Family Easter Holiday

The property was great and we had a great time only marked down on cleanliness as we assumed the house must have been closed up for a while as there was a strong damp smell on arrival which reduced but lasted for few days but the actual house and facilities were very clean and tidy. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic home away from home

Brilliant property in a quiet Welsh village. Perfect home away from home. All 6 of us 4 humans and 2 fur babies had a wonderful week. The property had all the necessities needed for the week long stay, we had milk and a bottle of lovely white wine in the fridge. Very clean and cozy property. We will certainly go back

Pencaer review

Lovely comfortable and well-appointed property in a very quiet location amongst fabulous coastal scenery. Even though St Nicholas is a very quiet village it is near to lovely beaches and places of interest across North Pembrokeshire all within easy reach.

St Nicholas

We loved being able to eat our evening meals outside at the picnic table. The garden was private and inside there was plenty of seating. We do jigsaw puzzles so great to have enough tables. Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most days. Also 2 bathrooms was useful. You can walk to a beach but good to have a car as well as the village is quite remote. Plenty to do only short car rides away.

LOVELY HOUSE

Enjoyed our holiday. Good quality furnishings. Well presented, well equipped and homely. Close to routes to our favourite places and discovered new delights. Found steep stairs a bit challenging as we live in a bungalow. Garden very pretty, peaceful and interesting and gets lots of sunshine, which we certainly enjoyed.

A perfect place to be

Very nice, spacious, extremely well equipped, clean and tastefully decorated place that fulfills every expectation. Just a short walk (1h) to a calm sandy beach (watch the tide) and cliffs. We can recommend that home without any constraint. Makes you feel at home on an instant.

a peaceful week in a beautiful Pembrokeshire home

We were looking for a place to escape to for a week, and this was perfect. The cottage was clean and fresh with a beautiful mix of the old and new. Everything we needed was provided, and the location was ideal for local walks and to explore the wider countryside of northern and central Pembrokeshire. Air hockey table/pool table was a real bonus! Very comfortable, very relaxing, very quiet. There is a rookery nearby but they settled down and slept each night . Definitely want to come back.

fantastic

I can't praise this cottage enough, from the seaside theme to everything provided. We had a fab time with the dogs and lovely beaches nearby. The beaches were clean no rubbish stuck between sea weed and pebbles, spotless and breath taking views. I'm going to book again . P.S. even storm Eunice couldn't spoil our week.

Great stay

We were back at the cottage for our second stay this Winter, and it was wonderful to go back to after a stressful day of house renovations, warm and welcoming. We have now moved into another holiday rental in Fishguard, definitely not a patch on Myn y Ffordd, many thanks Lynne

We are busy refurbishing our new home in Fishguard and have been staying at Min y Ffordd, for a few weeks, and lucky enough to be returning for the whole of January. I have never stayed at a cleaner cottage, also very warm, and very comfortable beds, perfect, many thanks, Joanna and Richard

Fantastic cottage!

Perfect little cottage! Tastefully and beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We had a lovely week exploring the dramatic Pembrokeshire coastline and all its gorgeous beaches. The house was a great location- although very remote (which didn't bother us!)

Lovely cottage in a quiet location

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is in a very quiet location but is reasonably close to Fishguard for shops/restaurants and various beaches etc. The house is very tastefully finished with all the mod cons you need for a holiday. Nice kitchen and plenty of living space. The garden catches lots of sun. The games room is excellent - pool, table tennis, air hockey, etc. Communication with the owner was easy and timely. We would definitely recommend the property.
