Comments

'3 of your cottages in use by our large family group. This farmhouse provided fantastic space for us to gather in evenings; playing games, eating and drinking and generally relaxing in front of the fire. Thank you for the cake, children loved the outside space too, we'll be back!! love Nancy.' Matthias, Lockett and hens, Bristol, East Sussex, Swindon, Essex and Swansea, Sept 09

'Thank you again for another superb year. We have had a really lovely relaxing holiday here, not least because you make us feel so welcome and comfortable. Thanks especially for the use of the pool; the kids loved it and it really is lovely. It's always a pleasure to come to Pembrokeshire and (though we're sorry to go) now returning well refreshed. We'll be back on the Dylan Thomas trail next hyear, can't wait!' Lizzy, James, Alex, Fabian, Michael, Molly and Keith, London&Bolton, Aug 09

'This is the best house ever! We had an amazing time here and will defiately come again. Thank you for a brilliant time.' Beth, Leicester, July 09

'What a great find. the kids loved the playarea, like their own park on site! Lovely to have the chance to swim in the pool and make the most of the lovely location. Day trips to Broad Haven, Barafndle and Tenby for the digging, rock pools and a bit of swiming in the sea. Cresswell Quay is the perfect spot for a guinness or two and to watch the sun go down - try getting over the stepping stones before you have a drink! Bluestone Water Park was fun for the older kids who can swim, a little limited for the younger ones. It was great to have big family meals around the table and trying our hand at having a BBQ in the rain. Thanks very much. NB loads of crabs found just swimming around merrily at Barafundle Bay.'

' We've all had the most wonderful weekend we could have wished for. We celebrated two birthdays, an anniversary and a graduation! Thank you Ruth and Tim for allowing us to entertain a big family party on Sunday - the games room, playing area, swimming pool and beautiful Old Farmhouse ensured that there was something for everyone and a great time was had by one and all. They all want to repeat the experience next year! Saturday was spent at Bosherston and Broadhaven - fantastic! This has been a weekend to remember. Thank you so much.' The Pearce Family, Hertfordshire, Swansea. June 09

'Thank you for providing such a perfect and magical environment for one of the most relaxing and enjoyable long weekends we could have wished for. The surrounding areas, beaches, walks, woodlands and old buildings are simply amazing and the facilites on site were everything we needed - even managed to entertain the young girls and give us grown ups a break! Simply beathtaking - definitely coming back.' Party of Girls. Bristol, Bath and London. June 09

'Thankyou for another lovely week - always too short. Great farm shop, brilliant beaches, walks - not enough done this week. This house is almost like our 2nd home because we come here every year. Thanks for letting us use your fab swimming pool and for the yummy cake!' Giles Family, Coulsdon, Surrey. May 09

'This was our 4th stay at Little Loveston but this time it was a bit different and rather special. It was my 40th birthday on 16 May and I brought 27 friends and family along to help transform Little Loveston into our party venue for the weekend with the Old dFarmhouse as the hub of the proceedings. With the elements against us, we persevered against the wind of rain to hold a fantastic BBQ party complete with party tent, disco and fireworks plus lots of fun and games. it was nice that Tim Ruth were also able to come along and join in with the clelebrations. Everyone has said what a great time they've had, from the kids making the most of the games room and play areas to the wonderful environment in which to socialise, let your hair down and enjoy yourself. Thanks again to Tim and Ruth for allowing us to take over the place and for helping to make it a birthday to remember!!!' Chris, Fiona, Bethany, Joshua Goodchild, Friends & Family. May09

'Our family of 12 (plus one who had a flying visit) have had a superb time. A perfect location for the beautiful beaches, challenging walks (coastal footpath) and crashing surf that we've all come to enjoy so much over many years. A relaxing pint at The Cresselly Arms is the perfect end to a day out. Despite our great age range - Harry is 3 and Grannie is 87 - we were all catered for here and decided that our Easter Egg hunt in the lower field was a highlight! Our thanks to Ruth and Tim and family for a great welcome and maiking it all possible.' Elder, Coles, Turnbull, Beach and Newell family. Kent, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Bucks, Leicestershire, Cardiff.

much Ruth and Tim, this has been our best year yet, after years of coming to Loveston. We have really enjoyed our break, our laziest and most relaxing ever! It has been a real luxury to have the farmhouse to ourselves and we have had a lovely time revisitiing some of our old favourites and enjoying fresh scenery. Looking forward to next summer already.' Liz, James, Alex, Fabian and Michael. London. August 2008

'The location of the cottages is absolutely perfect with 3 fantastic beaches practicaly within arms reach. The facilities of the cottages suit all ages. With 9 people living in the same cottage our needs were steep and yet I'm glad to say all of them were met. thank you for the cake, it was gone in seconds, it was the adults promise!!! We've all enjoyed ourselves extremely and we'll all be sad to see the back of Pembrokeshire. But we've all got individual happy memories to take from our stay!' Edward Levell (12years). Somerset.

"We had a wonderful stay at The Old Farmhouse, it's a great house with a wonderful child-friendly garden which our children, all 6 of them from 15-2 loved. Explored the area over the week but we all loved coming home to base. Loved the castle at Carew, Tenby and Barafundle Beach and a great time was had by all at Folly farm and Oakwood. Would love to come back again with more family and friends as its a great spot for a get together. Thanks Ruth and Tim" Croasdells and Smyths, Ireland. 13 July 2007

We've had lots of fun exploring the area (in the rain) Managed to go crab fishing and caught 7 crabs (one of them promptly got eaten by a seagull though), had lots of lovely fish and chips and breezy walks on the beach. You have a lovely place here - hope we can come back again next year" The Slayne family, Cardiff, Bristol and Texas. 22 June 2007

"2nd time here. Just as enjoyable, so much to see and do, such a lovely base with a great atmosphere.

See you again next year!" Goodchild family, Bristol. 15 June 2007

"As usual a great holiday Some dodgy weather meant we discovered the unexpected pleasures of the Pembrokeshire racetrack 'slot car racing' Joshua our reigning champion. Crabbing with the Pembrokeshire coastal rangers at the causeway at Carew Mill was brilliant. We returned this evening - fabulous fun! Coast to Coast came up with some great walks - Martins Haven, Dale penninsula, Deer park walk fabulous - and no complaints from the children. Carew Inn produced great food again. Walk from Abereiddi to the Sloop Inn was great too! Mencap gardens at Bosherston have meant we have a car full of brilliant plants and had an inspirational visit. Well worth a visit. Lots of rock pooling and swimmng for Samuel, Dominic and Joanna - the less hardy members of the family paddled." Giles family, Surrey. 31 May 2007

"We arrived in LovestonA pretty old place It was as beautiful As a babys face. We went into the playarea To have a go on the swing In the background we could see Birds flapping their wings. We liked to go to the games room To play a bit of pool We thought it was much better Than boring old school. We visited Angle Bay On a bright sunny day Built a few sandcastles And went in the sea to play. We went to Tenby To buy rock for our friends From that point on We thought shopping never ends." by Georgina Anderson (10) & Josie Marks, Bristol. July 06.

"Thank you for a fantastic weekend - not only has the stunning weather spoilt us, the house has been perfect for chilling out, cooking great food and...drinking! The walk to the Cresselly Arms is beautiful and the farmshop is very handy - excellent burgers for a BBQ! Ideal for wheelchair accessability (would be handy to have a slope at the back door). Thank you for being such perfect hosts and pointing us in the right direction for coastal walks" Rob Molly Ali Neil Sarah Ed and Spaniels, Wiltshire and Hampshire. June 06

"This holiday has been fabulous! We went to the beach nearly every day. The rockpools were fantastic, we caught hundreds of shrimps and enormous crabs. Mum and Dad were thinking of coming here next year. Our two favourite meals out were The Old Pharmacy and The Carew Inn. We had a picnic nearly every lunch time. There were so many bedrooms that were were allowed one each apart from Mum and Dad. Thank you for everything. Best beaches: Barafundle, Broadhaven South (via Bosherston Lily Ponds) and Marloes for swimming, Freshwater West and Dale for rockpooling! Thanks again, love the Giles family.Surrey. May 06
