While Pembrokeshire does offer public transport options, including local bus services and the Fflecsi on-demand bus service, we highly recommend having your vehicle during your visit. This will allow you to fully explore and appreciate the diverse attractions and natural beauty that Pembrokeshire has to offer at your own pace. Relying solely on public transport may limit your ability to reach some of the more secluded and picturesque spots in the region.

While this offers the convenience of enjoying a meal or drink just next door, please be aware that there may be occasional ambient noise; however, it is not expected to affect your stay.

We provide all bed linens and towels; however, we kindly ask that the towels remain at the cottage and are not taken to the beach.​

The cottage is equipped with Wi-Fi, ensuring you can stay connected during your visit.​

We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs per booking. To maintain the quality of our accommodation, please ensure you clean up after your pets and keep them off the furniture.
