Built in 1864, this welcoming, end-of-terrace Victorian cottage is situated in a idyllic, tranquil position in the popular Pembrokeshire village of St. Dogmaels. The cottage is ideally located in the heart of the village with magnificent, ever-changing views of the estuary from the bedrooms and garden.

A separate cloak room, flooded with natural light, provides a useful storage area. Upstairs, there are two stunning bedrooms with spectacular estuary views and stripped wooden floorboards. There is an abundance of light and original features such an antique white cast-iron bed, a, a lime-washed feature wall, carefully chosen lighting and an original fireplace. Outside, there are three different areas to relax in, including the back garden with it’s spectacular view of the estuary.

The property was comfortable and well equipped with a nice view over the estuary from the bedroom. The only thing to note was that access is via a steep footpath which whilst not an issue for us it is worth noting for those with mobility issues. Overall a good base for exploring the area

Pleasant stay
My family and I had a lovely stay. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and the bedding and towels were clean and fresh. Finding the property was ok as my wife had been on Google Maps before hand and had worked out it probably had access issues, in that you have to park in the street below and the property is accessed by a steep public path. Also, no instructions were received from VRBO for arrival arrangements and I had to email the owner. The address couldn't be found on my sat nav, but it turned out the owner had given me the wrong house number. So going on my wife's info I basically tried the house she thought it was and was successful. I initially parked up as per suggestion in the 'Welcome Book', but the next door neighbour asked me to move, saying it was her parking space (nothing appeared to be designated), so wanting to keep the peace I moved my car further down the road... not an issue. St Dogmaels is a great area and in close proximity to many picturesque beaches and places of interest. We had lovely meals in both The Ferry Inn and White Hart. The owner expresses the issues with the rear garden and I concur it is very steep but the views are spectacular. I would conclude due to the positioning of the cottage and the rear garden the property the rental cost is about right. I would gladly revisit.

Beautiful setting and lovely cottage
A very sweet cottage, with gorgeous views of the Estuary and Cardigan. The village in St Dogmaels is gorgeous, and handy for local beaches (the Ferry Inn with seats over the estuary and the local chippie are not to be missed!). The cottage is cosy, comfy and clean and the views from the garden are exceptional! As Jo says in her description, the garden isn't suitable for kids but it's incredible for the grown ups to enjoy! The cottage has everything you need for your stay, and Jo was a great host and communicator. Thanks for a great stay Jo, we'd love to return one day.

Lovely quaint cottage
Lovely quaint cottage in a quiet area, spectacular views. Really nice property which was nice and cool on the hot summer days. Situated in a lovely part of the world, not too far from nice beaches as well. Never know, might come back soon.

Perfect spot for us and a very helpful host
The property is just gorgeous, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Our host was exceptionally helpful. Checkin and out were easy. I wouldn’t recommend this spot for people with very young children or anyone unsteady on their feet. My ageing knees grumbled at the (very short) walk up from the car but not enough to put me off coming here again. There’s no dedicated parking spot but we managed to find one ok. The local chippy is amazing! And there’s a handy local shop and a Tesco in nearby Cardigan. Some great beaches to choose from nearby and lots of other things to explore.

So... I'm a busy working parent who doesn't like technology..! Why mention this? To explain why I'm sometimes slow to respond to requests... I do get there eventually though.. I hope that you will see from my reviews that I'm friendly and helpful - just not always online:-)
