We had a fabulous holiday at Collingwood cottage. The cottage was full of character, the showers were wonderful and the garden safely enclosed which was fantastic for our dog. The location was perfect for visiting Skomer Island, clifftop walking and the beach. We organised our shopping around trips out further afield as well as frequenting the local amazing Runwayskiln cafe and Camille's pizza (order early).

Good location for walking and perfect for Skomer Island, which was fabulous. Rooms are a good size and the kitchen well equipped. There is ample parking, we had two small cars both of which fitted in the drive but you would need to make use of the layby opposite if you have two large cars, the layby was always free when we stayed. Keycode and instructions for access was on final invoice. Key for front and porch was on a key rack (look up) in the downstairs loo/coat store. We left this key in the front door so we had two means of escape in case of fire, but used the back door which is perfectly equipped for muddy boots and wet gear. There is a pub across the road which serves food and you can get an excellent pizza from Camille's Pizza, (although you do need to check when open and order in advance).
