Tamsin August 2024

“Swallow Cottage was lovely.”

Spacious, clean and well equipped for our stay. The grounds were well kept and we enjoyed exploring, the pool was warm, we used it daily! The owners were very helpful and friendly, also being dog friendly accommodation was great. It made a really good base for getting out and about in the area, but equally we enjoyed the peace and quiet Maesgwynne offers when we weren't going out. We were sad to come home - and look forward to visiting again!

Laura August 2024

“We have just returned from a week at Swallow cottage.”

The owner of the cottages is such a lovely chap and lives within the grounds and therefore always around to answer any questions. His son also lives within the grounds and is very friendly too. We travelled out to visit different places most days but did stay at the cottage for a day or two. We played the games (provided in the cottage), used the pool, had a little walk to the lake. The pool is fantastic! It is lovely and warm, clean and plenty big enough for 8-10 people. You can book slots to allow your party an hour or two in the pool which we did on a couple of occasions. The pool is a minute or two walk from the cottages and therefore I’d recommend taking a dressing gown to wear to and from the pool. There are plenty of choices for ‘days out’ but they are a good 30 mins drive away. This wasn’t a problem for us as we loved the quiet location of the cottage and didn’t mind the drives out. The same applies for pubs/restaurants. The closest are a good 20 mins away. I’d have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to others and would love to return one day.

Penelope July 2024

“A very comfortable home from home.”

No frills, but that meant less worry that little ones would wreck anything! Plenty of room for all of us- and particularly liked the freedom of the gated patio with 2 door access- we knew the little ones were safe. Big ones also enjoyed sitting there for barbecues. The pool was an absolute hit with all - especially the booking system allowing 2 hour slots for families- ideal and it worked very well. Nice big table in the kitchen/dining area, well provided with kitchen utensils, crockery etc. Beds were comfy with spotlessly clean bedding. 3 TV sets a bonus too. The grounds were beautiful, and so peaceful. The fishing lake was a really tranquil spot but we didn't catch anything! Well placed for visiting many local attractions/beauty spots. Overall we would highly recommend this property for a family group or a set of friends. A magical place.

- Penelope, July 2024

James February 2023

“Swallow cottage is ideal.”

It's warm a great base, there were seven of us and it was very spacious. Would definitely go back although probably when pool is open later in year when a little sunnier for kids to swim. No complaints at all with our stay. All being on one floor was great for the father-in-law who has limited mobility.

- James, February 2023

Thank you for your kind comments James. We hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner
Laura December 2022

“Lovely and cosy accommodation.”

Had everything we needed for a family including a child and a dog. Also nice to have the hot powerful showers after walking in the rain. Having multiple TVs also meant both adults and child were happy watching separate programmes. Loved how remote and peaceful it was.

“As an eight person multi generational family ranging from an octaganerian to a five year old we can highly recommend this property, plenty of room for us all.”

The grounds are beautiful with plenty of walks for the dog, having the pool there is a big bonus the children were in their element. The owners are great and make you feel very welcome, the card and flowers for mom's birthday were a lovely touch. All in all a brilliant week at this property.

Catherine July 2022

“Beautiful cottage, stunning grounds.”

Everything was perfect and as described. It was a fantastic base for exploring Wales - we managed trips to St David's and Tenby and lots of places to keep the children entertained. The pool was an amazing bonus!

Thank you for your lovely comments Catherine. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Kathryn June 2022

“The property was situated in a beautiful estate, off the beaten track and completed secluded (apart from the other properties in the group).”

Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, although could do with more small plates and bowls. The grounds were beautiful, well maintained and with a lovely covered swimming pool (which was used nearly every day). There is a lovely walk down to the lake, which has benches and is very well stocked with fish. All in all, a fabulous place to explore South Wales

- Kathryn, June 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here. Thank you for letting us know about the small plates and bowls we have added more to the cottage. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Kirsty June 2022

“A hidden gem, located in the most beautiful grounds.”

Ideal for families with a lovely swimming pool, often we were the only ones in there. Lovely walks for dogs up towards fishing lake. Fishing available for small cost. The owners are super friendly and so accommodating. A lovely little play area for children, an outside hut with games and a pool table. Our cottage had a bbq and enclosed small outside space. We've been 3 times and would highly recommend (although not to too many, they would have no availability else). We will return, possibly even as a bigger party, renting more cottages. Drive is around 40 mins to Tenby where we would often venture for a beach day. The only thing that let us down was the weather but otherwise totally faultless. The owner even let our tractor mad little one sit in his tractor. Great people, great place.

- Kirsty, June 2022

- Farid, December 2021
Gerry September 2021

“The accommodation was very comfortable and made it very easy to have a good relaxing holiday.”

The swimming pool was better than expected and made a great addition to the house. We even managed to get a bit of fishing in on the lake. A few good fish were caught (and carefully released), which added to the overall experience. The fact that we were able to take our dogs was a huge bonus and what with the large wooded area suitable for walking them, this all added up to a really great holiday. The owners made every effort to ensure we had a good time and were the perfect hosts. A big thank you to Rob and Chris.

- Gerry, September 2021
Ben September 2021

Barbara December 2019

“We've had a fantastic time, the cottage was very clean, kitchen well equipped and the surrounding area was stunning.”

Definitely have to come back in the summer when the pool is open. When we arrived at the cottage we have realized that we forgot to take our cot bed, that was not a problem and we have received a high chair and cot bed within 5 minutes of asking for it.

- Barbara, December 2019
Sarah September 2019

“The owners were very welcoming and very friendly.”

Jon August 2019

“Rob and his family were very welcoming and have gone to enormous lengths to create fabulous grounds to wander in and the swimming pool was great.”

The cottages are centrally located with the wonderful Pembrokeshire coast accessible in a 30 to 45 min drive. We can highly recommend Tenby (take pound coins for the car parks) and Saundersfoot. For a fabulous meal we can recommend the Mulberry restaurant in Saundersfoot for a special treat.

Mervyn August 2018

June February 2018

“Nothing, we had a lovely time, the owners really looked after us well, we had two very elderly relatives with us 90 and 95 years and the owners went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed to make it comfortable for them.”

They even provided wheelchairs and, because the weather was so bad, offered to let us stay on until the weather cleared at no extra cost. It was a beautiful location in huge grounds with lakes and outdoor covered heated pool, (although it wasn;t open this time of year), but we had a wonderful early morning and late evening walk around the grounds which was both invigorating and calming. A lovely pre spring break, just what was needed.
