“We would absolutely love to stay in ...”

We would absolutely love to stay in this cottage again, next time we'll walk the Golden Road across the Preseli Hills. We visited many different places from this cottage, including the beautiful Poppit Sands and Dinas Head. The cottage exceeded our expectations, it is tremendously well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is also spotlessly clean and the surrounding views are stunning. Thank you very much, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Old Tether Barn was, by far, the most well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage that we have stayed in. The location is stunning and the views on a clear day are wonderful. We wholeheartedly recommend Old Tether Barn - fabulous!!!

“The cottage is in an idyllic ...”

The cottage is in an idyllic location, very peaceful and a great base to tour Pembrokeshire. Local amenities are nearby. The cottage is home from home well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Spotless and very tasteful decor. Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes peace and tranquility. Fabulous

- Mrs Dix, March 2018
“There was certainly nothing ...”

There was certainly nothing ‘old’ about this lovely cottage except the ‘old fashioned’ welcome of being treated to a home from home experience. Just everything was taken into consideration to ensure that we had one of the best of stays. Fresh flowers and chocolates to greet us on our arrival just added to the pleasure of this break. If this is the high standard that one should expect from Sykes Cottages then I have no hesitation in recommending everyone to check them out.

“This cottage could easily have been ...”

This cottage could easily have been a two bedroom cottage but the owners have made a spacious one bed with extra snug rooms downstairs & upstairs plus in the outside grounds there are multiple seating areas. Lovely homely feel - well furnished, with quality ornaments, pictures - felt like a home not a rental. Exceptionally well stocked - particularly kitchen (cleaning products, pans, white goods) and lots of extras e.g. DVDs, books, games, toiletries, sewing kit.

“We had a great time at Old Tether ...”

We had a great time at Old Tether Barn. It was extremely comfortable and in a great location. The area and setting are beautiful and we really enjoyed getting away from it all for a week. And it was great coming back to the wood burning stove each evening. We also enjoyed meeting the 4 black sheep. The owners have done an amazing job in restoring this property with so much love and care and we are very grateful for everything they have done to get somewhere like this back into use after being in such a sorry state when they first took it on many years ago. Thanks again, Emma & David

My stay at The Old Tether Barn was simply fantastic. It was like a home from home. The barn was absolutely stunning and it was a little slice of heaven for me. The view was amazing and each morning I saw brown sheep. It was just what I needed, getting away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol and to spend some time recharging my batteries. Thank you to Sue and Rod for making my stay so comfortable.

“The Old Tether Barn lived up to all ...”

The Old Tether Barn lived up to all the reviews it has received. Spotlessly clean and with that homely touch it provided us with a home from home getaway holiday, location was perfect in every sense, peace and tranquillity at its best with the added bonus of sheep grazing just outside. Rod and Sue have done a great job transforming a run-down barn to a perfect bolt hole to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life if you need a quiet, peaceful holiday then this is the place. Highly recommended. Dave and Lynette Norfolk

Old Tether Barn was an extremely well presented and equipped place to stay. It had amazing views and was extremely peaceful. It was a delight to return to after a days walking and sight-seeing. It was a brilliant location for walks on the north coast. Although the property is quite remote, access is easy and owners have taken great care to make it accessible. We look forward to another visit to this great destination.

“Just Stunning..This Barn has been restored with so much Love and Respect..”

We just so loved our stay at Old Tether Barn..This Barn has been restored with so much love and respect..We have stayed at a number of places, over the years. Old Tether Barn, is the place that we have loved the most, of all.This was our last visit, as my husband in a War Veteran. This visit was just so important to us both. When you plan a holiday, from Australia, you just hope, that it as as good, as others say..We both just wanted to make Memories..and we have done that, at the Barn. It is very private, even though the main home is close. And that is a hard thing to do. I am a country girl, and my husband is a city person..So, to get the connection, for both people, I feel, is very hard to do. But, it is done, just so well. Loved he privacy of the Barn, and the garden..The wood burner, the little nooks and crannies, and the amazing loft..There are just lovely places, that gave places for both of us, to just enjoy..together of by ourselves..Shall I mention the sheep? And the big fat bumble bees, in the garden..When you arrive, this Barn just wraps it's arms around you, and you just never want to leave..We so wanted to bring it all back to Australia. Thank you both, as we feel that both of you, have been involved in this. And the balance is stunning..Thank you for allowing us to be apart of this wonderful place..

“This is a beautiful cottage in a ...”

This is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage sits in its own extensive grounds on the edge of a valley with far reaching views. The cottage is spotless and fully equipped to a very high standard and very comfortable, the bed is amazing, we both slept better than we have for a long time. It would be lovely to have had some garden loungers, but there was plenty of other comfortable garden furniture. The location is very quiet with the only the sounds of birds to be heard. It is a good place to view birds of prey hunting up and down the valley . It also had a very pretty well tended country garden.

“Old Tether Barn is just stunning.”

Old Tether Barn is just stunning. My Husband and I had a week there, and it was just not long enough. My husband is a Veteran, and we were making Memories, as to come this distance from Australia, is a long flight. This amazing Barn, just shows how much this lovely couple, wanted to do the right thing by this wonderful old Barn. To get the balance right is a difficult thing. The quality fittings throughout this Barn, the attention to all the small details. The wood burning stove, the little spaces, that gave both of us, a place to read, enjoy our own time. Then when we wanted time with each other, we could do that as well. A glass of wine..Sitting outside, in the little nook there, or, the table and chairs, in the warm sun..This lovely Barn, offers you all the privacy that you need. We have travelled and stayed at some lovely B&B's, but Old Tether Barn, is the one that caught our hearts. We only wish that we could have stayed so much longer. If we could come back, we would.. The care, the skill, the love and respect, that has gone into making this, a most wonderful place to stay, shows. This lovely old restored Barn, just wrapped it arms around us, and we did not want to leave...Shall we also mention the Sheep, the Garden, and the big fat Bumble Bees? Thank you both for allowing us, to have time at Old Tether Barn, it was such a wonderful gift, and we just loved it.

“We had never rented a holiday ...”

We had never rented a holiday cottage before so did not know what to expect. The Old Tether Barn was idyllic, exceptionally well equipped and comfortable. There were chocolates and wine to greet us with vases of fresh flowers. We could find no fault (my wife missed her internet but I counted that as a blessing!).

“It's hard to know where to start.”

It's hard to know where to start. The cottage was out in the wilds, but not difficult to find. The photos of the property were accurate, but inevitably couldn't convey the cosiness inside. A picture of the view would be useful, because sometimes there is little or indication of what awaits you. At the Old Tether Barn however, the view is magnificent. Relaxing in the garden, you may lack motivation to wander! Inside the cottage, everything has been thought of. If you feel the need to moan after a week here, you're probably just that sort of person!

The Old Tether Barn is superb, for us it was the ideal getaway location. The facilities were second to none and the quality throughout is outstanding. We just loved everything about the place. We have stayed in many self catering establishments and this has got to be one of the better ones. We would definitely be recommending it to our friends. Hopefully we will manage to book another stay at The Old Tether Barn in the future.

This place is great! In a perfect secluded location with beautiful views of rolling hills. The cottage is well situated to explore the Pembrokeshire coast national park - plenty of lovely walks, landmarks, gardens and towns to explore. Inside the house was spotless and so well equipped! The kitchen has everything you could wish for...muffin tins, lemon juicer, slow cooker...! The bathroom is lovely too and the wood burner a nice warming touch for a chilly evening. Fabulous! Cannot rate this delightful cottage highly enough. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Very well equipped cottage and all the fixtures, fittings and equipment were to a very high quality. The area itself is very good for walking which was the objective of our holiday. We found the kebab shop to be the pick of the takeaways in the village, the pizza's we had were especially good. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and the surrounding area for a holiday.

Really high quality, clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage-the best we have stayed in. Very quiet, rural location.

Would also have appreciated a bit of info about local amenities. eg location of health centre/doctor, nearest shop, where to leave dustbins (There are only small suggestions-everything was really lovely )

The property

Crymych 1.9 miles.

This beautiful detached dairy conversion is situated in one of the most picturesque locations within the National Park close to the village of Crymych in Pembrokeshire.

Situated in the shadow of the Iron Age hill fort of Foel Drygarn, Old Tethers Barn offers far reaching countryside views over surrounding farmland.

Retaining charm and character, you enter the cottage through the porch door where there is a space to leave your coats and boots after your outdoor walks and a utility/cloakroom with WC and basin.

Step up a small step into a delightful snug, with a slightly sloping floor, where a comfy sofa will be the ideal place to relax with a good book or maybe sit at the writing desk overlooking the open countryside to pen a postcard to friends and family.

A small step up from the snug brings you into the open plan living room which has apex beams and a woodburner for those cooler evenings.

Cook up special meals or prepare a picnic in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy a choice of eating places.

One step up leads you into the ground floor bedroom and into the family bathroom, where a quick shower or a long relaxing soak in the claw foot bath beckons.

A complete stay here will refresh you, but don't miss the array of days out on the nearby coast with sandy beaches, the famous coast path and boat trips.

Alternatively, visit historic castles or walk on the Preseli Hills, before stepping back in time with a visit to the Shire Horse Centre.

Returning to such a perfect cottage to plan the next day out will be one of the pleasures of your stay in Wales.
