembrokeshire and not to far from local town for shopping. The kitchen was fun to cook in and it didn't take long to settle in and enjoy the house. The owner is close by and was very helpful and friendly (well done David). The fantastic cottage is suitable for any (large) family's or a romantic get away for a couple. I will be booking again next year for a longer period and bring my extended family to this fantastic and historic cottage. definitely 10/10! ##### Tony Wing ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Heritage Park Pontypridd, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Heritage-Park-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1668045.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Portmeirion & Castell Deudraeth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrhyndeudraeth-Hotels-Hotel-Portmeirion-Castell-Deudraeth.h10075714.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaufort Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Beaufort-Park-Hotel.h912336.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Best-Western-Aberavon-Beach-Hotel.h865770.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Broad Haven - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-YHA-Broad-Haven-Hostel.h11518399.Hotel-Information) > > [The Towers Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Neath-Hotels-The-Towers-Hotel-And-Spa.h2305564.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel.h3928584.Hotel-Information) > > [Seiont Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Seiont-Manor-Hotel.h486288.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Inn Brewhouse B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Brewhouse-BB.h30496831.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel St David's, Nr Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deeside-Hotels-Village-Hotel-St-Davids.h903462.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Rhianfa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menai-Bridge-Hotels-Chateau-Rhianfa.h5103718.Hotel-Information) > > [Quay Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-Quay-Hotel-And-Spa.h1517268.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-St-Pierre-Marriott-Hotel-Country-Club.h65879.Hotel-Information) > > [Herons Lake Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Herons-Lake-Retreat.h33266089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-The-Grove-Hotel.h36706330.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Plas Talgarth Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machynlleth-Hotels-Macdonald-Plas-Talgarth-Holiday-Resort.h13232286.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wolfe Inn Wolfscastle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-The-Wolfe-Inn.h31934315.Hotel-Information) > > [Slebech Park Restaurant & Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Slebech-Park-Restaurant-Rooms.h44234430.Hotel-Information) > > [The Druidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-The-Druidstone-Hotel.h23532098.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardigan-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel-Spa.h11900793.Hotel-Information) > > [Twr Y Felin Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Twr-Y-Felin-Hotel.h11871255.Hotel-Information) > > [Tre-Ysgawen Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangefni-Hotels-Tre-Ysgawen-Hall.h3499549.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Maenan Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanrwst-Hotels-Plas-Maenan-Country-House.h41741536.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion Quays Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oswestry-Hotels-Lion-Quays-Hotel-Spa.h1379396.Hotel-Information) > > [Roch Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Roch-Castle-Hotel.h11871041.Hotel-Information) > > [Trearddur Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holyhead-Hotels-Trearddur-Bay-Hotel.h15717627.Hotel-Information) > > [St David's Cross Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-St-Davids-Cross-Hotel.h48309985.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Cabin Sleeps 5 Glan Gwna Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Stunning-2-Bed-Chalet-In-Caernarfon.h58060470.Hotel-Information)
