We can recommend going to the Ship inn and the local craft shop, also Porthgain well worth a visit and walk to blue lagoon before returning for posh fish and chips from the shed, didn’t get a chance to sample the Sloop in but looked great. Would return to the cottage most happily

“Lovely cottage in a nice quiet village, great local pub with good food and drinks.”

Close to coastal path, with a bay 10 mins away, and central to a lot of interesting places to visit.

“A comfortable, very clean, and very well equipped cottage in a lovely Welsh village within a short walking distance of the spectacular Coastal Path and within easy reach by car of the lovely city of St.”

Davids. Only a short walk to the village pub, which was welcoming and served good pub food; a short drive away, and not to be missed, is The Shed at Porthgain with its excellent 'posh' fish and chips.

“We have just spent a week in this lovely, well equipped traditional cottage in the friendly village of Trefin.”

The welcome Welsh cakes & Bara Brith were delicious and a nice touch. We stayed at this cottage in Sept 2023 also and we loved our stay and the local area so much we booked again. The cottage has everything you need and was clean and comfortable throughout. The outside space has good seating and table which we enjoyed with the dry weather. There is also ample, good dining space inside. Kitchen is light and airy with plenty of equipment all in good working order. The shower is powerful and lovely after miles of walking the costal path. The stunning costal path is minutes away on foot. The Ship Inn, Trefin does good food and drink, and the staff are very friendly. We enjoyed good food also at The Sloop Inn & The Shed, Porthgain. Lots of useful info about the area in a well organised folder provided by the owner. Thank you. We will be back!! Elaine and Mark

Dear Elaine and Mark, thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m so glad the sun shone for you. I look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kate Property Owner

“Unfortunately the cottage was unclean.”

There were lots of dog hairs present throughout the property, the toilet wasn't cleaned properly, the bedrooms and kitchen very dusty and cobwebs in most corners. Dishes and glasses had not been washed in a long time. The beds were uncomfortable, sink in in the middle and slats were missing and ancient pillows. The dining table is an old garden table with accompanying chairs which were not comfortable. All cupboards are filled with stuff and it seems disorganised and messy. Garden inaccessible due to being unkept. This cottage has a lot of potential, but needs a very good clean and tidy and perhaps some updating. Currently not really value for money.

- Peter, May 2024

Dear Peter, I am sorry that you do not feel the cottage was up to standard. We will take on board your comments, which do not reflect other guests feedback. The cottage is cleaned thoroughly at each changeover, pillows were new this season, the table is an antique dining table not garden furniture and the cupboard full of children's toys is generally appreciated by guests.

“Pant y FFynnon is a very nice two bedroom cottage situated in Trefin, just a few miles north of St David's and reasonably situated for those wishing to walk the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.”

The village has a good pub which serves a range of meals. The cottage is well appointed with comfortable beds, a good kitchen and a good wifi internet connection. It is warm and the settees are comfortable. I would certainly wish to stay there again. I suppose the only drawback was that the lavatory, washing area and excellent large shower is downstairs. This caused us no great difficulty.

“We had a fabulous stay.”

Like a home from home. The cottage was cosy, well furnished and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we did light the woodburner on one evening which was lovely. Cottage is in a very friendly village with easy access to stunning coastline. The local pub did great food and drink and the staff were lovely and welcoming. We walked the coastal path following routes given in the information pack and the OS maps were very useful when out in the car. One very small minor detail, I couldn't find a hairdryer but it wasn't a problem and I will take one next time as we are definitely going back next year. We relaxed, walked for miles, visited local places and beaches, saw lots of seals in remote coves, enjoyed local food and drink and had a great time. What more could you want from a holiday. Thank you.

“Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage for the week.”

Literally had everything you could need and all easy to use. What a beautiful area it is. Very well located for amazing coastal walks and runs. Would definitely recommend.

Carolyn June 2023

“Lovely stay, but there were issues that were not fixed locally whilst we were there that could have been.”

The TV did not work (after several attempts & the help of a relative via WotsApp), it was still not resolved. The main oven did not work and there was an issue with the front door latch. It ok getting into the property, but we had to use the back door to get out. If these problems had all been fixed by the manager of the property, we would have given this a 5. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved before the next holiday makers arrive.

“We loved our stay, photos don’t do it justice.”

Beds were so comfy, though the bedding was too warm for the (unprecedented) hot weather! We loved all the games and books, a nice suprise for our little one. Kitchen was really well stocked. Thank you

“We enjoyed our stay in this sweet old cottage Very convenient for our coastal path walks and trips to nearby St Davids , Pothhgain , and all the really good art galleries , potteries and woolen mills in the area.”

Many thanks !

Gerald September 2022

“A nice spacious and comfortable cottage, good beds, good shower, parking is just up the road which works fine.”

The cottage is a great base for a walking holiday with good walking directly from the cottage and St David's, Solva and Fishguard just a short drive away.

Peter June 2022

“Good welcoming arrangements and we were impressed that Kate texted us on the morning after our arrival to check that we had settled in satisfactorily.”

The cottage is very well-equipped and in a good location. Excellent wi-fi and very friendly neighbours plus in the Ship Inn where the view from the beer garden is to die for!

Martin April 2022

“A classic Welsh cottage and very comfortable.”

- Martin, April 2022
Mary April 2022

“What a lovely place to stay - white bedding and fluffy white towels.”

Kitchen is equipped with everything that you need( including milk and welshcakes). It’s just 5 minutes walk to the coastal path where you can head north to Abercastle or head south to Porthgain and Abereiddi. Plenty of books and games also available in the cottage - so relax and enjoy. Excellent communication from owner.

Highly recommended.

Becky October 2021

“A lovely cosy cottage in a perfect location.”

The cottage is very spacious with a large open plan living area but is also cosy with it's low beams, log burning stove & comfy sofas. The kitchen was very well equipped (much better than most holiday homes) & the whole cottage was immaculately clean. The children loved the room with bunk beds & the main bedroom is beautiful with high ceilings & a very comfy king size bed. There is a lot of really useful information about the area kept in the cottage, with some beautiful walks right on the doorstep. Lovely to be able to be on the coast path within a few minutes of leaving the cottage & the views are breathtaking. Our favourite walk was across the headland to Porth Gain & the Sloop Inn. The children loved crabbing in Solva Harbour & bodyboarding at Whitesands beach in St Davids.

- Becky, October 2021
Peter October 2021

“Lots of information beforehand so we knew what to expect, especially at this time re Covid measures.”

A lovely cottage with plenty of room and everything we needed. An ideal location for walking the coast paths.

- Peter, October 2021
Cuan September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage is well placed for access to the Coastal Path and even if the pub in the village doesn't look exciting, The Sloop in Porthgain and The Shed just a mile or so away friendly and buzzing.”

The café in the village is pleasant enough and cooks a good full breakfast. The cottage is on the village road but very little passing traffic and there is a small outside area with table and chairs etc (the vegetation could do with a trim). Easy off road just 50 yards away, the cottage itself is cosy and well equipped and more spacious than we had anticipated. A couple of low beams are really not a problem and there is heaps of useful info left in the cottage as well as games, books etc. For our purposes, a comfortable base from which to explore the area, walking and cycling, it was perfect.

- Cuan, September 2021
Catherine September 2021

“We enjoyed our stay in this lovely old cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean & well furnished, the kitchen was well stocked & the heating system good. Reassuring Covid safety measures had been taken. Trefin is in an ideal location close to the coastal path but quiet & peaceful. We would definitely stay there again.

- Catherine, September 2021
David July 2021

“The cottage was beautifully presented and scrupulously clean.”

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come again!

- David, July 2021
Shaun July 2021

“Bathroom is located downstairs & no mention of this in cottage description.”

Not ideal for elderly people. Low ceilings downstairs & coming down the stairs. If over 5ft 5 ins tall, you need to remember.

- Shaun, July 2021

Thank you for your comments. The shower room is downstairs as stated in the property description. As a character property there are two low beams, one over the stairs and one between the kitchen and dining area. The sitting room is also beamed but with sufficient room for 6 footers and the remaining rooms have high vaulted ceilings. Property Owner
Llinos June 2021

“The property is in serious need of updating and upgrading.”

Furniture is old and very worn and cleanliness was an issue . Very disappointed in our stay

- Llinos, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you felt that the property was outdated. The furniture is in keeping with the age and style of the property. A new sofa however, will arrive this week. We would have welcomed the chance to respond to any cleaning concerns you had during your stay and if you had contacted us, such issues would have been addressed at the time. Thank you once again for your feedback. Property Owner
Joan June 2021

“The description and photo did not truly reflect its situation.”

Cottage on road and one of a row of houses looking onto other properties on the opposite side of road. Outside space was back of property but no privacy space, adjoined to next property and overlooked by parking area of other properties and other houses. Warning should have been given for low ceilings and stairs awkward for less able especially when toilet was downstairs. It was only after I had booked that information was given that there was no parking near the property but had to park in car park 3 properties up and not in view of house.

- Joan, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We do feel that the situation of the property is clearly depicted in the website images. The ground floor shower room with walk-in shower, basin and wc is also listed correctly. The car park is a couple of doors down from the property and this is also listed for viewers. Based on your feedback, you will see that a warning has now been added on the website, with regard to the low beam on the staircase. Thank you once again for your feedback. Property Owner
John October 2020

“We found a very large folder with local information on places to eat, walks etc which was very useful.”

There was also milk and biscuits on our arrival which was a nice gesture. This is our first holiday with Sykes and would certainly recommend others to use this company (it was recommended to us by a friend).

- John, October 2020
Adrian September 2020

“We all had a lovely few days at Pant y Ffynnon.”

The cottage was very well equipped, clean and is in an excellent location for exploring all the local area has to offer. We were kept well informed about the cottage and the area by the owner Kate and property manager Collette. Also all the extra precautions were very well catered for regarding Covid. Hope to be back in the future. Many thanks Adrian

Jen September 2020

“This cottage is beautifully situated.”

It is only a short 50m walk from a gorgeous woodland footpath which leads down to a stunning cove. While we visited we were lucky enough to watch a seal bobbing around in the water for a couple of hours. It has a comprehensive range of cooking equipment and the furniture and beds are comfortable. We will definitely be back!

About the location

ST DAVIDS

Fishguard 15.5 miles; Pembroke 28.7 miles.

The city of St Davids is situated on the far south west coast of Wales. Granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II, it is the smallest city in the UK, with its magnificent cathedral dating back to the 12th century and the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, both wonderful buildings to explore. Situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, St Davids is a delightful place with an array of unique shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs, surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery. Nearby Whitesands Bay is one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, and walkers will delight in the spectacular views from the coastal path which runs around the complete coastline of Pembrokeshire. Local buses will help with your walking plans, so that you can walk several stretches of the path with totally different landscapes and views each day. Dolphin spotting from land or from the many boat trips to local islands are a must, and are also perfect for enjoying the wonderful array of birds in their natural habitat. St Davids is the perfect holiday destination, whether you are looking for a quiet relaxing break, wonderful walking, a round of golf, an exploration of magnificent castles or fun-filled days at Oakwood Theme Park, farm parks and much more.

Please be aware of the low beams on the staircase and between the kitchen and dining area.
