Price Match Guarantee

If you find a cheaper price anywhere online, we’ll refund you the difference.

Price Match Guarantee

If you find your online booking of this property through Sykes cheaper on another website and you meet the conditions below, let us know and we will pay you an amount equal to the difference in price.

Conditions:

The other offer that you could have booked on another website on the same day that you made your Sykes’ booking is identical to it – it is the same specific property, the same check-in and check-out dates, for the same number of guests and it has got the same, or better for guests, cancellation terms.

The other offer is cheaper than your Sykes’ booking when you ignore all optional extras on both and all vouchers, discount codes, gift cards, loyalty, reward or other type of membership or repeat business schemes and any generic promotion on the other offer.

Within 7 days of making your Sykes’ booking you have provided us with evidence of the other offer that is acceptable to Sykes (for example, a screenshot, print out or picture of the full details of the other offer from the point in the booking journey when all that’s left to do is pay) together with its cancellation terms.

This guarantee only applies to a property when you see it advertised on the property listing when you make your booking.

How to claim:

Send the evidence we’ve asked for above to pricematch@sykescottages.co.uk along with your booking reference.

We’ll check if it qualifies for our Price Match Guarantee.

If it does, we will pay you the relevant difference within 14 days. That’s it!

Surrounded by rolling countryside and just a short drive from the breathtaking Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, it’s the perfect place to slow down with your family and friends.

Step inside and you’ll find a beautifully designed space with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The kitchen is well equipped for home-cooked meals, which you can enjoy in the homely living and dining area, complete with a crackling woodburning stove and a TV for quiet evenings in.

There’s also a handy utility room with a washing machine to make longer stays even easier.

The two bedrooms, a comfortable king-size and a twin, offer a place to rest those sleepy heads after a day of exploring.

The king-size bedroom treats you to lovely countryside views, where the morning light spills over the fields and the hills stretch out beneath the wide, ever-changing Welsh skies.

Waking up here feels like breathing in pure peace.

With both a bathroom and a separate wet room, there’s plenty of space for everyone to freshen up in comfort.

Outside, the large enclosed garden is a real highlight.

With a mix of lawn, gravel, and patio, it’s perfect for alfresco dining, morning coffee in the sunshine, or a long soak in the private hot tub under the stars.

On a clear day, the sweeping views are simply stunning, blue skies arching overhead, birds wheeling in the distance, and nothing but green hills as far as the eye can see.

Stepping out into calm Merthyr Cynog, near Brecon in Powys, you'll find an array of remarkable experiences waiting to be discovered.

Tranquil days can be spent exploring the quiet Welsh countryside, awash with idyllic walking and cycling paths where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of local wildlife.

Not far from your doorstep, the dazzling Brecon Beacons National Park ensures a host of outdoor adventures, including hiking, mountain biking, or even stargazing, it's recognised as an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Perhaps visit the charming town of Brecon, steeped in history and home to the majestic Brecon Cathedral, inviting coffee shops, and traditional Welsh eateries.

You could also take a day to learn about the local history at the fascinating Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh.

Whether you're hiking the nearby trails, visiting local landmarks, or simply sitting back and soaking up the views, Waun Yscir is a place where memories are made and the sky always feels just a little bit bigger.
