Very comfortable cottage with good facilities.
Very pleased with the cottage & its level of convenience & comfort.
We were made to feel very welcome.
We did find the surrounding area of Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion somewhat sparse in terms of access to sea & ‘tourist’ provision.
Access to & from Holmws Cottages can be somewhat tricky on a 60mph road near a hidden bend.

Lovely area
Beautiful area and we loved walking, especially on the coast paths. Laura and Andrew are very friendly and made us feel welcome. Overall, we were happy with the cottage - just a shame about the noisy plumbing which couldn't be fixed during our stay.

Motorcycle holiday
The property was great as a base for touring that part of Wales. Hosts friendly.
The only negative was the long gravel road to the property, not great for motorcycles but as long as you take care it's manageable.
Close to Fishguard and St David's.
Yes I would stay there again.

Lovely holiday
Friendly hosts. Cottage ideal, warm and cosy. Brilliant walks from doorstep. Only thing we were not keen on was pulling out of the drive onto fast road.

Perfect stay in South -Wales
We had a perfect stay near Newport, S-W., not only because of the wonderful aerea and weather but also because of our perfect hosts Laura and Andrew who were very friendly and we loved their amiable dogs as well.
