Glowty Brynbedw Reviews

We were very pleased with everything. The owners were lovely and couldnt do enough for u. The barn conversion was amazing and very tastefully done. A real home from home. Pam had a lot of things to make stay easier with things not everyone would think of. Luna loved the enclosed garden.

What a fantastic place to spend a week! This accommodation is absoutely stunning. The barn conversion has been done to such a high standard. We were thrilled with the place. The rooms are huge, the beds are comfy, the garden is lovely and secure for the dogs to safely run around in and the owners kindly said we could also walk the dogs in their fields. It's a real 'get away from it all' kind of place. Pam came to check on us mid week, which was a lovely touch. She was there is we needed her but otherwise left us to it. I highly recommend this place if you want a lovely relaxing week.

Spotlessly clean and very spacious. Amazing garden with a hot tub, plus a lovely meadow behind for the dog. Couldnt believe it was dogfriendly given how immaculate it was. Loved the carport and having an EV charger was a bonus. Would happily stay again!

There was a lot of road noise,especially night times,this has been mention by others. The oven was very dirty,and ensuite shower had mould around the tray and walls,the vacuum cleaner had a broken handle and was totally blocked.We decided our last night we would mention this and perhaps the cleaner could arrive earlier to sort out the issues.The owner came out, said the oven was clean, and nothing can be done about the mould,and they knew the vacuum was broken.

We very much enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely property finished to a really high standard. The view is excellent and the garden is nice and enclosed, making it safe for our dog and child. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We loved exploring Pembrokeshire, our first visit to the area, but not our last.

My stay at Glowty Brynbedw was amazing,the property from outside and inside was beautiful. The views were stunning and everything you needed home from home was catered for,very dog friendly my pooch never escaped nice and safe just what you need.The hot tub was lovely to relax in after a day's exploring, plenty of lovely towns and beaches Saundersfoot was a lovely little place for walks and eating out plenty to see and do in this part of Pembrokeshire well worth a visit.. Pam thanks for a perfect stay...

Wonderful stay despite the weather but the accommodation had everything to make us comfortable and cosy. Excellent secure garden for our border terrier. Thank you .

Sandra

The Best Holiday Weve Had as a Family This barn conversion was absolutely beautiful, so well done that we didnt want to leave. The property itself is stunning, with loads of space and a massive, secure garden. I was initially worried about finding somewhere with enough room for our dogs to run, but I never imagined it would have three secure fields behind it for daily walks. My husky was in heaven,every morning, he couldnt wait to go and run offlead, something he cant usually do in an unsecure area due to his recall. Everything about this place was perfect. It felt brand new, was spotlessly clean, and had all the space we could possibly need. Its ideal for anyone, but especially for dog owners who want a safe space for their dogs to run freely. The kitchen was also very well equipped with a full set of pots, pans, and everything else youd need, though the only thing Id add is a mixer not a problem, Ill bring mine next year!. On top of that, this is definitely the best area of Wales to stay in. Everywhere we went, people were polite, everything was clean, and dogs were welcome in all the restaurants. We also visited several beaches, which the dogs absolutely loved. Overall, this was the best place weve ever stayed, and well definitely be back next year, just securing my booking before telling more people about it! Blessie & Teddy loved the barn! Petsio!

We had a lovely relaxing break at Glowty Brynbedw. Loved the layout of the property and the privacy you get from the garden and balcony. We had lovely weather and made full use of the hot tub in the evenings. Having the fields behind to walk the dog was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing property, in a lovely location within easy reach of all South West Wales has to offer. Would highly recommend!

The accommodation was lovely. Clean and had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was brilliant for our two dogs. The sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking. Location was great for local beaches. Half hour away from poppit sands, aberporth Saundersfoot and Tenby. The only thing worth mentioning was the road traffic could be off putting for some. We were ok with it. some of the big lorries driving past fast did sound like trains but like i said it didn't bother us but could be bothersome for some. The owner did pop by to check we were ok which was nice. Also left us a a couple of ciders, Welsh cakes and eggs and milk. There was a supply of tea, sugar coffee and cleaning products too. In fact was probably the best stocked self catering rental we have stayed at. Would stay again!

Such a beautiful property. It had everything we needed and more! The location is stunning, and the property exceeded expectations.

This place is absolutely fab. Spacious, clean, comfortable and with views to die for. The garden was very secure for our very inquisitive little dog, and the hot tub was a wonderful treat every evening.

Antonia

We have just returned home after 10 days at Glowty Brynbedw celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and we loved our time there. We loved the cottage, it was cozy and had everything we needed. The weather wasnt on our side for most of our trip but that meant we could just spend time relaxing with the dog. When the weather cleared up we got to explore the coast which was stunning! We did also get treated to a special show of the Aurora Borealis durning our stay which was amazing! The hot tub was an added bonus that we loved and our Dog Star absolutely loved the big enclosed garden and getting to run wild around the fields at the back. The owners were so accommodating and friendly. Pam even came round to introduce herself one morning which was a lovely added personal touch. We had a great time and cant wait to be back one day!

Katherine

This is the best cottage we've ever stayed in! ! Such a lovely relaxing holiday with everything we needed and perfect for our two dogs, especially the additional usage of the fields behind. Pam the owner was very helpful and the cottage was spotlessly clean. We loved the layout, the garden and hot tub, the balcony and the little things like the handy utility room, outdoor shower and underfloor heating. We didn't want to leave and would highly recommend! The location is great for exploring the beautiful area.

Tracey

Well what an amazing holiday weve just had. So many places and beaches to visit. Such a central place to get from. Cottage you couldnt ask for more. The whole place was amazing. Hot tub was fab specially with the weather we had. And the evening entertaiment of the tractors cutting and picking up the grass in the fields was a bonus. Lovely to meet Pam and Russell and thanks for the cider and Welsh cakes. Hubble scoffed those!! Our four legged loved it to

Rachel

Loved our stay here so much we didn't want to leave. Spotlessly clean and really nice and warm. The garden was really secure for our terrier and use of the fields was a bonus. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax. The only little niggle was the shower in main bathroom lost temperature so we just used the other. All in all brilliant stay and we would love to return.

Absolutely amazing stay. We loved the barn conversion from the minute that we pulled up. The garden is fully secure which was amazing for our pug, not that he wonders far. The layout and decor were beautiful and we loved having a drink on the balcony and watching the red kites. We also had so much fun when the tractors came to harvest the field ,it was like Clarksons farm live ! Location was brilliant for visiting Pembrokeshire and even though it is next to a 40 road, honestly we slept like babies. We would absolutely love to stay again. Ooh and the EV charger was brilliant as well.

The cottage was a fabulous place to stay. Spotlessly clean, Comfortable, well maintained. Kitchen had everything you would need and more. With 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs there was plenty of space. Children and dogs had an amazing time exploring the nearby fields. Will definately return for future stays.

Andrea

Beautiful barn and the photos do not do it justice. Vary spacious and lovely garden area. Fully enclosed and safe for dogs and children. By far the best holiday let we have stayed in. The balcony is a bonus and the views are stunning. One minor point is the glass is very dirty with green moss? We did try to clean it ourselves but as it is high up not totally successful. Pity to obscure the wonderful views. If not for this I would give it 5 stars for everything. We enjoyed the hot tub and was impressed there was a hot and cold shower to use before entering the tub. We also made full use of the barbecue. A perfect holiday home for everyone and the road noise did not bother us at all.

Joanna

A beautiful property and the owners were very attentive!

Natalie

Wonderful property, finished to the highest specification, with every amenity you would need and more! The owner Pam was very accommodating to us providing a lovely cot, high chair and even a basket of toys for our baby! Such a spacious and incredibly clean property as well an amazing garden with fantastic views perfect for if you are staying with a dog. Hot tub was amazing, even in the rain! Underfloor heating throughout and a cosy log burner which was very welcomed after wet dog walks! 30 minutes from Tenby, 15 minutes from Narberth which has lots of lovely independent shops and cafes definitely worth a visit. Spar 3 minutes drive away which was really well stocked and has everything you need! Highly recommend this property for exploring Pembrokeshire.

The property itself was fantastic. Spacious and facilities were all clean and we all throughly enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were comfortable and lovely and warm building. We had 4 adults and a baby and had amble space but as usual, spent time in the kitchen around the island chatting. The weather wasnt great on our trip but the garden is large and had a great bbq area. Outside shower is brilliant and hot for showering before and after hot tub dips! Only critical point is that unfortunately the road can be loud when large tractors haulage comes past, especially in the master bedroom at night. This didnt bother us but was not mentioned in property description. Of course we are aware this cannot be changed and is no reflection on the amazing owners.

Hannah

A beautiful property and lovely, friendly owners. We wouldn't hesitate to return there or to recommend it to others.

We had the most incredible weekend in this beautiful home. Everywhere was clean and just overall beautiful. We will definitely be revisiting, anybody whos looking for a lovely weekend away we would 100 recommend this beautiful home. The owners are also extremely lovely and very accommodating!

Stuart

This place is absolutely brilliant. Pictures & description dont do it justice. Everything is top class . Our dog loved it as much as we did I think. Well defo be coming back

Property was amazing, exactly as the pictures and lovely finishes inside. The views from the balcony were breath taking as we sat and watched an abundance of Red Kites playingfighting and hunting daily amongst other wildlife. The grassed field was perfect for our two dogs to go play in and no danger of them escaping onto the nearby road. The road was a little loud but I have lived near main roads all my life so could easily block out the sound. The fire is lovely to sit round in the kitchen but could do with a proper relaxing sofa down there instead of the two chairs, I think we wouldnt have left the kitchen if that was the case as the bifolding doors would have been nice to have open whilst sat. The hot tub is a nice touch too, we have one at home so dont use it as much as others would but still had a dip on the last day. Bed were comfy and underfloor heating absolute perfect for on a night as kept the place snug and warm. Would definitely book again and cant recommend enough.

The property was lovely. It had everything you could need and more. The hot tub was very nice. The owners were extremely helpful when we asked for extra logs and could have been more welcoming with local cider and Welsh cakes on arrival!

Would of liked somewhere to hang our coats in the entrance Great place , great ... Would of liked somewhere to hang our coats in the entrance Great place , great location , one of the cleanest place we've stayed in

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage has great facilities. We loved the underfloor heating and so did our baby who enjoyed the warm floors and the hot tub. The owners went above and beyond for us to make our trip as easy as possible with a small baby and a toddler, purchasing a cot so that we didn't have to bring one with us and providing a high chair and toys unexpected but much appreciated. We couldn't fault it and would love to return

Steven

Loved staying at Glowty. We got the wow factor as we walked into the property. Lots of space for the kids to move around and explore. Property well kitted out and really clean. The pictures don't do the property justice roomspace alot bigger. Hot tub perfect and the views from the balcony are great to wake up too.

Sylvia

This was our 3rd visit to this barn conversion, and as always it did not disappoint. The owners Pam and Russell are really friendly and welcoming. It is a stunning property and the grounds are perfect if you have a dog as it is fully enclosed. It is first class accommodation and definately a 5 star. So if you are looking for luxury look no further.

Beautiful cottage, lovely owners,ideal for us as both dogs could roam around the garden and the fields opposite and they were safe its completely closed off. Everything in the cottage is amazing, fantastic hot tub,and lovely welcome pack waiting for us. Can't recommend enough to anyone who wants a peaceful stay in a beautiful part of the world, good location for exploring west Wales

First class location and first class property will stay again

The property was lovely, we really enjoyed our stay. a little closer to the road than we expected but this did not worry us at all. The house had everything we needed and we had the most perfect weather, we could not have asked for much more. Our only suggestion would be if the beds were replaced in the second bedroom to ensure a more comfortable stay. Everything else was absolutely amazing! Thank you.

Absolutely stunning views, beautiful decorated property, just missing a outdoor ... Absolutely stunning views, beautiful decorated property, just missing a outdoor washing line Thank you for a wonderful holiday

Glowty Brynbedw is a fabulous property, with everything provided that we needed. The owner was so nice and welcoming, but respected our privacy. It was great watching the sheep in the fields at the back from the upstairs lounge balcony. Our dog was so happy running about in the enclosed garden, chasing her ball. Our 2 issues were the lounge was very hot and bright and some form of blind would have been helpful, as it was impossible to watch TV until it went dark, and also because of the location, we had to drive 3545 mins to get anywhere of interest ie beaches, towns, castles. Overall though we did have a wonderful holiday, and it was a super property.

Absolutely fantastic property everything you need plus a gorgeous hot tub very ... Absolutely fantastic property everything you need plus a gorgeous hot tub very nice to meet the owner on arrival one of the best yet

We loved our stay here the property is so well equipped and beautifully designed. The garden is large and enclosed, safe for dogs. Lovely hot tub. We didn't go far as the weather wasn't great but we didn't mind as we got to spend more time indoors in total relaxation. Narberth about a 10 minutes drive, if that. Beautiful views from the balcony where I enjoyed a few glasses of wine. All smart TVs so was great to log in to prime Netflix. It is in the main road, but we knew that and it didn't bother us at all! Hosts lovely really responsive, down the road, but respect your privacy. Just loved it. Thank you for our stay .

Amazing property and great hosts.
