  The owner even left us a few extras such as welsh cakes and fruit shoots which was greatly appreciated. She was very friendly and came to check in on us after some strong winds. The cottage was well maintained with beautiful countryside views.

• "Our stay at the Dairy was superb."

  The host Mrs Rees could not have been more helpful, advising us of where to visit and eat out in the evenings- we also had a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and Welsh Cakes on arrival! The Dairy was in a beautiful location on the Moor with stunning views on all sides . It was so peaceful and tranquil sitting out in the evenings in the sunshine. The beaches at Rhossili and Oxwich Bay were a short drive away. Absolutely stunning with miles of golden sand and very dog friendly. We could not fault our stay at the Dairy and hope to return at some point. A big thank you to the host for her kind and friendly approach and helping to make our stay a memorable one!

• "Owner was waiting when we arrived."

  Very pleasant. She informed us that there was a problem with Wi Fi and that next door had reported ants. Ant powder and ant traps had been spread outside the properties. Later we had ants too so nothing could be left in the kitchen area. Whoever checked the property for your company, it is definitely NOT suitable for 4 adults. In all the holiday cottages that we have stayed-in, why are there always so many odd glasses?. It is a good job that there were only 2 persons, as there were only 2 wine glasses, 2 small flutes, 1 tumbler, 1 small glass and several pint glasses? The cottage owners need to up their game given the prices they charge. On a positive note the owner did pop and check that we were OK? as the temperatures dropped and asked if wer need to heating turned on? Michael

• "Gwyn was a wonderful host, and we really enjoyed our stay."

  She was so friendly and attentive, and provided a great welcome package of tea, coffee and Welsh cakes. The cottage was warm and cosy, and had everything you needed. It’s tucked away on a quiet farm, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. (We have a dog and the cottage is very dog friendly, which really allowed us to relax!) It’s a great location with all the top tourist spots within a short drive or even walk away. We loved our stay and will be booking again next year!

• "We had a really enjoyable holiday in the Dairy."

  Gwyn was a perfect host and gave us a very warm welcome. She had provided welsh cakes and milk as well as tea and coffee. The cottage was cosy, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Gwyn popped in to see us and check if we needed anything several times. The location of the Dairy was just right for exploring the local beaches and we enjoyed a different walk every day. We would recommend staying there to our family and friends. Many thanks to Gwyn for making our stay so enjoyable.

• "We had a very comfortable relaxing stay at the dairy."

  Gwyn the owner regularly checked we were happy. She is very thoughtful. Everything was as listed when booking. The dairy has a well equipped kitchen for a holiday cottage. It is warm, quiet and comfortable perfect for relaxing and recharging the batteries. I note another review commented on noise, we did not experience this, yes the floorboards creak a bit but this is an old barn and that's part of the charm. I was holidaying with my elderly parent, she found the dairy accessible throughout. A comment in another review mentions towels. We found them soft, good quality and what they are listed as... a bath towel. The dairy was a great well priced base for exploring the beautiful Gower. We recommend the dairy. Thanks fir a great stay Gwyn. Best wishes Helen and the Gower doodle dogs Sigi and Poppy. (named Gower doodles as they were born on Gower)

  Gwyneth could not have been more helpful. Everything we needed was provided in the accomodation. The cottage was just as pictured very comfy and toasty warm. Location is ideal & we were fortunate with the weather for the first few days and managed to travel all around the beautiful Gower. Not the first time we have visited this part of Wales and certainly not the last. Highly recommended.

• "Gwyn and Sykes couldn't have been more helpful."

  My initial booking had to be cancelled due to the storm in February and they made it really easy for me to rebook in the summer. Gwyn was really helpful and welcoming during our stay. She has the wonderful knack as a host of giving as much information and support as you need, but equally giving you your space and privacy. She gave us good tips about where to go and what to do in Gower. The cottage is great. Well-equipped, tranquil and comfortable. Comfy beds, sofas, decent shower and washing machine. Well equipped kitchen with all the bits and bobs you need for self catering. All appliances and shower worked well, no niggly annoying things. A great base to explore the Gower as well, as it's quite central. A lovely view as well from the cottage patio.

  The cottage was as described, very clean, warm and cosy, and easy to find. The surrounding area is stunning, with beautiful Autumn colours and panoramic views of an amazingly varied landscape. The local people are so friendly and helpful too. However the ingredient that makes this cottage extra special is Gwyn, the owner, a lovely lady who really goes out of her way to ensure her guests have a great time, and even made a lovely buttonhole for my mum’s wedding outfit.

  Gwynn the owner and her family were very friendly, regularly checking everything was OK, the Welsh cakes on arrival being a nice touch. This is a working farm but if you are a dog owner there are fields not in use that your dog can safely run around in, very useful with a lively 6 month old Spaniel. Thanks for a great stay!

  We had a fantastic time. The Dairy was spacious, well equipped and comfortable, exceeding our expectations. The owners, in particular Gwenyth, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The cottage was located in a beautiful part of the Gower, with great views across the hills and within easy driving access to all of the beauty spots such as Rhossili, Three Cliffs and Arthur's Stone to name but a few. If you are looking to visit the Gower we would definitely recommend this cottage.

• "I originally "booked" the cottage through Home Away."

  This was very confusing and I would not recommend this course of action. I subsequently received an email to say that my booking did not happen as I had failed to book the cottage with Sykes and it was now back on the market. This caused complete panic so I rang Sykes. Sykes confirmed that the cottage was now back on the market! Why did no one contact me earlier? I was then asked for payment and bombarded with questions about holiday insurance and damage protection. Perhaps I was caught at an inappropriate time but this left me feeling that I would never use Home Away again and probably not Sykes. Now that I have had time to reflect on the experience, I can see that it was probably not the fault of Sykes Cottages but still feel unhappy about the attempt to sell extras.
