  • "Had a fab stay only very minor things but nothing that stopped us enjoying the holiday the hosts were so lovely and helpful, our main disappointment was the advertised communal area It was very over grown and the seating area was a no go it was such a shame because having a dog it would of been the prefect dog walk area, there is a lane to walk down but a stoll around the pond would of been preferred, also very dark outside in the garden area of a night-time so a torch is needed for the last visit of the night for your four legged friend, a fantastic cool place to be on a blazing sunny day bit chilly by night heating works well apart from the one portable heater it is the most frustrating thing im pretty good at working things out and it had me stumped, Rebecca came and had a look and set it up so it should be a case of just switching it on, that worked for 30 seconds then switched its self off I know she would of come to have another look but I didn't want to bother her like I said only minor issues so nothing that put a dampener on our stay, we loved the peace and quiet the stunning views of the horses and ponies strolling around the field the cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable the beds are the most comfortable beds ever one double bed one MASSIVE bed, shower and bathroom very clean and no shortage of towels, we found a stunning little beach 30 mins away at cwmtydu we watch dolphin's from the beach, very clean free toilets, free parking and parking bit further down £1 all day with an honesty box, no shops or cafe."

    The Chinese and pizza take away in llandysul were both very nice and a really good nisa supermarket. Would 100% stay here again would and already have recommended it,

  • "Stables Cottage is very comfortable and relaxing with lovely views over the fields."

    Our hosts Karen & Rebecca were very pleasant and helpful, they provided a shower stool for my husband at a last minute request. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends. We did like watching the horses in the adjacent field and of course the Red Kite. Highly recommended

  • "We recently decided to stay at The Stable in place of our usual cottage in Wales, as we wanted something new."

    The listing has all old pictures, so each room is different to the pictures but we didn't mind this at all. However, it was listed as having a working shower and other amenities. On the first day, we couldn't get the oven to turn on. We had access to the hob, but couldn't find a switch to enable to actual oven. After a long day of driving we just wanted to have a relaxed evening, but unfortunately it took over half an hour for anyone to get back to us. We understood they were busy, but that was the first of the problems. (The oven switch is on the back wall of the bottom left cupboard, behind the pans.) The next day, we couldn't get the radiators working and the cottage was very cold. On asking Karen and Rebecca about it, Rebecca did come round to help. She stated that she knew the cottage gets cold, and it took her a long time to work the heating system herself, but there was no information left for us on how to access the heating. That same day, the shower wouldn't switch on. After ten minutes of fiddling, it came back on long enough for me to wash but not any longer. Because of this, the other three went without a shower. The next day, it still wouldn't turn on so we popped another message to Rebecca. She said she'd come over when she was back next door, and that was fine. She came, fiddled with it herself and left. Unfortunately, it went off completely again just as she left. She came back and phoned the plumber, who talked her through what he thought would work and she got it running. The moment she left again, it went off again. She came back round and told us the plumber would be round later that evening. On coming round, both the plumber and Rebecca tried to get the shower working, but he then came in the front room and said "Don't hate me. But I can't fix it. I need to get onto the roof eventually, but it means you can't have the pressure on at all." Without pressure, the shower was nothing but a small drip. This then went on for the rest of the week - the shower unusable and the water persistently going cold (both in the bathroom and kitchen.) On leaving The Stable and having a day to reflect, we texted Rebecca and Karen about our disappointment and how The Stable fell short. It was listed as having a working shower and this just wasn't the case. We also said that, having reflected, we feel it was justified to ask for a partial refund on our stay. We had no response, so later that day I emailed Sykes Cottages about our stay. Rebecca did get back to us the next day to offer £72, which I thought was an insult considering the problems we had throughout the whole week. On discussing this with Sykes Cottages, it became clear they would not be willing to help, and in fact we were spoken to by one member of staff like dirt on her shoe. She was not willing to hear us out, and may as well have accused us of lying about the shower which just was not the case. She also stated "well, no one else has made a complaint about The Stable before" which would have been fine except we were the first guests! That comment in itself showed us that Sykes Cottages would not listen or assist us in any way. They were entirely uninterested and made it clear they would not be pursuing our complaint and that we either accept £72 or nothing at all. I would not visit The Stable in the future, and I would suggest it is avoided by anyone else who doesn't want a disappointing holiday. We will never use Sykes Cottages again and would suggest others avoid at all costs!

These valley cottages are ideally located in a peaceful setting surrounded by the owners’ farm with stunning Welsh horses and ponies and a short five minute drive from Llandysul town.

Each individually furnished with their own unique style, these properties offer flexible accommodation for families or small groups. These diverse cottages are clustered around the farmyard with the buzz of everyday life around you and views across the fields. Each property has a feeling of privacy and is comfortably furnished. The cottages offer modern kitchens, with electric ovens in two of the properties, all with electric hobs, dining areas and comfy seating to relax into after a day enjoying the diverse countryside that surrounds the town and little river valley, and all with TVs and DVD. With access for all the cottages to a communal seating area. You may be happy to relax and just enjoy the slow pace of life and tranquil view. These rural Carmarthenshire cottages are slightly off the beaten track, with plenty of opportunities to walk, cycle and even make the most of the River Teifi that runs through the town with either fishing, or in Llandysul you can grab a wet suit and take part in some whitewater canoeing and paddling. The coast is 15 miles away at the pretty seaside village of Llangrannog, or the stunning sands at the National Trust’s Penbryn Beach. A little further north is the regency harbour town of Aberaeron, 18 miles, with its multi-coloured houses lining the harbour and surrounding streets or perhaps visit the nearby National Trust’s Llanerchaeron, a working farm estate, where you can take a stroll to Aberaeron town along the old railway, a great way to while away a few hours and perhaps treat yourself to a honey ice-cream at your destination. There are a fabulous array of outdoor activities nearby with canoeing in nearby Llandysul, walking, cycling and birdwatching. Why not visit Brecha Forest with its fantastic walking and cycling trails, a real favourite of mountain bikers, or the adjacent Llanllwni Mountain with is stretch of heathland and impressive views?

An ideal trio of countryside cottages, offering an ideal base for couples, families and small groups looking to stay surrounded by countryside, yet being within walking distance or a short drive from popular market towns and close to the fabulous West Wales coastline.
