  • "Fabulous stay!"

    Loved it thank you.

  • "Firstly, appreciate we arrived an hour early but the property was obviously ready for us arriving."

    We asked the lady in the property if we could go inside as we needed the Wi-Fi for work. She called her ‘manager’ who stated we could go inside if we paid £20 to a link. We chose to sit in the car. Secondly, place wasn’t very clean. Food remnants down the cushions of the ‘sofa’ which tips forward when you sit on it, a tv that isn’t watchable due to where it’s situated, and a fridge that’s both marked and damaged and the freezer obviously hasn’t been defrosted in years - we couldn’t actually put anything in it without it falling out. Next, misleading information - ‘1 mile to the nearest pub’. It’s not. It’s 1.75-2 miles and the road doesn’t have a pavement and is unlit. And as for ‘put the lid back on the hot tub correctly or we’ll fine you £50’ - what on earth are you thinking?! First time using Sykes cottages and this property and will be the last. We came home 2 days early (which we notice hasn’t been acknowledged) as we were completely fed up. Either represent the property and area correctly or don’t do it at all. Such a shame as Wales is beautiful but when you learn you could have stayed in a two level property right in the centre of Rhayader for £10 less PER NIGHT, it doesn’t help. Won’t be back. And anyone who asks about Sykes cottages, won’t be getting a recommendation from us. You ruined our holiday. Thanks.

    We absolutely loved the hot tub, very relaxing provided good fun and relaxation, Was cleaned out everyday in the morning by staff. The fire pit was a nice touch, we used that a couple times, it was nice to sit outside at the little table in the morning, parking also very spaceous and easily accessible. About 4 minutes by car away from the lovely town of Rhayader, Overall would rate a solid 10/10 nothing more needed loved the stay and Thank You.

  • "A beautiful location, the views are amazing."

    Great for a relaxing break just to unwind. We loved the jacuzzi and the lodge feels very homely which I really liked. It would be handy to have an oven and upon our arrival the door lock broke as it became loose, which meant we couldn’t lock the door. We tried to make contact with the owner with the number given but it was quite difficult, when we eventually did we were told she had received no missed calls but we did send over a picture of our call log to show we attempted to make contact. We pretty much couldn’t lock our front door throughout our whole stay which wasn’t ideal, but our belongings were fine- this was the only downside.

    Not the owners fault but it rained the whole time. Hot tub was unusable as did not have a cover on it. I tried to change the date which was refused due to being short notice. Unfortunately they only stayed the one night instead of the three I had paid for. My aunt did say the property was beautifully clean though. I'd say the best time to book would be in the summer.

  • "The property was really nice and in a beautiful location."

    We were also really impressed with the amount of land around the property for the dogs to explore securely. Also, the hot tub was amazing!!! Suggestions to improve the stay would be having an oven instead of the dishwasher, instructions for the appliances and better range of self catering utensils (such as better pans). All in all though it was clean, cosy and I highly recommend staying there.

    The views were perfect. The hot tub was amazing. The location was great. We’ll 100% be back! The only minor negative was that other pods had sun loungers or picnic benches. We had an uncomfortable old bench and a little table and chairs, which served a purpose, but seeing the others made us wish we had the same! But as I say, only a minor negative. Thank you so much!

    A couple of negatives the fire on the wall let out no heat what so ever so all we have to heat the lodge up was a portable heater which at times just wasnt powerful enough to keep the place warm, however we didnt contact the owners about this as we dont like to bother people maybe if we did it could have been fixed, secondly no cooker which was abit of a pain with only a microwave and 2 hobs to cook on made mealtimes somtimes challenging but we made do and it was fine, we would have liked a washing machine instead of a dishwasher being on fields and having dogs it would have really helped having a washing machine to wash towels as we didnt feel enough were left for our stay, luckily we took some of our own. And lastly directions to this place were not helpful, we put the postcode in which we were given and we ended up lost and had to ask for directions. I feel it could have been made clearer. However the negatives i listed were not really negatives as they didnt impact our stay in the slightest and we had a wonderful time especially relaxing in the hot tub which at any time of day is perfect! If you are looking for a get away for a few days thats dog friendly, beautiful views & hot tub i would recommend this place we had a brilliant time

    All in all, the cabin was a lovely & cosy place to convalesce after a stressful few weeks of real life. While the weather was quite cold during our stay, the virtual fireplace always kept the cabin nice and toasty when we returned from our excursions. We loved the hot tub, which we used at least a couple of times every day, and roasted over the fire pit each night (charcoal & lighter fluid available from the hardware shop in Rhyader!). On the day we were due to check-in, the owners sent us a text to check on when we were planning to arrive and whether everything was OK when we eventually turned up. When it turned out that one of the cleaners had forgotten to leave toilet roll, the owners happily supplied some within a couple of hours (thanks again!). We cooked for each night of our stay except one, and the cabin had all of the pots / pans / utensils we needed for the each meal. We would recommend walking boots to make the most of the valleys & reservoirs in the near vicinity.
