"A lovely quite location."
Fantastic for star gazing at night and eating your breakfast outside in the early morning sun. Close to some of Wales most beautiful coastline. Clean and comfy inside with friendly service and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. We would definitely stay again. Diolch yn fawr iawn! :-)

"We very much enjoyed our stay here."
It's in a quiet location but with good links to the main towns in the area. The communication with the owner was good and lots of info was available at the property for how to use equipment and things to do and see. The property had everything you need. It's clean and well maintained. There is ample parking. There is only 1 minor negative and that is the double bed is so soft, it was quite uncomfortable - this is personal preference though.
I highly recommend this property and would revisit in a heartbeat.

"We had a lovely comfortable stay, location was peaceful and quiet."
Access to local towns were nearby and all worth a visit.
Aberporth Beach was beautiful with cafes and shops and a pub which is worth visiting for dinner, best to book.
Thanks for a great stay.

"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.

"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.

"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.
