September 2020
Owner was lovely and friendly, the cottage itself is in a peaceful quiet location - lots of farm noise but we didn’t mind that at all.. Especially loved our daily visit from the friendly farm dog! Great location for exploring Pembrokeshire. Cottage is lovely in places but the kitchen (not pictured on the website) needs updating, would really benefit from new appliances especially the kettle! No oven gloves provided (not sure if this is a covid issue or not) bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Quite bad patches of possible damp on the downstairs bedroom wall. Our main issue with our stay was the cleaning - due to covid we were under the impression that it was vital that each property is cleaned thoroughly before each new stay - when we arrived there were cobwebs everywhere, dead flies on most surfaces (we understand flies are just part of life on the farm but considering we arrived straight after it should have been cleaned, the amount of dead flies was alarming) and the carpets looked as though they hadn’t been hoovered. When we wiped the kitchen benches, the cloth came away dirty. We spent our first night giving the place a thorough clean to make ourselves feel a bit safer - I think it would benefit the owners and their guests if a deeper clean was undertaken especially given the current climate. Hand sanitizer was provided which was a good touch! Not bad at all for the price which was reasonable but I think a few issues need addressing.
