With a variety of shops, cafes, pubs and a small supermarket, it offers everything you need. The twin town of Fishguard is only two miles away, where you will find more unique shops, a delicatessen, pubs, restaurants and the Last Invasion Tapestry, which is based on the famous Welsh ladies' victory over the French and has been compared to the Bayeux Tapestry. Located in such a great coastal position, the Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire section of the world-famous Welsh coastal path is right on your doorstep, so enjoy the scenic walks, outstandingly beautiful beaches, the opportunity to watch dolphins and seals and so much more! From lazy, warm summer days to wild and windy winter days, the scenery is ever-changing and always remarkable.

A typical Welsh cottage inside, the front room is of a good size but a little tight for 5 people. The bedrooms were nice and the rear porch was a fantastic space where we could clean our dogs off before allowing them around the rest of the cottage. The bathroom was good and the rear patio a sun trap when the weather was nice. A few negatives however, No Welcome Pack, ONE toilet roll left, No starter pack of logs as was stated originally and others have commented on, the living room fireplace needs attention, there is not enough crockery, the fridge is TINY, no space to store food. Most worryingly the garden has two storm drains which exit onto the road and both my dogs escaped through them, the fence along the back is loose and both dogs were able to escape under them, the river is fab but was just another escape route for our dogs. If you are going to welcome dogs into the cottage, please make it secure for them! We spent a lot of time trying to fix these issues and having to put our dogs on leads to go out into the garden. Not sure we would return

It was very quiet and a super base to explore north Pembrokeshire. We loved the stream in the garden and the sheep in the field. Be aware there is no welcome pack so ensure you have your own milk tea coffee for arrival. Also the listing says fuel is provided. This does NOT include any solid fuel for the fires. We would happily return.

We especislly appreciated the fact that matches, kindling, and logs were left for us. The beds are very comfortable. The place was spotlessâ¦which leads us to our one big complaint. As a dog friendly rental, we appreciate your request to keep the very lovely back garden clean. However, this needs to be checked between renters; we had to clean up masses of âremainsâ, far more than our medium sized collie produced. This did cast a bit of a pall on an otherwise pleasant week. As responsible dog owners, we cleared up everything we could find, but really did not appreciate all of the extra, especially after paying an extra fee to have our own dog there. I fear not all dog owners are responsible, so that a scan of the garden between rentals really should be done. (If we had arrived with children, for example, things would have got messy very quickly.) I am sorry to have to write this, because otherwise Ty Gwyn is lovely and we would recommend it.
