Nearby Whitesands Bay is one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, and walkers will delight in the spectacular views from the coastal path which runs around the complete coastline of Pembrokeshire.

We only had a couple of issues which were sorted by the owner. It has a safe enclosed patio and decking. A washing line would be great as no tumble drier. Only one tv in the living room none in the bedrooms which was a little unusual but not a problem. We will definately rebook for the Spring. The down side is you cannot get through to Sykes Holidays with any queries it is impossible to speak to anyone.

The house was warm and inviting, good TV package, good parking and WIFI. And within easy walking distance for the town and amenities. We had a minor query on the first day but the owner and caretaker sorted it swiftly. Highly recommended.

Sadly not too clean .Last people's rubbish left in a bedroom bin , plates were greasy and dirty and also basics should be left for guests like tablets for the dishwasher . These problems can easily be remedied however, so itâs a good place to stay .
