• "Lovely cottage."

  Location not the best as its a fairly busy road with no pavement to walk into Aberporth and fairly steep coming back . We could have done with more info on working the Tv and what packages extra channels were available as we were unsure . Floor and some surfaces could do with more cleaning but as it was the end of the season that probably accounts for it . Towels , bedding all lovely quality and well decorated and finishing touches were lovely .Lovely welshcakes and fresh milk were appreciated .

• "This small house is pleasant, reasonably well furnished and best of all, in a quiet country location; a bit of a ghost village actually, and a mile inland from the sea in Aberporth."

  It lies in the grounds of an expensive hotel where drinks at the bar might require a mortgage ! Unfortunately, when we arrived, a wheelie bin at the front door was overflowing with 6 or 7 weeks of rubbish stinking like a garbage dump. We complained and it was emptied 5 days later. Arriving after a 3 hour 30 minute drive to the property, we needed the loo. There was no toilet paper or kitchen roll provided. We complained and were directed to a shop which was a drive of 7 miles return. We had to buy our own loo paper and even our own salt and pepper. There were none of the normal ‘hospitality’ items - a few tea bags, coffee sachets, milk or anything else. Better introductory hospitality would only cost a pound or two. On day 1 the bathroom door jammed & could not be opened. The door lever/latch was not working. We spent 5 minutes crashing into the door to open it. Finally it gave way without damage. Since we could also have been locked into the bathroom, we stuffed a toothpick into the latch to keep it open until it is repaired. The availability of an adequate wifi signal was sporadic and slow. We could not use the catch-up TV and during the whole week I could only open my emails on my mobile phone. When it is working the internet speed is 29 Mbps. The property was devoid of instructions on e.g. the television or heating system, or when the rubbish is collected. There were no recommendations on local walks, shops or restaurants etc. (Tesco/Aldi in Cardigan). We like to keep a holiday let very clean, but there were no cleaning materials supplied. The good news is that following previous poor reviews the double bed mattress (firm) and the microwave have been replaced. Unfortunately when I removed the instructions from inside this new microwave in order to use it, they slipped down between the side of the fridge and the worktop. This does not prevent the microwave being used. Since the freezer compartment needs defrosting, when the fridge is turned off to do this, they can be retrieved. (Incidentally, when I logged in to the Sykes website, this property was not registered on my account, although 7 or 8 previous ones are still there).

• "Lovely clean cottage."

  We had problems with the water system for the whole week. We would get hot water in the morning but nothing in the afternoon. Owners got a plumber out on Thursday 2 day before coming home they said nothing was wrong he changed the timer then we only got water in the afternoon hence we had several days of cold showers. Really not practical with a nine year old. Whole also love a folder with the history of the cottage and surrounding area.

• "Needs double bed mattress replacing one side of mattress is very flat and has no support."

  Very uncomfortable. Microwave was very rusty so unable to use. Oven had not been cleaned and was also rusty in places. Did not use due to hygiene. Under the sink in the kitchen were dirty tea towels that where going mouldy. Also had to do some weeding and sweep patio area before use. The bench was rotting so therefore could not be used. During our stay someone did come and take the bench away.

• "Booked three nights for two people at short notice."

  The property is nicely decorated, well equipped and well situated for exploring the coastline. We liked it. The double bed urgently needs a new mattress, so we slept in the two singles instead. The picnic bench on the patio has seen better days. It would be nice to change this to enable outdoor dining. Some updated instructions regarding rubbish disposal would also be helpful.
