• "The lodge is equipped with comfy furniture and all the amenities you need on a self catering holiday."

  The only downsides for us were the lack of control with the heating. It is only on twice a day, 2 hours in the morning and then from 4.30pm in the evening. As this is November with 2 and 3 degree days we were buying plenty of wood for the fire to keep warm. I had my 70 year old mother with me. The other minor glitch was having to complain the hot tub was too cold. The owner thankfully highered the temperature to 38.5 degrees from the 36 degrees it was set at, telling me 36 degrees is standard, even though their own literature in the lodge welcome book states it is set at 39 degrees. Because of these 2 points I would only come back here in the summer. I have stayed at quite a few lodges through Sykes and this is the first time we were not given access to the central heating control during the winter months.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you found the property to be comfortable. there has never been an issue with the heating at the property. If you had contacted us we would have rectified this straight away for you. Property Owner

• "Really nice holiday place, we would recommend."

  Lovely Owners who were very helpful. Large hot tub, always on and well maintained by property owners. Great living spaces and bedrooms. Nice and warm if you want it to be, nice and cool and breezy if you want it to be. We had to have some wood for the burner on one night because "british summer" lol, we just messaged and the owner brought us some straight away. Towel radiator and plenty of other radiators to dry towels on when you've "hot tubbed". Plenty of hot water at all/any times. Really nice hot clean shower with rain head and normal head. Spacious and great. Surprising how a poor bathroom can ruin a holiday, well this one won't at all, did not disappoint in any way. Kitchen was good, plenty of equipment to cook and look after yourself and family. Only slight minor for us was no washing machine, but the linens and towels were changed for us on the Friday (as we were there for 2 weeks), and there's a launderette in Borth (and one in Aber). Dishwasher tablets were provided too, and a nice welcome basket with some great "just arrived" goodies until you can get yourself sorted. An easy walk down into Borth town (just out the front of the property, down through the neighbouring caravan park entrance, and along the river to the "animalarium", then along a road into Borth itself. Great with the 4 legged friend(s), and took us about 30 minutes including doggy sniffing and jumping in the river stops, to get to the main street. This is good, as the road way to walk in would feel a little hairy at parts. There is a road just by the property but honestly you can't really hear it. TV in main room and bedroom, both smart, and modern, so you can get your own stuff on or use the large amount of included entertainment. There's a neighboring cottage attached, their front door faces away from yours, and we only saw people a handful of times to say hello to and you couldn't hear anything from their side even if we were both out in our respective hot tubs. Plenty of parking out front a few short steps from the front of your cottage. I would recommend this to any friend or family, it's a great place and the owners were lovely.

• "The actual accommodation was very good and clean."

  However, there was often (in the daytime) some noise from the road traffic above and from what appeared to be a farm/maintenance yard next door. The space outside was a sun trap, but no BBQ (or loungers) and the outside bench/table was rotting along with a ripped/dirty parasol so all meals were eaten inside. The road from the property (on exit) was sometimes very difficult to join given the lack of visibility when turning right. PS If you intend to go out all day these issues may be less relevant to you.

• "The accommodation was lovely and clean and spacious."

  .everything needed provided ..comfortable double bed and two very comfortable sofas...Great shower too....however on arrival stepping into the building it was dark and felt cold...the details in advertising the property stated a basket of wood for the log burner would be provided...as there wasn't one we rang the given contact number to be told they no longer provide it but the host said she would see what she could do...we decided to go out to try and source somewhere to buy fire wood...luckily we were given directions from a lady in the local shop and were able to purchase some ...despite it being late in the day ..once we got the log burner going it warmed our accommodation up so we were comfortable ..maybe in summer ..warmer months there may be no need for the log burner but during our stay we needed it as the underfloor heating is on a timer set by the hosts and is totally impractical for guests... without the fire the accommodation felt cold...we also felt that despite the comfortable mattress the actual bedding could do with upgrading ..the pillows were flat and the quilt didn't keep us warm .. In general we were happy with our stay ..there has obviously been a lot of thought and care into the layout and design of everything inside The only thing that would put us of staying again is the outside area ...there is a huge canopy/porch outside the double doors which makes inside very dark...the outside area for the accommodation is grim...and dominated by concrete slabs...gravel and a huge steel structure housing the hot tub...totally uninspiring and not inviting...and the view is of some sort of large maintenance yard ? Another not so good point is that the accommodation is right next to a busy and noisy road which could also be heard within the accommodation ...on the whole the actual accommodation was good despite the heating system however the outside area made you feel you were anywhere else but near the sea ..and wasn't a uplifting space to want to be in .

• "Absolutely loved our stay, the accommodation was perfect for two couples (and a dog) looking to relax."

  The weather was awful so the undercover hot tub was perfect and lots of little extras like milk and bacon were a nice touch! Only downside was the wood provided was damp so couldn't get a fire going, however it wasn't needed as it was toasty at all times. A visitors book would have been nice for tips from others on where to eat locally, pubs etc. but overall a great stay and we would definitely book again! Thanks

• "Lovely cottage with everything you need."

  We used as a base as tried to fit in lots over the three days we were there. Nice beaches nearby, car required to make the most of the area. The ONLY thing I would add to the property is a mop and only because of the hot tub - although to be fair, there may have been one and I just didnt see it :) We booked last minute and we had a really great time x

  Thoughtfully laid out within the constraints of the old barn and equipped to the highest standards. As ever there are things we would have done differently, but these are points of personal choice and not really important in the overall scheme of things. Overall a great holiday home.

  Had a very relaxed stay. The hot tub was fantastic and as it was under cover we were able to use it whatever the weather. Property is very well presented, very clean, with good quality fixtures and fittings and everything worked as it should. All very well maintained. The welcome pack was a bonus and had the most delicious fresh eggs and bacon included. Thanks Rhiain. Kids loved the daily visits from the owners 3 cats. They are so friendly and cute!
