  The only good thing about this cottage was the cat that visited us daily, he was absolutely gorgeous, aside from his company, the stay was awful.

  We had expected more from all the great reviews recently written. The first night, we got into the hottub and immediately my legs started to itch terribly, we didn't stay long in the hottub due to this discomfort and when we got out, our legs were red raw, we immediately attempted to wash what we assumed was too much chlorine off, in the shower but still our legs remained itchy and sore. The shower is a wet room and the flooring is not designed for this purpose, it is so slippery and I ended up slipping and falling on the floor that same evening, fortunately I did not hurt myself too badly. We then decided to have some food, only to find that there was nothing in sight to take anything out of the oven, no oven glove or tea towel so we gave up and went to bed, which was the most uncomfortable experience, the bedding looked as if it should have been thrown away years back. It was awful quality and rough. The next morning, we decided to speak to the owner about the hot tub and then go out for the day and try to make the most of the weekend. We would pick up some tea towels and attempt the hotub again that evening. I will say that the owner was very nice about the hottub situation and did say it would be sorted by the time we got back. Although, she did mention that it had been checked before we arrived. That evening, the owner came to see us and advised us that the hottub had been emptied and refilled and that the issue was that there had been too much chlorine in there (even though it had been checked)? We gave the hot tub another try but didn't last long in there before we had to get out again. I'm not sure if the damage had already been done and our skin could take no more or if the issue had not been resolved. We did not return to the hottub after that, which is a shame as we'd only chosen this cottage due to the covered hot tub. The other issue with our stay was the lack of attention to detail where cleanliness was concerned. The house was generally clean, such as the beds and worktops but the draining board looked as if it had not been cleaned in months and I'd had to scrub it clean to be able to put any clean utensils on it. The bathroom mirror had long hairs all over it and the bathroom walls were mouldy. We had initially thought we would go home on the Friday but decided to make the most of being away by going into Saundersfoot and Tenby but we were really disappointed in this cottage and this put a dampener on the whole weekend. To top it all off, due to the chemical burns from the hot tub, when we got home, our skin was bad for over a week and we had to get treatment from the pharmacy. We will not be visiting this place again. I wasn't going to leave a review but thought people needed to be warned about the hot tub and very dangerous bathroom floor. I'm fortunate that I am quite young and didn't hurt myself when I fell but I would be concerned if this happened to an older person.

  Wow!! From the amazing views we were met with on our approach in the car, to the quaint but modern apartment that made an unforgettable family holiday

  . Glan Y mor is truly a hidden gem. The apartment was spacious with a relatively new kitchen and shower room and had everything needed to make us feel at home. My favourite area was the snug window seat where I spent much time reading and relaxing whilst looking out at the sea. I also enjoyed many a morning brew on the patio area taking in the same view and watching the world go by. Fortunately/Unfortunately our week coincided with the heatwave so my sunbathing was cut short. However if there was a parasol provided I would have been out there all day! ( My only niggle) Beds and sofa were extremely comfortable, my 8 year old slept better than at home in his own bed-Which resulted in happy parents. The towels provided were of good quality ( John Lewis) and they were plenty big enough to wrap around myself after a shower. ( I’m a size 10/12) It was a bonus to have a TV in each room! Yes we were lucky enough to receive Netflix, albeit we did bring an Amazon stick with us as we don’t take these things for granted. I’m not going to comment on cleanliness as I am the owner of a cleaning business so I’m a very harsh critic and will ALWAYS find something… However, I don’t have any qualms with returning so I’ll let you make your own conclusions. The Amroth Arms served great food and were very accommodating and all of the staff in the shops were so friendly. We booked a boat trip to Caldy Island ( A must) which departs from the beach at Tenby- whilst waiting for the boat we treated ourselves to a lobster roll and crab sandwich from the little seafood cabin. We also visited Folly Farm in Narbeth and easily spent the day there, they do amazing burgers!! Overall we had a genuine, positive experience and without a shadow of a doubt will definitely return to Amroth next year. I can guarantee that if you book and stay then you’ll find yourself returning too.

  The cottage is great - completed to a very high standard and very clean. We visited the local pub at the end of the road which was lovely and the staff extremely friendly. The milk shed opposite was nice offering fresh milk, eggs, honey etc. The park opposite was great for our dog, she loved going over there for a run! We also had a lovely walk up to Paxtons Tower, lovely views over the area. However, we were very concerned that the back boundary fence was quite low and contained 2 rows of barbed wire! considering this is supposed to be a dog and child friendly property we felt this was a huge safety issue. If not remedied there will be a nasty accident for either a dog or a child. There are sheep in the field at the back of the property and this makes that boundary very interesting to a dog! There was also a significant gap at the end of the fence separating it from next door (Cliftonville House) - we blocked this off with a wheelie bin and next door wasn't occupied so not a huge problem but it will pose a problem when the 2 properties are rented out at the same time. When we arrived it was a hot and sunny weekend - there was no shade in the garden - we would recommend a patio umbrella or canopy. We also would have appreciated knowing in advance that logging was taking place on the nearly hillside - at 7.30am each morning we were woken up by chainsaws and heavy machinery - we appreciate this is beyond the property owners control but i think a notice on the booking site making people aware of this would have been appropriate and courteous. I assume at some stage this will cease but for now it is a nuisance! No welcome pack which was a shame :( - it would have been a nice touch. If these issues are addressed we think it would a lovely holiday rental.

  Thank you for your email reminding us to leave the flat as we found it.

  Whilst Glan Y Mor looked clean when we arrived there are several points I would like to make: Baking tray, rack and roasting pan in the oven had clearly not been cleaned properly in a long time and were rusted and unusable. Wooden utensils are extremely unhygienic and we would not use them No kitchen tongs or slotted spoon Outlet at back of fridge is in need of a good clean and sterilisation. Indicative of fridge not being cleaned adequately. Laundry powder drawer on washing machine is dirty with mould and the machine smelled. Pillows are so thin they could be used for origami. Towels are not adult size, are thin and of poor quality. Thankfully I brought my own. Armchairs and cushions need a deep clean. Overflow outlets in basins are brown with mould and need attention. Not properly cleaned. Mould around shower base and tiles. Paintwork in several areas is chipped/dirty. Although I have a Netflix account, this could not be connected. Other clients have made the same complaint in the guest book. After stripping the beds as requested, I have also found stained mattress and pillow protectors and dirty toilet bins. Instead of asking clients to ensure the flat is clean and tidy for the cleaners, maybe you should ensure that your cleaners do their job properly. Glan y Mor is in the perfect location but is, sadly, far from perfect. I have taken photographs to support my claims and prevent any possible charges. If this is the standard we can expect from Sykes properties, especially at the start of the season, I we will not be booking with you in the future.

  A lovely apartment with fabulous views.

  Worth noting that this is up a very step drive and the walk to the town is not to be underestimated! Many facilities were closed in Pendine due to the seasonal nature of the resort. The hot tub, sauna and other facilities in the apartment were a good addition and made for a very relaxing stay. The view is simply wonderful and despite some rainy days, the ever changing landscape never failed to impress. Earlier comments mentioned the decking was a little worn - it looks as if this has been replaced and was new. A few minor niggles:- 1) the underfloor heating was set to 20.5 and there was no instructions on how to alter this. The apartment got quite hot, particularly in the bedroom at night given the boiler was located here. We ended up opening many windows which seemed a waste of electricity. Some instructions in the welcome folder would be great. 2) The cleanliness of the apartment was not up to scratch. The dining and living room tables were sticky and just needed a good clean. There were many cobwebs in the corners of rooms and things generally needed a good deep clean. 3) unlike other Sykes and other holiday cottages, there were no essentials left - no washing liquid, no toilet roll, only three dishwasher tablets for a week. Whilst we accept we will top up, we would expect at least something to get you started.
