The Old Dairy Reviews

Lauren
We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Dairy. A beautifully scenic location with a relaxing hot tub in the garden. Llys y Fran reservoir is not too far away. We also visited the local milk farm and had fresh milk everyday! We also drove along the coast and were met with mesmerising views out to sea. There is so much more to visit in the area so The Old Dairy is a perfect location for a countryside stay. We will definitely be returning to stay in the future. This location is dog friendly also and our dog Scooby really settled in and felt at home. Thank you for accommodating us, I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family.
Stewart
The old dairy is a fabulous place to stay, it is worth 5 plus stars as the dairy is immaculate both inside and out and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. We met Mark the owner who kindly gave us a run down of what was there to use and inside is a detailed welcome pack of things to do plus all the facilities inside at your disposal. The dairy is quite rural and peaceful which we loved and set in a lovely location and not far from the many places you can visit. One feature we loved after a hectic day out and about is the hot tub this just adds to the stay and was so refreshing. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return sometime soon hopefully. Stewart & Michelle
David k
An amazing cottage in lovely rural setting. Id highly recommend it
Amazing stay and owners Mark & Alison couldnt do enough for us and made our stay perfect.
Had a wonderful stay in the old dairy. After arriving early was greeted by the owner mark who was more than welcoming and allowed me to enter earlier than advertised. The cottage was amazing and very clean. The attention to detail was perfect. We had an amazing welcome pack containing milk eggs fresh from a local dairy farm,plus cookies and other treats. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything you needed. We have a large dog who enjoyed the very secure garden. The hot tub was amazing with lovely views to watch the sun go down. Once again an amazing property which has had great pride taken on it. Would definitely recommend to stay. Every thing you need is only a short drive away ie supermarkets and beaches which there are many to choose from.
What a gem of a place. A lovely warm Welsh welcome with a beautiful welcome pack. Hosts very welcoming, It is instantly clear they are passionate about the Old Dairy and want your stay to be perfect. Great facilities beautiful sunsets from the hot tub. Would definitely return and recommend.
We have just got back from a 3 night stay and didnt want to leave! The views from the property were stunning. The home was incredibly well equipped. Both the cottage and garden were immaculately clean and tidy. The hosts were very friendly and ever so helpful! We were made to feel very welcome and instantly felt comfortable and relaxed! The welcome basket was delicious, such a lovely thing to offer. The info pack was informative and we found some great ideas for days out, close by. Having the separate utility room was useful with a young family and the Hot Tub was a perfect addition in the glorious weather we lucked out with! We will 100 be booking again!
We had a marvellous 4 night stay at the Old Dairy. It is a gorgeous little property in an ideal location for getting out and exploring the many gems that the area has to offer. The owners Mark and Alison were lovely and couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful during our break Alison's homemade welsh cakes and cookies in the welcome basket were a particular delight!. The cottage itself is absolutely spotless and has everything you could need for a relaxing break including the very clean hot tub that was ideal for winding down long days of sightseeing. We made some special family memories at the Old Dairy and all agreed that we can't wait to go back again!
Isobel
We were very happy with the cottage which was very clean and comfortable. The supply of a welcome pack was much appreciated, especially the local milk! The house was very well equipped. A very minor suggestion would be the supply of a bread bin. I kept forgetting which cupboard I'd put the breadcake etc in! Altogether it was just a lovely spot to stay comfortable, relaxing and beautiful surroundings. Absolutely ideal for cycling!
Christine
We had a great stay. Alison and Mark were excellent hosts. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Cottage had eveything we needed. Enjoyed the hot tub every evening after a day of exploring this lovely part of Pembrokeshire
Sallie
We really enjoyed our bank holiday weekend everything was perfect even the weather. Very kind of the owners to leave us an arrival hamper with freshly baked cookies & Welsh cakes. Beautiful cottage & the hot tub was so relaxing with lovely views. Highly recommend the old Dairy and will definitely be returning again soon.
Joanne
We had a lovely few days, only fault was the weather, which no one can control. The area is beautiful and the property was one of the best we have stayed in. Thank you Mark and Alison
Jacqueline
A fantastic cottage in the middle of no where. Stunning views, with a field next door for the dog to have a run in. Hot tub was amazing. Lovely welcome note and basket. Mark and Alison are wonderful hosts, and meet Mom on our departure who was equally as lovely.
A lovely, home from home feel with everything you need. Mark & Alison are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. The location is actually very useful 3040 mins to N, W and S beaches and things to do and sitting in the jacuzzi after a day out, looking over the fab view and the very clear stars was brilliant. Local pub, milk were great. Dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend.
This place is a dream! Beautifully decorated, with everything you would need and more. Very friendly and generous hosts. Its in the middle of nowhere but short distance to all the places of interest and we had the best night sleep there. Hot tub is super relaxing and waking up overlooking the fields with a cup of complimentary coffee is heaven. We will be back!
Andrew
We have stayed in quite a few places now and this one was the best . The pictures of the property were up to date and very accurate the house were very helpful and very nice. It had everything we needed on site and more.
Amazing property with good views. The little touches that made it perfect for a week away.
Stephen
A wonderful cottage located in a very quiet, picturesque part of Pembrokeshire. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Everything you would need provided and spotlessly clean. Didnt use the hot tub but can imagine that it would have been great as well. Very friendly, helpful owners. Visited St Davids 40 mins away, Tenby 35 mins, beautiful beaches at Poppit Sands near Cardigan and at Broad Haven which our dog loved. Saundersfoot also lovely. Everyone was so friendly, we had a great week.
Teresa
Beautiful, clean and well provided for cottage. Loved the welcome basket and the hot tub especially. Really peaceful setting which was much needed! Great beaches nearby and enjoyed the activities at Llys y Fran.
A really lovely stay with a friendly welcome.
Fantastic hosts, property & stay. Hosts went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. Really lovely views from the enclosed garden & hot tub. It's at the top of the valley so can be breezy so take a hat if you need a bit of shade like me. A couple of miles from the beautiful Llysyfran Reservoir with lots of activities and great food in the cafe. Enjoyed renting the electric bikes even in the pouring rain! Sykes sent me a lot of info saying to take tea towels, oven gloves, bin bags and lots of other things, but this was unnecessary as everything was provided. In fact hosts had generously provided a welcome basket including local milk, biscuits, Welsh cakes, marmalade & tea and coffee. Highly recommended!
Lovely spotless property, nice central location to visit everywhere in the area . Would highly recommend to anyone.
We had a fantastic stay at The Old Dairy the house, the location all perfect!
Lovely location,ideal for exploring local beaches etc. Cottage was spotless and had everything needed for a relaxing weekend.
Absolutely beautiful hidden gem. Really home from home experience. Beautiful welcome basket and treats for our dog. He loved it there also! Hottub was a great touch, somewhere to relax and watch the sunset. Just perfection. Highly recommend!!
A lush three days. . just wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks Mark! Sorry to mark down on the recommend question you and the property couldnt be faulted, but dealing with Sykes or Yikes, as we ended up calling them! meant I needed a holiday by the time I got there...
Lovely property, spotlessly clean with very good facilities. Location ideal for exploring local sites followed by relax in the Hot Tub. Owners very friendly, keep themselves private and do not bother you, but are always around if you need anything. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This property is absolutely amazing! Its super clean at first I was a bit hesitant as pets are allowed and although I did bring my frenchie I did think the property may smell like other pets but I was delightfully surprised. The owners are friendly and helpful, Mark welcomed us into the property, helped us with the hot tub and was available if we needed him.
Fabulous place, lovely owners, everything you need is in the cottage. Beautifully clean and maintained, nice little touch with complimentary biscuits mince pies and fresh milk in the fridge. Would definitely stay again if down that way and recommend to anybody.
Angharad
What a beautiful property in a stunning setting! The cottage is immaculate and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Mark came to introduce himself to us and went through any essentials we needed to know. The hottub was lovely and over looking the locals sheep. A basket of local goodies and fresh milk from the local diary were a nice touch. We will definitely return again.
The Old Dairy was exactly as shown on the website. Mark and Alison were very welcoming and made sure every thing was to our satisfaction. They quickly secured a gap in the fencing so that our dog couldnt get into the garden next door. Would recommend staying at this property for a very pleasant stay
We chose The Old Dairy for a peaceful honeymoon break and it was amazing! The cottage was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. After days out, coming back to relax in the hot tub was perfect. We would highly recommend The Old Dairy and will definitely be returning.
Nicholas
What a place! A real gem out in the middle of the beautiful Welsh countryside. The views are stunning, especially from the hot tub as the sun is going down! Everywhere is easy to get to from this central hub. The owners are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble but at the same time they won't keep bugging you even though they're right next door . Places like this are the reason I don't go abroad anymore. We have so much to offer in the UK. I would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone who wants somewhere quiet and comfortable with superb facilities to hand.
Natasha
Me and my family had the most amazing time at the old dairy, we would recommend ...

Christine
The cottage was great with amazing views. The owners were extremely welcoming and left us a lovely welcome basket. We will definitely return again. Stunning location and visited so many beautiful places all within 50 minutes drive. Pat and Fred were lovely and wish we had spent more time with them.
The cottage is in a beautiful location. It is spotlessly clean, has great facilities and is very comfortable. On arrival we received a welcome pack with homemade Welsh cakes and cookies, milk from a local farm marmalade from a local producer and freshly laid eggs from the owners hens. This was very kind and special. We stayed for a week and it was a great base for exploring Pembrokeshire. We would highly recommend a stay at this gorgeous cottage.
Gorgeous property in lovely settings, finished to high standard, well equipped and furnished. Would definitely look to return. Owners were welcoming and friendly and available if needed. Many thanks
