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

A very nice cottage with parking on sight I had a Kuga vehicle got through the gate and plenty room to park. The dogs could out in the enclosed back garden and they were safe I would go back to this cottage.

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.

We had a lovely stay in this sweet little cottage. The location on the doorstep of the estuary and a stones throw from the beautiful Poppit Sands beach is superb.

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.

We have stayed at the Moorings before and will certainly consider coming back again. The location is excellent for our, quiet, relaxing holidays that we look for. The local amenities in St Dogmaels are more than sufficient for our needs.

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.
