Lovely accommodation, new pieces of artwork to look at every day.
The bedrooms were large, beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything required for self catering.
Located right next to nice pubs, restaurants and shops.
Spacious and low cost car park in close proximity.
Only one small thing - Freeview TV channels not available.

We loved everything about our stay! Living in an art gallery was a truly unique and delightful experience; everywhere we looked, we discovered something special. Combined with the excellent location and the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the cottage, it made for a perfect holiday. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best property we've rented in a long time.
Can’t find any imperfections.

Gorgeous little cottage in the centre of Fishguard that was full character, colour and art. A feast for the eyes.
We cooked a few meals at home and the extractor hood didn’t work so I was a bit worried about steam and smells. Opened the window and all was well. A couple of good sharp knives for chopping could be added - just small things

I loved the feel of the place, so vibrant, quirky, and comfortable. There was such attention to detail: lighting, throws, artistic touches everywhere you looked. The large bed was comfy with quality bedding, so we slept well. Although the place struck cold as we walked in, this was soon remedied, and we were toasty warm for our 5 night stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Fishguard itself was a revelation. We had an amazing Sunday roast at Ffwarm (charming quirky restaurant in a former church hall) and a delicious breakfast at Mannings (a former bank). So many independent shops and cafes to explore. I visited Theatr Gwaum to watch a brilliant film at 11am on Monday and we followed an art trail of sculptures (Art Afoot) that took us from Fishguard to Goodwick and back via woods, reed beds, and coastal paths. The history of the Last Invasion of Britain in 1897 was a revelation, as was the 100-foot tapestry retelling the story. We really enjoyed exploring Fishguard harbour and the hilltop fort, and the parish church is well worth a visit with its beautiful stained glass windows. We loved staying in your wonderful cottage, Deborah. Thank you for the good communication and recommendations.
PS We drove to St David's one day - beautiful city. Park at Oriell y parc and walk down to the cathedral.
The only slightly disconcerting thing was the height of the doorways upstairs, the stairs down and up between bedroom and bathroom (particularly at night) and the low ceiling descending the stairs- despite the clear warning signs I still managed to bump my head! But then I am 62 and 5 feet 10!! These were very minor considerations when compared to the
overall pleasure of staying in this wonderful place.

Beautiful, unique cottage which was very comfortable, well equipped and clean. Hosts were very welcoming and communication was extremely good.
Great location for enjoying all that the area offers. Local Co-Op a mere walk away, local shops and pubs just a walk round the corner. Coastal walks and close to the sea and beaches. Altogether a fantastic choice.
Thank you Deborah and Tam.

This is a unique property, being full of works of art that make it a fascinating place to stay. Every day you see something new. It really is a visually delightful space. The property is also spacious and full of the equipment that you require for a self catering experience. The garden, although small, is also a really cool space to chill out in.
There were a few minor issues with some of the facilities: the pipe which the shower head was fixed to was loose; some of the bed lats in the bed in the second bedroom are loose. But I must stress these were minor issues and did not detract from our enjoyment of the cottage at all.

The cottage was full of lovely bright art and knick knacks creating a very happy vibe. It was also perfectly situated for our latest leg of the Welsh Coastal Path which is truly magnificent in these parts!
Communication with the host was very positive and some treats on arrival were very much appreciated!
A very minor observation but because we self catered, we found a couple of items were missing from the kitchen utensils including a cheese grater and veg peeler.

It was very close to the centre of Fishguard. Very quiet. Lovely spacious cottage.
No bathroom cabinet or shelves in the bathroom. Also no dressing table in either of the bedrooms. Bath towels need to be bigger.

This is my third visit to this lovely cottage. it is so comfortable and colourful. we love the fact it is a gallery. The location is excellent, a short walk from all the amenities and a nice local pub with a lovely beer garden. The owner is very friendly and welcoming.

Loved the decor, well equipped, nice sitting areas and dining area,
Good position of property in Fishguard
Handy to visit the rest of pembroke.
No parking on property but this is really not a problem, as plenty of spaces on road, safe to park.
Only small points to make
Bed a bit too firm in room we chose to use. But slept ok. Bed was bigger in that room.
2 Steps either side to both rooms once on small landing area to bedrooms and bathroom handrail would be safer. So beware if in your later years😁.
However do not be put off, it is an old property and is lovely.🥰

The cottage is lovely, the location was amazing for our needs. Plenty of hot water, powerful shower. Towels and bedding all provided and very comfortable beds. Beautiful cottage, plenty to look at!! Deborah the owner responded very quickly to any questions and accommodated our check in and out requests.
we found the thermostat was reading a good temperature despite the cottage feeling cold and the heating wasn’t coming on. we resolved this by moving the mobile thermostat to the opposite side of the kitchen!, it was reading higher as the sun from the window was beating on the thermostat and the heat from the back of the fridge was causing it to read higher, hence the heating wasn’t coming on, so this resolved the issue easily and then the radiators were coming on to keep the cottage warm, so nothing to bother the owner about, so easily resolved.
A couple of cleaning issues, bottom of the oven was greasy and dirty, lipstick on glasses in the cupboard.When we checked the radiator in the lounge, was very dirty behind the sofa! However none of these issues spoilt our overall stay. Felt a little over cluttered in places, was frightened of knocking things over!

This is in a perfect location for walking distance to local amenities and pubs. The cottage has a cosy feel with lovely art and pottery on display. We actually bought a painting that we both liked and are so pleased with it. The cottage sleeps 4 comfortably, but we had 11 people at one time for a birthday celebration. There was more than enough room with 2 lounges and a good sized dinning area. Everything is there you would need for your stay.
The weather was wet, windy and cold over our weekend in Fishguard, but the cottage was lovely and warm. We would definitely recommend for people who have an appreciation for art.
The beds have memory foam mattress, so had a good night sleep. There is a combi boiler too so ample hot water for showers. We will be back.
Nothing. Everything was just as we like it.

Lovely and spacious premium cottage, brightened up by all the art works. Quiet location. Some furniture and beds could be more comfortable.
For a premium cottage, sheets/towels should be included, not extra

The art
I booked this cottage for a three night stay for my partner’s birthday. Firstly I must say this is a beautiful and quirky place, but when we stayed it had a couple of major flaws. In the morning after our first night, and on my partner’s birthday, we found ourselves locked in the cottage and unable to get out. The front door has a Yale lock. There is a sign by the lock informing guests not to double lock the door. We must have accidentally knocked the latch when closing the door when we arrived the previous evening. I phoned the owner to find a solution to our predicament. She is an artist and was taking a class at the time and couldn’t arrive until the afternoon. She suggested to climb out of the living room window and unlock the front door with our key. The sash window only had a limited opening to get through. The gap wasn’t big enough for me to get through, so my partner had to climb through the window. Only by accident, this was when my partner noticed the second major flaw at the property. The lower half of the sash window wouldn’t go low enough for the window latches to engage and lock into the top window fixings to lock the window securely. My partner was able to open the window from outside the property which meant the cottage wasn’t secure during our stay. This meant that we didn’t feel safe. On informing the owner that afternoon, she told us Fishguard was a safe area and everyone left their doors unlocked and we shouldn’t worry, but if we didn’t feel safe there was availability at the cottage next door or we could leave and get a refund. This on my partner’s birthday. My partner asked if the property was insured and the owner said it was. That insurance would be invalid though if someone gets into the property through an unlocked window.

The location was excellent for exploring the village and eating out.
The house was uniquely decorated and fun to be in.
The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds.
The listing mentioned a washing machine and dryer but there were no instructions so we had to use a laundromat.
The sorting of garbage into 4 groups was not expected.

The decor

We have stayed in many places all over the world. but this has got to be one of the best. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, cute and quirky. As suggested in the name, the owner is an artist. There are examples of her work in every room, many for sale. Even some of the furniture has her artwork on it. Each room has its own personality.
The cottage is on a quiet road a short walk from all the amenities. Everything was spotlessly clean. Communication with the owner was excellent.
I really can't praise this property highly enough.
There was nothing that we didn't like.

A lovely cottage in a good location with easy parking in Fishguard. The owner uses the cottage to display artworks which makes it feel as though real care and attention has been taken, compared to some holiday rentals that can feel quite austere. Everything was very comfortable and it made an excellent base for walking the coast path. Highly recommended.
