Matthew

“Overall the place is fantastic, very warm and welcoming.”

The only point our facilities is the pressure of water on the shower and position of the shower curtain. It could do with a rainfall shower head to help with the low pressure and a shower curtain running the length of the bath. But that being said it was still incredible with amazing views. I will definitely be stopping again.

Johanna October 2023

“Kingfisher was perfect for us - 3 adults 2 children (10 &2) & dog.”

Very homely, cosy, comfy, warm & clean with everything we needed & more. We arrived at dusk in the rain to a lovely warm welcoming cottage with the best most thoughtful welcome package we've had. Tasty treats for all including the dog as well as activities for the children that even included a pumpkin & cutting set (we were there over Halloween). The weather wasn't kind to us but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time & the swimming pool helped enormously to entertain old & young. Its all set in beautiful peaceful grounds with lovely walks. The owners were friendly & helpful.

“Great Cottage, home from Home, Very peaceful, well equipped, No Complaints ...”

Great Cottage, home from Home, Very peaceful, well equipped, No Complaints here, just a few suggestions for Small improvements 1) Although fly spray and sticky traps were provided flies/wasps were still an issue, I have suggested to owners of a fly trap from Amazon which I have in my garden (to possible hide them in the hedges btwn the back gardens) from guests view, 2) Even though pool was open 12hrs a day, 0900-2100, it would be nice to have early morning swimming pool opening times (6am /7am) for the early risers - maybe by arrangement only) 3) Bigger quilts on the double bed , (possible king size) Definitely will be returning for a 2nd and 3rd and 4th Holiday in the coming years ahead

- Donna, September 2023

Thank you for your kind comments Donna, we appreciate all feedback we receive, we have purchased the fly traps you suggested and will place them behind the cottages. In regards to the swimming pool opening times we are happy if requested to make alternative arrangements for guests to use it earlier. We are really happy you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again next year. Property Owner
Lisa June 2023

“What a gem!”

40 acres of grounds to walk, dog friendly, swimming pool and pool table, and comfortable, well equipped cottages with WiFi. We enjoyed our stay and totally relaxed, just what we want from a holiday. There is a small shop in the village, others not too far away. Larger supermarkets 30 minutes away in Cardigan, or a little further afield in Haverfordwest or Pembroke. Full sized fridge/freezer and washer/dryer in the kitchen were a bonus. This cottage is ideally situated to explore Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. Friendly and helpful owner onsite if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

- Lisa, June 2023

Thank you Lisa for your lovely review and kind comments. We are really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in Kingfisher cottage. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

We had a family of 3 adults ages 39 - 68yrs old and 2 children at 6yrs and 13yrs and we all had a brilliant time with the views to die for a great indoor heated pool plenty of walks on your doorstep very secluded but shops only 10 mins away if your stuck, we didn't actually meet the owners but they were a out the place working and always had time to wave and to call asking if all was well would recommend 110%

Sherrilyn April 2022

“Just finished a 7 night stay and we’re impressed with how lovely the owners are, so helpful and professional.”

Accommodation is looked after and so are the facilities. It’s a chilled out experience and it’s so peaceful. Lots of space to get about on site which is lovely and I’m sure once the owner puts a finishing mark and add colour and depth to the growth of the woods/grounds it will be simply perfect. We are already looking to go back again next year and plan out trips a bit better as we did struggle to find things to do with two dogs in hand.

- Sherrilyn, April 2022

We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we shall be delighted to see you again Property Owner

- Tracey, September 2020
Theresa September 2020

“A well equipped cottage in lovely surroundings.”

The owners were really considerate, driving down to the lake to see if my elderly mum would need a lift back after noticing her walking with her stick. We really enjoyed the use of the swimming pool for which we had allocated times due to covid and social distancing. My son in law is already considering booking again.

- Theresa, September 2020
Simon September 2019

“The cottage was spacious and well equipped.”

Alison August 2019

“Great cottage in a great location.”

Everything you could need or want from a holiday location in Britain.

- Alison, August 2019
Pam July 2019

“A really well equipped cottage in picturesque surroundings.”

Thoroughly enjoyed walks in the wooded grounds with the grassy paths. Beautiful fishing lake with ducks was the favourite walk but wish I had taken insect repellent for the walks. Best feature was the swimming pool, we used it every day. Pleasantly warm at all times and just a short walk back to the cottage in wet bathers - not a problem. My ONLY downside which dropped it a point was the dense bedding. Weird uncomfortable, solid polyester. Caused a few restless nights. That point aside a very enjoyable holiday. Thank you.

- Pam, July 2019
Roy July 2019

“The peace and quiet its Amazing !”

Simon June 2018

“Cleanliness could've been better, dust was an issue for me due to allergies.”

Also the shower doesn't work properly, a new head is needed. Cottage was nice, but a refresh of a few bits and pieces wouldn't hurt, new kitchen utensils are definitely needed. Overall had a really nice stay, pool was clean and grounds were so well kept. Staff were friendly and helpful. No problems during the stay. Would definitely stay again.

- Simon, June 2018
