"We absolutely loved the cottage and the surrounding area."
I have never stayed at a cottage that had everything and more - the owners have really put a lot of thought and love into their cottage . The kitchen was so well equipped and I enjoy cooking so this was a dream come true.
We visited so many interesting places - castles , Iron Age fort , wool museum, wildlife centres and the nearby beaches. We had three generations holidaying in the cottage and we all wished we could have stayed for another week
Thank you for writing such a complimentary review about your stay last week in our cosy Welsh cottage.We are so glad you found everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable.There are so many interesting places to visit and so many great beaches nearby.We love visiting our home from home as much as we can & are so happy when our guests appreciate what we provide.We look forward to you visiting again in the near future.

"A proper cottage."
A lovely Welsh cottage with loads of age & character but all the modern facilities you could want. Really clean & comfortable. The garden is so lovely too with the cliff on one side & a mountain stream flowing past on the other. The owners were available on the phone & so friendly & helpful.
A great base to explore the beautiful beaches & countryside in Pembrokeshire. My only caution would be it's quite remote with narrow country lanes, if you're a very nervous driver, certainly don't trust the sat nav, if you turn into a lane with grass down the middle choose a different route!!
Thank you for such a lovely review from your recent visit to our little bit of Wales.Although the cottage dates back to 1760 we have modernised it sympathetically to allow for todays home comforts.We have found it to be very central to visit the lovely three counties which surround it.The country lanes all add to the charm and make the experience more interesting. Many thanks Lucy & Bob.

"We had a lovely week staying at your beautiful home."
It was a really cosy and comforting space to be for me, my partner and young son, and a perfectly situated base from which to tour.
Not only did we love the house, but we loved the little village where the house is.
Pembrokeshire on the whole, blew us away. I had never been to that part of the world before in my 58 years on the planet. We all thought we had landed on a little piece of heaven. Of course, the great weather we had virtually all week, made a big difference.

"This cottage had everything we needed."
It was spotless and clearly a home from home. Everything in this property is of a high specification and good quality from the fixtures/fittings and furnishings down to the cutlery. Sharp knives were a bonus! The King size bed was really comfortable, the upstairs bathroom was a treat to relax in and the downstairs bathroom of an equally high standard. The welcome pack was excellent and the wine and dog treats were much appreciated. The enclosed garden was ideal for my dog and there was a woodland walk at the top of the road as well as many footpaths and bridleways in the area. There are also some lovely beaches that dogs are welcome to have a run on.
Lucy and Bob, (the owners) were extremely attentive, receptive and excellent communicators. Many thanks for the use of your beautiful Cottage.
Kind Regards

"The property was everything you could possibly have hoped for."
A lovely 3 bedroom cottage that happily accommodated the family (three couples plus a 5 year old and a dog!), which had been beautifully decorated for Christmas which was the finishing touch.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need and the two sitting rooms provide ample space to chill out in front of the fire or tv. The dining table made a perfect setting for our family Christmas dinner, which was topped off by gifts for my nephew, the dog and the family.
With a babbling stream just outside, the courtyard makes a perfect location to sit and relax!
The village is quaint but provides easy access to nearby Cardigan whilst allowing you to get away from it all.
Wouldn't hesitate visiting again and Lucy and Bob did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend for a getaway.

"Great place to stay."
Lovely cottage. Felt more like a well loved home than an empty formulaic holiday let. Lovely and warm with the option of a fire in the wood burner.
Kitchen very well equipped, you could even bake a cake if you wanted to as mixer and cake tins are provided.
Lovely powerful shower and plenty of hot water on tap.
Some low ceilings but you very quickly get used to those or put those that don't in another room!
Easy to find and plenty of amazing walks nearby. Also not too far from the coast and we would recommend the beaches at Aberporth for a swim, even in November. I’m sure there are lots of other amazing beaches nearby but we ran out of time to explore more options.
Would recommend this cottage for anyone who wants a lovely break in this gorgeous part of Wales.

We are familiar with the surrounding area but had never been to Star before. I loved being able to buy fresh eggs locally.

"The cottage was lovely and most of the facilities were impressive."
However, the wi-fi was almost non-existent and none of our party (5) could make or receive phone calls on our mobiles. Even walking up the hill a couple of hundred yards did not produce a network connection. We were from three different households, all with children and grandchildren whom we like to stay in contact with, but this was not possible once we returned to the cottage each evening. One of our group, who is self-employed, left 2 days earlier than planned because he was out of reach of his customers for long periods. He texted my sister at 9pm to let her know that he arrived home safely, but this was not received until over 2 hours later by her. She could not phone him, as no network. Planning day trips without a signal for GPS was problematic and we had to drive a mile up the road before we could do this. I think we should have been informed that the wi-fi was very sporadic and phone network would be lost, particularly given the price that we paid. Also, the cottage, although lovely, was very dark and the very small patio areas did not get any evening sunshine, which was a shame, as it would have been nice to have had the option to dine outside, as you do when on holiday and the weather is beautiful.
We are glad to hear you thought our 18th century cottage was lovely. With regard to mobile signal this would have been explained to you if we could have contacted you prior to your visit . We provide a landline which can be used and the telephone number is in the cottage information pack. We were concerned that you had not contacted us 48 hours before your arrival and we ended up contacting Sykes to give you the code for the key safe. Regarding the broadband we hadn't had any problems with the internet as we stayed the week before your visit, unfortunately in the village we don't get fibre optic broadband. When Bob rang on the Monday evening he said if there were any problems do not hesitate to ring us or the housekeeper, but neither of us or Sykes had any communication from yourselves so we could rectify the problem, the first we knew about it was when the review was posted. We have since had it checked and there doesn't seem to be an issue with it, so it must have been a blip in the system. We are always happy to help where possible. Regards Lucy & Bob

"Having read the rave reviews we were disappointed, cottage is extremely dark , densely populated with furniture ( eg."
abundance of seating considering it is only for six people maximum) Main bedroom lacks privacy if more than 2 adults staying we did not have issue with this as there was only 2 of us. Bed extremely uncomfortable and overcrowded with furniture. The upstairs toilet facilities make it difficult for a male to address due to sloping ceiling and beams. Parking for a larger car is difficult.

So restful sitting next to the stream listening to all the birds. The owners' kindly provided a starter pack of milk, fresh eggs, brownies, wine and doggie treats. There was also a well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee and sugar to start the stay off. One of the houses had an honesty box where you could buy a box of half dozen fresh eggs for a £1 and they were the best eggs ever had for breakfast. The shower was brilliant and the bath was a real decadent experience, due to the high water pressure a little bit of bubble bath went a long way, only thing I didn't think of was a glass of bubbly! Won't forget next time. It was a lovely touch that the owner's rang on the Sat to check if everything was okay. As they had left full instructions on how everything worked luckily I didn't need to bother them. Would certainly go back and would highly recommend if you want a nice peaceful place to stay but near to everything you need to enjoy the holiday.
