Mallard's Rest - Countryside, Hot Tub

Puffin Cottage Holidays is proud to present Mallard’s Rest, a wonderful two-bedroom waterside lodge at Canaston Waterside Lodges, where the owners look forward to welcoming you to their peaceful “Noddfa” (sanctuary), nestled in a stunning location in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Just three miles from the market town of Narberth and a short walk or drive to local attractions, including the popular seaside town of Tenby.


A 20-minute walk through Canaston Woods will lead you to Blackpool Mill with it's heritage restaurant and surrounding woodland walks, set alongside the Cleddau River. Steeped in history, this charming Georgian mill has now been beautifully restored and is the perfect place to stop for a cake and coffee after a days' exploring or to enjoy an evening meal.

A perfect haven filled with nature and wildlife where you can sit back and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. And a great spot for bird watching too!

1. Contract and Booking
We act as agents for the Owner. When you make a Booking through us the holiday let contract in respect of the Property is always between you and the Owner. As Agents we accept no responsibility for an injury or damage caused as a result of the Contract.

Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under 21 years of age.

The Lead Hirer must be one of the Guests staying at the property and shall not part with possession of the property or share it, except with other Guests named on the booking form.

The Properties are not intended to be reserved for the purposes of parties and group bookings, including for stag, hen dos and birthdays, may not be allowed unless explicitly agreed with the Owner. In these circumstances the Owner may impose special requirements (including the possible requirement for, but not limited to, an extra damage deposit payment)

No Bookings are confirmed until the Deposit (or Balance and Deposit if the holiday is less than 8 weeks away) is received and written confirmation of its receipt has been sent.

Once a booking is confirmed it cannot be changed by you, unless agreed by the Owner, or by us on the Owner's behalf. If we or the Owner agree to make requested changes to your booking (for example, amending the date or Hirer) you will be required to pay £25 amendment fee per change.

A booking fee of £24.00 is payable when making a booking. This is included in the displayed price of the holiday.

3. Deposits and Balance Payments
Bookings made within 8 weeks of your holiday date must be paid for in full at the time of booking. For a booking made more than 8 weeks before your holiday a deposit of 20% of the total due will be paid when booking to secure the booking. The balance will be paid 8 weeks prior to your holiday. If you make a booking within 8 weeks of the start of the holiday you will be required to pay for the holiday in full at the time of booking to secure the booking.
