All our reviews are independently handled via Feefo, that means each review is a 100% verified customer visiting Porthclais Farmhouse.
We were really anticipating a good experience when we booked Porthclais Farmhouse (Rhos y Cribed) and indeed, our hopes were realised when we arrived at the end of November for our annual Advent weekend in West Wales. The house is simply magnificent, with 5 excellent bedrooms all with the most comfortable beds you could wish for and bedding of high quality. The lounge was spacious and suitable for the 10 of us to socialise and watch "Strictly". The huge dining table meant that there was a lot of space to eat without bumping elbows! Preparing food in the well appointed kitchen was easy and there was plenty of cupboard space. Importantly, the large house was really warm, a pleasant surprise given the space of the property.On the downside, it's a pity there wasn't a gate to the front garden which gave a problem for our 2 retrievers to play without the chance to escape. We manage to improvise, but a proper gate would be good.All the bathrooms were superb, but again, a small point: there was nowhere to put soap and shampoo apart from on the floor. For such a high spec property, this seemed an easily rectifiable oversight.Finally, the proximity to St David's was huge bonus, just a mile or so to the cathedral and the city itself. We tried to book the property for the same time next year, but now, much to our disappointment, it's not possible to book for a 4 day break, but only for the week which doesn't suit us at all. A great shame as we really thought we'd hit on a place that we could easily return to on an annual basis. For those who want a large, spacious property that will accept a couple of dogs, and can stay for the week, I can still highly recommend Rhos y Cribed.
If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at Porthclais Farmhouse.
Wonderful weather made our stay at the lovely house very enjoyable.
Had a great time - super accommodation. Lovely trip to Ramsey Island and best fish & chips at The Shed in Porthgain.
Lovely house, very very comfortable & beautiful. Many thanks.
All had a good time despite downpours for our first two days.
We had a wonderful time in this lovely place. Many thanks! The walk along the cliffs to the west is perfect. Cut inland at the shore to the road behind the house. Great time.

The cliffs are spectacular; the bird and wildlife is captivating; the sea and sky a constantly changing panorama. The Coast Path circles the Peninsula offering miles of breathtaking coastline, all within the easy reach of a two mile radius.
Caerfai Beach and Whitesands Beach
- Caerfai Beach is a short drive away - a family-friendly cove perfect for sandcastles and rock pooling. On the other side of the peninsula Whitesands Beach is a surfer's paradise, at low tide the huge expanse of sand is great for football or cricket, games of chase or flying a kite.
St Davids Farmhouse is near shops, pubs and restaurants
- St Davids, just a mile away, is Britain's smallest city but really only the size of a village, full of interesting shops, galleries, crafts and a choice of places to eat and drink. Enjoy delicious wholesome food at The Refrectory served in the stunning Cathedral setting. Do try The Bench with its home made £ Italian' ice cream.
- Oriel Y Parc Caf£ offers breakfast and lunches with locally sourced produce and whilst there Oriel Y Parc Gallery is well worth a visit. Entry is free and featured works include those of Graham Sutherland, who bequeathed a body of his artwork to Pembrokeshire.

Strumble Head
- North Pembrokeshire has a dramatic and beautiful coastline. Sometimes wild and windy but always spectacular, Strumble Head is one of the best places in Britain to look out for passing pods of porpoises which surface in the tidal races just out beyond the point. Seals are often spotted in the sea below the lighthouse where a wartime lookout has been converted as a shelter for the public to use.
Fishguard and Goodwick
- The town of Fishguard is an understated treasure and a busy community. Perched above the Lower town harbour with its boats and jumbled buildings, there are shops and banks, a cinema and sport centre as well as a number of places for the visitor to eat.
Picton Castle
- Days out in Pembrokeshire should include a trip to Picton Castle. With some of the biggest and oldest trees in West Wales, a maze, a walled garden and a fernery and when you have exhausted yourself in the woodland walks, a cafe serving really tasty homemade food. Pic-ton Castle is a real delight.
