"A beautiful house for a birthday celebration…"
We had a fabulous birthday celebration here with our friends, there were 11 of us and we had plenty of space, the house is gorgeous, in a unique location and is very well equipped. The garden is beautiful and there’s a stunning viewing platform which looks out over the bay. The sitting room is perfect for relaxing in (and dancing!), really light and spacious and there is a choice of a lovely dining room or a spacious kitchen for both formal and informal meals. One of the things that stands out about Mor & More is the atmosphere. It’s so welcoming and whilst the decor is stunning it also manages to be relaxed and friendly. We couldn’t have had a better house for a happy and memorable celebration weekend, we would all absolutely recommend it.

"A big disappointment"
Some friends and I stayed at Mor and More Beach House from 9th to 12th May. We were extreme disappointed that the accommodation was not as advertised on the website. The pictures are very flattering but the quality of the place is poor.
Whilst the website mentions the track, it does not sufficiently describe the length or the state. We were in 4x4s in good weather. I dread to consider the journey in a normal car or in bad weather.
The kitchen is poorly equipped and does not support cooking and dining for a large group. The cooker knobs were melted and the numbers had worn off. Also, there was no instruction manual. Old food had been left, glasses were cracked and pans were broken.
Much is made of the outside space and the views are spectacular but to enjoy them you need to lug chairs from inside. The hosts seem to think this is acceptable! The fire pit seems to serve as a barbecue but was extremely rusty. There was a large metal structure taking up most of the terrace which, apparently, is seating but there was no explanation of where to find cushions.
We booked due to the excellent wifi advertised as most of us need to be in contact with work. There was no wifi at all, and no 4G reception. It took 2 days to receive a response to our calls and email. It also meant that we were unable to access any TV.
No hairdryers. Even the cheapest accommodations have these nowadays.
The Jack and Jill bathroom has floor to ceiling clear windows in the shower area which are unsuitable as the property is not secluded. The farmer was regularly on his quad bike in full view of the shower, as were the people receiving paragliding lessons. There was a strong sanitary pipe issue in the Jack and Jill bathroom which even the permanently switched on extractor fan could not mask. This was also noisy. 2 toilet seats were broken in other bathrooms. Childerness deny this but haven’t sat on the ones in the front bathrooms.
In addition, the kitchen and utility room cupboards were full of other people’s 'stuff' which had been left behind, and the conservatory was a dumping ground for junk. The front garden area was full of weeds and unsightly.
The property was advertised as funky but was, in fact, a case of style over substance – inadequately supplied and in some cases, dangerous.
We brought all these issues up and were offered a small compensation which was insufficient. Emails are now being ignored which seems to be a common feature in other reviews. I also noticed that since we complained the website has been changed to be more accurate but is still a far cry from the reality
Further to the reply from Childerness - this is my own opinion of the property and service received.
I stand by everything stated.
We paid £1800 and Childerness offered to refund the chairs and send some prosecco. As we are scattered from Scotland to Cornwall this didn't really work and was insufficient for the lack of amenities and service.
I have seen the reply to the initial complaint. However, had Childerness replied to the 3 or 4 emails sent after the initial reply (which admitted some of the short falls of the property), a compromise might have been reached and an amicable solution agreed on. They only seem prepared to reply in a public domain. If reviews on other sites are anything to go by, this is a pattern with Childerness.
We did not respond to the offer of technical services as we were by then on the last day of our 4 day trip and didn't want to waste the remaining time doing our own fix!
I do not expect any recompense. This is not the owners style. They merely ignore emails. I just hope that future guests are aware of the reality. It would seem that at least some of the issues have now been addressed
8 months on and no further communication from Chillderness other than through Trustpilot

"Mor & More - sadly less and less...."
Friends and I stayed at Mor & More in Pembrokeshire in May and, despite its beautiful location, the house itself was a major letdown. The kitchen was poorly equipped, with no instruction manual, damaged glasses and pans, and leftover old food in the cupboards. Enjoying the outdoor space required lugging heavy kitchen chairs back and forth. The bedrooms lacked essential furnishings like bedside tables and hairdryers, had inadequate lighting, and the shared bathroom consistently smelled of drains. The presence of a shower in front of a full-length window without a curtain was impractical and discomforting. To top it off, the advertised excellent Wi-Fi was nonexistent, causing significant inconvenience as we all needed it for work. Overall, the experience was very disappointing, and while it seems some changes have been made in the property description since our stay, improvements are still very necessary to meet guests' expectations.

"The Red Kite tree tent - naturescape! "
The Red Kite tree tent is an amazing place to stay. You really couldn’t be closer to nature. The set up is entirely functional and completely adventurous. There is a hot shower on a platform in the trees - incredible. The surrounding countryside is unspoilt and spectacular. Perfect for a hike or trail run followed by a paddle in the stream.
The tent is dinky, well thought out and very cosy. We loved having a little stove to keep warm while gazing at the trees and stars.
Easy to organise, responsive hosts, straight forward instructions.
I would highly recommend for anyone wanting nature, adventure and the ultimate “get away from it all” break.

"Wow just wow 🤩"
Wow just wow 🤩
This place is definitely where time stands still , away from everything and everyone.
No wifi, limited phone signal , birds singing, and the only sound of the stream at night with the odd hoot of the owl & baa of the sheep.
Our first night we had to contact the owners about an issue, but this was dealt with effectively and efficiently.
We hired the hot tub from Stevie and we loved star gazing at night and relaxing listening to the birds during the day. Definitely recommend!
The barn itself was right up our street, very quirky and cosy .
The cinema screen and pool table was fun .
The kitchen had everything we needed in it to cook wonderful meals.
We loved the wildlife.
We saw…
The Hare.
The Bat.
The Sheep, Horses (wander freely around the barn and estate. )
Cows.
Squirrels ( who tap on the kitchen door)
Red Kites.
Lots of different birds.
We didn’t see the piggies , apparently they had gone on their own little adventure.
The track up to the Red Kite Barn is very bumpy and uneven, so wouldn’t recommend driving a low car.
The conkers and other places look like fun to stay in here too!
But the barn is definitely our cup of tea.
We would definitely like to return one day , we loved it!

"Magical"
We enjoyed a magical stay at the Moon Conker and loved being off grid and inmersed nature for the night! We love the attention to detail - the fairy lights and decorations really helped make it a special stay. Everything was just as described and we found the guides really helpful, however we felt it could have been clearer where the firewood and car park were. We really enjoyed the outdoor bath experience but would recommend getting the fire as hot as possible otherwise the water takes ages to heat up! Overall a really unique and beautiful experience. Thank you!

"Unique experience!! Perfect to unwind from reality! "
My partner booked this for a birthday surprise!
Definitely what we both needed as we’re both selfemployed, some time away without gadgets is needed! The location is perfect, with woodland and a flowing river!! magical vibes!!
As stated on the description “not recommended for a lowered sports car!” It’s great that this is mentioned, but this definitely needs exaggerating a little more due to the struggle getting up the lanes and the inclines. We grabbed a taxi to the shops and back as we didn’t want to use the car until we left, even the taxi driver struggled to get up and around the deep potholes without hitting his bumper on the floor.
We did get the car up to the conker eventually but with the clutch burning out, we would definitely advise to bring an off roading vehicle if visiting!
I can’t fault anything else as the little touches were brilliant. The weather also stayed dry and we had enough wood and gas to get us through the days we were there! Thank you ever so much for an amazing experience <3

"Superb Llareggub stay!"
We loved this property!
The location and beach views are incredible. We stayed for 5 nights and were very lucky because it was hot and sunny everyday so our days consisted mostly of packing up the beach trolley and taking the short walk to the beach.
Saundersfoot is a lovely town and had most of what we needed, for a bigger food shop there are supermarkets pretty close by.
The property itself is pretty quirky and set over 3 floors. The bedrooms are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for our break. Did I mention the views?! Amazing views of the beach and sea.
Get booking!

"Just magical."
Red Kite barn is a little slice of woodland magic. The panoramic views, the visiting wild ponies and sheep, the air and water fresher than any other. The wood burning hot tub is a must by day or night. Being off grid only adds to the spell. The walks around the estate are breath taking and if you have a day of bad weather you can get cosy in the barn around the pool table or in front of the massive pull down cinema screen. There really is something for everyone. The beds are super comfortable to boot. We will be back!

"A beautiful chalet!!"
We had a WONDERFUL time at the chalet!!! It is so unique and beautifully put together, the furs give it a very cozy vibe! It was the perfect spot for us to have some seclusion surrounded by nature but also close enough that we could easily get to Chamonix (via car!) for skiing. The bathtub upstairs and the hot tub outside were an added bonus after a long day of skiing!! Definitely recommend 4WD and a car with high clearance!
