Glan Helyg

We absolutely loved staying in Glan Helyg.

So much space and so comfortable. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside under the verandah and eating in the outside dining area.

Beautiful property with very useful outdoor sheltered dining area.

Perfectly situated for a town property. The public car park next door was not a problem. As with many larger properties we’ve rented over the years the capacity of the refrigerator would be an issue if the property was fully occupied but for two couples it was fine. Minor irritation is the fridge door shelf, missing.

The central heating instructions are complicated to say the least.

The fridge door shelf is missing and there’s only one oven shelf. But the house and all the rooms are large and the layout is good.

We had a really enjoyable holiday in Newport.

However, I do want to give you some feedback because, at the price point of over two thousand pounds for a week, and based on our experience of many other holiday houses in the UK, we had certain expectations of cleanliness and presentation that unfortunately were not met. Overall, the house gave the impression of being a part-time second home that guests are allowed to use, rather than a professionally managed holiday property prepared with care for paying guests. A few examples to illustrate: The house was generally not very clean (hairs in the bathroom, sand in drawers, cobwebs and dead flies in skylights). Outdoor furniture was covered in bird droppings and cobwebs; we had to clean it before use. The towels smelled musty once damp, and pillows were stained, yellowing and lumpy. The beds hadn’t been checked – we found Duplo, pegs and other items under them, as well as plum pits left on a window sill. Kitchen equipment felt old and tired, with some utensils damaged; no cloths were provided for washing up. Cleaning materials were left randomly in cupboards, giving a neglected and cluttered feel. A floor light in the garden decking collapsed, leaving a hole that was a safety hazard. Individually, some of these issues might have been minor, but together they added up to a sense that the property was not prepared to the standard one would expect. We’re sharing this not to be negative for its own sake, but because we think these are things you would want to know if you want to maintain a reputation for quality and justify the rental price. The house itself and the location are lovely, and with better attention to cleanliness, upkeep, and guest-readiness, future guests could have a much better experience.

Excellent accommodation, home from home, in a beautiful village with all facilities.

Coastal path 5 min's away. Highly recommend.

Spacious and comfortable stay, well equipped kitchen, lots of space , great kitchen table, facilities , and super location in centre of Newport, beach was out of this world and lovely area, highly recommend

Glan Helyg is a lovely well equipped home we stayed as a family of 8 adults and had nothing to complain about.

The kitchen was well equipped wanting for nothing and the living accommodation was well suited for a large number of people. The outside space was secure for our dog which made it easier and did not require supervision. The location was excellent very short walk to the beach and local shops.

The roasting tins and baking tins need replacing.

It would have been nice for the owners to supply some essentials such as milk, salt and pepper. Looking at the photos we were expecting the back garden to be a larger. The front twin bedroom needs some curtains, it just had very thin net curtains.

A lovely light and airy house.

Well equipped and comfortable. Close to all the amenities of Newport, with easy access to the coastal path.

The property was great for our family lots of space and room to interact.

I felt the pictures of the back garden were a little misleading as in the photos of the property it looked much bigger. Also the grass hadn’t been cut. Didn’t really matter though as it rained for most of the week. That said we enjoyed our stay

A beautiful property in a beautiful part of the country.

Very well equipped and very comfortable. Lots of space (and bathrooms!) in the house and plenty of car parking. Listing is accurate and the property is not difficult to find. Worth knowing that whilst EV charging is not available at the property, very close by, in sight of the property, are four chargers in the nearby car park. We charged our hybrid without difficulty.

Lovely house in a great location with good parking.

All very comfortable, shame about the weather!! :-)

Excellent

Lovely!

!!

A real find for 4 women each wanting their own rooms and space.

A beautiful and spacious home in a very convenient spot to access shops, pubs, restaurants etc in Newport. Yet, it was quiet and peaceful with ample parking. After a few hiccups with the heating, everything was quickly sorted out with Glan Helyg’s friendly owners. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

Superb house and location for a family Easter holiday (6 adults).

I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and plan to re-book when we're next visiting North Pembrokeshire.

Excellent property, everything spot on.

Lovely and warm, very comfortable especialy the beds. This property is a credit to the owners, we had a great holiday, thank you. Peter

Great property with a new kitchen.

This is a wonderful property in a great location. It's right in the heart of the village with a stunning short walk along the coast path to the beach and the famed pembrokehsire coastal walks. The off road parking (for multiple cars) is a huge benefit. Our boys loved visiting the play park and skate park ,which are a minutes walk away, every day The property is comfortable and well furnished with lovely oak furniture and a bespoke wooden staircase. We can see the sea from a couple of the upstairs windows and dining room and the house has the Presilli hills as a back drop. The property even has a beautiful new kitchen. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided. Thank you for the wine- it was a lovely touch. We'll be back. We will be back!

Spacious and homely property.

Great get together for 4 couples. Good parking for our 4 cars. Very clean and well equipped. Would book again. Only problem was refuse. I would suggest a neat framed notice on kitchen wall above bins - ( Some bins need to be left by roadside on MONDAY eve for collection Tuesday. See Information book for details. ) Also list on each bin of what to include would help. This would avoid problems that you must be having. We can't be the only one's who didn't expect such an early weekly collection. Above information in book is hidden in long paragraphs and not highlighted.

Its a lovely place and I would definitely recommend it to friends.

As a bit of positive feedback, the kitchen feels small and quite dated, which detracts a little from the rest of the house. It is fully functional, but tight when more than 1 person is working in the kitchen.

Another enjoyable stay at Glan Helyg

The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and perfect for walks and exploring the area.

There was plenty of space for our family. There are a couple of things that I would add, a curtain over the front door, one of our party is not as mobile and preferred the walk in shower, but then had to walk through the hall to get back to her bedroom, and a curtain would prevent the neighbours seeing. Also the shrubs in the back garden I believe if kept shorter would allow a view of the sea. But all in all it was beautiful.

The house was large and the layout was good however it was not clean!

The carpet in the downstairs bedroom had dark dog hairs on so much so that when my daughter changed my grandson’s nappy he was left with dog hairs stuck to his skin. There was also dog hairs on the kitchen floor, ding floor, conservatory, stairs and hallway. The downstairs bathroom smelt of wee and the towels were musty. I spoke to the cleaner who was rude and abrupt. We paid £1600 for four nights and were offered £50 which we could not contest. To say we were very disappointed was an understatement.

Good sized cottage in a great location.

Property is looking a little tired and in need of a redecoration. Some more basics provided would be nice, more toilet rolls, hand wash in all bathrooms and towels provided would be beneficial.

We absolutely loved the stay in your cottage.

So comfortable and easy to find what we needed. The weather was a bit chilly for our trip, but the home was warm and a lovely space to relax in after being outdoors. Thank you

The accommodation was excellent - Spacious & well-equipped with a wonderful outside covered area where you could sit and enjoy the sunset.

Very comfortable beds. Plentiful parking.

Glan Helyg The house was warm, comfortable, well equipped.

spotlessly clean . and i would recommend it. we would definitely love to use it again. Thank you B and E Bateman and D Treacy

Lovely house, ideal location for pubs shops and walks, excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities and more than enough room for everyone.

I have been holidaying at the cottage for over 10 years and really enjoy it It is just perfect for our family .

Just a small point maybe look at the kitchen utensils The glasses e.g wine could do with updating --very small but maybe it's just me ! Hope to be back next year -thank you

Very pleased with the location, the ambience and the well equipped the kitchen.

Upset by Sykes initial approach to Covid, however you redeemed yourselves.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful, very well equipped house.

The only thing we would have liked were more relaxing chairs in the garden for when we were too idle to go to the beach.
