“We had a lovely long Bank Holiday break at Y Stabl.”

We walked in and immediately felt at home, Steve was so kind and showed us everything we needed as well as pinging us during the long journey there. We settled straight way and got the wine and food on. The equipment was adequate for what we needed, and we managed spaghetti bolognaise, a stew and a pork Sunday lunch (we cook a lot as part of our diet needs)! The welcome basket was lovely, and I don’t think there was anything left by the time we did! The walks were also lovely, and we found ...

We walked in and immediately felt at home, Steve was so kind and showed us everything we needed as well as pinging us during the long journey there. We settled straight way and got the wine and food on. The equipment was adequate for what we needed, and we managed spaghetti bolognaise, a stew and a pork Sunday lunch (we cook a lot as part of our diet needs)! The welcome basket was lovely, and I don’t think there was anything left by the time we did! The walks were also lovely, and we found plenty of places to sit and have lunch along the way. The weather was kind, and we thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi to get back to, nice and simple to use, and the privacy was also fine as you are quite out in the countryside. It was also lovely to read how many people have been coming there for many many years – when the swimming pool was there! Again, thank you we needed to rest our heads and hearts and we able too

Colin April 2024

“A very warm and friendly welcome by Steve and a useful supply of tea and coffee samples, a Welsh cake and a bottle of wine.”

The cottage was in a very peaceful location but close enough to main roads to be able to explore the area. An enjoyable week and would recommend to others.

- Colin, April 2024

It was a pleasure to meet you both and delighted you enjoyed your stay at Ystabl Cottage. Thanks Steve Property Owner

“We had a lovely week in the cottage.”

It was beautiful and had everything we needed! It was close to all that Pembrokeshire has to offer! We also managed to use the hot tub which was an extra bonus after a long day of hiking. Steve was a lovely man and there to greet us when we arrived!

Philip October 2023

“We had a really lovely week in Y Stabl.”

The spacious cottage is very well equipped with just about everything you may need. The comfy bed and cosy duvet are fabulous! The hot tub is great after a day of sightseeing. Steve, the owner, is very welcoming and on hand if you need anything but not obtrusive. We'd definitely recommend Y Stabl as a great break.

- Philip, October 2023

Thank you both for your lovely comments really pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. Property Owner
Raymond September 2023

“Good location for points of interest within a 25 to 30 miles radius.”

Nice and quiet for a restful stay. Steve (owner) readily on hand if required and knowledgeable about the area with respect to visits. Ample tourist information in the cottage. Internet, WiFi and Sky mobile signals a bit temperamental while we were there; however weather probably didn't help in this respect.

- Raymond, September 2023

It was lovely to meet you both and really pleased you had a relaxing stay with us . Thanks Steve Property Owner

Leonie September 2023

“Just returned from a fabulous week at Y Stabl and thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Great base for exploring South Wales. Cottage is lovely and has everything you need. We cooked 5 nights out of 7 and had no problems. Steve greeted us on arrival and gave us the tour and some tips on where to walk, which is what we intended doing. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and rightly so! Lower Town Fishguard is gorgeous and I’m a little in love with the place. The weather was so hot we actually found using the jacuzzi at the end of a long day to be too warm! We went in later and later to try and enjoy it for longer. It was lovely though! Goodwick is a lovely little town and we found the people to be so friendly it was like home from home. That was the case everywhere we went! Our only negative was the cottage felt a little damp, but to be fair the constant rain but warm weather up to our week would have contributed. We were lucky so just opened the windows and it made a difference. Nothing worth complaining about though and certainly didn’t spoil our brilliantl week, and I would recommend this to family and friends as a cracking place to stay and Steve and his wife are the best hosts! Thank you.

- Leonie, September 2023

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay apologies about the damp some wet towels and robes were left previously before your arrival. Thanks for the lovely reviews. Property Owner
Paul August 2023

“A lovely warm welcome and some treats from Steve the owner.”

A lovely cottage too, everything we needed and the perfect base to explore Pembrokeshire. Many thanks.

- Paul, August 2023

Hello Paul Thanks for the positive feedback it was fantastic to meet you both and pleased you enjoyed. Cheers Steve Property Owner
Kirsty August 2023

“Fantastic week here - the stable is clean, tidy and charming.”

Everything you need is supplied - the owners made us feel so welcome too, gorgeous Welsh bara brith cake and wine on our arrival. This may be a small gesture but it conveys a really warm welcome missing in many places - our last week away in Brixham had nothing! Steve is great, friendly and really knowledgeable about the area. He’s there when needed but never intrusive. Lovely friendly cat around too we fussed over. Hot tub was just brilliant and we used it every day. Note that the bad review posted on here by somebody previously is complete rubbish - hot tub is NOT overlooked by the owner and is private enough, you can sit at the back of it and you cannot even see the house!! Area is beautiful - fantastic coastal walks in all directions. Lots of clean towels and bath robes for hot tub are provided. Thank you again for a lovely holiday!

- Kirsty, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments it was a pleasure having both stay with us at the cottage. And pleased you enjoyed your time here. Property Owner
Mike July 2023

Paul June 2023

“A delightful and comfortable stable conversion in the Pembrokeshire countryside which is a credit to Steve and Eilir.”

Steve met us on arrival and made us feel very welcome with a thorough explanation of the facilities and local places of interest that we may wish to visit. A great place in a good location, we managed to visit much of the stunning coastline. We had no issues whatsoever and particularly enjoyed the hot tub. We found ourselves caught out one day and Steve went out of his way TWICE to help us ON HIS BIRTHDAY too! Lovely place, lovely people, lovely cat. Shame the owners were around when we departed of Gwyndu would have a Yorkshire address now :-) Faultless.

- Paul, June 2023

Hi Paul It was lovely to meet you both and really pleased you enjoyed your stay. When we last checked Gwyndy was here. Property Owner

John June 2023

“From the moment that we arrived and were greeted by the lovely owners Steve and Gili, we knew we had made a perfect choice for our holiday.”

They were so friendly and helpful, the cottage is very well equipped and comfortable, it had everything we needed to enjoy our week away. The hot tub is superb and with your own patio and lawn you are left to enjoy your holiday in privacy but also knowing that nothing is too much trouble should you need any help with anything. First class accommodation and first class hosts. Thank you both, we hope to return for another superb holiday.

- John, June 2023

Thank you so much and delighted that you enjoyed celebrating your ruby wedding anniversary at Y Stabl cottage. Definitely look forward to seeing you both again. Property Owner
Robert May 2023

“A spacious, comfortable cottage with everything you need for a great break exploring the North Pembrokeshire coast.”

The Wi-Fi Internet service is 200 Mb/s - which is faster than at home. The secluded hot-tub provides a private relaxed space to chill out after a days walking. Clean towels and robes for use around the hot tub are also provided as an added bonus. The owner was helpful and accommodating, available to help with any requirements and provided good advice for places to visit. We benefited from sunny weather, and not having explored this part of Wales before, we found plenty to keep us occupied within a 20-minute drive, in either direction along the coast.

- Robert, May 2023

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us at the cottage. Fantastic you enjoyed exploring this beautiful part of the Pembrokeshire coast. It was lovely to meet you both thanks Steve Property Owner
Jacqui May 2023

“We had a lovely week at Y Stabl.”

Cari May 2023

“Unfortunately our stay was cut very short with us only being able to stay the 1 night before having to leave.”

There was a miscommunication between Sykes and the owner before arriving so they weren't expecting us but Steve was more than accommodating and got the property ready promptly, which was greatly appreciated. The cottage itself is beautiful and finished to a very high standard however we did feel the description and photo angles published are somewhat misleading stating the owners property is opposite - it is in fact in the garden, or your stay is in theirs should we say. The 2 are in extremely close proximity to one another and both are overlooking the other. It wasn't quite the romantic stay we were expecting as we could see into their home and them into the cottage and hot tub from almost every angle. For us the the property would be perfect if not for the location unfortunately.

- Cari, May 2023

It was lovely to meet you both and no problem preparing the cottage for you at short notice. Sorry the hot tub was not private enough for your needs. Property Owner
Steven April 2023

“This is a truly stunning cottage, beautifully maintained, well equipped and roomy, a perfect couple getaway, the hot tub was a wonderful treat for us at the end of each day.”

Fabulous central location, so much to do and places to visit not too far away. Steve, our host, was there to greet us and made us feel very comfortable, (a nice bottle of wine and ‘Bara Brith’ made for an awesome and unexpected welcome. At the end of our stay we were sad to leave. We would love to visit this beautiful home and area again sometime in the future.

- Steven, April 2023

It was lovely to meet you both and looking forward to seeing you in the future. Hope you had a safe return to Canada. Property Owner

Karen June 2022

“Beautiful quirky cottage, comfortable, clean and well equipped.”

Lots to see and do if you are prepared to drive to other towns nearby. Fishguard itself needs a boost. Lots of shops closed down or empty. On the whole we had a lovely relaxing stay, our only negative comment would be that the owners live very close and a third property is currently being renovated leaving it feeling overlooked. Some kind of privacy screening would be worth a thought or to mention this in the description

- Karen, June 2022

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us at the Cottage. Just like to point out we’re not having a third property being renovated the builder’s are working in our house and were storing materials in there . Property Owner
Phil May 2022

“What a wonderful find Y Stabl was.”

It was exactly as described in the details and the photos did it justice. Steve met us when we arrived, showed us around and explained a few things. He is very friendly, helpful and would have been approachable had we have needed any further assistance. But, then he left us to enjoy our holiday. The cottage is very interesting, homely and had lots of tourist information to help you decide where to visit. There are also DVDs, books and games. The bed was so incredibly comfortable. The cottage is set in a peaceful location with only the occasional (once a day) passing car. The hot tub was a daily delight especially after a day of walking. Robes and extra towels are provided for the hot tub. It was very clean and hygienic. There is a fish pond and water feature in the garden and even when the jets were off, it was so relaxing to sit in the hot tub listening to the trickling sounds and the birdsong. We feel like we've been on a spa retreat. It's an ideal location for reaching both coasts. So many beautiful walks to do. But, also plenty of lovely towns to explore when the weather isn't favourable. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
