Just to let you know re our wedding anniversary weekend away thread, it transpires dd is starting school on 17th so we can't go away the first weekend really so it was all for nothing

yes CD have been several times and am going again in the summer. It is not organised at all - we use it as a base for exploring the rest of Pembroke

they take pets and there is a pool, spa and restaurant

CountessDracula · 10/07/2007 16:09

Are the cottages all away from each other then?
What is food like?

DS was at nursery 3 days a week 8-5.30 from babyhood. Was still absolutely knackered for first term of primary. He does need his sleep though. But was still getting it!

Seville? Went in Oct half term a few years ago and it was lovely

CD - The cottages are arranged in a courtyard, maybe 3 in a row - see the location page for a picture.

Restaurant is quite good, we have eaten there a couple of times, but we tend to self-cater or eat out.
