“Lovely cottage in a great location just a few minutes walk from the quayside and the coastal path.”
On the plus side, really nice layout being lovely and open upstairs, very comfortable and really really well equipped. The sunroom was a lovely place to relax. Our only downside was that it was just starting to feel a little bit tired - peeling paint in the bathroom, wobbly fixtures, standing in a puddle of water in the shower and the garden looking like it needed a bit of attention. I think maybe our expectations were a little bit higher given what we'd paid.

The property
Rock Cottage overlooks the beautiful fishing village of Lower Town, Fishguard.
The small harbour is famous for being the film location of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood starring Richard Burton.
At low tide you can walk all around the harbour discovering rock pools and a lovely sandy beach to the southwestern side, at high tide the harbour transforms in to one of the most picturesque settings on the north Pembrokeshire coast.
The cottage has been completely refurbished creating a stylish, and elegant holiday home.
The 'upside down living' space ensures guests get the full benefit of the views towards the harbour.
Rock Cottage is the perfect holiday base to explore Pembrokeshire - a short drive to the many beaches and coves dotted along the stunning coastline.
The shops, restaurants and pubs of Fishguard are within a half mile and St Davids, Porthgain, Solva, and Newport are all within easy reach.
