Why you love Carn Llidi Cottage
Lovely cottage & great walks and beautiful beach! Go for a swim even if the water seems cold!
Stockdale
It is seal week in Pembrokeshire. We've seen big bull seals guarding the bay, helpless pups calling from the beach where they lie waiting for food and the odd massive blubbery mother frolicking off the shore keeping careful watch over their babies. Awesome week walking the path. Great Central location - nice base. Great week with friends.
Mentor & Mackenzie
Thank you Iris & Jimmey. We had a lovely week despite the rain. The cottage was comfortable for all of us and in a great location. We hope to return.
The Quick Family
A beautiful place in a beautiful country. We enjoyed a wonderful week in a great cottage wishing to stay longer! It was our first but not our last visit in Wales! Thanks!
Wellbrock Duwel
We loved it here - our second time of coming. The place is beautiful and the landscape is perfect; looking out of that front window is amazing! Thanks!
Summers & Skeldings
Lovely cottage. Excellent facilities. Wonderful walks in both directions from Whitesands. Look out for orchids around the carn. Thank you.
Martin
If we had a top ten list of things we wanted in a holiday cottage, Carn Llidi would be it! A fabulous cottage, great location, great people, and for Sian, magic animals too. Thank you so much we had the best time here! P.S. "if you're not careful we'll be back soon with the in-laws" - they'd love it too! Thank you!!!
