Best Property Ever!
The house and garden are terrific, everything you could possibly need! Lots of storage space in the kitchen; great appliances, cookware, dishes, etc.. Our group included a 2 and 4 year old, their parents, and grandparents, and we were all very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints about the house which I find incredible. Trefin is a darling village, easy walk to the beach, and great walks in general, especially along the cliffs. We all enjoyed St. David's and the Bug Ranch, great even without children in tow. Pembroke Castle, about an hour away, was fabulous. Lots of brochures of the area; very helpful book on the house and area. The Ship Inn, almost next door, had great food and even live entertainment one of the times we visited. Highly endorse this home and area! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

A very spacious comfortable house, in a peaceful location, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds and immaculately clean. Perfectly located for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast and the Ship Inn 5 doors down serves good food.

spacious, very clean and a nice location
If you are into cliffs, beaches, nature, paddle boarding, neolithic burial sites and artisan ice cream, then North Pembrokeshire is the place for you. We stayed here at the end of August and missed the puffins (by a month), but caught the seal pups (yay!). The house is very clean, spacious and very well equipped with lots and lots of things to do and see nearby (if you have any of the aforementioned interests). The pictures are a fair and accurate representation of the property and I wholeheartedly recommend it as a holiday rental.

Fab house, great location!
This is our second time that we have stayed at this property and once again we could not fault it. It is a lovely 'home from home', very spacious with an enclosed garden that was great for the grandkids. It also has everything that you could possibly want for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is fab; great views and only a short walk down to the Welsh Coastal Path and a very pretty little cove. The village has a friendly pub and a great cafe that serves very tasty, home-cooked food. I would recommend this to anyone and would love to come back again in the future.

Fab house, great location!
This is a lovely, spacious and comfortable house which has everything that you would want in a 'home away from home'. We spent a few days here when the weather wasn't the best but the house was a warm & welcoming place to come back to. The house has lots of child-friendly features as well as a safe & enclosed garden, ideal for the warmer months. It's in a great location with easy access to the Coastal Path and a short walk from the house is a small cove where we enjoyed watching seals. Within the village there is a friendly pub and a great cafe (open every day except Monday). There are also plenty of things to do and see within a short drive including the city of St. David's. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent facilities and baby friendly! Large house so plenty of space and beautiful views of the fields. We loved that it is a few minutes walk to a beach where we could see seals in the sea. Access to other places of interest via car journey is easy. We are sad to be leaving and will tell all our friends and family about this place.

Perfect getaway cottage
Absolutely perfect coastal cottage. The house was even better than the photos suggest. Spacious, sparkly clean and full of thoughtful touches - this is the perfect base to investigate Pembrokeshire. Location was also fab. Short walk to a little beach and a short car journey to some amazing waves. Just lovely.

Lovely Property
Property was very clean as described and well fitted out. Had everything needed and more. Small feedback would be, bit messy at the front with bins, old toys bags etc. Also, would benefit from a small bench/seat in porch for oldies to sit on whilst putting boots on. Also, plastic old chairs on decking a juxtaposition with the fittings, style and interior quality of the house.

Lovely home near the sea, quiet and rural. Lovely coastal walks nearby and not far from beaches. Two great eateries in Haverfordwest, Sloop Inn and the Shed lovely food and staff. Cottage is bigger than it seems from outside, kitchen great size. Mass at At David's Cathedral with engaging priest and warm welcome. Bedrooms comfy and underfloor heating makes it cosy.

Wonderful cottage!!! Lovely views!!! A dream!!!
What can i say!! This cottage is beautiful!! You always worry when booking somewhere that it will be nice, well you won't be disappointed!!! The cottage is very well equipped and really has everything you could think of, it truly is a home from home experience. The location was lovely for relaxing but also as a base to explore further afield. Bruce and Hedi are lovely and nothing was to much trouble. Check in was easy as there is a key box on the wall. There is a little beach cove 5 min walk down the lane which my children adored. We would spend most evening after tea exploring its rock pools and cave. If you want a holiday where you can come away feeling i want to come back, this is the place for you.

June 2019 Quiet & Relaxing week
House was spacious and well furnished / maintained. Equipment was of a high standard throughout with large fridge, freezer, cooker and supported by dishwasher, washing machine & dryer. Large modern TV with elements of Sky available at no extra charge. Good water pressure and always hot water available. House and village were very quiet - just what we wanted. No traffic or other external noise. Very close to coast path with hour walk to next village that had a restaurant. Local Spar outside village about 5 mins drive is well stocked with basics, but not much in the way of lactose or gluten free products, for which a journey to Haverfordwest was required (if arriving from the East you can buy on the way through). Nice long views over farmland from master bedroom and completely dark at night. When wind blows however there is a small gap that whistles. Don't usually return to a holiday rental but if I wanted another quiet week would definitely go back here.

A home away from home
This property was well equipped, clean, comfortable, warm and a pleasure to stay in. It is close to the pub and cafe and is a great starting point for walks around the area. It is very near to Wales’ smallest city - St David’s - which is a charming and historic place to visit and the village of Solva was very interesting too. All our day trips were enhanced by the beautiful scenery that surrounded us. We had a truly wonderful stay.

Really well equipped cottage, beautifully kitted out to high standard.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage has been tastefully renovated to a high standard and has been well thought out and equipped to cater for families including toddlers/babies. Trefyn is perfectly situated to make access to close by places of interest including St David’s, Silva, Porth Gain, the Blue Lagoon at Aberreiddy, the coast path and a number of beautiful beaches. I would highly recommend this cottage as a great place to stay for a family holiday.

Fantastic House...One of best holiday homes we have stayed in .. Gorgeous part of the world.
Fantastic house and didn’t want to leave. We spent a fortnight here and could have stayed even longer!! In fact my husband didn’t want to come home! This is a very well equipped property with everything you could possibly need. Kitchen is fabulous and wish I could take it home ! Heidi great at replying to emails with handy advice prior to holiday and her dad who lives next door was a star who gave us lots of advice re places to go to entertain the kids. With 2 teenage children not sure what to expect as never been to this part of the world before. But it was amazing. Scenery is gorgeous and such a lovely laid back pace of life. Coastal walks are wonderful and vary in length and difficulty so something for everyone. We preferred the quieter beach at Abereiddy next to blue laggoon and also the beach in between Porthgain and this beach ( very secluded but lots of steps down ) Porthgain is very picturesque and we enjoyed coffee and lunch there after our walks in the Sloop Inn. St David’s is not far by car and a lovely place to just chill and relax in. Cathedral Is definitely worth a visit. We went on the boat trip to Ramsay Island on our last day and it was the kids highlight ( fast speed boat!) Definitely will be returning. Thanks for a fabulous house Heidi .
