  A couple of comments about House-keeping.

  The cardboard and recycling bag in the kitchen was half full of previous visitors papers. Empty wine bottles in the orange bin provided in cupboard (I did move them into the bin outside with the green lid). Lots of hair and fluff between cushions on both sofas which we put in the Ash Bucket by the fire. That bucket hadn't been emptied and was about 1/4 full. The Meat tins and baking trays in the oven were in a disgusting state (I have taken photos) When i turned the oven on to cook a pizza on opening the door after waiting to get warm a huge cloud of smoke and fumes greeted me and it actually stung my eyes and was very irritating. I feel the oven needs a deep clean and the baking trays need replacing. The day before departure I went to the bin with the green lid to put our black rubbish bag and empty blue recycling bag. Not easy access to open the doors on this bunker style bin (I'm not very tall so could not reach inside very easily) The bunker was quite full of black bags and when I tried to move one it started to tear and banana skins almost came out. The main recycling bag at the very bottom was virtually empty apart from a cardboard toilet roll which appeared to have been nibbled by something. With the amount of rubbish still in the bunker I feel it could encourage little unwelcome visitors. We hadn't got much rubbish at all, only half a black bag and I disposed of it in the bin on the caravan park, although I am aware you're not supposed to. Apart from the above, we had a wonderful time and Little Barn is a perfect location for visiting relatives and lots of places to visit and would return in the future.

  The property is pretty and in a nice location.

  Unfortunately when we arrived it had not been cleaned and we were met with dirty bed linen and towels. After a nine hour car journey this was so disappointing as we just wanted to relax. After reporting this the cleaners came and did a quick whizz round offering to leave the hoovering and dusting which i declined and asked them to do it. Later we noticed that there were old dirty marks on the single bed sheet and bleach marks on the towel. No mopping took place on hard floors either. The cottage suffers from damp which is evident in places and the bed quilt felt damp even though the heating is good. Lack of attention to little things such as the two tin openers did not work and a knife had no point to it. The muck heap opposite the front door didn't bother us much at this time of year until the farmer came to move a couple of loads of it which left mud/muck outside and i noticed he broke up some of the concrete with his tractor. Had to move our car and go out for fear of being blocked in while he did this. When the lack of cleanliness was reported, the caretaker offered us 50.00 for 3 of us to go for dinner but we were too tired to go out after our journey unfortunately so couldn't take it up. The welcome pack was nice and appreciated. There were no logs but caught the cleaners as they left and asked them for some. They left some but we couldnt light the log burner and there were no instructions anywhere as we are not used to log burners.

  Absolutely fabulous week of glorious weather in a glorious setting.

  Bwythan Bach cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. We got a lovely warm welcome from Anona and her mum who live onsite, even the cats came to say hello. The beach which has the amazing Witches Cauldron area is about 45 minutes walk away from the cottage and is a must see, it’s spectacular and a great excuse to leave the car! It’s the first time in all the years of holidaying that I’ve felt so completely and utterly relaxed! Everything was just so easy with the open plan one level layout. There was a burst water main one day so consequently no water for a few hours. Anona came round with a box of chocolates despite it being totally out of her control to apologise to us. Can’t sing this place’s highly enough. The only thing I might change if it was my property would be to maybe put a little bit of privacy screening up as this cottages garden was at the front and as such I didn’t feel I could sunbathe there despite it being the weather to do so. It would not stop me returning though as I would love to come back again very soon. Thank you Anona and Andrew.

  Bwthyn Bach was one of a small number of other converted farm buildings within a working farm.

  Although there were other guests around, this didn't feel intrusive. The old, thick brick walls meant that the sound proofing was excellent, helpful when you have 2 dogs. We had an issue with the shower and bath, but we informed the owners, so I'm sure this will have been sorted. WiFi was very slow and only really able to access emails, so if anyone is wanting to work from home on their holiday (why would you!?), then this will need to be taken into account. The farm is situated a bit out of the way, so we drove to places we wanted to go to and walked from there. Nevern is a beautiful place and we found a stunning walk, discovering the river where we saw Kingfishers and Dippers. Newport is the nearest small town and there is where you can walk along Newport Bay, as well as do your shopping. The beauty of staying in Nevern/ Newport area, is that it is only 20 to 40 mins drive away from all the coastal walks we wanted to do. Porthgain, Fishguard, St David's and Dinas Island. The cottage had everything you need for a comfortable stay in a beautiful part of Pembrokeshire.

  Absolutely great little place in a nice quiet spot.

  The owner's son was on hand and very helpful and accommodating. The property is very clean and tidy and we loved it. Facilities are good with a L'Or Coffee pod machine, microwave and a duo of hot plates for heating up saucepans. The toilet/bathroom is a wet room which is really good . Upstairs is the bedroom with a comfy bed. The stairs up are more of a ladder than true stairs which can cause an issue for anyone with mobility issues so bear this in mind. My only issue is that it would be good to have non slip pads on the stairs as I did have a small slip on one occasion resulting in a bruise. We saw rabbits and a fox in the area and there are wild ponies around too so lots of wildlife. Overall a lovely apartment in a gorgeous part of the world. Recommended. Ade & Kate.
