Why you love Manor House

Pembrokeshire continues to weave its magic! Lovely cottage. Penty of sun but where are those long hot June days of yesteryear? Mind you we have eaten outside on occasions. Thanks for the welcome.

The Fellows family

Never tire of visiting Pembrokeshire. Something new everytime. Beautiful weather and a beautiful cottage. Can't wait to come again.

Karen, Brian and June

Very good property in a great location. Really enjoyed our stay. Trefin is an ideal base. Highly recommended.

Sharon and Simon

Our second visit to Manor House, and again, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The house is very well equipped and comfortable- we made good use of the garden. Enjoyed the lovely coastal walks and recommend The Mill in Trefin for excellent breakfasts and The Farmer's Arms in Mathry. The Mill and The Ship in Trefin allow dogs inside. We shall be back next year!

Mr and Mrs Myers

A great holiday in a beautiful part of Wales. Plenty of coastal walks, along with kayaking, body boarding, snorkelling and seal watching. Location was superb and cottage very comfortable.

The McNulty family

A lovely week in this beautiful part of the country. Fantastic beaches and lovely walks. Some gorgeous sunsets to record. Cottage perfect- well equipped and homely. Good food in St. Davids- The Grove Hotel, The Bishops,Cwtch. Recommended shop- "Window on Wales" in Lower Solva.

Mr and Mrs Case

Excellent, lovely part of the country. Our first time here and I'm sure we'll visit again. Great walks, lovely pubs and awesome beaches. Have to go to Whitesands beach and the village football pitch. Coasteering was brilliant!

The Bain family

What a lovely warm and comfortable cottage. Just what we needed after long coastal walks, coasteering and surfing. Thanks so much for helping us at such short notice after a 2am flood in our first cottage.
