"Property is in great location but don’t be fooled by the quirky cottage."
Property was dirty and I’m not sure how the property ever passed any fire regulations as the 3 connecting doors are clearly not fire doors. With both properties having log burners and no real escape route out of the bedroom we certainly didn’t feel safe. Owner was very welcoming but I’m afraid we won’t be back.
Suggestions for owner - new roof window needed in bedroom (one that opens), fire doors, step stool required to reach those dusty cobwebs & window sills, night light down stairs to make visits to the toilet easier during the night. Clothes horse to dry wet clothes, boot store or rack to stack those dirty boots.
Thank you for your feedback. The owner would like to point out that a clothes airer is provided and there is room in the cleaning cupboard for dirty boots. To re-assure future guests, both the cottage and the adjoining farmhouse have current, valid, Fire Risk Assessments. Despite fire doors not being a requirement in a holiday rental of this type, the owner has, in fact, had them fitted. Property Owner

"The holiday cottage is in a beautiful location and has been nicely decorated."
HOWEVER:
1)The walls and doors between the two cottages are thin which means that there is very little sound insulation. We were very fortunate that the people staying "next door" were pleasant. But from previous reviews this could have been a very uncomfortable stay.
2) Apart from a hanging rail, There is no storage i.e. a set of draws where to can put your clothes in the bedroom, which is odd in such a nice house.
3) Unfortunately the bed sheet though laundered was far from clean and the bed blanket covered in dog fur. Both were replaced by the apologetic owner.
4) Given the above he cottage is vastly overpriced
This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location so its a real shame that seemingly straight froward issues that have been fed back on many occasions are not being resolved.

"Lovely cottage."
We hired this and the farmhouse for all our family including a baby and dogs.,found it all worked really well. Lots of walks and lovely beaches all within half an hours drive.

"There were a number of things that disappointed us."
Primarily we did not think it was good value for money compared to our recent stay at the red barn in Devon. Cost per head at this cottage was around £650 whereas for a similar week in Devon would have been around £500 or less. In Devon there was 2 pools, tennis court, huge outside space plus much more inside room. THis for us made Panteurig very overpriced.
There were a few small things that were irritating, including having power off for a day, and being asked to take our own towels in particular.
However the biggest issue was the noise from the other part of the house. There was nothing in the description which warned us that any noise made in the other part of the house would be heard. The guests in the other part of the house were late to bed and late risers whereas we are the opposite. This meant that they disturbed us in the early hours after midnight whereas we probably disturbed them at 7am. I wish we had warning of this.
We would appreciate a reply on these issues. We have never had cause to complain before about Sykes but do feel this was disappointing given the cost
The website does state that Panteurig Farmhouse and Panteurig Cottage are interconnected but we are sorry if you missed this. Property Owner

"The cleanliness on arrival was not satisfactory
A plague of flying ants ..."

At least 5 items of pottery & glasses were chipped or cracked
The splashback in the kitchen is peeling away from the unit
Great location

"Would be good to have an armchair as well as sofa."
It was a fabulous location. The host was lovely and welcoming and left some delicious Braer Bread. The location is perfect for keen walkers.

"Way way over priced for a very mediocre property."
- very tired - needs updating and cleaned. Cobwebs everywhere- dead flies in light fittings and on roller blinds. Windows filthy. Walk in wardrobe damp and smelly - no drawer storage in bedroom. Noise from adjoining property so loud felt like they were in the same room - very very disappointing. Lady owner was lovely / her complementary cake was fab and there was always lots of hot water .

"Lovely cottage and very friendly helpful owner."
The garden is not enclosed so dog owners beware. Area beautiful.
I was in the smaller off the two cottages with friends in the larger one which was fine however, if I had not of known 'next door' I think it would have infringed non my enjoyment and it is just a basic interconnecting door.

"The cottage is a quiet remote retreat, right off the road up a track, close to lovely local walks."
Old farm building renovated, traditional Pembs cottage. It’s next to a working farm so beef herd nearby. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Personal touches like a vase of flowers and freshly baked bara brith. The owner is friendly and very welcoming.
