Guest testimonials about this cottage
We had three generations in four of the Cwm Connell cottages, and also took the barn. It was all terrific – the cottages are extremely well set up and presented, and very comfortable. Alex and Emma were brilliant hosts – all possible requirements were looked after with charm and grace!
It was our second visit to wonderful Cwm Connell Cottages and everything was as perfect as we remembered. Our cottage was beautifully set up for us. The Spring flowers from the garden and fields, the delicious local apple juice and honey and bread to enjoy while settling in, the anticipation of the log fire in the evening. Heaven. And then the walks and swimming on that bracingly beautiful coast, with the views to eternity. Great local restaurants and places to visit. If you are looking for a transforming holiday experience that comes from being incredibly comfortable, in step with nature and in a landscape that touches at the soul you will find this at Alex and Emma’s Cwm Connell Cottages.
Just a magical place. Beautiful boutique standard cottages in a fabulous setting. Great hosts, fantastic holiday. Would highly recommend. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Truly comfortable and really enjoyable.
A truly dog friendly holiday cottage. No we don’t just mean they allow dogs. From the complimentary dog treats to the additional dog towels and blankets in the cottage when we arrived, everything was as easy is it could be. The secure dog paddock was perfect for that early morning toilet trip and the suggested walks made it really easy to get out and explore.
The closest beach is dog friendly so the whole family can swim. Each cottage has a secure patio so you can eat outside without having to police your dog and worry they might escape. We did some lovely walks along the Pembrokeshire Coastal path and were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals. If you’re into star gazing on a clear night the sky is incredible.
Emma the owner was very helpful and trust me she will make sure it will be your best holiday ever.
I stayed with friends for 4 nights in one of the very pretty traditional cottages at Cwm Connell. Despite being winter we were warm and cozy with very efficient heating and a lovely friendly log burner in the sitting room. Every need was catered for in the cottage, the kitchen is well laid out and stocked with all the cooking equipment needed for a proper self catering holiday. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Parking is conveniently located close to the accommodation but not overlooked.
The views are absolutely breath taking. The light is beautiful. The coast is rugged and the forests are fairy glens.
