"The perfect hideaway with a luxurious touch!"
We loved our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone looking to make special memories in a beautiful location, with a loved one. Sitting on the balcony at any point of the day would never disappoint us, it was truly heavenly. Both Tanya and Carl were very helpful and immediately welcoming, thank you for our amazing week!

"Super cottage in wonderful location."
The owners, Tanya and Carl, were very helpful and really delightful without being intrusive in any way. The immediate surroundings of the cottage are beautiful and the area has many places of interest within easy reach. Well worth the 250 mile journey to get there!

"Stunning!!!"
The views from the balcony are breathtaking. All you can hear is the sound of the sheep in the fields and birds singing. And we had regular visits from a beautiful woodpecker.
The owners are very friendly and although they are just next door, they just leave you to enjoy your holiday.
Highly recommended

"An extremely comfortable and well equipped Cottage in a beautiful setting."
Carl and Tanya made us feel very welcome and at home. Hopefully back next year and will remember to bring binoculars, these are essential for watching what the Wildlife and Sheep get up to.

"Excellent property."
Comfortable, warm, beautiful location with marvellous views from lounge veranda and bedroom balcony.
Unfortunately, no Wi-Fi and very little (if any) mobile signal (owner’s - next door - landline number, in case of emergencies).
Located in what appears to be ‘the middle of nowhere’, overlooked by the ruins of a spectacular castle (within reasonable walking distance of cottage), this is the place for peace (no sounds except birds and sheep), relaxation and getting away from everything (nearest town about 10/15 minutes drive).
Numerous excellent walks from the cottage itself.
A place to get away from the humdrum of everyday life, rejuvenate and recharge one’s batteries.
The owner’s are excellent (there if needed, otherwise they will not impinge on your privacy/solitude).
A place my wife and I would highly recommend (dependent of course, on what is desired by those who choose to stay here).
For peace, quiet, relaxation, views, comfort and gorgeous location, we would definitely return.

"A gorgeous little cottage in a stunning location."
We had a wonderful relaxing time. Tanya was very warm and welcoming.
The cottage was very clean and well kitted out with everything we needed. It was lovely and warm and the bed was very comfortable.
We parked our car right at the front of the property and didn't move it again until we left to go home. Two fantastic walks from the cottage door, stunning scenery and a castle to explore. The balcony is perfect for star gazing on a clear night.
Top marks for everything for this cosy little country cottage.

"A superb getaway cottage."
Kept to a very high standard, the owners have thought of everything to make this a carefree and relaxing holiday destination. The views are superb and the panoramic windows, both with balconies provide the opportunity to just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet. Best to take a good supply of food and drinks so that you can settle in and “do nothing” for a while.

"This has to be the best place we have stayed with Sykes."
The minute I saw it on the web site I knew we’d love it but as soon as we arrived in the area and saw the castle upon the hill it just took our breath away. Tanya was there to meet us and told us all about the lovely cottage and we had the most wonderful week. The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable. The views were amazing and the thing that made it so special was the total peace and tranquility. On our first night we looked up at the starry sky and saw the Milky Way. The only sound is the river down below. The deck outside is a great place to sit and watch the birds and upstairs the covered balcony is a sun trap and great place to sit and relax.
Lovely walks from the cottage including the Castle walk with stunning views of the castle and cottage. Lots of tourist information in the cottage and the wonderful owners are always happy to chat about the area.

"We had a perfect holiday in the most idyllic setting imaginable."
The accommodation was by far the best we have ever stayed in. Spacious, comfortable with plenty of seating inside and out, and all that was needed for a self catering stay. It was a real wrench to leave each day to visit the local attractions, all of which were either from the door or just a short drive away. The owners were very friendly and we feel privileged that they allowed us to share their piece of paradise. Sykes should definitely make this a 5 tick cottage.

"The views from this cottage are absolutely stunning and the cottage itself was maintained to a very high standard."
One thing to note is that the local pub has closed down so the nearest one is located in Llandeilo which is a 15 minute drive away.

"My holiday week at Dan Castell Cottage was great."
The accommodation was comfortable and spacious, especially for just two people. The owners, who resided adjacent to the cottage, were friendly, helpful and charming throughout our stay. The weather, in the lap of the gods, was pretty good. I have booked with Sykes Cottages many times in the past and have always been pleased with the accommodation provided.
My only gripe with this holiday, which should have been in 2020, is with Sykes. When I tried in early 2020 to obtain a refund, as I realised due to the pandemic the holiday wasn't going to happen, I found it impossible to find a way to contact Sykes. It was basically assumed I would re-book for 2021. The money for the holiday was already with the company and although I had taken out the insurance suggested I was not about to be sent a refund. So, I re-booked the holiday for 2021 and was then told there would be a further £65 taken in March 2021, I guess due to a proposed increase in prices for this year. This happened when Sykes were, at the time, offering discounts on holiday cottages. It's easy to blame communication problems with the Covid 19 outbreak but direct contact with someone at Sykes Cottages would have solved a few problems.

"It is wonderful to be able to walk in numerous directions straight from the door of Dan Castell."
Tranquility in the beauty of rural Camarthenshire,
The cottage is very well-appointed with a lovely big bathroom with separate shower and a big heated towel rail. We appreciated the two balconies with their views of garden and lush valley. Practical layout with excellent kitchen and dining areas. Full-length windows maximise light and views.
Wifi in the property would be important to anyone needing to stay in contact with work or on a writing retreat. That said, it was great to get away from being constantly on-line!
Hard to tear ourselves away at the end of our stay! We hope to be back before long!

"The setting and cottage were idyllic and tranquil."
The hosts were very welcoming. A perfect getaway for a quiet holiday and a great location for visiting the south west of Wales.
The WiFi and phone signal is intermittent depending on where you are in the cottage. However this didn’t detract from our holiday, in fact it was a bonus.
