Clean cosy cottage, very comfortable bed, all amenities that we required. Full of character that reminded us of our childhoods. Good electric shower. Although some appliances old, they all worked perfectly. The host was very friendly and helpful. Secure garden for dogs.

Great location and fabulous price which reflexe the 'old fashioned' nature of the property. If yoyve got mobility problems... note the 'hike' to the bathroom via lots of steps at night. Garden fabulous!! Pub and buses and small bay in the village!! Note the electricity charge at the end of your stay. Not a problem but be aware.Overall, we would definitely stay again.

Great location, Friendly host.
This is an old cottage where the décor, although clearly renewed recently, has been kept as if it was the 1950s reminding us of holidays at Grandmas! But it has the addition of all mod cons you might expect - power shower, microwave, satellite TV and internet etc. The Kitchen/diner is separated from the washing up and laundry areas, although all are connected and easy to use. Good size for both double and single bedroom and plenty of storage space. Checking in was easy although the instructions for how things work would benefit from being collected into one folder. You need to know that electricity is extra as the rental charge is modest. We enjoyed the garden area and the ease of connection to the local area. A couple of small glitches were both fixed the same day by the host. We can understand why, reading the visitors book, so many folk clearly return again.

Fabulous accommodation
We enjoyed a peaceful and restful stay at Adrian's cottage which is suitably situated for coastal walking and not far from St David's for sight-seeing. Adrian is a very helpful host who responds quickly to any queries. The cottage suited our needs and is good value for money. We enjoyed the access to the garden too.

Fantastic place to stay!
The cottage and the village of Trefin is like going back in time. Perfect spot for walking the coastal path to find secret beaches where you can have the beach to yourselves. A truly beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. The cottage is lovely and comfortable and has everything you need for a perfect holiday. The owner Adrian is the perfect host and we cannot wait to return.

Easter Weekend Break
The cottage was clean and as described being warm & cosy. The location of the cottage in Trefin is great for exploring the Pembrokeshire Coast. We enjoyed some really lovely coastal walks with our dog and everywhere we went was both human & dog friendly. This was short break, so we have more to see and do there. We would book again.

Ok but not ideally for children
I had arrived following address been given Google maps took me to correct address I believe, but wrong house as all these houses have names not numbers will never be sure , got in to property fine had read ov house rules they allow dogs but not up stairs to stop dogs getting up stairs u have to put a baby gate in but baby gate don't fit an don't swing open so have to climb over to access stairs which I felt was very dangerous with small children also so not family suitable , dogs also so not allowed to go in back garden as there not allowed to use it as a toilet which is fine so we didn't use the garden any way at this point felt you just shouldn't allow dogs be easier an I would ov stayed somewhere else.
Internet was slow don't reach up stairs so was hard to plan days out with no Internet
Used site once before an we got a welcome pack like milk bread eggs tea coffee to start us off we didn't get anything an after 7hrs drive I wasn't in the best ov moods to drive any time soon but went shopping.
Next rule is after your stay you fill in the electrical meter for your stay an pay the electricity bill that u have used I feel like this should be all ready included an it wasn't in description an I was annoyed about learning ov this cost ov stay should ov covered with cost ov stay
The area is quiet an there is a lovely pub down road lots ov nice costal walks an bigger places to go with in 20min but mainly it's a walking holiday, lot ov beaches near by or rock beaches

Old house with little garden on a little remote location (1 pub/restaurant and 1 gallery/store, no supermarket and walking distance).

Sweet cottage - well-priced & perfectly located
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage - whilst it is a little dated, you get what you pay for. It is comfortable, has everything you need for self-catering, and a lovely little private garden too. Would recommend Adrian adds some details to his listing, such as the requirement for dogs to remain downstairs. This was not an issue for us, but would have been great to know this in advance. Otherwise Adrian is an excellent host, and was very helpful. Would recommend!

Basic cottage but comfortable. Was surprised to find on arrival that electricity used was to be paid at the end of the week. Had to keep the heating on as the cottage is damp. Signs of damp that had been painted over. Once mentioned to the owner he refunded the electric cost.

A relaxing week away
We stayed in the cottage with our dog for a week in September. Adrian, (who lives next door), greeted us on our arrival but respected our privacy during our stay, adding that we can knock if we needed anything.
It is an ideal location for reaching the A487, where you can easily access many of the local beauty spots in either direction.
Trefin is a lovely little village with a nice pub serving good meals. Thursday night open mic night is well worth visiting, many talented musicians and singers.
The cottage has everything you'll need for a comfortable week, lots of information leaflets in the drawers but Adrian can also advise if stuck. Lovely garden to sit in if the weather's nice. Reading the electric meter, working out what you've used and what you owe is well recorded and easy to do, just leave the money on the table. We used less than £10 for the whole week, as we were out most days and ate our evening meal out a fair bit. We only needed the electric fire on a couple of evenings but there are also plenty of electric radiators in each room, if needed.
Someone had written in the visitor's book that, 'the cottage and village grow on you' and we certainly found this to be the case. We hope to return again, despite the long drive for us. Thank you Adrian.
