“This is a wonderful little cottage in the well located village for exploring Pembrokeshire.”

We walked so much of the coast line, relaxed in the hot tub, saw so much wildlife and just had the best time. A great place for really getting away from it all. There's a small pub in the village that now does basic meals (pizza and a meat/veggie other meal as a special each day) and Porthgain is a really lovely 40 minute walk down the coast for food/drink too. Can't recommend it enough.

“This was our second stay at Bwthyn Alarch and we’d definitely be keen to return again in the future.”

Fantastic location, had everything we needed and owners have clearly invested in making improvements to the property with new sofas and shower this year and the kitchen equipment was also improved. It had all that we needed to have a perfect holiday in Pembrokeshire.

- Siwan, April 2022

We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage agin this year. Thank you very much for providing us with such positive feed back regarding the refurbishment. Property Owner

“Nice . Could do with cleaning products to clean at the end of stay !”

Only used hot tub once it had no chemicals and was quiet scummy bit disappointed. People & area lovely

“Ideally located to explore the coast.”

Warm and cosy. Hot tub would be better described as a 'warm' tub - temperature fixed to 36 degrees, temperature control made inoperable by the owner.

“Access to the coastal path was nearby.”

Trefelin in easy reach of main towns. Cottage had everything you could possible need for a cracking good holiday!

“The cottage is in a lovely little spot right by the the pembrokeshire coast.”

Trefin is a gorgeous quiet village but with a pub and a cafe and a shop a close drive away it has everything you need. Our hosts were great and available at the drop of a hat for anything we needed.

“When we first entered the property it looked welcoming, however the cleaning of the light switches, table tops, cutlery, plates, bathroom, windows showed a lack of cleaning.”

I cleaned the areas we would use. Also, there are many dead spiders in the webs- previously mentioned in comments book; finger marks and general greasiness on furniture- which shows no cleaning especially in covid times. Therefore we won't be using the hot-tub as we are unsure if it safe to do so. Cottage is very tired, needing work done, and we are not comfortable staying here.

“What really let this cottage down was the hot tub, it really was only a lukewarm tub, the temperature was set at 34 degrees, with the weather being unseasonal during our stay once the lid was off the temperature In the tub wasn’t anything near ‘hot’.”

The owners had covered the settings and the only buttons you could press were for bubbles and lights! Also the heating was on timer with notices not allowing you to touch the boiler, during the day with the stone flooring and no sunlight in the kitchen and master bedroom it was very chilly. The kitchen was very well equipped and shower very hot. Good location for coastal walks.

Corinne April 2021

“We arrived after a 6 hour journey to find there was no welcome pack , and no directions to the nearest shop obviously displayed in the kitchen.”

So no cup of tea before we had to go out. The duvet covers were thin, old and lumpy( I was was wishing I had brought my own. ) The heating was on timed , even though day time temperatures didn’t get much above 10 degrees. When I rang up the person was very helpful,and said he would change it, but this not what you want to have to sort when away. The cottage was well equipped and very clean. It would not take much to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

The cottage exceeded our expectations, the parking is great the photos do not do this cottage justice, parking is easy, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was clean and ready to use, the cottage is located perfectly for walks along the coastal path it took us only 10 mins to reach the path, would highly recommend

“The cottage was great.”

We had a great time and found the whole experience of renting the cottage easy and very comfortable. The communication with the owners was brilliant and made us feel relaxed about staying in the cottage. It was a great place to explore the west coast of Wales from and can recommend it to anyone looking to stay there.

“The cottage was the perrfect base for our holiday and the hot tub was wonderful after a days walking the coastal path.”

The property

Just a short drive from St Davids, Britain's smallest city and less than 5 minutes' walk from the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast Path, this picture perfect stone cottage has its own private hot tub to relax in at the end of the day.

It's just right for a couple or a small family wishing to explore this area.

The friendly local The Ship Inn serves pub meals and the Mill Cafe makes delicious breakfasts, teas and Sunday lunches - both are just a few minutes walk from the cottage.

Nearby is Porthgain, Abereiddy, the Blue Lagoon, Traethllyfn (National Trust beach), St Davids and Whitesands beach.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path scenery is spectacular and the coastal bus passes by the cottage and gives the chance to walk a different section of the path each day.

The offshore bird islands of Ramsey, Skomer and Skokholm are well worth a visit.

Nearby Whitesands Bay is one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, and walkers will delight in the spectacular views from the coastal path which runs around the complete coastline of Pembrokeshire.
