House was warm and cosy. Beds comfortable, showers hot, fire in lounge added to coziness.

This was the first time we have stayed away for Christmas and we really enjoyed ourselves. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of crockery and utensils. The house was warm and comfortable. I needed to check a few things and contact with the owner was helpful and prompt. Easy to get to nearby Solva, Newgale and St Davids. A lovely stay.

It is very well equipped. My only criticism, and it is a small one as the owners might not previously have been made aware of the issue, was that the tumble drier did not work. I reported this but there was no indication of any immediate intention to repair it. This is perhaps the fault of the previous users to not have reported the issue.
