• "Owners are very helpful but not intrusive."

  We have had our third visit this year except for weather we had a great time and having fenced in area for our dogs was great with no worries Liz

• "The owners were a lovely couple, very easy to talk to, they made it clear they were there to help if needed."

  Very comfortable, clean and most important to us, our 2 dogs were safe in the fully enclosed, fenced garden. A very quiet and peaceful spot to stay. I would definitely recommend a stay in this cottage.

• "The hosts were very accommodating and tried to ensure that our stay was enjoyable, however we found the accommodation somewhat dated and much too small for our needs ( this probably our own fault for not enquiring further)."

  The photographs in the listing presumably were taken with a wide angle lens and make the rooms appear much larger than they actually are, the kitchen/living room is very cramped and the bathroom felt dated. The lane leading to the listing is full of very large potholes and we are just glad of the choice of vehicles for this trip, I would not have liked taking my saloon through that obstacle course.The local pub, the Fox and Hounds was a mixed bag, good meal the first visit, one hour wait for food and an inedible steak the second visit, however locals and staff were extremely friendly. This cottage will be ideal for some, great central location for visits to beaches, Carmarthen and even Brecon Beacons , but we needed something a little larger, maybe a little newer (again our fault) and warning of worn out lane would be helpful.

• "Great hosts."

  Property ad described, great location for lots of attractions. Garden was safe, only down side was no dog walks from the door, although hosts provide maps of what looks like a fab walk, the footbridge was impossible (not hosts reaponsibility) so couldn't make use. Had to go for a car ride to safely run the dog .. although was offered use of host large garden

• "We had a wonderful weeks stay at this cottage, everything you need has been provided and it was absolutely perfect for myself, my husband and our 2 dogs."

  The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable with patio doors opening up onto an enclosed garden area with seating. We had such a wonderful time that we have booked to stay here again next year. The hosts Sylvia and Bruce were welcoming and friendly but not at all intrusive and on hand for anything we needed. This is the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed, our dogs had the best time and were allowed into the hosts garden to play with the family dogs. Thank you Sylvia, Bruce, Bingo, Finlay, Buffy & the adorable Buddy for the most relaxing holiday we have had for a long time- see you next year!

• "I had a lovely stay with my dog, Bruce and Sylvia, the owners were really friendly and knowledgeable about the area, local history and dog walks."

  The property was just as described, cosy, comfortable and had a lovely view of the garden through the patio doors. A great base to visit Pembrey beach and Pendine sands and for those wanting a slightly longer drive, St Davids. The village pub and Post Office staff were really friendly and welcoming too. We will certainly look to come back soon. Many thanks Hannah

  The garden is beautiful we sat and watched all the birds for ages! They are stunning . The bed is comfy the kitchen area is ideal it has everything you could need . The heating system is easy to use if you go in the colder months , the only thing i would say and a few other reviews have stated is that a slightly bigger sofa would make it perfect . You struggle to get 2 people on the sofa the wet room is fantastic and shower is powerful and nice and hot . Bancyfelin village is beautiful and so is st clears . It is within an easy 15 minute drive to Pendine beach . We have booked already to go back next year!

  Clean and comfortable. Great adjacent utility. Lovely garden and garden birds. Nice welcome pack. We would be very happy to return to this property. It doesn't feel like the owners are right next door - fully enclosed and independent - but very approachable if needed. The distances to shop and pub in details are not correct and the route is partly along a road with no path.

  Just what we needed to chill out and relax. It had everything we needed even dog bowls and a dog bed. It was nice to just sit and look out at the owners lovely garden and beyond- not forgetting the birds on the bird feeders. Despite the rain, we had a full 5 days visiting the local area. The local pub was close by but not really walkable as the road is quite busy and has no pavements. The owners - Sylvia and Bruce were very nice - the dog Bingo came to fence every morning and barked for a biscuit - most amusing - no alarm clock required.
