  • "We had a great time in this fantastic house."

    It is ideal for people who are looking for peace and silence. It is a big house that offers comfort and space. If we had a problem or question, the houseowners helped immediately.

  • "Fantastic stay, hosted by lovely welcoming people."

    We will definitely be back. We were very lucky with the weather and found the property well maintained . Nothing was too much trouble and we found the cottage ideally situated and easy to find.

  • "Warm and cosy."

    Both beds are very comfortable. Ideally suited to explore the local area. I do agree with others that the barn has a lot of stuff that does feel a bit oppressive. Investment in some new modern crockery wouldn’t go amiss! These comments are just a personal view and overall it is a good place to stay.

  • "This is a beautifully restored property in a peaceful spot and very convenient for Cardiff."

    The beds are very comfortable. It is sympathetically furnished with antique and vintage pieces. However it is chock full of items which create a feeling of clutter - dozens of mugs, blankets, old cuddly toys, broken pictures, plastic fruit... Just reducing by about 60-70% would be a huge improvement. It is lacking in essential items - drinking glasses, plates, decent mugs and a clean, pat-tested hairdryer. It would take little effort and some discernment to make this a real standout stay.

    Thank you for your comments. We’ve taken them on board and will continue working to improve our guests’ stays. We hope you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Sykes Cottages Property Owner

  • "A delightful traditional Welsh cottage."

    The spot is idyllic. Set within the boundaries of working farm it is however very peaceful. The Walking trails and countryside are perfect for Dogs and humans alike. There are good shops, petrol stations, et cetera within a couple of miles

  • "Father-son trip of a lifetime."

    The property and host exceeded all expectations in every way. A wonderfully comfortable cottage nestled on a mountain working-farm. All amenities/pics/descriptions were exactly as listed. Thanks to Linda and Ed for an incredible family experience that will be cherished forever. Rhys & Rhys

  • "What a fabulous accommodation!"

    Bigger than it looks & full of oldie-world character. Super comfortable beds & a lovely welcome package on arrival. Books and blankets everywhere (although it wasn’t cold at all when we stayed & I’m sure the wood burner & Aga are plenty warm enough in colder months). Fantastic kitchen, with a full-size fridge freezer & all the cookware you need. Oh, and that Aga - our meals were so quick and easy! The hosts are so friendly & accommodating, checking in to see if we were okay or needed anything, stopping to chat when we saw them about, and sending details of the beautiful local walks for us to explore. The only improvement we could think of was maybe adding a full length mirror somewhere. I would highly recommend this place as a cosy base for exploring this beautiful part of the world. 5 stars!

    We will hopefully come back another time to explore the area some more. A stand up shower would have been better for us, but other than that everything about our stay was perfect.

    Very friendly and helpful owners - for info a washing machine is not listed on the property specs but is there - we wish we could have stayed longer in this tardis! We will return

    Thank you for staying with us and we're glad you enjoyed yourselves in the barn! We hope to see you again in the future! Property Owner

    We loved the aga! The space outside was great for relaxing in the sunshine and eating meals. Hosts were very helpful and responsive! Convenient location near to Caerphilly and Cardiff, but in a quiet and peaceful setting, with plenty of lovely walks nearby.

    Thank you Charlie we're glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves in the barn ☺️ Property Owner
