      Two main things firstly  Although we were told prior to our stay that one of the mattresses was broken we couldn't tell which one as all the singles were equally uncomfortable and we had to buy a mattress topper on the second day so our son could actually get to sleep The rear lounge that leads straight from the garden being carpeted was a real inconvenience, being pet friendly and in Winter meaning wet, muddy foot prints got instantly trailed through on the carpet, luckily I noticed immediately and put down all my spares towels and blankets I had brought from home other wise the carpet would have been ruined. Maybe consider this being hard floored.  Although the decor is old and outdated that didn't really bother me and offers somewhat charm however a more homely feel would have really lifted the place with some plants, ornaments, curtains, blankets and finishing touches.  We were made aware no welcome pack due to supplier issues which was a bit disappointing as I'm sure a basic pack could have been made up from the local shops.  As in the description the drive is steep but the road is quiet enough to be able to access easily from either way and didn't cause us any problems.  A major one that maybe I should have raised at the time but didn't as nothing that could have been done, However one of the days the window cleaners turned up and went through the back gate leaving it open luckily I noticed before my dog did as the patio door was also open . Although he is friendly and knows his boundaries, they might want to make sure they check before entering a garden of a dog friendly cottage as other dogs might not be so welcoming.  All in all like said at that start it's a lovely place and would recommend however with a bit of care and adapting it could be a 5 star place without a doubt.

    Thank you for your kind comments about the fact you would recommend the property to others, and your constructive comments. New single mattresses were ordered for the start of the new season but were not available until your stay. I could not expect guests to stay in awaiting their arrival. They have now been delivered. With regard to the rear lounge being carpeted and wet muddy dogs entering from the rear garden through the patio doors owners often take their dogs into the house through the back door and clean and dry them on the tiled area before allowing them into the rear lounge which is next to the back door. With regard to the window cleaners your very valid point will be brought to their attention. Thank you again for your recommendation and constructive comments. You will be most welcome to return again in the future. Lewis Property Owner

Opening up the patio doors from the first living room takes you to the tremendous lawned garden with furniture to the rear of the house, if you have somehow done the impossible task of trying everything there is to try in Haverfordwest, then this garden is ideal for a family afternoon in the sun.

With the centre of Haverfordwest being just under a mile away, this is where all your essentials lie; from gifts shops, pubs and restaurants to more adventurous things such as the castle and museum.

If you manage to get out of Haverfordwest, there are plenty of options for activities in the surrounding area.

Pembrokeshire as a whole is plastered with natural beauty, castles and beaches, making it one of the top Welsh holiday destinations.
