  • "Upon arrival we loved the setting and the cottage."

    Initially it looked very clean. After unpacking, we noticed quite a lot of dog hair on the sofa cushions and rug. We gave it a hoover and shook the cushions off outside. When we went to bed we noticed that there was even more dog hair and stains on the bedding. On one of the pillow cases there was a brown blood stain. The bedding had obviously been washed but the stains and fur remained. We appreciate that this is a dog friendly cottage (we have one at home) but we don't want to share soft furnishings with somebody elses. All dog hair should have been removed and stained bedding isn't acceptable. We have sent photos to Sykes showing the numerous stains and hair. We took the bedding off and shook that off outside as best as we could. We also swapped pillows over. There was also a random slipper under the bed. The local property office offered to send cleaners in (after we'd already slept in the beds) but we weren't happy having them in, as our belongings were all unpacked. They also couldn't give us a time so we declined the offer. We'd sorted it as best as we could. We were also left only three bath towels to share between the four of us. Other than those issues, the cottage is lovely, well furnished and well stocked. There is mould around the bottom of the walls in the main bedroom which might bother some. Clothing storage is also needed in the twin room as, three small bedside table drawers between two people isn't enough.

  • "What a lovely little cottage, plenty of room for us as a family of 3 with our beloved cockapoo."

    Beds were so comfortable, place was very clean and tidy. It also had everything you’d need in a kitchen including the finer details. An information book was left which was very useful to read. It was close by to the shops/beach and there were lots of places a short drive away. Whilst you could easily walk to the beach I felt the road was too fast/busy for us to walk daily (child has additional needs) others may be absolutely fine. We enjoyed our stay - so peaceful to end the day relaxing and the sunset in the field next to us was beautiful.

  • "Excellent cottage, positioned in a nice quiet location."

    The owners have thought of everything to ensure you enjoy your stay. Lovely shops, cafes and restaurants in New Quay. Managed to see some of the resident dolphins in the harbour. Beautiful sandy beaches to chill out on. Aberaeron is worth a visit only 15 minutes away The exit from the cottage lane entrance requires a convex mirror installing to ensure you can safely exit the farm track into the main road. Otherwise prefect!!

  • "The cottage was fine and was fine driving to it."

    .was aware of the farm track and gates. We had good weather but no comfortable sun lounger was available. It would have been good if properly had WiFi but pone signal was ok. Tv was iffy at times so could be improved. Property was close enough to town and the coast for walking and good walks in the area.

    Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry the sun loungers weren’t available, they will be left outside now that it is sunny weather. We haven’t had a problem with the TV but will definitely check that. Property Owner

  • "A comfy, cosy and clean cottage with good furnishings and facilities."

    Beds very comfortable and a good bathroom with an excellent shower. No wifi at the moment but apparently a project in-hand. We didn't miss it. A lovely enclosed garden surrounded by sheep fields with a bridleway (need waterproof footwear) alongside which eventually leads to the beautiful coast path. My friend and I really enjoyed our week's stay and would happily visit again. Thank you.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay. You were our first guests so we were very pleased to have such a good review. Thank you. Property Owner
