  Located at the end of a nice quite cul de sac is this lovely bungalow with gated private driveway.

  Really easy to find. The garden at the front is fully secure to ensure pets cannot get out. There is also a gate by the garage in the front garden that leads to a footpath that will take you into town. The rear garden is nice and private with benches and seating, please note that there is a stream that litteraly runs along side the garden and bungalow with a steep drop down to it, bare this in mind if travelling with small toddlers, however if your pets love the water then this will be ideal for them as you can get access to it further down the garden. The bungalow itself was nice and spacious, evrey room was huge, the fact that the kitchen, dining area and living are in a u shape config was a bonus. The living room tv has full sky + HD with most, if not all the channels including the movie channels, also has Netflix. The kitchen has evreything you need, Washing machine was useful after getting muddy on the walks. There is also a heated clothes dryer in the cupboard. The shower was nice and powerful and spacious. The bedrooms are large with plenty of cupboard storage. The mattresses are quite hard on both the double and single beds although this wasn't a problem for us. I think they are memory foam. The single beds are smaller than standard and not really suited for tall adults, unless you want cold feet :). There was lovely fresh flowers and a nice bottle of wine with cheese crackers upon arrival wich was greatly appreciated. Also note that there is very little/no phone signal in the bungalow but there is good fast WiFi and a land-line available. The Welsh coastal path is is only a 5 min walk away, there is a lovely walk down the estuary and through the golf course and back along Newport beach. Top top* don't forget your wellies or shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. There is a spar in town for essentials but good luck getting bread, we tryed 3 days and there was no bread at all, alltho there is a large co-op and tesco express in Fishguard which is only a 10-15 min drive away. Or there is a tesco superstore in cardigan which is around 20-25mins drive. There is a few pubs in town aswell, I can't comment as I never went in any of them. All in all we would absolutely recommend this cottage and would return time and time again.

  Were to begin?

  As reported back in June 2023, the kitchen cupboard under the sink absolutely stank and the smell permeated through the house unless you kept the lounge door closed all the time. We had to leave both outside door in the kitchen area open to actually go into the kitchen to do anything. There were cobwebs on top of the kitchen units (which we removed), but the actual unit tops are filthy dirty with grease and grim. The oven is filthy and can not be used in that condition. The shower was black with mould all along the door bottom runners and in the corners and again had to be cleaned thoroughly before use. To the main bedroom, there is bedding stored in the clothes hanging area. Whether this was clean or dirty is anybodies guess. As for the cleaning equipment stored in the utility/cloakroom, well the vacuum cleaner looked like it had never been empted, so not really useable. The garden table and chairs are so rusty you would stain your clothing if you sat down and used them, so were useless. The internet was practically useless as connection was intermittent and for the most part not connected. We took our first day and and a half giving the house a clean, but still could not get rid of the smell/stench in the kitchen cupboard under the sink Its a shame as the house could be very nice if it was thoroughly cleaned and maintained. It was in a nice area with shops and eating places nearby.

  The four of us, myself, partner and his parents thoroughly enjoyed a really relaxing week at goldcrest.

  We weren’t allowed in until 6pm due to covid regulations being met, regarding cleanliness. That said, there were a number of areas where the standard wasn’t met...dusting nest of tables, moving sideboard to clean floor and stains/drips on the woodwork beside the dining table. These were niggles, and didn’t detract from the holiday. But these really should have been dealt with in the extra time that the cleaners had. The set up was great. Open plan so you could talk easily with each other, even into the garden, as you stepped onto a decked veranda from kitchen or lounge. Two great sized bedrooms, great shower and lounge area. We had a problem with the tv and the owners popped in within 30mins to sort it out. Both very helpful and friendly. Our dog really enjoyed the garden...and ran around it with joy! He really made the most of every inch! Newport is a gorgeous town which we’ve stayed in 4 times now. Invariably we will return as there is so much in Newport and in Fishguard and Cardigan, which are both close by car. Unfortunately we won’t be returning next year, purely due to the increase in cost, for the same period. But we may well look at other weeks, as we all loved the property.

  Thank you so much for letting us stay in your property.

  We have had a fantastic holiday. The cottage is in a great location, near to our points of interest; Nevern and Fishguard. It is a 15 minute walk to the beach and has a few local shops and pubs (but most don't serve alcohol until 4pm). The facilities were good, plenty of pans, cups, cutlery, dishwasher, washing machine, freezer, etc. But the fridge didn't seem cold enough, even when turned up all the way. So unfortunately our meat turned bad and needed to be thrown in the bin. Also the scissors were broken and the knifes were blunt, which was abit of an inconvenience when cooking. Thank you for the welcome back. The local walks, recipes and Welsh language was a nice touch. It was great to have a contact book of health care facilities, vets, etc for if we needed them. The only negative really is that the Internet is really slow. Most of the time we struggled to use it. Because of this, the property could really do with a smart TV with access to more TV channels or a Netflix account. As we were quite bored in the evenings and wanted to relax in the property.

  Great location for village and pubs although as mentioned before, on a very busy junction.

  This was Sept so should imagine at the height of season, parking would be very difficult for the less confident, as have to reverse onto drive. House is compact but everything we needed in modern kitchen, lounge, double and single bedroom. Single sleeps two children as one bed is a trundle, but that is stated clearly on description. As previously stated, seating only for three in lounge, ok for us as a couple but for a family of four would be difficult. Generally clean but quite a few cobwebs. Probably the first property we have stayed in (and there have been a few) where there has been no welcoming pack, not even a bottle of milk and very sparse on soap, washing up liquid etc even in current times. Beautiful beach is a two mile drive away, passing the estuary on the way. Parking not a problem, stunning views and very dog friendly. Two or three good pubs a few minutes walk away. Definitely recommend The Castle for its food and friendly staff. Overall a very nice stay and would recommend this place for its location alone
