• "The toilet was loose We both felt that there was an excessive amount of air fresheners throughout the property, and plastic flowers."

  The oddly placed wash basin in the main bedroom took up a lot of room which could have been better us. We were woken up in the very early hours of Saturday morning by people arriving at a nearby property who were very noisy. Otherwise the very very peaceful stay.

  Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you had a lovely visit. We love our decor and have only had compliments, but we all have different tastes. Thanks for letting us about the toilet we will get someone out to fix this. As for the neighbours arriving early, unfortunately this is out of our control, it's usually extremely quite.

• "Great accommodation, thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

  Beautiful property and tranquil location. Quick and easy access to St Davids and Solva and Whitesands beach. A lovely, cosy place to come back to after a day out. Enjoyed the generous hamper on arrival.

• "Hi we didn’t have hot water or heating for half the week and then bizarrely a comment from the owner about missing t towels and oven gloves!"

  Also compensation as promised hasn’t been forthcoming

  Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately you didn't let us know about the heating for 2 days, of course we got someone out to you as soon as possible to fix the problem. Our cleaner went in after your group had left and was shocked how badly the cottage had been left, along with a broken dial on the boiler. Unfortunately this is a rare situation now resulting in us having to get a new boiler due to the damage. Despite this we have refunded you for any inconvenience coursed. Property Owner

• "Beautifully furnished and decorated cottage."

  Very quiet and peaceful. Maybe a bit remote for us as elderly visitors.

• "Very nice cottage well equipped and very comfortable had everything we needed ..."

  Very nice cottage well equipped and very comfortable had everything we needed and the welcome pack was a really nice gesture and very grateful, the owners have created a lovely calm area in the countryside but close enough to the sea would highly recommend

  Thank you so much for your lovely review, we hope you visit us again soon! Property Owner

• "A good location with access to coast and inland."

  Local walks excellent. Well furnished and equipped and even the kitchen knives are sharp! Bathroom works okay though would benefit from upgrading. Appreciated cloths and cleaning aids. Would have liked access to Netflix.

  Thank you for your great review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and the local area! We will get a Netflix login sorted for future guests, thank you for the idea! Property Owner

• "Pros: The property is well-maintained, beautiful, and has amenities in abundance."

  Parking is not a problem, either. The kitchen is very well-equipped and clean. The host very kindly provided shampoo, conditioner and snacks. Local cafes, chippies, beaches and hikes are quite accessible from the property (obviously, you need a car.) Cons: The property was very cold. The first one or two days, we could control the temperature, however the thermostat then locked itself and could not be adjusted. We contacted the owner (via Sykes) and found out the property owner could control the temperature remotely, which could not be set beyond 25°C because the boiler was faulty. We requested the temperature be set as high as possible, to which it was placed at 22°C, which was still too cold. We would have benefited from the temperature being set at the maximum 25°C. We thought of using the available fireplace to add extra warmth. However, the wood didn't light up despite our numerous attempts. We visited the local supermarket to purchase wool wood to help the fire ignite, yet every attempt to light the fire was short-lived. By the time we finished attempting various DIY solutions (plus doing our sightseeing), our stay came to an end, so we didn't get the chance to contact the property owner a second time regarding the central heating/fireplace. Another issue is that the hot and cold water regulation on the shower is very temperamental so be prepared to fiddle with the taps for a good amount of time. There was no shower gel/body wash, so make sure to get your own. At the time of leaving, we were asked to strip used bedsheets and place them in the bathtub - not sure if this is the customary request in holiday stays? Lastly, the space is a bit small, so avoid getting large amounts of luggage. This isn't really a disadvantage, but worth noting that big luggage isn't suitable for the property. Overall verdict: Overall, I would recommend the property to others because the property is value for money. Although the 'negative' paragraph is longer, it really was just the temperature. My wife is thalassemic and from the Middle East, which means she feels colder than the average person. Maybe on hot summer days, temperature wouldn't have been an issue. But on cooler days (15°C or less), the home would feel draughty to anyone (health condition or not, as even I felt cold.) The property was clean overall, but there was dust and cobwebs in some corners. Once the issue with the temperature is fixed, I'd say the property is value for money.

  Thank you very much for your review, we are so happy you found The Stables clean & well-maintained; it really is a beautiful property. We’re sorry that you found the property cold, June has been colder than usual. Apologies for the inconvenience with the boiler, sadly having the heating as high as 29c, isn't good for the bolier and risks locking out at such a high temperature. Setting it at 25c as a maximum is usually not a problem as the stone building maintains the heat really well. If you’re not used to lighting log burners, they can be a little tricky. We are delighted you would recommend The Stables & you were generally happy with the property & thought it good value! We do hope you can visit again soon! Property Owner
