Carreg Ddu

We loved our 6 night stay at Carreg Ddu sorry we couldn’t stay longer.

Great location for walking into lower Solva to the harbour which was beautiful with lovely pubs/places to eat. Great location for getting further afield for lovely coastal walks. The weather was a bonus but think we’d enjoy any time of the year. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely accommodation in a perfect location for a stroll into Solva and exploring the surrounding area.

Fantastic views from the garden too.

Lovely cottage with a wonderful view from the back garden.

Comfortable, well equipped, and in a good location for the pubs in Solva.

A delightful place with lovely accommodation .

Very clean with all the mod cons . It’s hilly in the area so a car is essential . Beautiful walks . The scenery from our accommodation was beautiful.

Excellent.

Absolutely every need had been considered by the host. Spotless, fresh, private and nice arrival gifts for us. Fantastic property, lovely garden area secure for my 2 small dogs despite them investigating the perimeter. If I had to be picky in some way, just a hint for older or disabled guests. I travelled with 2 elderly parents and although it was technically a short walk to the village I had to drive them as it was so steep. No fault of owners just a geographical observation. A lovely stay for all exploring the area and beautiful beaches. Thoroughly recommended.

Great location - within walking distance of lower Solva & short drive to St David’s.

Clean well-equipped property with great garden. One double bed with double bed settee downstairs & chair bed & pull- out single bed.

Lovely cottage, everything you need was catered for.

Ideally situated in an amazing area.

Excellent property in terms of location.

Very clean, tidy and modern with everything you need to have.A great holiday. The coastal path is 5 minutes walk away where you can go in either direction to Newgale or to Saint David's. Eating out is five minutes walk away with an excellent pub called the Hats and Barrels. I would highly recommend this property and its location. David Hart

Perfectly placed accommodation to see Solva & the surrounding area.

Home from home.

In over 6 years of using Sykes, Careg Ddu is the nicest holiday cottage I have ever stayed in.

The kitchen is lovely with great views over the fields and coast. The lounge is lovely and light and has a lovely feel to it. Great location for the coastal walks and plenty of parking. The Garden out the back is incredible. I cannot wait to go back to Careg Ddu again.

A very well appointed accommodation - had everything we needed - spacious lounge and kitchen and secure garden for the dogs to run in.

Great location to access the Coastal Path and the harbour ( as long as you can cope with the uphill walk on the return!) - which we did nearly every day. Solva is a really lovely spot to stay and provides easy access to St David’s and other Pembrokeshire highlights.

Carreg Ddu was an absolutely beautiful place to stay, it was warm and cosy, I loved cooking in the well equipped kitchen.

The bed was so comfy and I loved the views. The location was perfect for hiking the coastal paths, and a short walk into Solva and if your keen.a beautiful walk into St Davids.

One of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in.

The house is very well appointed with everything we needed. The views are lovely and the garden ideal for us and our dog. A great place to stay in a beatiful location.

Plenty of space, very well equipped, excellent location, ideal enclosed garden for dogs, easy and ample parking, accessible.

The only issue was no hot water when we arrived until 7.00 pm the following day. Contacted agent twice, engineer came late on the Saturday. Nobody phoned to check if we were OK bearing in mind we are in our mid seventies. We have booked again for next year assuming the issue with the boiler will have been addressed. This was disappointing as everything else was excellent

The accommodation was very clean and we had everything we needed.

Very well equipped. The tap in the kitchen was dripping slightly so may need looking at. Only minor. The only thing we feel may improve the property is to have a kingsize bed instead of a double. The one there was quite squeaky when moving around. It's a great property and well located in Solva with sea views. We met the owners who were really lovely. Thanks for a great stay.

We absolutely loved staying here, it's location for visiting Solva and access to the coastal path is fantastic.

We had such a good time visiting the area. The house was warm, comfortable well equipped. The garden, even though it's not joined on wasn't an issue at all and was well used by our dogs. The only things that are worth noting are the lack of garden furniture, the bench is great but really hard to sit on, and the kitchen cupboards are too full of stuff that's really not needed, we counted 7 chopping boards, and it meant we had nowhere to store any food that didn't require a fridge. Also the coffee maker needed descaling and we couldn't use but it wasn't an issue. Very minor things and we had such a good time, local pubs and cafes were brilliant and the walk to St David's and newgale were stunning. Your house was a great place to stay.

This is a superb place to stay with stunning views from the lovely garden The house is beautiful and spacious (please ignore any previous reviews about it having low ceilings- we have some tall members in our family and everyone was fine).

The house is fully equipped, spotlessly clean with wonderful views from the windows. Solva itself is a perfect location with easy access to coastal walks, We have all had an amazing stay at this beautiful place- thank you so much!

Great property in a great location.

Comfortable, clean and all the things you need on your holiday provided. We can't wait to go back!!

It should be made clearer that for an adult (I am 177cm tall) it is almost impossible to stand upright on the upper floor.

The "double"-bed is very small: ca. 1.8m x 1.4m. We were told by the owner's mother that this is normal in GB, but for continental people it is a negative surprise.

This property is excellent, well furnished, maintained to a high degree.

It is equipped with everything possible. Not sure if someone very tall would survive the low ceiling in the bedroom and bathroom, I'm only 5'5" and I hit my head on several occasions but maybe I'm just a slow learner. In any event we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and compliments must go to the owner and staff who make this cottage so attractive. Many thanks for a great holiday. Geoff and Janice

We agree with all the previous good remarks about Careg Ddu.

It is ideally situated for visiting places along the coast as far as Newport. We also liked Tenby and Narbeth. Most mornings we enjoyed a long walk on Newgale beach with our dog before exploring favourite areas. We intend to return to Carreg Ddu because it is in a quiet location with a large garden up a few steps with excellent views. The neighbours are very friendly. Mike and Helen and spaniel Cassie.

Great property in an ideal location for us!

Brilliant Cottage with great views and all the equipment you could ask for.

Lovely cottage with all the equipment you could need.

It was plenty spacious for 2 people but you would really struggle with any more as the bathroom is only accessible through the study. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs once you were in it, but should be made clearer on the details that the dogs need to be on a lead and walked to the garden as it’s down a little alley way so you couldn’t just let them out of the door as we expected. Over all, we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

This is a lovely little holiday cottage just a ten minute walk from the harbour, restaurants and cafés.

There is a village shop just a five minute walk from the property. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The shower is powerful. The kitchen is equipped with almost every gadget you could wish for, even a rolling pin, pie tin, avocado slicer, meat thermometer and knife sharpener. However, we couldn't find a tin-opener! The cottage is dog-friendly which was great and there is a private, enclosed garden for them with lovely views. The only downside and the reason for 4 stars not 5 is that you can only access the garden via the shared parking area and not directly from the house itself. The welcome pack at the property also states that dogs are not allowed upstairs or on the soft furnishings (not mentioned in the listing on Sykes). This wasn't a big deal as we had brought the dogs' crates with us but would have been difficult to manage if we didn't have a place to secure them away during the night. The Welsh cakes and pint of milk on arrival were much appreciated.

Lovely cottage - well equipped, very comfortable - we would stay there again

As already discussed with the owner who has taken our comments on board, our only disappointment was that the lovely enclosed garden could only be accessed from the shared parking area at the side of the house which meant we couldn't just let our dog out or really leave him to play outside - he loves lying on cold slabs or grass in the cold weather given his thick fur coat!

Nice Cottage in a pleasant position which was well appointed, clean and tidy.

Enclosed rear garden with great views was a bonus with the dogs. Good to have an entrance utility room for incoming dogs. At 6'4" I struggled a bit with roof height upstairs but comfy bed and good shower.
