  • "Lovely cottage cosy and comfy."

    Does need better WiFi and to be able to move tv aerial to pick up channels, especially for winter breaks where you need evening/night time entertainment. Maybe have some decaff tea and coffee aswell as normal. Our stay was short and lovely, we would stay again and recommend.

  • "Kitchen was tired and equipment was minimal."

    Had to ask for basic items such as bin bags and oven gloves. No kitchen roll provided. Mismatched cutlery and crockery. Matresses tired and uncomfortable. Access to courtyard shabby. No instructions for TV which can only be watched via internet with constant buffering. Tea coffee and biscuits left out on arrival, some milk would have been useful. We have booked via Sykes before and have always been pleased . This was not up to Sykes usual standard. Very disappointed overall.

  • "Beautiful cottage and amazing view, the host was nice too they have 4 dogs and my girls love them they are very friendly."

    It would be nice if they keep some complementary tea and coffee. But all together we had very lovely stay there. We will differently be back and recommend to others.

  • "The cottage was lovely, the information provided before hand and at the property was all very helpful."

    We really enjoyed that it was on a working farm, and the owner was really nice. It's so close to Cardiff yet feels very rural which is great. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
