An Ideal Place for Any Holidaymaker
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009

Fishguard is an idyllic little town on the cliffs of south-west Wales. There are many beaches around, as well as pretty fishing ports and coastal paths. The town itself provides many amenities, including several pubs, tea rooms and supermarkets. If you enjoy outdoor pursuits, there is a diving school here, it is a great place to plan cycle routes around and footpaths are not in short supply. There are major traffic routes nearby, making it easy to get, though they are sufficiently far away from the town so as not to spoil the beauty of the area. All in all, Fishguard is a brilliant place to come and spend a holiday no matter what your idea of a holiday is.
And where better to stay in this lovely town than Brodog Court? This spacious, three-storey holiday cottage is in an ideal location to enhance the relaxing experience of holiday making. There are three bedrooms, one with en suite on the ground floor and the other two sharing a bathroom on the top floor. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are all a good size. The top floor bathroom offers beautiful views across Fishguard to Dinas Head and the surrounding mountains, which was a great vista to wake up to.
On the first floor is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area which is fully equipped with basic, and more exotic, cooking utensils. A good selection of games and DVDs is provided lest the weather should let you down. On the other hand, Brodog Court offers space for storing bicycles and plenty of car parking space straight outside the building.
Once you enter the secluded courtyard, you forget the supermarket and high street that you pass on the way in and easily relax in the peaceful haven of Brodog Court.
Whilst the cottage is self catering and has very good facilities for cooking, if you want to go out, Fishguard has many cafes, pubs and restaurants to eat at. For coffees, teas and an amazing selection of cakes I would advise the art gallery cum tea room which is on the main road next to HSBC. For good food, Number 14 on West Street was a lovely place to go. The Royal Oak on Market Square is an 18th century pub which serves good home made food and real ales. The folk night on Tuesdays is fun for everyone.
So, if you want a holiday that offers a relaxing atmosphere, the opportunity to get out and about on the cliff tops, many beaches from which to swim and have fun and a great place to come back to every evening, I would urge you to consider Brodog Court in Fishguard.
Owner's Response: Very pleased that this family enjoyed their stay so much!
Unfortunately, since they visited, the Royal Oak has changed hands and we have been a bit disappointed by the food. It's still a lovely pub to have a drink in - with wonderful views of Fishguard Bay from the outside terrace at the back - and the folk nights are still going strong!
