Ria's Cottage

Good facilities and beautifully kept

Steve and Linda were welcoming and friendly and always so helpful with local information.The cottage is beautiful, full of character and so cosy and warm on chilly autumn evenings. The dog walks were easy and had amazing views. A simply beautiful and unspoilt area of Pembrokeshire. Wonderful and I'd highly recommend it. Would definitely like to return to this wonderful cottage. Thank you Linda and Steve.

Fantastic little cottage in the middle of nowhere, but easy short drive to loads of great days out. Perfect peaceful location far from the maddening crowds. Owners are lovely, extremely helpful and friendly, could not recommended them enough!

We spent a happy week here. The cottage has everything you need and was nice and clean. We were very comfortable and didn't want to leave! It's in a lovely secluded spot, we particularly enjoyed watching the Woodpeckers on the feeder and our 2 boys were very excited when a bat flew in the upstairs window one night. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for our boys (aged 9 & 7). We did walks from the front door and got out and about to beaches, Carew Castle and Caldy Island. We can recommend the Tipi Dining at Wild Lakes not too far away which is dog friendly and has a great family menu. Thank you for a lovely cottage stay.

Beautiful cottage equipped with absolutely everything you need to make your holiday. We met the hosts and they were lovely and provided us with lots of information about the area. The cottage has plenty of parking and outside space. Right on the edge of a wood there are plenty of interesting walks. The cottage stands completely alone and is very peaceful, surrounded by wildlife. We were visited each day by woodpeckers and Jay.We cant wait to visit again.

Excellent

situation beautiful well decorated well equipped warm with heating A more comfortable chair in the lounge would have been appreciated for my aged bones But it was a magical place with the nature all around

The cottage is beautiful, in its own plot and surrounded by stunning scenery. Idyllic setting, pretty garden and roses round the door - it felt like the perfect choice upon arrival. Quiet and private, with a good distance from next property (owners house). Does have a public right of way past the door but we werent aware of walkers passing.Comfortable enough and offered the basics needed. Clean, nipping in fact - nicely decorated. Dog friendly to the extent it allows dogs - typically not on furniture and beds - which is fair. In fact, you really could not find evidence that dogs had stayed there.Very pretty and could have been perfect...but wasnt. 1.The mattresses are the worst weve experienced. The double bed was a slatted frame, with a thin well loved mattress. Good roll-together Action, and kneel on the bed and your knees can feel the wooden bed frame! Springs visible. Not good enough - spending so much for a sleepless week! My husband never suffers with aches and pains but complained of back ache within a couple of nights. I couldnt offer sympathy due to my insomnia! The bed upstairs was complete opposite and very hard. Our daughter struggled saying it was like sleeping on the floor.2. A 5l bin for the kitchen! Seriously? It was a bind having to empty the little bin every day and makes no sense at all. We were eating in the cottage daily, so waste was generated, but it isnt convenient to take trash to the outdoor bins every day.3. This was my gripe - the towels (1x hand and 1x small bath per person) were old and stiff. GREAT for exfoliating! Would have been helpful to have bath mats or additional towels. My husband went out and bought towels - 3 x bath sheets, 3 x hand towels and bath mat, as I couldnt use the ones left. Wish Id known as we would have brought our own and saved the added expense of £72 on something we have lots of in the towel cupboard at home. 4. I stayed in the cottage two days (trying to catch up on sleep!) whilst my husband and daughter went swimming. The owner repaired steps next to the cottage and tethered his dog in the garden (main gated garden). Our young dog was very upset - barking hysterically. Listening to barking for 40 mins whilst this went on was simply torture! Wouldnt be a problem for people with dog that doesnt get anxious and upset when people or dog come into their garden/ space - but ours goes ape! I know Ive detailed minor issues but at the time they were huge - and not what Id expect when you pay so much for a luxury, tranquil cottage These are simple fixes - a little foresight and its be a 5 star experience.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped and in a beautifully remote position. A pleasure to sit outside in the evenings and just enjoy the colours and sounds. Lots of interesting birds on the feeder. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Walks books and maps were very useful.We had a mobile and a smartphone and reception was far better than anticipated both indoors and out, Only niggle was the TV screen was too small for the size room. Cottage well placed for exploring the eastern side of the Cleddau and the coast round Tenby and Saundersfoot.

Good

In a fabulous place. Loads of wildlife to observe. Wonderful cottage, clean and comfortable. The weather was scorching but the thick walls kept the rooms cool. Highly recommended.

Matched the description, one of the quietest locations we have been to. The cottage was very clean, well laid out and private. The only thing missing was a lawned area, dog owners generally may wish to be made aware of this before booking. Our thanks too to Linda and Steve for their warm welcome and help with the wounded woodpecker.

Fabulous location, little gem of a cottage.
