Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property clean, while others reported dust, cobwebs, and a musty smell. The floors were noted as dirty by one guest, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to walks, the coast, and the town of Newport. The area is described as lovely and perfect for exploring South Wales & Pembrokeshire.
Comfort receives mixed feedback. Guests are pleased with the spaciousness and the sit-down shower for those with limited mobility. However, several guests mention that the sofas and mattresses are worn and uncomfortable.
The kitchen is well-equipped and modern, but there are reports of worn furniture and issues with maintenance such as broken tiles and a non-functional vacuum cleaner. Some facilities like the bathroom are noted as needing updates.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
Ty Felin is a wheelchair friendly property and the owner has renovated the building with thought and care, including access for disabled users and a wheelchair accessible shower.
This converted stone barn is situated on a small farm within walking distance of the town of Newport and the beaches of Parrog and Aber Rhigian both of which are on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
Newport is filled with stone and colour washed cottages which look out over Newport Bay, making it very picturesque. There are many pubs, cafes, galleries, shops including post office, chemist, butcher, wholefood shop, convenience store, hardware store and antique shop in the town.
This property really does occupy a great location. Activities available locally include golf, sea fishing and angling on the Nevern river, bicycle hire, walking, horse riding, boating and sailing.
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.

Modern up-to-date kitchen with plenty of kitchen ware, crockery and cutlery. Beds comfortable. The bathroom needs updating but I understand this is being addressed. Very quiet location with easy access to Newport. I would be very happy to recommend Ty Felin as a perfect family cottage.

Mop is tired & old & bucket has no section to wring out mop. Floors very dirty. We bought mop, bucket & flash anti-bac cleaner (all taken with us on leaving). Cleaned floor 4 times to get to acceptable level. Dusty & cobweb ridden throughout. Carpets are filthy - we photographed numerous stains & emailed to Sykes to ensure owner couldn't suggest it was us. Property smelt very musty. Bedding damp (we had fortunately brought a throw as tend to find duvets too hot). Sprayed lots of Febreze (bought a number of cans) & aired as much as we could, but still smelly & all clothing taken (& throw) has had to be washed on return as now also smelly (including everything washed there). Tiles in bathroom loose & broken, which we could see reported in visitor book back in July, yet still unresolved. Hoover was also reported as broken in July, but we found it in same state - not working, full of filth & no wheels. Disappointing that issues reported are left unresolved. Had a courtesy call from Sykes early in week & reported all issues. We did have an issue with fumes from boiler during the holiday & unfortunately the owner was very dismissive, even offering to supply number of plumber rather than call himself. We can tell difference between spilt fuel smell & burnt fuel fumes - also no smell until Thursday evening, so odd that we wouldn't smell it sooner, when room in question was used daily. Property could be great, but these issues let it down.

He was also about during our stay and was helpful with our queries. Cottage is in a super area, within walking distance of a small cove, coastal footpath, Carningli (nearby hilltop) and Newport. Good dog walking. The cottage is well equipped but cleaning products for the kitchen and bathroom would have been helpful. We were a party of 3 adults, 3 dogs and a toddler. We enjoyed a walk round Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve near Cardigan. We loved the bay beyond Bryn-henllan where there is parking and the pub (Old Sailors) is good for coffee as well as a beer. Talking about beer... there are three breweries not far away; Mantel Brewery (Cardigan), Bluestone Brewing Co (Cilgwyn) and Gwaun Valley Brewery (Pontfaen). Products sampled!
