Guests say
Beacon Cottage receives high praise for its peaceful rural setting, stunning sea views, and proximity to the Pembrokeshire coast and local attractions. Guests consistently highlight the well-equipped conservatory, cleanliness, and suitability for families and those seeking relaxation. While some mention minor issues such as unclear directions, lack of enclosed garden, and occasional heating or hot water challenges in poor weather, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews describe the cottage as very clean and well kept, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one review mentions muddy dogs due to weather, but this is not attributed to the property itself.
The location is frequently praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and easy access to coastal walks and local attractions. The rural setting is appreciated, though guests note the absence of nearby shops, which is clearly communicated in the property description.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, warm, and cosy, with special mention of the beds and conservatory. A few mention issues with heating and hot water during poor weather, and some accessibility concerns for less able guests, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The cottage is described as well equipped, especially for families and those with pets. Some guests suggest improvements such as a garden gate, more basic cooking supplies, and a handrail in the shower. Occasional maintenance issues (e.g., recycling shed door) are noted but do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Beacon Cottage lies on a quiet country lane above the tiny hamlet of Llanrhian. Formerly a milking parlour, it is a recent conversion, neatly proportioned with ground floor and attic bedrooms and open plan kitchen, dining and living room. The sunny conservatory offers panoramic views across fields and out to sea above the nearby village of Porthgain. In summer watch the sun set over the Abereiddi valley or stroll down for supper to the Shed Bistro or the Sloop Inn in Porthgain. With water heating assisted by solar panels, Beacon Cottage is warm and comfortable and a lovely destination for a holiday at all times of year.
It is a pleasant walk or a short drive to Porthgain from which the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs both east and west. The dramatic coastal scenery, flower and wildlife are what make Pembrokeshire one of the world’s best holiday destinations (National Geographic voted Pembrokeshire the 2nd best coastal destination in the world). Splendid at all times of year, the explosion of colour with the spring flowers is something to behold!
Neighbouring Abereiddi, has pretty colour-washed former miners’ cottages, black sandy beach (where dogs are welcome all year round) and the remarkable Blue Lagoon. Popular with families, the sand, which is visible at low tide, also contains a high concentration of fossils and is a draw for fossil hunters. Beach 2¾ miles. Pub and restaurant 1¾ miles.

Really loved Beacon cottage. Situated on a lovely quiet lane. The view across the fields to the sea is so restful. The cottage itself is very comfortable. The lounge sofa and chairs are super comfy as is the conservatory furniture. The beds are comfy however the upstairs bedroom does get very warm on a warm day and the steps are very steep and narrow. Not ideal for young children or people with limited mobility. The only disappointment we had was that the garden was not fully fenced in and sits within a cluster of 2 other cottages. It appeared that this was a shared garden which was not mentioned on the cottage description. Thankfully we had quiet neighbours for the duration but would be very unhappy if this were not the case. Sadly this would stop us from booking again as we go on holiday for peace and quiet and also have a dog.

Beacon cottage turned out to be a 5 star cottage very comfortable. The cottage is in an excellent location for visiting various beaches and the walking of the coastal paths. All being well we shall be making a return visit next year.

Excellent short break in a beautiful location. We know the area very well, but there was lots of useful information in the cottage. Wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.
