• "We enjoyed our stay at Dolwern."

  It is a large and comfortable house that is very well equipped with everything you need. The owner Rich kept us well informed and sorted out a minor problem immediately. We were on our own as our friends couldn't come with us due to illness so we just used the ground floor but the house will easily accommodate a group of friends or a large family. We hope to return and hopefully have better weather.

  Thank you Sue for your amazing feedback. It was lovely having you stay at ‘Dolly’ and also great to have such positive and understanding guests. We would love for you to stay again. Hopefully, this time with your friends. I’ll order good weather ! Property Owner

  We had a wonderful stay, exploring the area knowing we had such a comfortable place to come back and relax in at the end of the day. Rich, the owner, was most helpful, sending us lots of information and suggestions of things to do before and upon arrival, and he was readily available to contact should we need him. Thanks so much, Rich, we can't wait to come back!

  Thanks Jen for the feedback. Really pleased you and your family had a good time at Dolly. You certainly got out and about! We would love to have you stay again. Very best regards and thanks for choosing Dolwern - I appreciate there is much competition in the area. Property Owner

  The house is decorated and equipped to the highest standards, and the magical garden won us over big time! We had everything we needed, and our 2 and 5 year olds loved the bunk beds! Rich, the owner was more than helpful, and provided us with loads of info which added to the joy of our stay, replying very quickly each time to our requests. We would definitely come back again should the opportunity arise.

• "We have just returned from a wonderful week at Dolwern."

  It was our first visit but will definitely not be our last. Having read the reviews from previous visitors, our expectations we pretty high. Amazingly though, this beautiful house completely exceeded all expectations. Within our party were my two young grandchildren (5 & 7); my elderly father and his sister (95 and 94) and various ages in between. The house really was suitable for everybody. The downstairs ensuite bedroom was perfect for my frail father and the children loved the bunk beds. Everybody loved the garden and all of its amazing features. The information provided by the owners before and during our stay was exceptional and we were left in no doubt that they genuinely cared about their guests. As others have mentioned, there are some wonderful walks, literally on the doorstep. My son and the children enjoyed walking to the beach at Cwm-yr-Eglwys via the path at the end of the garden. I was able to drive there with my dad, where the car park is right next to the beach. It really is a beautiful spot. The locals we encountered we very friendly and welcoming, including the landlady at The Ship Aground, just up the road. A really nice pub with a lovely beer garden. We would recommend The Golden Lion at nearby Newport, for eating out. We actually went on 3 successive evenings and the food and service was excellent each time. All in all, I cannot recommend Dolwern highly enough. Huge thanks to Rich and Leigh, whose care and attention to detail really did make for a wonderful holiday.

  Debra and family. So glad you had a great time. Since we embrace a multi-generational family too it’s so refreshing to hear that the feature we built into the renovation have worked - at least to a large degree. We are so lucky to have such great locals willing to support holiday makers. You always get a very warm welcome when local establishments are visited. It’s been lovely communicating with you all - your enjoyment has put a wide smile on my face. Hope to see you again sometime in the future. Property Owner

• "We had a great holiday in Dolwern."

  The house was superbly equipped with very high standard kit, beautifully presented with many thoughtful touches. A real home away from home. We could have done with a bit more space in the bedrooms & en-suite, but a very minor quibble. We were very pleased with the accommodation and would not hesitate top book again if we come to north Pembs. Excellent comms with property owner who showed great concern that we enjoyed our holiday. First class!!

  So glad you had a great holiday. The balance between having your own en-suite bathroom and space is a tricky one. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

  All clean and tidy, plenty of room, number of bathrooms was great, facilities good. Personally I love the artificial grass at the back, so it’s always ok to sit outside without getting wet feet. Some nice walks to the sea and lots of places to visit. Would recommend it.

• "Review Dolwern 'Dolly'."

  The refurbishment of the cottage has been done to the highest standards both internally and externally, every detail of the accommodation is well thought though giving the best for any holiday maker. The property has all the amenities anyone could want including two large fridges! It suited our group of 8 walking the Pembrokeshire coastal path. Highlights were the walk along the coastal path to St David's, 40 miles completed and incredible bird life including large numbers of chough's. Being almost on the coastal path it is ideally located. There are pubs 2 mins walk and restaurants less than a 10 min drive. The owner Rich could not have been more helpful. The property would also suit families exploring the magnificent Pembrokeshire countryside, attractions and beaches. The nearest beach being only a few mins walk. All in all an excellent property, location and weeks holiday.

  Thank you so much for the great review. So pleased you had such a good time walking the Pembs Coastal Path. We agree - it truly is stunning. We hopefully look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future. Property Owner

  We enjoyed spreading out and spending time together in the different areas of the house, as well as the spacious garden, all equipped with everything we needed! Incredibly helpful hosts made us feel welcome before we arrived, and were responsive to my queries. We really enjoyed time at two beaches we could walk to, playing on the sand and in the sea even at the end of October. We highly recommend a stay at Dolwern, and hope we might be able to have a summertime return...

  The accommodation is extremely well equipped, very comfortable and an ideal location for the Pembrokeshire coast and countryside. Whilst we were lucky to have good weather in October, I’m sure the outdoor facilities are fantastic for the warmer weather months.

  It's a beautiful property and great for a family holiday. The large kitchen dinner area is a brilliant communal space making for some lovely family evenings. A particular highlight is the secret garden area with fire pit, we spent some lovely evenings there. There was a bag of logs provided. The location is fab with lovely beaches within walking distance and pub, fish and chip shop and village shop very close. Add acces to the Coastal Path and Dinas Mountain to the mix and it's perfect. We also loved the footpath at the bottom of the garden which takes you to the road down to the beaches. The owner is also very helpful and sent a very welcoming and useful message before we arrived. Highly recommended.

• "We booked this cottage as loved the look of the garden."

  It did not disappoint! The garden is gorgeous, the Astro turf is brilliant baby was able to play out. We were blessed with lovely weather not a single rainy day. The kitchen is very well equipped with quality equipment. Loved the large fridge which was perfect for our family size. Loved the highchair available to use for baby. Good quality hoover. Loved the open plan kitchen and living room, in the evenings could watch TV with the children whilst preparing food. Although this is a semi detached cottage it is very secluded! The drive is narrow but you can park in the front perfectly fine. I did love how though Rich the owner gives you good instructions how to drive in the driveway and out. Rich the owner was always reachable and very helpful. In the local area we really enjoyed cardigan farm park, Newport beach and white sands bay near St David’s Lovely ice cream also in the shack in Fishguard, caffi mawr at Newport beach and also in St David’s! Really enjoyable relaxing holiday and we would love to return!

  Hi That’s such a lovely review. So pleased you had such a great time. And thank you for watering the garden during the hot spell. Yep, the drive is narrow although we’ve had transit vans and trucks delivering wooden logs. However, it does require a slow and steady approach and benefits from having a turning area so you can drive in and out facing forward. Thank you for choosing ‘Dolly’. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future. Property Owner

  The property is very well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings throughout.. Our granddaughters (aged 5 and 8) were able to play safely in the garden and loved the "secret" path at the back of the property down to the beach. We particularly appreciated the call from the owner of the property just before we travelled to Dinas Cross advising us of the best places to go, recommended eateries and general advice for getting the best out of "Dolly". We would readily recommend this property for a relaxing holiday in a good location.
