This is our second holiday at Temple Cottage. We felt it was looking a little tired, there were a few things which needed doing. The handle on the wardrobe was still missing from last year, the radiator in the bathroom didn't heat up and the plug in the bathroom sink didn't work. The patio needed weeding which made it look unkept. We have a small dog and found we had to barricade the gaps in the gate. Some fencing across the gate would easily solve this problem. We have decided to go further into Pembrokeshire next year so we don't have to travel so much. The cottage is beautiful but the view outside the bedroom window isn't so great.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful, cosy cottage. Despite being close to the road, the location was surprisingly quiet and peaceful, which made it a really relaxing place to stay.The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom was great and the bed was very comfortable. Our dog particularly loved the size of the garden, which was a real bonus for him!The location was fantastic and made it easy for us to explore lots of different places during our stay. The Meaco fan in the wardrobe was an absolute godsend at night too!There are a few small touches that could be improved, such as a missing handle on the wardrobe, some areas of the kitchen cabinets that could do with a little touch-up paint, and a few cups showing small cracks or chips. We also couldn’t find the remote for the surround sound and found the sofa a little uncomfortable. However, these are minor things and didn’t take away from our holiday or our enjoyment of the property.We did notice what looked to us like the possibility of something being built next to the property. This is only an assumption on our part, but if that is the case, we felt it could take away from the beautiful view from the kitchen window, which would be a real shame.
