"Lovely comfortable property and nice hosts."
Great location. The welcome pack was appreciated. Could do with more cutlery and crockery. Once the dishwasher was full, nothing to use. Heating was easy to use and efficient, which was needed with the snow!
-
"Our stay at Varley Villa was great it had ever think we needed and a lovely welcome hamper for us as well, left by the owners many thanks."
It is a lovely villa and in a great location near the top of the high street. We was in Newtown visiting friends, so all been well we will book again. Many thanks again.

"We had a lovely stay at Varley Villas and the accommodation was really great."
I would just make a few little suggestions and these are just "would be nice to haves" - In the twin room somewhere to hang clothes and a mirror. In the Kitchen it would be nice to have have doubles of cutlery, plates, bowls, etc. However these minor things would in no way stop us from 100% recommending Varley Villas to family and friends, we had a lovely stay in your cosy accommodation. The owners were also very friendly and stressed that they were there to help should we need them. There was just one little thing the directions of how to find the house once you have reached Newtown are not accurate and we had to ring the owner for directions. So if Sykes Cottages Admin Team could just alter this it would help.

"Varley Villa was absolutely gorgeous!"
From the outside it looks superb, well maintained and clean. Upon entering the Villa it is amazing, clean, comfortable and well set out. There is everything you need to enjoy your break from cutlery to a washing machine. The bathroom is great, shower is lovely, powerful and to top it all walk-in. Bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of storage. Set in a quiet part of Newtown but within walking distance of all amenities. Hosts Ross and Trish very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Top marks all around and thank you for a lovely break. Carole and Paul.

"Lovely stay, with a wonderful welcome pack."
Villa was well presented and had everything we needed for our stay there. Enclosed front decking was good to provide freedom for the dog in a secure area. Good location for walking into Newtown and a lovely park for dogs nearby. Further afield there were opportunities to explore Oswestry and Shrewsbury.

"Varley Villa is lovely little property."
It’s well equipped and the owners had left ample supplies of kitchen/bathroom essentials and a generous welcome hamper. The location is very convenient for the town centre but it was quiet and peaceful sitting out on the veranda.
-
"Varley villa is so comfortable and cosy the owners thought of everything, dog treats towels, dog blankets, as for us humans there was all you could possibly need, a lovely hamper full of tasty treats."
The villa is situated just minutes from a lovely park, and also from the town centre. I would recommend Varley villa it's an absolute gem, I'd love to return at a future date

"Excellent accommodation - everything was better than expected, lovely welcome box and basic essentials provided."
The lodge is minutes from town centre and the lady in the tourist information centre couldn’t do enough for us. We had marvellous weather so could spend time sat outside the lodge on the well maintained patio. We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Lovely stay and all the goodies from the owners were delicious."
Very clean and everything provided that you needed. Thankyou
-
"The attention to detail is superb."
Welcome pack of bread, milk, eggs welsh cakes extra treats of wine, crisps, biscuits and jam, plus treats for the dog. Lots of games for children. The cottage is immaculate and in an excellent location with a fantastic park almost opposite for walks and picnics. All in all a fantastic stay.

"We could not wish for a nicer holiday cottage or nicer people running it."
Plenty of very nice places to visit. Bala lake, Barnmouth, Aberdovey Lake Vernwy, Welshpool, and the list goes on.
-
"A beautiful property, with great facilities, and n a quiet location but within a few minutes' walk into the town."
The nibbles were a lovely touch, as were the toiletries. All in all a perfect stay, and we are planning to return. Thank you.
-
"Fabulous place to stay."
They had thought of everything. Very comfortable & convenient for the time. It really is a home away from home. Will definitely stay at again if I am in the area.
-
"A lovely property, clean and warm, beds comfy, walk in shower great."
Poor weather prevented us from sitting out on verandah but on sunnier days we think it would be lovely. Short walk into town and to train station. We used the trains to travel to Aberystwyth, Tywyn, and Welshpool. There was a nearby park for walking the dog but due to exceptional wet Spring it was very muddy. Owners left us a box of treats, bread, milk , eggs, wine, crisps. These were much appreciated. We had a great short break and would definitely come back here again.

"Varley villa is very nicely set up especially for people with less mobility."
It is very clean and comfortable with everything you need for a holiday. The hosts are lovely and respond to any issues immediately. The welcome back is the best we have ever had, home made bread and cakes, eggs, milk, butter plus a lot of extras. Villa is walking distance to the town and good walking around for the dog. It was a shame the weather was not nice enough to sit outside as a nice little patio. I would return if in the area again.

"Could not fault anything."

"Varley Villa is beautiful."
The photos do not do the property justice. It has the Wow factor and the owners Ross and Trish give it the Wow plus 1. From the moment we arrived we felt at home especially with a welcome hamper including hot home made bread. A beautiful park within 100 metres to walk our dog and the town full of interesting shops, pubs and takeaways. The property is very comfortable, luxurious walk in shower, fully fitted kitchen and a great decking and seating area. Ross and Trish should be extremely proud of the offer and we will remember it for a long time and hope to be back soon. Varley Villa offers great value for money and if you fancy a luxurious property and throw in a friendly town, a park close by with great hosts then this is the place for you. The park offers the opportunity to enjoy the countryside and the cafes close by provide coffee and cakes before heading back to relax. There really is nothing negative to add, the booking is simple and we were provided with all the information we needed to enjoy a great break. Ross and Trish...Thank You

"Valley Villa was exceptional."
The hosts Ross and Trish had thought of everything and more. It was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed our walks in the lovely park and the little town. We went out to a couple of country pubs for a meal, The horseshoe was lovely. Would highly recommend to our friends and family.
-
"The villa is peaceful, yet only a few minutes' walk from the town centre - perfect for our short break."
Very dog-friendly too!
-
"The only issue we had was with the smart tv, to us it was complicated to use because we are not that "tech savi"."
The hosts were superb, the villa was in the centre of the town, very convenient and parking was effortless.

"Super clean property with quality fixtures and fittings."

"We had a fabulous week at Varley Villa."
The weather was good and the accommodation was lovely. Ross & Trish had provided everything you could want, plus lots of extra treats, for which we were very grateful. We were the first holidaymakers after the property had been refurbished to a very high standard, and we would highly recommend a stay there. Newtown itself is very nice and central for trips to Aberystwyth and other more local places of interest.
-
"The property is extremely clean, comfortable, with more than I could wish for in a holiday cottage."
The owner was extremely helpful, nothing seemed to be to much trouble for him. This is somewhere we will return to again.

"Varley Villa is a lovely place to stay, Ross and Tricia provide everything you need to make you comfortable and the treats they leave you and your dog are much appreciated."
Newtown is a lovely little town with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. The park across the road from Varley Villa is a beautiful place with lots of different walks and the River Severn runs through it and our little dog loved it there.
-
"We had a really lovely week in the villa."
The villa was very comfortable and we spent a lot of time on the decking which was good for our dog. Two comfortable bedrooms and a super wet room with a really good shower. Lots of goodies were left for us which we made good use of. Ross and Trish the owners were extremely helpful and friendly and also close by. We will certainly be staying there again.
-

Amazing villa, great location, not too far to travel to some fantastic beaches, hosts extremely friendly and welcoming making sure everything is good and we have everything we needed
-
"We particularly liked the friendly welcoming gestures in the villa - the drinks and snacks hamper in the living room, eggs and milk in the fridge and bread and Welsh cakes in the kitchen."
That was just unexpected. The beds were spot on - not too firm or too soft. The shower was fantastic, with more effective temperature and volume controls than those in our house. We also appreciated the fact that the villa was carefully colour-coordinated and wasn't random patchwork. It was a bit tricky for us to locate the cottage on the first day but luckily help was just a phone call away. It was a challenge to lock the door, which required a skill we didn't master during our stay. However, the owners were quick to respond to our questions and requests and did all they could to make our stay comfortable. We felt their warmth and support.
-

"We had a great stay and really appreciated the welcome box and the other home comforts that made the stay really easy."
We were really sorry that we couldn’t work out the heating and really appreciated the immediate help we got for that and the hot water. The accommodation was spotless and really well equipped. We would certainly recommend it.

"Trish and Ross, the hosts were amazing."
I took my elderly parents and they advised us on places to take them. The lodge is perfect. Just as described. And the area is so beautiful. Ill definitely be going back.
-
"We booked two weeks holiday early this year and it was 4 weeks later when we received an email cancelling our holiday with no explanation."
I sent an email back and we managed to get the second week reinstated. However, I asked for you to recommend another property for our first week and you did not respond at all. We therefore paid more than half our original cost for a day less. The lady I dealt with was really lovely but I can't remember her name now. Your online chat staff couldn't book the second week for us so I had to rebook everything online. It would also help if a picture of the drive entrance could be published as we had trouble finding it and had to ring the owners. However, I would recommend the villa.
-
"We booked this location for our daughter to isolate after coming over from an amber country."
The owners were very accomodating and helpful and even brought toys over for the kids to play with. The place was amazing, very clean and in a central location. Would highly recommend.
-
"Absolutely loved staying here, we found it great as one of us is in a ..."
Absolutely loved staying here, we found it great as one of us is in a wheelchair, so low threshold doors and wide doors and a wetroom were greatly appreciated , we will definitely be going back and reccomend to any families as it has great accessibility and such a lovely town within walking distance
-
"Its the most beautiful villa, well presented and so so clean."
The owners go above and beyond leaving lovely little gifts for the children, and a lovely little hamper with all little bits. We left a few items behind at the villa the owners made contact and had them sent onto us. I would highly recommend staying here to family and friends, and we hope to go back in the future.
