We don't charge a cleaning or pet fee, but there is a small charge for more than 4 guests, to cover extra laundry, cleaning, etc. COVID-19 If you cannot start your booking due to a government-imposed lockdown, either in Wales, or the rest of the UK or overseas (note that Welsh lockdown rules and dates may differ from England etc.), we will agree to a refund if you request this through Airbnb. Alternatively we will agree to delay your stay to a later date (if available) at our listed prices. We cannot be liable or responsible if any of your group has to isolate. We strongly recommend, in any case, that you put in place suitable travel insurance. The owners live in the nearby farmhouse. We are on hand to provide help and advice. In addition, a full guest information guide is provided. The cottage has a private outlook across the fields, with no near neighbours (apart from the owners' neighbouring farmhouse, a short distance away, behind the cottage - the 2 properties are separated by gardens and trees, so each retains privacy). There is little or no traffic noise, as there are no nearby public roads. You will find a variety of birds will visit, including woodpeckers and goldfinches. In the evening you may see or hear the local Tawny and Little owls, and also see bats flit about. There is a good local network of signposted footpaths and bridleways, ideal for walking the dog. A local footpath brings you to an ancient "cromlech" burial tomb half a mile away, with panoramic views to the south. The wider area has lots to offer, including fantastic cliff top walks along the iconic coastal path, or enjoy a tranquil stroll around the nearby secluded backwaters of the tidal Cleddau river (part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park). Just a short drive away are the picturesque harbour towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot, offering unblemished beaches, irresistible restaurants, art galleries and thrilling leisure parks. Take a trip to Skomer island, and see the comical puffins in the nesting season. Visit the small city of St David’s, which features the iconic 12th-century cathedral, or take a sea safari around the magnificent island of Ramsey and get up close to seals, sea birds and the occasional dolphin.
