  Me and my hubby (and our cocker spaniel) booked Pentowyn for a long weekend away to celebrate our second anniversary and what a weekend we had.

  The cottage it’s gorgeous and has been renovated really well and tastefully. We book these type of places for the location as we like to go out walking and this location was better than we anticipated, it’s literally right on the beach and should be advertised as a sea view property. I found myself setting alarms for earlier than normal to appreciate the sun rise views out of the bedroom window and even popping across to the beach to really take it all in as the place was so quiet and peaceful at that time. Short drives away took us to Holyhead mountain, red dwarf bay and other beautiful walks perfect for dogs. The garden was huge and the same with the drive, all enclosed so perfect for just letting the dog roam around but could imagine would be great for families too. For tall families/people, upstairs has very low ceilings, this isn’t a complaint as it’s an old building and the property is quirky, we were fine with it as we didn’t really spend our time up there. More tea towels or maybe a kitchen roll would have been good but that is literally the only slight niggle we could find with this place. Thank you for an amazing weekend and we will be back in future I’m sure. Nat, Chris & Paddy the dog.

  Pentowyn is a cute little cottage perfectly situated just a few steps from the coastal path and a nice wide beach.

  When the tide's out, there's a huge expanse of sand to exercise dogs and humans alike! And at the far end of the beach there's the lovely Penrhos nature reserve where we found secluded coves and wonderful woodland walks. The owners have renovated the property to a high standard with great fixtures and fittings including a fabulous log burner which guaranteed a cosy day spent indoors when it was wet & windy outside. We were lucky with the weather for most of our week and we were able to make full use of the spacious garden and the little patio area with table and chairs (these weren't on any of the photos of the cottage when we booked so think it would be a good idea to update them to show this nice outdoor dining area). We noted that a previous visitor had mentioned that the garden wasn't totally enclosed, but we found it to be completely fenced off (perhaps new?) and our cocker spaniel was safely confined no matter how hard she tried to find an escape route! There's a plethora of shops, takeaways and restaurants all just minutes away, making Pentowyn a really convenient choice too - we had a really great week and would highly recommend it for a memorable break.

  What a fabulous cottage!

  We loved our stay and wished we’d have booked for longer. The cottage had everything and more and the little touches were lovely. The yummy chocolate cake and milk in the fridge were a welcome surprise after a long journey. The location was perfect and right on the beach and the views from the window were beautiful. Round the corner are supermarkets and a retail park so the best of both worlds. The cottage had a lovely garden with seating area that was great for our dog to wander safely. Inside, everything was clean and furnished to a high standard with cosy and comfortable beds. The only small things I would say to improve the property would be the size of the towels. The bath towels were very small so I’d recommend taking your own. Also as a bit of a snob, I’d have liked to see a better offering of drinking glasses. More larger glasses for lager or gin and Prosecco glasses would be welcomed for the fizz. If you book this cottage you won’t be disappointed and I’d definitely book again Thank you Jane and family for having us x

  What a lovely holiday cottage!

  We have really enjoyed our stay here, especially with the beach being so close, literally steps away from the front door! The house is pretty well-stocked, although a quiche and lasagne dish would be good additions to the kitchen cupboard. The heating issue was quickly sorted by the friendly owners, many thanks! The log burner is wonderful and most welcome on the chillier evenings. The 2 bathrooms downstairs are good; although we missed a toilet upstairs (ageing knees going up and down in the night!!) But this is clear in the cottage description. The shops are very close by and proved a great convenience for stocking up the fridge and cupboards. Overall, we've spent a lovely week here. Our dogs loved the large enclosed garden too. The weather hasn't been great but the cottage has been a lovely place to sit in, relax, get dry, warm up and chill out. Highly recommended.

  Loved our short break at the beginning of December, lovely cottage with an enclosed garden for the dogs.

  A nice touch was the basket provided with towels and throws for the dogs. Brilliant straight across the road to the dog friendly beach. There is a caravan site over the fence next door, which was closed during our visit. The wood burner in the lounge made it very cosy together with Sky TV including movies. You did have to bend down to go into the bedroom upstairs and the bathroom and shower room were downstairs which we didn't find a problem. I would say though we were woken at 6.30 am on 2 mornings by the council worker coming to empty the waste bin in the car park next to the property with loud music blaring out. The dog walkers turn up at all times of day, parking in front of the gates to the property on the other side of the road, making it difficult to enter and leave the drive. All in all a lovely cottage which I would definitely recommend.
