Snaptrip says

Guests consistently praise The Barn at Waunlippa for its tranquil and beautiful surroundings, comfortable and well-appointed interiors, and the warm hospitality of hosts Patrick and Orsola. The hot tub is frequently mentioned as a highlight, along with Orsola's culinary skills. Despite a single negative experience, the property is highly recommended for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews overwhelmingly describe the barn as spotlessly clean, with only one isolated complaint about the hot tub, which seems to be an exception rather than the norm.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, accessibility to Narberth, and proximity to Pembrokeshire's coastal walks and beaches. One review mentioned the property being smaller than expected, which may slightly affect the perception of location in terms of spaciousness.

The majority of guests found the cottage very comfortable, cosy, and homely, with a few noting the warmth and cosiness even during rainy weather. Comfort levels seem to be high across reviews.

Facilities like the hot tub and fire are frequently mentioned positively. However, there were a few comments about Wi-Fi connectivity issues and the hot tub's intermittent operation, which suggests some room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

While many reviews mention the hosts' warm welcome and the provision of meals by Orsola, there are no specific references to gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts, and the score is set to null.
