"Always a pleasure to stay at gold crest."
Its cosy warm and full of home comforts.
-
"A wonderful, relaxing holiday, close to the village & sea."
Just what the doctor ordered.
-

A lovely break in a comfortable home and very accommodating owners,
-
"No user manual for current washing machine provided."
Cutting grass should have been carried out prior to our arrival and garden furniture should have been cleaned. Sykes advised us to take our own tea towels but these were provided. The availability of an outside tap and hose was great - made cleaning the dog on returning from walks very easy, thank you. We enjoyed our stay at Goldcrest very much. Highly recommend visiting the Dolls House museum. Food and service at The Canteen was excellent.

"We had a wonderful week at Goldcrest."
The bungalow is very well equipped and comfortable. It has lots of natural light from all the windows but doesn’t seem overlooked by neighbouring properties when inside or outside in the beautiful gardens. We found it very relaxing to listen to the stream in the garden and looking at all the artwork inside. The dogs loved it too. It is very centrally located in Newport and has plenty of parking. I’m sure that we will be back soon.

"What a little gem!"
! Surrounded by lovely mature gardens, tucked away just outside the village, on the doorstep of beautiful walks, the bungalow is a real home from home. Everything you could need is there and lots of extras. Stephen was so helpful and available for any questions we had plus told us about a lovely walk over to beach and golf club that our dogs loved. We will be back!! Ps welcome gift was a lovely touch and much appreciated.

.fantastic accommodation, beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything needed. The location in Newport was great dog walks straight from the door ..and local shops that sell all that you need . We came away feeling rested and relaxed .After our Pembrokeshire holiday. Thanks Stephen and Fiona ,for a fantastic holiday.

"We loved Goldcrest."
Stephen and Fiona had ensured that this bungalow is very comfortable and easy to stay in. It suited our needs perfectly. It is ideally situated right next to the coastal path making doggy walks to Newport Sands or the Parrog so convenient. It is also very close to some great foodie shops - we ate well!
-
"Beautiful property, well kept and very clean."
The flowers in the rooms was a lovely touch. The patio door was lovely to sit and listen to the birds and stream. Stephen allowed me to move some items which my blind dog could have bumped into . My dogs enjoyed the secure garden. The location of this property is brilliant, easy access to the coastal path , shops and pubs. Newport is very dog friendly. I’ve already booked to come back next year., can’t wait .

"Beautiful bungalow with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing holiday."
Everywhere was extremely clean and all applicances worked well. Peaceful and quiet with only birdsong and the sound of running water from the stream. So handy being only a few minutes walk into the town and the coastal path. We hope to return.
-
"We had a wonderful relaxed time in a lovely home."
So well equipped and comfortable. The dogs loved the garden and were so safe. The wine and nibbles were very welcome. We’ve already booked again for later this year

"We arrived after a six hour drive from Yorkshire late afternoon on Christmas Eve, the property was cold and after following the instructions given the oil fired boiler (which was clearly past its sell by date) refused to light."
I managed to get a local heating engineer to look at the problem who concluded there was no heating oil in the supply tank. By late evening we were found alternative accommodation, which was a bungalow in the middle of a housing complex, comfortable but hardly the cottage with the seaside view we envisaged. I am still waiting for a response to my last e-mail to you regarding some form of refund for this disastrous experience which left my wife extremely upset, this (your) problem will not go away.

"Not really our idea of a 'cottage' but a really nice bungalow."
great gardens and facilities. great location. good coms from your local office.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your holiday, it makes it all worth it for us. Property Owner

"Goldcrest is a delightful well appointed bungalow in a brilliant location."
Coastal path a 2 minute walk and several good eating places within walking distance. Would particularly recommend Llys Medic. Michelan star quality

"A very comfy warm cottage, the welcome bottle of wine cheese straws and fresh flowers were a lovely touch."

We look forward to seeing you again, Stephen & Fiona Property Owner

"We had an absolutely brilliant stay at Goldcrest."
My husbands words when we arrived “you’ve hit the jackpot in choosing this one” said it all. In our opinion the bungalow is short of nothing, it was extremely clean, very spacious and light (love that there are so many windows) well equipped (very impressed with USB sockets), the fresh flowers were a lovely touch and very much appreciated, as was the wine and cheese straws. We can’t come up with anything we thought could have made it better. All in all a fantastic stay, we all said we could happily up sticks and move to Goldcrest permanently given half a chance!

"Great week at Goldcrest, the property was even better than the photos and is such a lovely place."
Beautifully furnished & the garden settings are great, listening to the stream whilst in bed was a fab end to the day. Can’t fault the property or the quiet location - back gate takes you to a footpath leading straight to town or a playing field (can go through a gap there to the Secret Garden for a bev!) I would definitely return.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your holiday, it makes it all worth it for us. Property Owner

"This was our second visit and so we knew what to expect."
Feedback had been noted and and responded to. As before, a delightful bungalow with everything in place. A couple of comments. *I didn’t find the bed comfortable (the double). Possibly two much single use leading to a sense of sloping ? *Several dead mice in the garden.
We have turned the mattress, it was brand new last year and quite expensive, we have had a word with next doors cats to take their mice home once they have caught them!! Property Owner

"We have been to Pembrokeshire many times and this property was ideally situated for us with a dog."
We love the area and it was easy to walk to beaches and shops.

"A clean and comfortable cottage in a v convenient location."
The garden with its babbling brook, bird life and different seating areas was a real bonus, and the proximity to town and coast enviable. We look forward to returning.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your holiday, it makes it all worth it for us. Hope to see you again soon Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our stay here a quiet cul-de-sac bungalow with lovely gardens and the sound of water created a beautiful ambience."
We was fortunate to have great weather over the Easter holidays and a visit to Tenby & saundersfoot & blue lagoon was paramount and didn't disappoint we shopped at m&s and Morrisons for the essentials about a 30 minute drive.we had fish and chips at the Shed(Google) omg we've never tasted such delicious fish. All in all we had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend thank you to the owners
-
"Really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and clean, plenty of room for our dogs too, would stay again"

"Located at the end of a nice quite cul de sac is this lovely bungalow with gated private driveway."
Really easy to find. The garden at the front is fully secure to ensure pets cannot get out. There is also a gate by the garage in the front garden that leads to a footpath that will take you into town. The rear garden is nice and private with benches and seating, please note that there is a stream that litteraly runs along side the garden and bungalow with a steep drop down to it, bare this in mind if travelling with small toddlers, however if your pets love the water then this will be ideal for them as you can get access to it further down the garden. The bungalow itself was nice and spacious, evrey room was huge, the fact that the kitchen, dining area and living are in a u shape config was a bonus. The living room tv has full sky + HD with most, if not all the channels including the movie channels, also has Netflix. The kitchen has evreything you need, Washing machine was useful after getting muddy on the walks. There is also a heated clothes dryer in the cupboard. The shower was nice and powerful and spacious. The bedrooms are large with plenty of cupboard storage. The mattresses are quite hard on both the double and single beds although this wasn't a problem for us. I think they are memory foam. The single beds are smaller than standard and not really suited for tall adults, unless you want cold feet :). There was lovely fresh flowers and a nice bottle of wine with cheese crackers upon arrival wich was greatly appreciated. Also note that there is very little/no phone signal in the bungalow but there is good fast WiFi and a land-line available. The Welsh coastal path is is only a 5 min walk away, there is a lovely walk down the estuary and through the golf course and back along Newport beach. Top top* don't forget your wellies or shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. There is a spar in town for essentials but good luck getting bread, we tryed 3 days and there was no bread at all, alltho there is a large co-op and tesco express in Fishguard which is only a 10-15 min drive away. Or there is a tesco superstore in cardigan which is around 20-25mins drive. There is a few pubs in town aswell, I can't comment as I never went in any of them. All in all we would absolutely recommend this cottage and would return time and time again.

"We had a fabulous time at Goldcrest and will definitely think about visiting again."
The property was perfect in terms of the proximity to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, and to pubs and shops. The property provided everything you’d need - the only thing lacking was a pair of oven gloves, but not sure if that’s a ‘COVID’ thing. The owners were fantastic; a lovely bottle of wine and cheese crackers were there on our arrival, as well as a vase of gorgeous flowers (it’s the little things that count). We also had a problem with the shower of which we notified them and literally the same day, the plumber arrived to repair it. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Being a bungalow it was perfect for my Dad who’s disabled. We also loved the retro style of the house - it’s doesn’t need to be updated, as a previous review suggested, clearly not aware of what retro means. I’d absolutely recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline.

"We didn’t manage to use the microwave."
It wasn’t intuitive and the instructions didn’t help. The sound bar on the tv kept shutting down. If it didn’t come on at all the tv sound worked but if it did come on briefly and then shut down we had no sound. Otherwise all was fine. Very comfortable and quiet in a nice setting close to pubs, shops, walks in the hills or along the coast.
-
"The shower was out of action."
.Caretaker phoned for a plumber.Plumber turned up on wednesday.Plug in the wash basin had to be replaced by a rubber plug on a chain.Microwave was dificult to use.Single bed mattres are rather hard.The garden,plants and cut flowers and wine were lovely.The caretaker did his best for us and was very nice and polite.
-
"Bungalow was great in a lovely location."
More info before hand on how booked up the village pubs get would have been good as first night/ weekend everywhere was full and didn’t know where to try.

"The four of us, myself, partner and his parents thoroughly enjoyed a really relaxing week at goldcrest."
We weren’t allowed in until 6pm due to covid regulations being met, regarding cleanliness. That said, there were a number of areas where the standard wasn’t met...dusting nest of tables, moving sideboard to clean floor and stains/drips on the woodwork beside the dining table. These were niggles, and didn’t detract from the holiday. But these really should have been dealt with in the extra time that the cleaners had. The set up was great. Open plan so you could talk easily with each other, even into the garden, as you stepped onto a decked veranda from kitchen or lounge. Two great sized bedrooms, great shower and lounge area. We had a problem with the tv and the owners popped in within 30mins to sort it out. Both very helpful and friendly. Our dog really enjoyed the garden...and ran around it with joy! He really made the most of every inch! Newport is a gorgeous town which we’ve stayed in 4 times now. Invariably we will return as there is so much in Newport and in Fishguard and Cardigan, which are both close by car. Unfortunately we won’t be returning next year, purely due to the increase in cost, for the same period. But we may well look at other weeks, as we all loved the property.

"Great accommodation, great location - excellent!"
-
"This is a lovely holiday let in a very convienint position."
it has been totally claen each time we have been there, and goes above with a welcome wine and flowers The owners , Stepehn and Fiona, make you as welcome as they could.
-
"Goldcrest is such a relaxing place for a holiday; clean, peaceful and full of character."
We really managed to switch off and chill out for a week, spending time walking along the coast path to the beach and taking a day trip to St David's. We couldn't have enjoyed our week more and hope to return!
-
"Lovely setting of bungalow surrounded by garden, trees and running stream yet only minutes from Newport centre and coastline."
-
"There was some dog poo not cleared up in the garden."
...quite a bit...it was fairly old.....but obviously someone had had a week without clearing it up, so I had to..
-
"The bungalow was a prefect holiday home."
Good facilities, filled with light, comfortable and tasteful with a lovely garden surrounding the home which always had somewhere facing the sun and lots of garden seating. Most importantly it had the perfect location with a path leading from the back garden into the centre of the village or the estuary, making it easy to have car free days.i thought Sykes did well with easy booking and email reminders about accessing the property and checking out.
-
"Goldcrest is a beautiful property and the owners had gone out of their way to provide everything needed to make our stay fabulous."
We were especially touched with the fresh flowers and wine. So thoughtful. Goldcrest is ideally situated being a short walk to the sea in one direction and Newport centre in the other direction. My husband and I and our dog have stayed in numerous places over the years but I can honestly say this is the best and the owners Really have provided everything one could wish for in Goldcrest. Thank you very much We will be returning hopefully very soon. Liz and Pete Holmes and Frankie

"Had a lovely stay at Goldcrest."
Very comfortable accommodation. Beds excellent. Spacious and roomy. Well laid out and garden very dog friendly. Nice walk to beach and near to local shops and pubs. The only small criticism is that the bungalow is set up for 4 people but could have done with another couple of dinner plates and perhaps a couple of hiball glasses for a g &t rather than using wine glasses. Other than that throughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
-
"We loved the peaceful yet convenient location of the cottage."
No traffic noise, a secluded garden for outdoor meals and quiet reading (and a great library of paperbacks, local history and Welsh language!), but easy access to the centre of Newport via a footpath at the back of the property. A short walk in the opposite direction leads to the estuary and coast path. Excellent for birdwatchers. Owner very friendly and helpful.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is less than 5 minutes' walk away at the Iron Bridge on the upper reaches of the river Nevern estuary where many different varieties of wading birds are spotted daily.
Goldcrest is just a few minutes' walk from a butcher, baker, deli, general store and a selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants serving excellent food.
Also within walking distance of the cottage is Parrog beach and Traeth Mawr - the 'big beach' which is a 20-minute walk along the coast path (or 3 miles by road) and offers a mile and a half of silver sand with rock pools, dunes and cliffs, backed by the 18-hole links golf course.
This cottage is perfect for a couple or a small family at any time of the year.
