"We very much enjoyed our stay, lovely cottage, in a lovely part of the world."
Everyone very friendly. Would be nice to have had a visitors book, we are sure there would have been plenty of good comments. Thank you.

"A lovely little house, in a very friendly village."
We were made to feel very welcome by everyone we met.The house was very clean and attractively done out inside. The location is a great for visiting all the local ‘gems’ Carmarthenshire has to offer. The only negative was that we didn’t sleep very well. The beds at the property were very small for a double and a single and the mattress & pillows neither supportive or comfortable. This was a real shame, as the rest of our stay was fab.

"The property is well situated near the village of Llandybie providing everything you need for a self catering break."
The house is warm modern and well furnished. We had a fantastic stay and will stay again. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The owner left lovely welcome food and was very supportive and helpful. Brilliant stay.

"The double bed was very small, we could not both fit."
So, I attempted to sleep on the sofa. We can home on the Wednesday morning instead of Friday,I could catch up with sleep. It was nice to have two pint of milk in the fridge, (I don’t take milk), the handle is loose on the cooker, the conservatory blinds were broken and so was the curtain holder on the right. The shops are nice and close, but I do not remember being in formed it was next to the train station the noises. Overall we would not book again.

"We had a lovely week stay in this property with our two dogs."
Great location to use as a base for travelling around the south west coast. The property had an excellent enclosed garden and it was nice to enjoy the warmth of the conservatory whilst allowing the dogs to roam freely. Our favourite feature had to have been the waterfall shower in the bathroom, it was perfect to come home to after a wet day exploring Wales. Shortly after we arrived we noticed a significant smell in the lounge which we assumed was from the previous visitors dog(s) - we could tell the owners had tried to get rid of it with air fresheners, however it was still prominent. We did get used to it each day after spending about 10mins in the lounge and becoming “nose blind”. The listing is now no longer accepting bookings with dogs, and we can understand why if this smell was caused by a visitor with dogs. Aside from this, we had a lovely stay! A couple of things to note: the WiFi is very weak and pretty unusable, Netflix on the TV didn’t connect or work for our entire stay, the curtains in the bedrooms do not block out any light (so bring an eye mask!), and the house is approximately 15metres from a level crossing & train station - so be prepared for 5:40am train horns and bells most mornings. Having said that, we had the most perfect week and none of these things dampened our experience!

"We had a fantastic holiday we will be using the property again near shops fantastic area"
-
"Good location, short walk to the village centre, Co-op and other shops etc nearby."
We knew the cottage was near the train station but didn't realise it was close to a barrier crossing, the warning bleeps when the barriers operated occasionally disturbed our sleep, but we got used to it. Upon entering the cottage we immediately detected a strong 'doggy' smell, we have stayed in many dog friendly cottages before but this is the first time we have experienced this, we bought an air freshener and left it there for the next customer. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of this cottage, particularly downstairs. The leather sofa had a sort of powdery feel to it (maybe the after-effect of a cleaning agent), there was clear visible evidence that vacuuming wasn't done properly - dog hairs were found on the living room rug (especially round the edges), and under the front of the leather sofa. An empty used dog food dish was found under the TV cabinet. Dirty window ledges in the conservatory. There was no Visitor Book or customer info pack found. We noticed a Wi-Fi password code cellotaped to the TV cabinet but no router SSID name so we had to guess which one it was. There was a small leak to the cloak-room radiator which we we left a note about. There was water collected in the bottom of the fridge which we wiped up every day. The front door lock was loose. The cupboard on the upstairs landing had numerous mens clothing items hung up which we found a little odd. We felt overall that there were general cleanliness and some maintenance issues with this property. To finish on a positive, there is plenty of parking close by, and the overall room sizes were good, and great cupboard space in the main bedroom.

"There was no Visitors book which was a shame as people often leave comments on places to visit which are helpful and we therefore could not leave our own comments."
-
"Very enjoyable stay in a lovely well equipped house."
Great location for daily neccessities(small supermarket,bakers,chemist,take away,pub) are 2 minutes away.Quiet friendly neighbourhood and outstanding scenary only a short drive from the house.Would definetely stay when in the area again.
-
"We had a lovely stay at this property, was the perfect base for a variety of walks along the coast and in the Bannau Brycheiniog."
The house itself was warm and well equipped for a home away from home for a week. We’d love to stay again
-
"A perfect small place for us."
Ideal for striking out to the coast or inland walks.Very nicely maintained by the owners.
-
"This house was like a warm hug around us after a difficult few months."
The location was brilliant with coop, charity shop, pharmacist , butchers and haitdressers with in 4 mins walk. Also a pack for our grandchildren which they enjoyed. There were a few things that needed maintenance but the owners sorted our immediately. Could do with egg cups and a bigger bed as we are both tall. The train station isn't uses a lot but even when in use it is quiet and doesn't disturb in any way. The house is very peaceful and restful to be in. We would stay again. Sally

"Nice homely accommodation to stay in."
Would be nice if there was something to hang clothes in second bedroom. Also an information file regarding where to leave laundry, passcode for internet and what are the rules for recycling ect

"Quiet and relaxing stay"
-
"Whilst at the property I contacted Sykes to comment on the front door lock being loose, the front door being all scuffed and marked, how the grill was covered in grease, how there was mold in the shower and conservatory and generally how the property was in need of basic maintenance."
Sykes replied dismissively saying the owner had been made aware which irked me as the issues couldn’t be missed and the owner would have been fully aware of these obvious issues prior to our arrival. Photos taken if required.
-
"We found the property to be generally clean, comfortable and well-equipped, but the grill pan was dirty on arrival and the chopping board was covered in crumbs, the conservatory blinds needed a good clean and we weren't impressed by the double bed mattress which we found very hot and skimpy sized, resulting in one of us sleeping in the single room."
A clothes airer and/or washing line would be useful and a draining board rack.
-
"Property was clean and cosy, in a good location for exploring west Wales."
-
"The property was okay and we liked the quality of the furniture (comfortable sofas and bed) although the bed was squeaky."
Fantastic private garden for dogs. The property has a private parking space (although under an archway at the rear of the house not easily accessible to the property and would suit smaller vehicles) Which we couldn't use due the size of our vehicle. Also the train station is extremely close (we stayed over the weekend and didn't hear many trains until Monday morning when we noticed the noise). The property is listed as a semi-detached and is actually an end terrace. The area is currently being extended and building works are on going which was irritating and not ideal. On the whole the property it's self has most of the things you will need for an adequate stay (we did have to soak and rewash pots and pans which we shouldn't have had to do, although that's probably down to the previous occupants). The overall cleanliness is good and the the property is acceptable (however just be careful when using the shower

"Lovely stay and excellent support provided throughout."
Would strongly recommend
-
"Such a delightful property."
It’s situated conveniently next to small railway station. The house was beautifully decorated and the smart television was a huge bonus. I had some cosy nights on the reclining sofa watching Netflix. The kitchen is small but had everything you need and as the house sleeps 3 it was perfectly adequate. The village boasts some lovely pubs and the Red Lion is welcoming with a variety of food. Dogs are made welcome as the owner adores them. There’s pizza takeaway and two fish and chip shops to choose from. The local butchers has quality food and the local bakery and coop offers all the provisions you could want. Tesco is also a few miles up the road. I can’t fault the area, the house and the owners as I was made to feel very welcome.

"Lovely cosy home in a beautiful part of Wales."
We really liked the modern decor, the electric reclining sofa was a real luxury. A couple of minor niggles would be the bed wasn’t as comfortable and a bit creaky and the lack of a vacuum made it difficult to keep clean. Having said that it was great value for money and would love to go back.
-
"A lovely place to stay."
A big thankyou to the owners for allowing us the use of their lovely holiday home I have only one suggestion a hoover would be useful.
-
"Lovely accommodation, stylish decor with a modern Welsh feel."
The house was very comfortable with good facilities and was well located for visiting attractions in the area. The designated off-road parking space was very convenient but there are also a variety of shops in the village just a couple of minutes away on foot. The Red Lion pub in the village was excellent for both drinking and eating - booking in advance highly recommended.
-
"Fantastic house but the internet is not have great signal."
