What our customers say about their holidays

  It was a lovely, cosy welcoming cottage in a brilliant location central to lots of wonderful sights of interest.

  We have been to Northumberland 5 times and this was the best cottage. The decor was homely and it was very well furnished with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and a joy to cook in. We were very comfortable there. A couple of very small issues for the owners attention include: •There was no cutlery holder in the dishwasher •The leaflets could be more up to date (one was from 2016) • There were no teaspoons! We had to buy some. We left them in the cottage for others. • for the cost of the cottage the welcome pack could have been a little more extensive and exciting! We note that others had a welcome hamper years ago! We really liked Lesbury village. We supported the community shop which we thought was a great initiative. Unfortunately The Coach House was shut for renovation, otherwise we would have supported them as well. We highly recommend The Hope and Anchor in Alnmouth - fantastic Italian food and friendly staff. We would definitely return to Willlow Cottage and recommend to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

  This is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location.

  During the heat wave days (July 2022) it was especially good as it can be kept cool and shaded inside. We stayed with our dog, and had chosen this property because it was listed as taking pets. On arrival the owner explained they do not normally take dogs [in this let] but was happy for us to do so (she said Sykes had made a mix up). A few things which would have made this 5 stars for us rather than 4 on this review are that there was no microwave, even though this is in the description of facilities, and no kitchen knives - so self-catering was trickier than it needed to be. There was also a large bag of clothing items (? left behind by a former guest?) in the under stair cupboard. Overall this property fulfilled our needs and we enjoyed our stay at The End.

  We has a lovely stay, the cottage is beautifully finished to a high standard.

  The location is really good being between Aberystwyth and Cardigan. We managed several circular walks incorporating the coastal path and inland through some particularly muddy fields!! All the local people were very friendly and helpful. Because we visited out of season we were able to park free of charge in a lot of places. The only thing that would stop us booking Pensarngerrig again is the lack of a washing machine. A couple of other bits of feedback. It would be nice to have a couple more tea towels and maybe a good idea to have some dog bowls in case people forget theirs, I did remember but we have seen this in other holiday lets. Maybe a bin in the bedroom too. These are minor things and certainly didn’t affect our holiday.

  Despite the various listings on different websites, there is no microwave.

  Parking is ample although it is over 100m from the cottage across very muddy uneven ground. It would not be very suitable for anyone with mobility issues. On arrival after a very long journey, there were no toilet rolls, hand soap or towels in the property. Our first job was to get back in the car and go shopping for toilet rolls and soap. Towels and bedding arrived later. We have never stayed in accommodation before that does not provide these essential basics. Possibly an oversight?? The freezer needed defrosting; impossible to open the drawers without damaging them. The controls for the bath/shower need attention from a plumber as it was very difficult to adjust the temperature. Other than that it was okay.

  We stayed at Pensarngerrig with our two children during the first week of the summer holiday.

  We throughly enjoyed our stay. It is more than your average luxury holiday cottage. The owners have lovingly restored the it while maintaining its historical character. It is beautifully decorated throughout with a mixture of modern and Welsh traditional style. The modern kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and more! The generous basket full of Welsh goodies and the milk and butter in the fridge was very much appreciated and enjoyed! Thank you very much! The information pack produced by the owners was very useful and provided us with lots of inspiration on what to do within the area. I have recommended this cottage to my friends and family as we loved it so much!
