Bwthyn Alarch

A pretty traditional cottage, with nice touches, like woven blankets and cushion cases added to the traditional feel.

The beds and sofas were a little hard for our taste, but we slept well. We loved the hot tub. Whilst in a fairly remote village, there were plenty of places nearby and a little further away to visit. The Shed at Porthgwain does amazing food - we got food there twice, and also visited St David's, Solva and went further afield to Cardigan. The cafe at the nearby Melin Tregwynt does amazing breakfasts and we went to the Tesco at Haverfordwest for food shopping. Our teenage son loved the Go-karting at West Wales Karting. We "watched" the eclipse at the village pub, which was welcoming. We had a lovely week in a beautiful part of the world.

Cottage was fabulous everything you need was there like going from home to home hot tub was nice to relax in welsh cakes tea coffee and milk nice bonus to get started

Beautiful property,shame no tea towels.

..I forgot to bring some,may need earplugs for front master bedroom as you can hear road noise,maybe a blind in front bedroom for privacy during the day,curtains can be shut at night,hot tub was amazing,very spacious accomodation,nice having milk and Welsh cakes left for us on arrival,couldn't sort rubbish as didn't know where to recycle it,couldn't find laundry bags either,but I would give it a solid 8 out of 10,local pub was lovely too,ideally situated for walks on the Pembrokeshire coast path,it was so homely,will definitely return.

We had an awesome Christmas at the cottage.

Christmas tree and Prosecco were a lovely surprise. Cottage is surprisingly large and hot tub looking at the stars was perfect on Christmas day. We loved all the walks and highly recommend.

We much enjoyed our stay at B.

A. It is a beautifully maintained cosy cottage, with all the facilities necessary for a trouble-free holiday. Great walk-in, lovely hot shower. The large hot-tub was especially welcome and used each day throughout our one week stay in a cold December. The location of the cottage is perfect-,just 5 minute stroll to the Pembs coastal path and the same to the village pub. We can heartily recommend this cottage.

Lovely, cosy cottage in a greatblication, only half a mile from a rocky cove and within easy striking distance of several towns etc.

The lounge is large but can be very cosy with the right lighting configuration. The CD player gave great, punch, sound. Bed was firm and comfortable. Hot tub was amazing, even in the peristentky foul weather we had all week. Couldn’t really fault it in any way and we’ll probably go again. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful cottage !

Every facility provided for ! The 4 poster bed was so comfortable ! Kitchen very spacious with everything we could possibly need and very spacious, comfortable and cosy lounge area. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub thank you ! We would happily recommend a stay at Bwthyn Alarch *****

The property was lovely, and homely.

A good location and an amazing view of the stars at night, with a lighthouse light going round. The four poster bed was something else. The sea on your doorstep was an added bonus

Really spacious cottage and the jacuzzi was a real treat after long walks each day.

We wanted peace and tranquility and it certainly delivered, we really didn’t want to leave.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage.

It was very clean and fully equiped. Hot tub was great. We highly recommend to everyone. Lovely location. 5-8mins walks to coast.

We enjoyed our stay -- the cottage was clean, spacious and well maintained, kitchen had adequate items etc The only problem was the heating system-- It seems it is controlled by the owners and not easy to understand (not seen anything like it in all the Sykes cottages we have stayed in) Normally it is on the wall and you just adjust it accordingly like most households but not in this cottage!

! I understand some guests might take advantage and have the heating on unnecessary but we just wanted it on a few hours especially as it went cold at nigh(we were out all day anyway) We had to go and buy wood for the wood burner for heat at night time which was more expense after paying nearly a thousand pounds to stay for the week :( We didn't realise until the last day that the owners live opposite the cottage or we might have gone across and asked them to explain the complicated heating system to us ! We did correspond by email a few times re; the heating and afterwards the radiators miraculously came on for a short time but not consistent. We had no way to dry all the wet towels which we used for showers, the beach and the hot tub, which was annoying. We enjoyed the hot tub and used it most days! The village is very quiet and quite a distance from everything and nothing there apart from a pub which served nice meals. We did enjoy our holiday -- the weather was lovely but I don't think we will be back.

A lovely clean, spacious and well equipped cottage in a very quiet village close to fantastic coastal walks (so many seals!

). Everything we needed was available and the milk and Welsh cakes were a nice touch. We didn't actually get to meet the owners but they were easily contactable by email. The local pub does nice food. Highly recommended

This is a delightful cottage, deceptively larger than the pictures portray.

The cottage is well kept and has everything you need for a short stay - a real home from home! The welcome basket and the information folder were very thoughtful (and useful) touches. The village of Treffin is picturesque and we had a wonderful stay visiting the local area. The hidden bay at the bottom of the hill (5 minutes walk) was a gem. The village pub was great, exceptionally friendly and the food was amazing. All in all, this was a great value for money holiday and I would highly recommend to couples and families alike.

Schönes, geräumiges altes Cottage.

Ruhige Lage und ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man für seinen Aufenthalt braucht. Nach Wanderungen steht zur Erholung ein Whirlpool zur Verfügung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Vermieter haben stets nachgefragt, ob wir etwas benötigen oder vermissen. Ein gelungener Aufenthalt in Wales. Simone und Maik

Perfect cottage , so clean and with everything you could need .

Added bonus of the hot tub . We had a fantastic holiday . The surrounding coastline is beautiful. Nearby Porthgain is a must and can be walked along the coast path in 50 minutes. Thanks again for a wonderful stay . We will definitely be back

There was a powerful bad small from the bathroom drain which the owners partly covered up with cleaning products.

It worsened as the week progressed and we felt nauseous every time we used the bathroom. We washed and cleaned our teeth in the kitchen and showered with the outside and bathroom doors open. My wife slept in the room adjoining it and became more nauseous, with loss of appetite and a cough, as the week progressed. It was a lovely property but let down badly by the drain.

A beautifully presented cottage with all the amenities you would ever need for your holiday.

So much character and history, yet with the modern day touches that you need. The cottage is located in a Beautiful part of Pembrokeshire with the beach and rock pools a short walk away. Lots of fabulous walking available on your doorstep. On those rainy days there are castles, gardens, cathedrals, palaces and adventure parks a short drive away. Highly recommended.

The cottage itself is an amazing property, however the stay was overshadowed by the lack of basic amenities.

1 toilet roll for 3 adults for the weekend is just stingy. No toiletries, no tea towels or kitchen roll. You can't advertise the cottage with a cosy fire if you're not going to provide the wood and kindling for people to actually use it. Also your guests who have paid £225 per night to have stripped all the beds and put various linens in various bags, put rubbish in various bags in various bins and have cleaned the dishes and put them away all before an early 10am check out is not right. Overall for £225 per night.... I'd expect a hell of a lot more.

Lovely cottage with everything you need (apart from fire logs).

Way bigger than it looks on the website and was very cosy with comfy beds. The hot tub is amazing and we were in it every day. A little tip if staying here, DON'T buy logs from the Gulf petrol station up the road (Square and Compass). They are kept outside so if its wet then they are useless. Instead drive 8 miles to the Letterston Village Stores where you can get a big bag of logs and big bag of kindling wood for £10 which are kept in the dry. The pub (The Ship Inn) is the only one in the village and is superb!

Excellent cottage and nice to stay in a cottage where everything works

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the red cottage.

The hot tub was fantastic! We loved watching the stars from the tub at night, it was beautiful. Only a short walk to the friendly Ship Inn and the beautiful Aberfelin beach where we saw stunning sunsets. We would love to visit again. The owners of the red cottage looked after us amazingly when we needed anything, we would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely quaint cottage.

An absolutely beautiful cottage, well maintained and clean.

My boys and I had a lovely time at the cottage, which was well located near the coast. The cottage is extremely comfortable, cosy and is very big. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the host. Highly recommended, will most definitely visit again. We miss the beautiful views!

The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable and the owner was helpful putting things right as necessary.

What let the cottage down was the basics not being available. No hand wash in the kitchen, the tiniest amount of washing up liquid, not one dishwasher tablet, no fire starter pack, one solitary toilet roll, the smallest welcome pack we have ever experienced, 2 tea bags, 2 instant coffee sachets, pint milk - welsh cakes were appreciated though, no spare bin bags, resolved, no hot tub towels, resolved, no washing line or clothes maiden, resolved. We don't expect all inclusive and we bring provisions it did feel that the basics were skimped on. The lack of a visitors book was a real shame, as they can be so helpful with previous visitors recommendations. There is an information pack however it is out of date. We went to a market detailed in there to find is ceased trading a year ago and the farm shop has very little there not worth the drive. Some of the places recommended are a long way from the cottage. As previous visitors have mentioned, the bathroom can become smelly at times, the lack of net curtains in the bedroom creates a lack of privacy. The hot tub recommended temperature of 34 degrees creates a luke warm tub and is nowhere near hot enough. We have rented several properties with hot tubs and have never encountered this. It should be declared on the listing, I would not book a cottage that insisted on this. Again, this felt like a cost cutting exercise. Overall, an absolutely lovely property and the owner was helpful. We had a lovely time staying there, just needs a bit more attention to visitors' needs.

Lovely cottage, great base for exploring beautiful Pembrokeshire Quiet little village, Ship Inn less than 5 minute walk, great food and service

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage it was much larger than we thought it would be.

Warm welcome from owner. Comfortable 4 poaster bed in main bedroom. Didnt need to use the twin room .The kitchen had full facilies as expected and everything was in good condition. Bathroom had large walk in waterful shower. Lounge diner comfortable and cosy. Good broadband , but tv difficult to navigate . Good off road parking on premises. Hot tub in nice private location . Good location for walking the coastal path. Local pub The Ship served local tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere all , staff very friendly . The Saturday night we were there there was a very entertaining band , great fun. We used Morrisons in Haverfordwest which was 35 mins by car. Thank you for a lovely holiday

We had a lovely stay, with everything we needed.

The only thing I would say is that it might be beneficial to somehow have the skylight open in the bathroom (without letting in rain when it's open) apart from that very nice and quiet.

Really enjoyed our stay here.

Great property in great location. Just what we needed.

We loved our stay, just a shame we were only there for 2 nights

This cottage is well located for all of the tourist attractions whether you have an activity-based or sightseeing holiday.

The cottage itself is clean, tidy and the hot tub is a great addition! The village of Trefin is quiet with the local pub a few minutes walk away (which we frequented most nights) serving good food with vegetarian options. The owners are very communicative, easy to deal with and responsive if you need to contact them, as I did about my forgotten Kindle. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Fantastic cottage, large yet comfy, with great off-street parking.

The lounge is comfy with a wood burner and a decent TV with smart box & really good internet connection. The kitchen is large and has everything you will need to self-cater. The weather was atrocious for a few days when we visited, so we enjoyed just chilling out in the cottage between storms. Trefin is a small but really nice village, ideally located for Fishguard, Newport beach and St David. There is a local pub a very short walk away, as is the coast path. Will defiantly visit again, hopefully the weather will allow us to walk the coast path more next time.

We found the cottage overall pleasant and comfortable, but the loo/shower room has no openable window and no extractor fan which can be unpleasant!

- we raised this with owner who will address this. Also net curtains in the main bedroom which gives straight onto the street would be a good idea. We found the heating system unfathomable (no instructions at all) but an excellent woodburner!

A beautiful and well equipped cottage in a perfect location for exploring the local area, we had such an a amazing holiday and the additional information supplied by the owners about the area helped us plan and make the most of our stay, we will be recommending to others and hope to book again next year

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.

We had a brilliant long weekend stay and would be happy to return if staying in Pembrokeshire again.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Nice cottage in quiet location very clean and inviting would recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful comfy cottage, ideal base for walking the coastal path.

Excellent facilities especially the hot tub.

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.
