• "We had a great week at Oak tree cottage."

  A good base. Everything you need for a self catering holiday. Only downside for us, we generally like to park the car up and walk to as much as we can , but not possible from the cottage, as no footpath on a large section of the road into Aberporth, and a very steep walk back.

• "First time booking through Sykes Cottages and wouldn’t use again based on Oak Tree Cottage."

  Prefer accommodation where owner lives on site and not remotely as Oak Tree Cottage owner does. Our experience is on site owners look after their properties to a much higher standard. Owner fully aware of issues we had.

• "The cleanliness was not good had to bleach the sink on arrival it was stained brown (probably from tea) it smelt musty, the TV stand was thick with dust so was the cooker hood, stains on the kitchen doors and the toilet itself was clean but the shelf around the back of the toilet wasn't."

  There was dust generally and cobwebs. These issues were reported to the owner who apologised profusely and was contacting the cleaning company to raise the issues. The cottage itself was in a great location for Aberporth and very quiet it had everything you could possibly need and the beds were very comfortable, we all slept very well.

• "I arrived on a Saturday evening and the first thing I noticed upon arrival was a musty damp smell."

  Checked the feedback book and it appeared the property had been empty the week before so switched the heating on and hoped for the best. The best did not come. There was black mould on the walls of the lounge and dining area. The smell of damp lingered. Then I found cutlery with food on in the drawer. The property hadn't been cleaned or vacuumed properly and the dining room table sticky. In the bedroom on Sunday morning I discovered the pattern of the brickwork visible in damp and more black mould behind the headboard and on the inside of the front wall of the property. I left early and reported the issues to Sykes. Sykes have been very non committal in their remarks about the photographs I provided showing the damp and mould. The owner has offered a 10% discount which has been refused and I have suggested that he uses the money to help put this property back into a fit condition.

  I am obviously very disappointed, concerned and surprised to receive this feedback. The guest directly messaged me twice during his stay and did not raise any issues at all on either occasion. There were in fact guests in the property the week before who thoroughly enjoyed their stay which was their third of the season. The cottage has been fully booked from Easter onwards and has received very positive reviews. In response to the issues raised, the cleaning company state that the cottage was cleaned appropriately prior to the guest’s arrival. The guest found a single knife with a speck of food on it in the draw. I am addressing the points made about damp with my builder and will certainly ensure that any potential recommendations are actioned as soon as possible. Property Owner

• "We found the cottage beautiful , all cooking facilities were catered for it was easy to cook some meals there for a cosy night in ,one little niggle ."

  .you could do with a pair of kitchen scissors !! We did found the bed a little soft but we like a firm mattress so maybe it was just us ! and also I found it strange not to supply a hair dryer ! Other than that we would certainly return if we return to that part of Wales ,the surrounding areas' are beautiful.

• "Very good location near the beach and local amenities."

  We found the cottage fully kitted out with all that we needed. The cottage was very clean , tidy and well presented. It helped to have book of instructions /manual and a guide of places to visit. It was nice have a patio area at the back to have our breakfast and meals. Nice and quiet at nights!

• "Such a pretty location , well equipped property with seating at the front and back so there was a choice to sit in the sun or the shade."

  Thank you for the milk and the lovely Welsh cakes that went down a treat. There was a wide selection of DVD's if weather was bad however , weather was so good we were able to explore the beautiful beaches and surrounding villages. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us and your scenic part of Wales we had never experienced before.

• "We loved the property, it was very well equipped and comfortable."

  If we had any criticism it would be that an extension lead or additional socket would be handy in both the main living area and the main bedroom but these can be worked around. We also noted that the Velux windows could do with a good clean. Neither of these things affected our stay. Personally, I found the switch for the upstairs water tank a little confusing and although we expected it to be off, which it was, the positioning wasn't very clear. This was resolved for me via a YouTube video. Being only our 2nd holiday in Wales, we found Oak Tree Cottage to be a great base for the area and were able to visit a number of attractions during the week, including a dolphin watching trip, the honey farm at New Quay, the Gwili railway and the Welsh Wildlife Centre to name a few. We were also able to make use of the garden area most evenings as the sun went down. Having used both New Golden Dragon and Caffi Sgadan we would certainly recommend the latter which does great fish and chips amongst other things. Personally, I found the food from New Golden Dragon to be perfectly fine but my wife less so. Although we did not make great use of it, we did visit the general store and found that to be well stocked. We would certainly stay here again.

  Took all the little things to get me started but found mostly provided even tea bags! Everything we needed was there to use my girl liked the "would you rather" game. A lovely quiet time away from life for few days
