Also all main destinations were within easy reach. Unfortunately for us, being in our mid 70's, the stairs were a problem. When I booked the property, there was no mention of how steep the stairs were. It came as quite a shock when we entered the property. In this present climate I think the stairs could possibly pose a health & safety issue Having said all that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We arrived after 5 pm as requested due to an issue with the cleaner. After a 6 hour drive we were keen to get in having 2 young children in our party. All beds were clean also bathrooms , Kitchen was Ok. All other areas were really dusty and the house was full of cobwebs, I live in an old cottage so know cobwebs can be an issue, but the cleaner had just been in ! We had to clear brambles to make the garden safe for the children, the games room had not been looked at for weeks, dead insects all over the floor. The property is lovely but very hot(having the Aga) and noisy near the road and windows need to be open. Maybe the owner should review the cleaner they have, an unusual quirky property with so much potential. Refuse /recycle facilities not in place, we tried but had no recycle sacks. Vacuum totally fuzzed up and not maintained. We still had a lovely family holiday in beautiful Pembrokeshire.
