Great place to eat together and meet together.Stairs bit quirky and although we had a an older age range, folks were pretty fit so not a problem, but could be for the more infirm. Lovely location with harbour nearby! Thanks very much, we had a fab time!

Pembrokeshire touring base

The property lived up to our expectations in terms of space and facilities. From here we travelled all around beautiful Pembrokeshire and looked forward to returning back to base. Communication with the owners was fantastic. We were contacted the day before our arrival to let us know that we had an early check in and also a late check out.

Birthday Weekend

The house is in a great location and is incredibly spacious. The bed in the master bedroom was beautifully comfortable and I loved some of the quirkiness and old furniture. There are parts of the house though that need refurbishment and ripping out especially in the living room.

Fantastic to hear you enjoyed the spaciousness of the house - it is a large space ideal for families. Also great to hear you found the Superking master bed comfortable - it is new so glad it was appreciated. We are always updating the house. With the house being part of the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park, Grade II listed and under the jurisdiction of Cadw (who are very rigorous) we are very restricted on what we can change at the house as it is one of the most historic buildings in Lower Town. As such the layout of the bar in the sitting room (from when it was a fisherman's Inn) which is the area you are referring to - so we are unable to change this. We do upgrade as much as we can sympathetically but we do cherish the fact it is an historic, period property and full of original features. Most guests do appreciated this and the bar is a popular feature! Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, which is appreciated, but I think we will have to side with Cadw rather than your suggestions on this occasion ;)

The property was ideal for us - we were a family party of 8 - lots of space, bedrooms and communal living all in a great location for coastal walks. We loved its quirkiness, the bar was such a fun area for cocktail making and it was great that we could all sit round a large table for dinner and on the huge sofa in the evening. However, we thought it was probably a long time since it had had a deep clean. The beds were immaculate, linen fresh and clean but elsewhere surfaces were tacky, so much dust and lots of grimy corners. We had to wash everything before we used it because the shelves cups and glasses etc sat on were not clean. Rugs, cushions, curtains (esp. those over the kitchen shelves) and throws all needed a wash. The house is very old so it’s never going to sparkle like a new one but still there’s no excuse for thick black mould round the kitchen sink. We had a great time but it would’ve been nice not to clean / wash up before starting dinner or pouring a drink.

Family holiday

dark furniture and carpets, giving the overall impression of gloomy! The lounge and top front bedroom are subjected to vehicle headlights. Shutters or Venetian blinds needed. Kitchen well stocked, curtains around units need updating. Lovely courtyard and the two master bedrooms . Overall, needs updating.

So sorry that you did not enjoy the decor of the house. We usually get lots of positive comments about the antiques. As you can see from the great reviews we usually receive. We love the muted greys and more historic colours, but maybe they were not to your taste. I know your week was VERY windy and wet, so maybe that contributed to your low mood. We are constantly updating the house, with new carpets fitted just before your stay. So it is disappointing to hear you feel it needs updating. I will certainly investigate the kitchen curtains as we do take our guests' experience really seriously. Maybe a case of the wrong horse for the wrong course on this one. But glad you enjoyed the courtyard and other parts :)

Fabulous house, fabulous location!

This is one of those places that you almost don’t want to tell anyone else about, because it’s just so good! The location is perfect for a relaxing holiday. it’s a lovely walk around the harbour in the evening, perfect for a bracing swim in the morning, an excellent crabbing location to keep the kids entertained and lots of stunning beaches just a quick drive away, with a handy cafe to stop in at just a stones throw from the house. The house is perfect for an extended family, with everything you could need, including the best board games selection we’ve seen in a long time. It is kitted out perfectly, with lots of thought and space for everyone and has a lovely unique character. The bar was a particular favourite feature, as was the private courtyard outside space. There’s a comprehensive information pack that tells you everything you might need to know about the house and the area. We couldn’t have found a better location and can’t wait to find an excuse to come back again!

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus! Wir waren 12 Personen und haben unsere Zeit dort sehr genossen! Wir sind viel auf den Küstenpfaden gewandert - direkt vom Haus los und dann mit dem Bus wieder zurück, der direkt vor dem Haus hält! Jeden Abend haben wir in der gut ausgestatteten Küche gekocht oder auch im Hof gegrillt. (Vielen Dank für das Bereitstellen der Kohle und die leckeren walisischen Kekse beim Empfang!) … und beim Pub über die Straße haben wir immer die besten Empfehlungen für Ausflüge und Ale erhalten!

We had a wonderful week’s holiday in The Dinas Arms … all the family together! It’s a very quirky house but has lots of rustic charm and we loved it. It’s spacious and well equipped. The bedrooms were all comfortable, with several having en-suite facilities. There are a lot of stairs and it’s a bit higgledy-piggledy but fine once you get used to it! Loved the bar!Great location with the pretty harbour on your doorstep and so many great beaches a short drive away.

Really nice house with lots of character in a great location

We were a group of four couples with children ranging in age from 8 to under 1. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is a great building with a lot of original features and was a great base to explore fishguard and beyond. There was enough space for all of us to have dinner together and hang out in the lounge after a day of exploring. The beds were very comfortable there were plenty of toilets. We would definitely stay again.

Home from home (but with a bar)

We had a lovely long weekend with family and four legged friends at Dians arms! The house is very homey and has everything you could possibly need. Only issue we had was that the listing stated that towels are provided, however on getting there we found out they no longer do, however upon calling this was quickly rectified and the housekeeper brought us all the towels we could need. Lovely area for Costal walks. Thank you for a lovely, peaceful weekend at gorgeous lower Fishguard.

A charming and unique property

We arrived to a warm and delightful property, warm and inviting. The quaintness of the property was charming and it’s location to local inns, walks and shops was wonderful. We were a large family group and found our rooms comfortable and enough space within the property not to be getting in the way. I have not given 5 stars only because the oven needs new dials and we had to guess the temperature of both ovens which could have been a disaster considering we ate in each night cooking roasts etc. More tea towels is advisable, less cobwebs and I’d encourage the cooking utensils to be put in a cupboard that can close! Despite these minor observations I would recommend Dinas Arms to one and all.

Great location, Clean accomodation

Our first time in Lower Town, Fishguard, what an excellent location - convenient to get to activities for the kids and great restaurant just a short drive away. The Boat club did a BBQ on the first Sunday that we were there ( 1/2 Lobster £12 - so fresh and delicious - you must try this, the atmosphere was great with some live music thrown in for free..) Well appointed kitchen with lots of utensils. The House is clean but could do with updating in some areas. The information sheet provided by the owner was spot on and gave us loads of activities and restaurants to try and saved time trying to find them for ourselves. Boot room was very useful as was the crabbing nets. would definitely go back for another family break.

A great holiday house for large groups.

There were no towels or tea towels. We thought that we should have brought our own so ordered some from amazon. On returning home and checking paperwork it appears they should have been supplied but didn’t cause any detriment to the overall holiday experience.

Hi Ian I am sorry - there should have been tea towels left so that was a mistake on our part - apologies. If you had notified us we could have sent some down within the hour. We also provide oven gloves and bathmats - so I hope they were there! With reference to the bath towels, we don't supply these as standard and do clearly state so on the checkin information. However, we are happy to provide if needed and if guests have mis-read the information or are travelling from abroad / especially request - so we do have a full set ready just in case. Again, if you had let us know we could have had towels there within the hour. I am glad that this did not impact on your holiday though, and that you enjoyed your stay and the beauty of Pembrokeshire. Many thanks for your visit!
