As you cannot leave the dog in the propert alone, it meant taking her everywhere,and as the weather was too hot to take her out it meant that we were not able to explore our surroundings which resulted in us cutting our break short and returning home

Great place to stay, clean, well-equipped and tidy. Importantly, the garden is fully enclosed, so our dogs could be let out without fear of them roaming. The location is ideal for the Pembrokeshire coastal path, Poppit Sands, Cardigan and Newport. If we holiday in the area again, we will try and book the Moorings.

My wife and I were very happy with cottage and its facilities. It's location was good for visiting location up and down the coastline. So many places to visit with our dog. Found the area was very dog friendly Locally we found The Ferry Inn had a nice friendly atmosphere for a drink and the restaurant served good quality food.

The cottage is perfect for canine companions, easy to sweep up. We managed to stay cosy, the new radiator s meant we could manage the room temperature perfectly. Garden is great for watching the morning murmuration of the crows in the morning if you can't make it down to the river.

On arrival you drive into a car park at the rear of some flats so a bit disappointing but don't let this put you off as the area and people are very welcoming.
