"We enjoyed our holiday at Seadrift."
It was lovely that we were able to leave the car for a couple of days and have beach/country walks on the doorstep. The village shop had any extras we needed and the local pubs provided excellent food. along with very friendly locals.We appreciated the peace and quiet and had undisturbed sleep at night.The only things we noticed was occasional hooting of the owl at night and birdsong in the mornings our general "Cabin in the woods experience " was very relaxing, and felt isolated , although it wasn't really.. It is also a good base to explore around the area and beyond, we saw lots of places we hadn't seen before, aware that we could return to a lovely cosy real fire in the evenings. Its a shame its not open all year. Thank you to the owners for their communication.

"Two items would really make this 10 out 10 1) Small freezer 2) outside tap to help cleanup after water sports, this would be very useful to clean up without dragging sand into cabin."
Great location, shopping is 5 miles away in Johnstown! Local shop is only open in AM to Lunch. Local pubs are good value with limited menu, we found the Farmers Arms (Llanybri) to be accommodating if we had failed to book for dinner.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback. We have taken all of your comments onboard. The property does in fact, have an outside tap for your use, we have now updated the property description to make this clearer. Thanks again! Property Owner

"The most beautiful spot for nature lovers - wonderful area."
Wooded backwater, with fabulous sandy estuary for brilliant dog walks. Quiet and peaceful with panoramic views almost from the doorstep. Wooden cabin which is far better inside than it looks from outside. Large and airy living room/kitchen. Well equipped, with thoughtful covers over furniture for us dog lovers. Dog treats left for us too. Large bedroom with very comfortable large bed. Bathroom with overbath shower and so many cleaning products available for us to use. Everything is provided for a simple, unfussy stay. LLansteffan is an undiscovered prize - long may it stay as such. Hope to return.

"Seadrift is a lovely location if you like peace and quiet."
I have been coming to seadrift for a number of years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. The only thing that lets seadrift down now is the road leading up to seadrift is a dirt road and over the years has not been maintained there are a lot of pot holes and is very uneven and it has got worse over the years. Other than that you are not far from the beach and is great for dog walkers.

"I was really apprehensive prior to our stay."
The reviews were pretty hit and miss. The cabin, itself, it's location, Llansteffan was amazing. So peaceful and we completely relaxed for the week. The cabin itself has recently been painted dark green. Really well equipped. The place was spotless, we took our own throws with us and covered the sofas as they smelt a little 'doggy' which I suppose is inevitable with a dog friendly accommodation. That was the only thing I could criticize really and didn't bother us at all. I can't wait to go back. Camarthen is only a few miles away but the shop and pub is in walking distance and sells all the essentials. A proper hidden retreat.

"Having read reviews we didn't really know what to expect but we were really happy with this little gem!"
It met our requirements. A few small things, it could have been a bit cleaner (floors). The chairs don't fit well under the dining table, there were no prosecco glasses (flutes) which we like to have. We managed fine with the clear directions provided by the owner for our arrival. The keys worked fine in the doors, a little wiggle and they were fine. Log burner glass was filthy but we cleaned it so we could see the nice fire burning. The thermostat on the wall in the hallway is loud and ticking constantly, which is abit annoying at night. We would love to go back and stay again. Overall, we had a great 5 days away, it was a little retreat!

"The communication was excellent as were the directions and instructions."
The place is just so lovely with the estuary and beach on the doorstep. Wild rabbits dotted around. Great walks, quiet and beautiful surroundings. The cabin is well equipped and laid out with everything you'd need for a family of four. The wood burner is perfect for the colder months to cosy on down and the enclosed decking perfect for enjoying those Summer evenings outside. Couldn't recommended it more.

"The area is lovely and very quiet and we really looked forward to returning however the lodge is more than a little tired there are so many areas requiring attention the cold tap on the bath is not attached to the bath, the plug hole on the bath leaks, the kettle needs shaking to switch on, both the front and back door keys both need wiggling to work (a fire hazard?"
), the WiFi router is glowing in the main bedroom, the oven and pans have not been cleaned properly for sometime, the heating timer in the hall ticks really loud all night, there are a lot of cobwebs everywhere.

"This is an absolutely delightful cabin set in a wonderful copse."
Perfectly secure for our dog and comfy enough for us and him. The kitchen had everything we needed and was stocked up with condiments etc. Really idyllic place and so quiet and calming. They had quilts on the settees to accommodate your four legged friends which was a lovely personal touch that maintained our ‘home from home’ routine (spoilt dog ! ) the beach area was stunning and completely empty during our entire visit. I am registered disabled with walking difficulties but found the entire area viable and simply magical to be in. I must be honest that I sulked all the way home because I did not want to leave. We would definitely love to return soon. Thank you so much to Sykes and the owners of Seadrift for a much loved break away from civilisation x

"Skye Cottages very helpful as I had to change the booking before we went - the cabin itself was surprisingly very warm even when heaters weren’t on and the bed was again surprisingly very comfortable."
I think the only constructive comment I have to make is that perhaps the cabin should have had a covered area such as a porch because with the weather being so bad and several dogs we needed to dry them before going indoors

This was our first family holiday, two adults, a baby and two dogs and it was just perfect.
We had a great week weather wise which of course helped. Great location for dogs and they were well secured within the cabin, they loved the wildlife... A little too much.
The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was lovely and quiet but just a walk away to the village. Great tea room and pubs, very friendly.
We love Llansteffan and actually got engaged in the castle 3 years ago so it's a special place for us.

"Lovely cabin quiet and peaceful, dog friendly, which is what we wanted."
Near the sea. Wi fi a big bonus. Ideal holiday for us and the dogs. Hidden in a little wooded area on the estuary. Lots wildlife and rabbits. Lovely big enclosed porch on the front with table and chairs to sit on. Small gravelled garden at rear, we didn't use this as it is enclosed but my dog is very small so she could still escape. But not from the porch. We walked along the beach, rocky in places to Llansteffan beach every day, it's not far 400 metres. Instead of taking the car, as the road is off road, ideal if you have 4x4 and if another car comes one of you needs to reverse a good 100 metres. In Llansteffan you have the castle and just a couple of shops, pubs! Sleepy little village. Lovely big sandy beach you can walk for miles. So quiet this time of year. Dogs only allowed on the end closest to you all year, not allowed on main beach April to sept. But the beaches were empty apart from dog walkers. So no one was following the rules and these were all the locals. In all we had a fabulous time and will def go back.
