"Location good for exploring the area."
We enjoyed having the space the property offered, it was great! No one felt cramped even with twin 18month old grandchildren. The hot tub was a lovely addition to the facilities and the children liked the games in the barn. Comfortable seating in living areas. Kitchen dining area spacious. Car definitely required but we knew that when booking.
WiFi hit and miss.
Adult grandson struggled sleeping in bottom bunk bed.
A tin opener would be useful.
We would definitely stay here again!

"Fantastic stay in a lovely house."
Our party of seven ranging from 15 to 84 loved the space it had with generous sized bathrooms and a spacious kitchen. The hot tub went down particularly well and the two dogs loved the garden which was secure for them. Tricky roads getting to the property but found an easier route to get everywhere once there. Games room also enjoyed by the boys. Couple of minor things like no table tennis or games as advertised and a sticky lock on the downstairs bathroom but nothing major. Good base to explore area and beaches only a few miles away with some stunning scenery. Nice meal at the Bunch of Grapes in town and the New Inn down the road. Prompt communication from Hugh and Cary’s the owners and an all round fantastic stay.
Hi Paul - thanks for your feedback! So happy to hear that you had a pleasing stay. We’re so sorry that you didn’t find the table tennis and games room during your stay, but I can assure you that they were there. The darts and pool table are in the nearest garage to the house, and the table tennis is in the garage next door. If you ever visit us again, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or problems and we’ll be happy to help.
Thanks again,
Huw and Carys.

"Blaensilltyn house was the perfect accommodation for 12 people, located in a rural spot with very little noise from the surrounding farm, facilities were good and the layout of the house really worked for us."
Unfortunately the games room was in a very poor state, pool table was broken and balls missing, no table tennis table as advertised. The bathroom door lock was broken and the lock was completely missing from the en suite bathroom. General maintenance of the property could do with some attention but being used as a holiday property probably doesn’t leave much time for this. The hot tub was amazing and proved a real plus for us, the kitchen was very well equipped and again the layout worked in every way, they say the kitchen is the hub of the home and it definitely was, will definitely being booking again in the future!

"Our third visit was as good as the first."
Blaensilltyn was the perfect venue for a family birthday. The living space on the ground floor is superb, the little conservatory together with the very comfortable lounge and second smaller lounge are very conducive to a family with children to accomodate. This is complemented by a wonderfully large dining area and very well equipped kitchen. All the bedrooms are a very good size and the bathroom facilities excellent for a large party. The hot tub was hugely popular again and appeared to be a new replacement this time around. In the past we have asked for assistance and the owner appeared very promptly to help with the situation. We will be back!!

There's plenty to do at the house to keep you and your family entertained. Especially the hot tub to relax in after a long day out. We were lucky enough to enjoy stunning weather and the views and walks are stunning. Loved watching the cows and there young in the morning on the farm it was fabulous.

The only thing I would mention is that the hedge running along the left hand side of the garden has gaps in it meaning it is not dog secure. This isn’t a negative review as the owners had warned to check the perimeter, it’s just a warning to other dog owners, particularly if yours is as inquisitive as ours

The first couple of nights we did not sleep too well as had a few plumbing issues noisy pipes and toilets etc however this was dealt with promptly to the best they could whilst we were there. It was in the listing there was a table tennis table but we could not find where this was which was disappointing.

It has got all facilities you would expect for a holiday. The hot tub is a huge size and well maintained for our entire trip. The kids enjoyed using table tennis and darts games.
The owner Mr.H.Davies is very much friendly and sorted out all our simple queries prior to the trip itself when we contact him. The postcode directly takes you to the cottage and no issues, however, worth speaking to the owner to avoid single-lane travel (for a mile only), and he suggests good routes.
Highly recommend this cottage.

"4 stars only due to poor WIFI."
But still highly recommended.
We loved the space, number and size of the rooms. We especially enjoyed the tabletennis, pool and hot tub. Very well equipped kitchen. Great location for country and coastal walk and super beaches.
Unfortunately we found the WIFI was terrible. We normally had under 1 mbps which when shared between us often became unusable. This is why the otherwise excellent facilities have been marked down. But I suspect due to location this cannot be easily improved. Mobile reception was almost none existent.
The WIFI is unsuitable for anyone wanting to do any work while away, which one of us did. But some may see this as a significant advantage.
The property provided bed linen even though Skyes incorrectly advertised (hence lower score) the need to take your own. So I recommend you check as appropriate rather than load your car with pillows as we had.

"Over three phone calls, I was on the phone for over 100 minutes."
Not acceptable even during the Covid-19 period. Also, it was only due to me ringing that we found out that we had to take our own linen, sheets, pillows, duvets and towels. Also that we couldn't use the games room and the BBQ. Also, the check in and out times had changed. Luckily, after contacting the owner, we were allowed to use the games room and BBQ as long as we cleaned them properly. We were told we would be called back by Sykes but we weren't. The lady who we eventually spoke to was better but the wait to get through was unacceptable.
However, all of this was forgotten as the cottage was fabulous and the owner was great too.

"Just returned from an amazing 7 night stay at Blaensilltyn."
The location is awesome with plenty of wildlife and cattle around. We were lucky to see Red kites swooping from the sky as the farmers ploughed the fields. The home is everything you could want and more. The home is furnished to a high standard and the space you have is brilliant if you have teenagers (we have 4) The Kitchen and Dining area is well equipped. All the bedrooms are spacious and furnished lovingly. Having 3 separate showers with one by the kitchen was brilliant before using the jacuzzi. The highlight for us was the use of the Jacuzzi (even in the rain) and the large back garden and front patio area.Thank you to the owners for an amazing stay in such a beautiful location.Highly recommend.

Facilities fantastic with everything could expect and more. Washing drying facilities. Picnic equipment. Inflatables. BBQ setup. Nice gardens. Games and pool table etc. Can cope with 10 easily and wouldn’t be on top of each other but equally nice for two.
Felt homely the second walked in.
Hot tub cleaned while we were out so always good to go.
Gripes? None. If anything just check gas bottle full for bbq. We went to use it one night and it ran out immediately. But no big issue we just cooked in kitchen.
And I’m sure owner would be available to help sort it if no spare bottle around as has everything else so well covered there may be one we just didn’t know about.
We didn’t contact him though as easier to cook in kitchen for the one meal. So no complaints.
