The location is extremely quiet at night and the paddock was perfect for exercising our 2 dogs. Haverfordwest - about 20 mins away - has all the main shops and supermarkets and the general location of the property was ideal for touring the county, which has to be one of the best in the UK. One recommendation would be to provide the location using What3words which is becoming more and more popular and is extremely accurate.

Especially the paddock nearby where we could leave him off his lead and do some training. Heather is the perfect host making sure we had everything we needed. The extra little touches like a packet of biscuits, bottle of wine and milk in the fridge and torches for taking the dog out ment a lot to us.
