Guests say
Tan y Castell Cottage receives glowing praise for its peaceful countryside setting, cosy and well-equipped interiors, and excellent hospitality. Guests consistently highlight the comfort, cleanliness, and abundance of thoughtful touches, such as a welcome pack on arrival. The hot tub, conservatory, and proximity to Narberth and local beaches are frequently mentioned as standout features. While the spiral staircase may pose a challenge for some, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews describe the cottage as very clean, well presented, and well maintained, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
The tranquil, secluded countryside location is highly praised, with easy access to Narberth and nearby beaches. Some mention the single-track lane, but this does not detract from the overall positive impression.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and relaxing spaces such as the conservatory and lounge. The only minor issue raised is the narrow spiral staircase, which may be challenging for some.
The cottage is described as exceptionally well equipped, with a modern kitchen, hot tub, log burner, and even an electric car charging point. Maintenance is praised, and the property is considered to have everything needed for a relaxing stay.
Guests repeatedly mention the warm welcome from the host and the generous welcome packs, including food and drink. While these gifts are frequently provided, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.

A footpath runs next to the house, giving access to the surrounding countryside. The origin of the gorgeous Tan Y Castell Welsh cakes is to be found right in the kitchen of main house itself.
Tan Y Castell Cottage has been delightfully restored to its former glory and has been lovingly furnished to a high standard to offer the perfect family holiday or couple’s romantic retreat.

Another great week in this lovely cottage. Set in a peaceful valley with walks from the door, it has everything you need, and more. Martin, the owner, now lives next door, so was on hand to sort out any issues.Pleasant evenings spent in the hot tub watching the woodpeckers on the bird feeders.Great welcome hamper🍾
