We should have known this would not be good when we were greeted by a rat! The Old Bakehouse was dirty and damp. It smelled musty and the walls had signs of damp. The cobwebs in the ceiling space must have been there for years considering the size. We booked this because my mother is disabled and we were shown to the rear access which meant she had to go down a number of steps before negotiating a further 7 stairs into the living space. The accessible entrance was blocked by a large fig tree. The owner offered no apology. The cottage was cold and we couldnt work how to put on the heating. There was a huge draft through the main door due to wooden panels split. The bathroom was dirty and we refused to shower. Thankfully we were only booked in for one night. The cooker was mucky and the toaster too dirty i wouldnt use it. We had booked our arrival for between 12 and 1pm but on arrival at 1.10 we were told to wait because they hadnt cleaned yet. On top of this we had to negotiate an obstacle course of a drive leading to the property. Sadly not the good break we...
   Read moreStopped at Lamphey park for a week 2 nights in the house bed and breakfast and another 3 nights in the quirky cottage. The room in the house that we had had a four poster bed and a quite big room with shower,the breakfast was cooked by Jon and Jane which was a full breakfast or had what you wanted plus cereal and toast at hand, we then moved into the quirky cottage which is self catering now this was a little cottage big enough for two people with a ladder to get to the top half where there were two chairs and a television the bed was underneath as you can see in the photo and wet room with toilet and shower. The garden area was quite big with a sun house and a couple of badminton rackets to have a little play and well kept they had a couple of Shetland ponies the they cared for the hosts Jon and Jane were very welcoming and I must say very dog friendly too which made for a great stay. The other thing about the location is that you are not far from a dog friendly Beech freshwater east which has got a nice cafe...
   Read moreWe stayed in the Bakehouse. somewhat grubby. I had to clean the top of the fridge which is visible as you step down to the kitchen and hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Old hair balls scattered around the bedroom. The kitchen is reasonably well fitted but the cooker and hob have seen better days. When trying to make an omelette, the frying pan hardly made contact with the ring. The toaster is also old. ||||The downstairs bedroom is adjacent to the owner's kitchen, sound travels and I was woken in the middle of the night twice by banging and clattering at 2 or 3 in the morning. The mattress was very comfortable and firm, but the bedding...hard and lumpy pillows (luckily we had brought our own) The bathroom also needs a refit - cracked basin, inadequate shelves, rusty shower rail. ||||The sitting room is very nice. With new leather sofas, Could do with reading lights and more than one occasional table, we had to place drinks etc...
