Snaptrip says
Goldcrest is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a welcome bottle of wine, though these are not guaranteed. The proximity to town and coastal paths is a highlight, as is the relaxing sound of the stream. The secure garden is a hit with pet owners, and the property's retro charm adds to the overall experience.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning how clean and well-maintained the bungalow is upon arrival. There was, however, a single mention of some areas not meeting the standard, which slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to the town, beaches, and coastal paths. The ease of access to local amenities and the peaceful setting contribute to the high score.
The property is frequently described as comfortable and well-appointed. However, a few guests mentioned issues with bed comfort and a lack of oven gloves, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are generally regarded as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. Some minor issues with appliances and maintenance are noted, such as difficulty with the microwave and a problem with the shower, which affects the score.
Many guests mention the thoughtful gestures of wine, cheese straws, and fresh flowers, which are greatly appreciated. It is important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture from the owners and may not be provided on every occasion.
About this property
This welcoming two bedroom bungalow has private and spacious gardens and is located at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac near the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The seaside town of Newport/Trefdraeth has Carningli Mountain (The Mount of Angels), the medieval church and beautiful, privately-owned castle as a backdrop. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is less than 5 minutes' walk away at the Iron Bridge on the upper reaches of the river Nevern estuary where many different varieties of wading birds are spotted daily. Goldcrest is just a few minutes' walk from a butcher, baker, deli, general store and a selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants serving excellent food. Also within walking distance of the cottage is Parrog beach and Traeth Mawr - the 'big beach' which is a 20-minute walk along the coast path (or 3 miles by road) and offers a mile and a half of silver sand with rock pools, dunes and cliffs, backed by the 18-hole links golf course. This cottage is perfect for a couple or a small family at any time of the year.
Newport is a beautiful coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south west Wales lying on the River Nevern with a selection of shops, pubs, tea rooms, plus an excellent golf course overlooking the sea as well as a lovely sheltered harbour. Newport lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which is renowned worldwide for its unique landscape and wonderful opportunities to go dolphin and seal spotting. Wonderful coastal walks along the path or in the nearby Preseli Hills with the ever changing scenery are a walkers dream all year round. Learn about history when you visit the mills, craft centres and castles dotted around the county or spend a day at the wonderful Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort where you can learn hands on all about living during that time. See the majestic Shire Horses at the Shire Horse Farm or spend relaxing days on the huge choice of beautiful sandy beaches. All year round this is a perfect location for all the family.
