"If I could give this cottage 11 out of ten I would, it’s probably the best we’ve ever stayed in , decor and facilities are outstanding ,absolutely everything you cld possibly need, attention to detail is amazing,right down to treats,bowls and blankets for the dog, the little courtyard garden is a great sun trap and we were really happy to see it’s completely dog proof, we have a mini dax and there was no way he could escape."
Its as if someone has just stepped out of their home to make way for you to stay,and it really felt like a home not a house, we took a lot of things with us which we needn’t have,and the human treats were lovely, (we had the wine and cake on our anniversary,thankyou ) would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Such great attention to detail to ensure vistors' stays are carefree and comfortable. From provision of "essentials" to discreet notes with instructions for use of items.
Having struggled many times to work out how to operate variants of showers I was very happy to see the little card with instructions on how to operate theirs

Like home from home. Parking was a bit tight. Also advert stated pub was 0.5 miles away, this is not correct its actually 1.5 it mattered to me because of my mobility issues. Had to drive for a meal, but on the whole we had a lovely week. Thankyou
Thank you for your kind feedback. I’m so sorry the information about the pub was incorrect, thank you for letting me know. Sykes are going to update it for me as the Punch Bowl is actually one mile away whilst the shop is half a mile. I do hope this didn’t spoil your stay. Best wishes, Kath

"We had a lovely stay at Sarnwen Cottage."
It was exceptionally clean throughout and the decor was of a high standard. A lot of thought and care has been put into this cottage. Dogs bed and bowls were provided along with dog treats which was very thoughtful. The owners were very helpful when we asked them for information regarding places to visit.
The garden is a little suntrap until late into the evening. There's plenty of books to read while relaxing. The owners left us a little welcome pack of wine, milk, butter and biscuits which was lovely. There are some nice walks locally, Haughmond Hills is one we visited, amazing views and a lovely cafe with outside seating.
If you want to go a little further then Beaumaris in Anglesey is definitely worth a visit. This cottage is in an ideal location if you want to explore different parts of Wales. Highly recommended.

"A lovely well equipped cottage that had everything we needed, the wine, biscuits, milk and butter were a lovely touch, as were the doggie treats."
The garden was much smaller than it appeared in the photos, but it was enclosed, had outdoor furniture and was a nice evening sun trap to sit and chill. A dog bed, towel, bowls, poo bags and treats were provided, as were cleaning items in the kitchen, along with dishwasher and washing tablets, tea, coffee etc, basically everything you need. Just a little niggle, we have an estate car and each time we drove on or off the sloped drive it caught the underneath of the car, it didn't matter whether we went in forwards, backwards or from different angles. Also because the road was so busy, we didn't want to risk parking on the road as cars and lorries would go really fast whether it was day or night. It was a great base to explore both Wales and Shropshire, Offa's Dyke Path is close by, which is a nice walk beside the canal, both Oswestry and Welshpool are about a 30 minute drive away and Llangollen was just beautiful especially the Horseshoe Falls.
Thank you for your kind comments and feedback. I had not realised the parking area was an issue for long cars. Sykes have updated the property description to avoid this happening again.
I contact all my guests before they arrive and encourage them to let me know of any issues. I will always help if I can and could have suggested alternative parking.
I am sorry you felt let down by the outside space but I feel the picture Sykes have taken is pretty accurate. I am glad you you were still able to enjoy it. Thank you again for taking the time to give feedback, it is important and I do appreciate and act on it whenever possible.

"Best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in!"
Owners have gone to great lengths (and cost) to make it comfortable for guests. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped - and in a great location.
I have often cleaned accommodation on arrival, as my expectations are really high - but this one was impeccably clean. I also take items with me, such as a garlic press and a sharp knife, but even these were redundant as the owners had supplied them. A lot of thought has gone into what guests need and the owners should be proud of what they have achieved with the property.
The cottage is in a great location. We did lots of cycling and walking - and even managed a coffee on the decking one sunny afternoon (early March).
We would not hesitate to return if we decide to revisit this part of the country and strongly recommend it to others. So, to anyone thinking of renting it. and reading this feedback, our advice is to not hesitate and just book it!! You won't be disappointed.
