“We had a really lovely stay.”

The grounds were a great added bonus, fab play structure for kids. And nicely time for the pumpkin picking event.

Lynne August 2024

“The are was beautiful and the facilities on site were great.”

However, the walls of the downstairs bedrooms were damp, they smelt damp and carpets were damp. There were also very large beetles everywhere on ground floor. Overall the accommodation wasn’t particularly clean and everywhere had the air of being tired and requiring a little TLC (curtains missing rings, downstairs bathroom broken box under sink, window catches)

- Lynne, August 2024

Thank you for your comments - we will investigate immediately - last week was a particularly wet week in August - and it is a stone property The heating is always available to use, shame you didn’t ask if you were unsure how to use it . So glad we have so much outdoor space and parking and could accommodate the motor home and all the additional extra friends who joined you - great that you all enjoyed the on site facilities.

“Our visit to the Granary last year was so enjoyable, we were keen to return and it didn't disappoint.”

We love the large garden and play area - just right for a very active 7 year old. Hugh, our host, was always on hand for any problems and always did his best to sort out swiftly ( despite being in the middle of harvest). We had fantastic weather so trips to Mwnt beach and Poppet Sands very popular and not far to travel. We will definitely be returning again.

- Penny, July 2024

Thank you - it’s great to hear how much you enjoyed your holiday Property Owner

“The Granary is in a fantastic location to explore the north Pembrokeshire Coast.”

Although the Granary is dog free, do note that the adjoining property does allow dogs which can access the communal garden and outside areas. Great if you want to holiday with friends/family who have a dog. I know every cottage does things slightly differently but do bring hand soap and towels for the bathrooms (there was soap in the kitchen). The owners live near by and can help with anything you need.

“Lovely upside down cottage in a stunning location!”

Had everything we needed and host was very welcoming.

Jemima May 2024

“Lovely property and surroundings; the kids loved the play area too!”

Lots of options to visit different beaches locally or within 30 mins which was great for getting out.

“Nice place and great to have the use of the playground.”

There was a problem with the hot water but it was fixed promptly. The WiFi worked well. But it wasn’t that clean- I had to clean the cutlery drawer and there was a baby chew toy (chewed) in one of the utensil drawers. The bath is cracked. The electric heater in the bunk bed room- the dial comes off. No local footpaths and no pub/cafe to walk to so you’ll be using your car a lot. Other things to feedback are - Washing machine- great to have but the marker on the dial was missing so no idea on what program we had selected! Shower- the electric shower water pressure was very disappointing- not ideal after a wet cold day out! Firewood- so lovely to have the fire but the wood was damp and no access to kindling (would be happy to have paid for this) to assist lighting it. Information folder- very out of date and had info not required including a bin collection schedule from 2017! Would be good to have had some more current info on local attractions such as the Loft in Cardigan (which was great).

- Alice, April 2024

So pleased you enjoyed your holiday and can only apologise for.the niggles - which will be attended to. As we are on a farm the water pressure is what it is and the pub 2 miles away - the joys of the countryside. Property Owner
Rosemary March 2024

“Thank you for a lovely weekend stay at the Granary.”

Very cosy accommodation, very welcome at this time of the year. A wonderful outdoor space around the Granary too, especially for children. I was very impressed with the children’s playground, both the quality and safety of the area was excellent. My granddaughter loved it. Also the children’s playhouse and Bug Hotel ensures plenty of outdoor interaction with the environment for children. Lovely patio area outside the property, which we were lucky enough to be able to use due to an upturn in the weather whilst we were there. I thoroughly recommend a stay at the Granary!

- Rosemary, March 2024

Thank you we are delighted you enjoyed your Easter stay and that you enjoyed some Pembrokeshire sunshine. Property Owner
Deirdre October 2023

“The property was nowhere near as bright and airy as the listing made it appear.”

OK it's a barn conversion and perhaps we should have realised but that isn't how it is portrayed. We couldn't get enough hot water to run to enable us to fill a bath. There was a dishwasher but no tablets and it was not made clear we needed to supply these ourselves. We were requested to leave to place clean but there were no cleaning products to enable us to do this, and certainly not to the standard we would have liked. Leaving only 2 toilet rolls did seem a little mean.

- Deirdre, October 2023

Sorry you were disappointed with your stay - as you say - a barn conversion and on dull days can be a little darker upstairs - you may not realise, as we are in the Pembrokeshire national park the planning authority is strict and insists on the character and original features of such buildings being maintained, hence just traditional windows. Dishwasher tablets are in a covered dish under the sink, we could easily have supplied more, the same with the toilet rolls if either of you had asked. Property Owner
Penny August 2023

“Our host called soon after we arrived to welcome us.”

We knew we could contact him any time which was great. The cottage was everything we could have wished for and the play area was amazing! No complaints at all!

- Penny, August 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback - it’s great to hear you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves . Property Owner

Rural retreat … in pretty surroundings Quiet and relaxed … Helpful but unobtrusive folk around All worked well including the satnav Thanks

- Michael, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback - we are delighted you enjoyed yourselves. There’s plenty to see and do locally - hopefully you will visit again to see more! Property Owner
Carmen May 2023

“Amazing setting, perfect location to get to the numerous beaches and walks.”

Lovely owners that will sort any minor issues straight away. Perfect for our stay, we hope to be back soon.

- Carmen, May 2023

Lovely to meet you all -there’s plenty to do to keep everyone happy - so pleased your football team won ( icing in the cake )! Property Owner
Emma April 2023

“Another wonderful stay at The Granary.”

The location is perfect, and the cottage is well equipped. We had a perfect 2 week stay, and will likely return again.

- Emma, April 2023

Lovely to welcome returning guests - the family certainly seemed to enjoy the woodland play area . Delighted you enjoyed again. Property Owner
Stephen September 2022

“The Granary is just perfect in oh!”

so many ways..... The building is delightful and the accommodation is perfect. We have had the most wonderful stay. Pembrokeshire presented us with a very diverse set of weather conditions and the location of the Granary suited all of them as the perfect Pied a Terre - we had sunshine to stroll along magnificent beaches, heavy rain to encourage us to visit the various towns in the locality (Narberth gave us a fab day of shopping) and high winds which made some parts of the Coast Path very, very exciting indeed (not for the faint-hearted, though). We will most definitely revisit at some time in the future as there is just too much to do and see for just one week and all of it is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you.

- Stephen, September 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your Pembrokeshire holiday and your stay the Granary it’s really cosy, with the thick stone walls etc Thank you for your feedback Property Owner
Michelle August 2022

“Upon arriving in the house we found it very dirty, unclean and very disappointed.”

We called the owner as we could not get any hot water plus mentioned that the kitchen tap had a leak, to which was never repaired. The shower waste was clogged up with hair which we had to clean as the water was not draining. Everything was dirty and dusty, the place felt and smelt of damp. Even putting the wall heaters on didn’t make it any better. A lot of light bulbs had blown and not replaced. The bedding had seen better days and it didn’t seem to bother the owners that Covid was still around as the duvets and mattress protectors looked old. The car park needed sweeping as it had sand/gravel all over which could not be avoided and transferred into the house and car. The kids loved the play area and the gym. The Granary needs a deep clean throughout-and new bedding.

- Michelle, August 2022

Sorry you were disappointed - we did apologise about the hot water when you arrived and explained, previous guests had turned the water heater off when leaving -and we believed the tap had been fixed - it’s a shame you didn’t mention the other points when you were in holidays to allow us to address them - so Pleased you all enjoyed the additional facilities Property Owner
Nicola July 2022

“We really enjoyed our holiday at The Granary.”

The layout and facilities worked well for our group and we had enough space to fit us all in comfortably. The cottage was well equipped with pretty much everything we needed. The location was beautiful and the children absolutely loved the park and play equipment; the picture on the website didn’t show it to its best. The sunflower field was a highlight, especially in the evenings. The only downside was one part of the unmade road near the play park which was very hilly and uneven and we had to drive with a lot of care there.

- Nicola, July 2022
Laura May 2022

“Great holiday house in a beautiful setting.”

Kids really enjoyed using the play area and we all enjoyed the lovely lawn in front of the house. Friendly and helpful owners.

- Laura, May 2022

Nice to meet you - delighted you all enjoyed yourselves. Property Owner
Emma April 2022

“We loved our holiday here, the location was perfect, so long as you don't mind short drives out.”

The cottage itself was well equipped and comfortable. The owners were very helpful when the washing machine broke, thankfully towards the end of our trip. It was well located for Cardigan, St Dogmaels and Newport. We would absolutely return.. Thank you for the most wonderful Easter.

- Emma, April 2022

So glad you enjoyed - apologies about the washing machine - all fixed now (it was only a few months old - these things do happen). You had reasonably good weather which is great for getting out and about. It was good to see everyone enjoying the play area. Property Owner
Debbie December 2021

“We stayed at the Granary from 30/12/2021-06/01/2022 a party of x6 (x4 adults & 2 children aged 14 & 12) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the upside barn was the perfect rural retreat!”

Clean, thoroughly & adequately equipped (even with WiFi that kept up with the two ‘teens!) & cozy / comfortable. It had everything we needed whilst we was there. The weather was fairly mild, but the temperature did drop, so we did get to use the lovely wool burning fire! We visited all the local beaches for some long wintery walks & all main amenities within 20 minute drive. The owners were friendly & helpful & made us feel welcome. We have stayed in many cottages / holiday homes all over for New Year & The Granary was up there as one of our favourites.

- Debbie, December 2021

New Year is always a great time to getaway and recharge your batteries- - delighted to be listed as one of your favourite places to stay - it’s quite a quirky property with the upside down living . Property Owner
Peter October 2021

“Lovely quiet location in a charming barn conversion with a superb family room on the second floor and a well-equipped kitchen but for a missing corkscrew/bottle opener and a rather small cafetiere.”

The kids loved the play area nearby and the fact that there was a pumpkin farm right next door with lots of Halloween features. Very warm, with a highly efficient log burner, which was just right for that wet day playing board games. Perfect if you want to get away from it all and don't mind driving on single-track lanes with high banks and sharp corners. Apparently incomers always reverse for the locals, who seem very friendly.

- Peter, October 2021

So pleased you enjoyed - yourselves - apologies for the corkscrew being missing - we do seem to go through an awful lot of them - I think they get taken outside and then get lost - ( easily done) Property Owner
Janet September 2021

“Beautiful area, fantastic walking on coastal path.”

Cottage very gloomy and dated, desperately needs an update - particularly the bathrooms, which were sadly a bit grubby. On the plus side, modern well equipped kitchen.

- Janet, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback - we have spoken to the cleaners who apologies profusely for any oversights - we only wish you had mentioned your concerns whist on holiday so we could have rectified them. Regarding the hand held shower over the bath unfortunately there is little that can be done as we are in the countryside and do not have the same water pressure that is enjoyed in towns and cities. Property Owner

“We stayed at the granary in August 2021 and had a lovely holiday.”

A well equipped clean lovely cottage with good facilities. Fabulous safe outside space for my young grandchildren with lovely play areas.

So pleased you enjoyed the space inside and outside - it’s lovely to see the children enjoying the space and freedom Property Owner

“The place was great.”

We loved everything about it. It was clean, warm, cozy, looked exactly as on the pictures, very well equipped and furnished, nice fire place and decent wi-fi too. Location was good, 15 min drive to the supermarket. Great views around. Greetings to the host! Very nice man. We highly recommend and we will be back!

Amit April 2021

“The stay was very enjoyable.”

We were just a little disappointed by the photos showing there is a gym and when we got there we couldn't use this. Also the kids play house parts were not in the garden how the photos showed. We thought we had the full cottage but it was two cottages in the photo. But farmer and wife were very accommodating kind and helpful. The area was perfect. We enjoyed our time very much. Thank you Jai and family
