    This is a really lovely cottage. Picture perfect. Lovely cosy lounge with TV, plus another lounge which we enjoyed as a quiet space. Two very good-sized bedrooms. The bed was comfy. Wonderfully decorated with lots of stunning art plus ceramics and glass, too. Great kitchen and dining area with everything you need. There is a small garden at the back which we enjoyed in the evenings having a drink in the sun. Owners left a few sweet treats on arrival. Short walk to local pubs, cafes and restaurants in Fishguard. There is a large co-op not far from the cottage. It was a great location for exploring Pembrokeshire.

    The cottage was spacious, stylish, and beautiful, filled with amazing art and artefacts that were also for sale. There are gardens front and rear, and it's located on a quiet road, close to the town centre of Upper Fishguard. A welcome sign and gift were a lovely touch. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The owner is very helpful and responsive to any queries or requests. We loved it and would stay again.

    I was a little bit scared of the stairs, but got used to them.

    The cottage is sooo lovely! It is as shown in the pictures. Beautiful inside and out. Stayed for 3 days and used it as a base to roam around the area. Would definitely recommend staying in this cottage. It's absolutely fully equipped with everything! Gorgeously decorated and very comfortable. 😊

    Good as an art gallery.

    There is no desk for laptop work (despite the desk mentioned in the facilities) so had to use the kitchen table however the WiFi signal didn't extend as far as the table. A range extender is required or relocation of the router. Power points were in poor location but it is a very old house. I needed to wear a helmet to go upstairs and walk about the house but it is OK for short people. A number of the internal doors and the front door jam and are hard to open and close so they need some maintenance attention. The only bathroom is a bit small and probably due for a refit. The heating works well but the thermostat is a wireless device and when we arrived it was located next to the kettle which gave a false reading (easily fixed by relocating).

    Nice 17th century cottage that was well decorated with quality fittings. Good location with easy walking access to all parts of the village. Although it only has street parking there was plenty out front or 24 hour parking for GBP3 per day close by. Includes Netflix streaming TV (although the TV is way too small for the room). Very responsive hosts. We were given earlier checkin and later checkout (not always available depending on other bookings and time of year). The cottage is clean and tidy. The cottage has a very functional washer/dryer and very good dishwasher. The hosts supplied some very welcome basic pantry items and had fresh flowers for our arrival. The WiFi is strong and fast but has limited range.

    Beds were most uncomfortable - both edges tipped you towards the edge and there was a big ridge down the middle. Both the same.

    Great location, cottage quirky and beautifully finished. The art work was wonderful and the host had left a little welcome gift, which was a lovely touch. The garden would be lovely to sit in if the weather was good.

    A very minor observation but because we self catered, we found a couple of items were missing from the kitchen utensils including a cheese grater and veg peeler.

    The cottage was full of lovely bright art and knick knacks creating a very happy vibe. It was also perfectly situated for our latest leg of the Welsh Coastal Path which is truly magnificent in these parts! Communication with the host was very positive and some treats on arrival were very much appreciated!

    No bathroom cabinet or shelves in the bathroom. Also no dressing table in either of the bedrooms. Bath towels need to be bigger.

    It was very close to the centre of Fishguard. Very quiet. Lovely spacious cottage.

    Only small points to make Bed a bit too firm in room we chose to use. But slept ok. Bed was bigger in that room. 2 Steps either side to both rooms once on small landing area to bedrooms and bathroom handrail would be safer. So beware if in your later years😁. However do not be put off, it is an old property and is lovely.🥰

    Loved the decor, well equipped, nice sitting areas and dining area, Good position of property in Fishguard Handy to visit the rest of pembroke. No parking on property but this is really not a problem, as plenty of spaces on road, safe to park.

    Nothing. Everything was just as we like it.

    This is in a perfect location for walking distance to local amenities and pubs. The cottage has a cosy feel with lovely art and pottery on display. We actually bought a painting that we both liked and are so pleased with it. The cottage sleeps 4 comfortably, but we had 11 people at one time for a birthday celebration. There was more than enough room with 2 lounges and a good sized dinning area. Everything is there you would need for your stay. The weather was wet, windy and cold over our weekend in Fishguard, but the cottage was lovely and warm. We would definitely recommend for people who have an appreciation for art. The beds have memory foam mattress, so had a good night sleep. There is a combi boiler too so ample hot water for showers. We will be back.

    The listing mentioned a washing machine and dryer but there were no instructions so we had to use a laundromat. The sorting of garbage into 4 groups was not expected.

    The location was excellent for exploring the village and eating out. The house was uniquely decorated and fun to be in. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds.
