"Since I moved to Wales over 20 years ago, I have stayed in many self catering establishments both for work and play !"

These cottages are part of a small group of barn conversions with a family home and courtyard. As I extended my stay I ended up staying in 2 of these cottages, all clean everything you could want good WIFi etc, Washing facilities and games room great too. They are named after 3 local Castles, the " garden " for visitors comprises of a large area of older woodland dominated by ancient oak trees large and small, ideal for families and their pets. Gavin and Josie are great hosts and part of that lies with their love of their own 2 Spaniels and they are happy for you to interact with them, which any dog owner would do. The setting, the high standard of accomodation and relaxed surroundings made it one of the best places I have stayed in.

Beautiful peaceful setting in an area close to many places of interest. This was our second stay at Dinefwr Cottage, we enjoyed our earlier stay so much, we wanted to come back for a longer break and explore the area further. Husband and Daughter loved the Games Room! we all had another restorative and enjoyable stay, Thank you.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

The cottage provided all we needed was very clean and Josie and Gavin were extremely helpful with recommendations for places to visit. Set down a quiet little lane with the cows in the nearby field it was a very peaceful and relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend this accommodation. Caryl

"A wonderfully clean, comfortable, well appointed cottage."

Everything was there to make our holiday go smoothly from the cottage itself to the really useful well equipped utility room to the fabulous games room. The touches of the fresh flowers to tea, coffee, milk, welshcakes etc were very welcome after a long drive. The owners have thoughtfully put a comprehensive folder together with everything to know and more about your stay and history of the cottages. There is also a good selection of tourist information in the games room. The games room itself is well stocked with books, board games, toys etc. We particularly loved playing table tennis. We have a full size table at home but at present have not the room to use it, so this was great. The nearby castles and gardens are a must to visit as well as Dinefwr House and the National Trust's Gold Mine. All in all a wonderful weeks holiday and will certainly recommend to family and friends. We loved Ollie the cat a 'purrfect' character!

"Beautiful, quiet cottage, maintained to a high standard with everything we needed."

The little touches are what made us love it. The little jar of dog biscuits, the Welsh cakes, the pint of milk, couple of beers, tea/coffee, the dining table with flowers, so very welcoming. The info on what to see, the 'how to' book for the cottage, everything was thought of. Comfortable rooms, linen lovely and soft. The separate games room & utility room is a bonus. Such a great base, rural but not too far from the sights. Dog friendly too, with the use of the enclosed paddock is a big plus for us. Thank you Josie & Gavin, the area and property is idyllic, we will definitely return and recommend.

Great welcome, helpful and friendly owners, great on-site facilities (our daughter particularly enjoyed the well-stocked shared games room). We enjoyed our week so much that we booked up another stay in the autumn as soon as we returned home! The area has many interesting places to visit, one week just wasn't enough to see them all!

"We had such a wonderful time at Dinefwr Cottage."

The cottage itself is really well presented, clean, light and airy. It is situated in a beautiful part of Welsh countryside, close enough to all main routes for travelling around south Wales. The games room was a great addition to our stay as was the paddock for walking our dog. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Thank you for an amazing stay Josie and Gavin (thank you also for the dog treats and Welsh cakes!)

"We much enjoyed our stay at Dinefwr Cottage & have ALREADY recommended it to some friends."

It was clean & comfortable & the owners were welcoming & helpful-including when it came to working the TV! (Maybe a written list of step-by-step instructions would be useful!) If we wanted a holiday in the same area again we would be very happy to return to that cottage. Several places of interest to see within a few miles, including the National Botanic Garden of Wales & Aberglasney Gardens. We also appreciated being so near to the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review for our cottage and we are really pleased you both had such a lovey stay. It was wonderful meeting you and as you know, we are only too happy to help with any 'mod cons' in the cottage that are unfamiliar to guests but I've taken your advice onboard and made some changes. It's been a busy summer but we've enjoyed watching Llety Mieri change over the seasons in the garden and orchard, I'm just away now to make some more plum jam, turns out it's rather nice on a Welsh cake. Kind regards, Josie & Gavin. Property Owner

"Nice property but more compact than it looked on listing."

Paintwork looking a bit tired. Bed and sofa comfortable. Cosy cottage. Nice welcome pack. Situation good for visiting various places. Good paddock for exercising the dog. Ok for short break but a bit small for us for longer. No storage space for food except fridge and we like to cater for ourselves due to intolerances. Hob very small but there is a microwave. We had to make a rush booking as let down by another organisation so we’re very grateful to get this property. Bonus was that it was at a reduced price!

Hi Isabella, We are so pleased you enjoyed the welcome pack, we always like to know any guests can enjoy a cuppa or cold drink after their journey and we are pleased you found the furniture comfortable. We trust the photos we are using on Sykes reflect the cottage, however we take your comments on board. Sorry not to meet you personally and we endeavour to price ourselves competitively so maybe we'll get to meet you another time, thanks, Josie & Gavin. Property Owner
