Llysgennydd (Kenneths Court) was the perfect getaway for our group.The house was immaculate when we arrived and it was clear lots of care and effort had been put in to make this house welcoming and safe during this period of the pandemic.All bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is a great family space with everything you could need. The living areas were cosy and charming. The house is full of character!The WiFi in the house also worked perfectly. We were able to steam live sport and Netflix in the evenings with no problem at all.The garden was spacious and pet friendly. It was a lovely space to relax in the evening sun.There is ample parking and secure gates that could be closed to protect children or pets from the road.Overall we had a lovely stay and would certainly return.
Nice property but a few shortcomings. On busy main road, not really safe for a dog, nternet broke and slow to be fixed.

We are sorry to hear that you had problems, our website does state that the property is 'Set back from the Fishguard to St Davids road' and we never state that a garden is safe for dogs as they can escape from anywhere. Apologies for the wifi problems we will contact the owner regarding this matter.
Weather rather dull and a bit wet so sorry no photos. the accommodation was well presented and spacious.

Thank you for your review, so pleased that you enjoyed your stay despite the weather.
Llysgennyd is a well-maintained, spacious and well-equipped house. It is comfortably and attractively furnished and feels light and airy. There is ample parking space and a large, private, lawned garden. The footpaths nearby lead onto interesting walks eg over the Dowrog Common etc. It's a short drive into St Davids from there or to Whitesands Bay.
We found Kenneths Court a warm cottage and in a very pleasant location. Only 1 mile from St Davids. However, it required a little TLC for us. Maybe some re-decoration in most of the rooms. We found the bedrooms very comfortable but the lounge furniture was very saggy and uncomfortable. It also would benefit from a larger TV and maybe a TV and DVD in the larger lounge. The Wi-Fi doesn't work at all. So only 3 stars I'm afraid.

Thanks for a lovely stay. Cottage is amazing & so comfortable. Whitesands is an outstanding beach & St Davids beautiful. Bye for now 'Dwlch yn Fawr'
A fabulous cottage in a great location. Had absolutely everything you need. A great week, thank you!!!
We loved this house! Such a warm (literally) and lovely feeling about it. St Davids and the coast are amazing - we are all converts. Whitesands is amazing & so convenient. Like others we loved The Shed & The Sloop & The Cwtch. Also Geovanis Ice-cream at The Bench on the High Street. Bishop's pub good for bar food. Boat rides with Voyages of Discovery FANTASTIC saw dolphins, caught mackerel as well. Thank you
Amazing weather all week. Walked on Newgale, Newport & Whitesands beaches. Visited lots of small harbours and found a good pottery 1 mile from here. Also woollen mills etc. Lots of photography and painting.
What a lovely week we have had in such an interesting house. Great experience for our kids who called it their princess castle. So much space, well equipped, comfortable house, lovely log fires. Maggie was very helpful.
