Everything you need for a short stay. Great view over the local fields. Bob and Rowenna were welcoming, left me some fresh eggs from their chickens and ducks and provided some welshcakes too. Location means its not close to shops or amenities, but head in to Narberth for all the local shops and produce you could need, Livs bakery is certainly worth a visit.

The cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically converted with plenty of room for a couple, well equipped with lots of storage. Bob and Rowena were lovely hosts - on hand if we had needed them but not intrusive in any way. They left us a lovely welcome basket of a small supply of tea and coffee, eggs and homemade Welsh cakes (the best we had!) and fresh milk and butter in the fridge. They also had a great selection of information about the area, various leaflets and a really handy AA map marked up with the barn's location in relation to various towns and places to visit - all very helpful indeed. Strong wi-fi signal in the property which was wonderful because as you can imagine in the Welsh hills and valleys, mobile reception isn't great! I wouldn't hesitate to revisit Blaenffynnon Bach! Thank you Bob and Rowena

Despite the weather we had a fantastic much needed week away and we are definitely looking to book again later in the year. Rowena and Bob were first class hosts. What more could you want.
