What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is absolutely idyllic and in a lovely area with beautiful views, this is where the positive feedback ends.

  The property is not very clean, cobwebs on the windows, dirty carpets and sofa, scuffed walls, dead flys on surfaces these issues may be down to the cleaning staff and not the owner BUT the old fashioned interior is down to the owner, the stair carpet dates from circa 1960 and it could be made into a lovely modern cottage, instead of an old fashioned cottage, which holds no appeal. Apat from above, the main gripe for us was on 3 seperate occasions, somebody entered the cottage without our permission, when we weren't home. We thought it odd when we were told to leave the keys in the key safe when we were out.....the first occasion somebody entered the property, we knew as the doors had been left open when we had closed them AND the key safe wasn't on the numbers we had left them on, when we left the property, that occurred on 2 more occasions. We approached sykes who weren't Interested and they informed the owner who stated nobody had entered the cottage this is not true, we have no reason to lie what would be our gain? Would we stay there again NO, is it overpriced YES ....its like staying in an elderly relatives home but the difference is one has to pay......not a happy experience at all.

  We had a week in Penllain as a family of four in July 2023.

  The cottage is every bit as charming as the pictures show; it is as neat as a pin, thoughtfully appointed and is obviously well loved and cared for. Inside is a very well kitted out kitchen with all that you could need for creating culinary delights, a cosy lounge with a fire and really comfy sofa and chairs and even blankets to snuggle up with. The bedrooms are very comfortable, perfect for catching up on sleep and letting teens lie in! The downstairs bathroom is spot on with a good shower over the bath, steam free mirror and underfloor heating, again all appreciated by the teenagers. Outside, the garden is perfect for games and sitting in the sun. The location is fabulous, off the beaten track, very peaceful and with stunning views. The track outside leads straight up on to the top of the hills so walking from the front door is an easy option which we enjoyed. We also walked back to the cottage from Newport without getting run over... The cottage would give you the same sort of hug in winter as it does in the summer, and we will definitely be back - with our dog next time. Highly recommend it as a place to take the chance to slow down, recharge and restore oneself.

  Lyndale is an excellent large space which accommodates a big group with ease.

  We have just spent 5 nights there in mid-May 2024, and loved both the house and the very welcoming village of Newport. Driveway took 2 cars, our 3rd car was parked on the road just in front. The kitchen is very well stocked: glasses, crockery & cutlery aplenty. Large welcoming kitchen table will easily accommodate 9 folks and more. Superb fridge & freezer. My only tiny point for the owners: the drainage in the back Double En Suite bathroom is slow, both from the hand basin, and from the shower/bath. At first I thought there might be a blockage. This did not seem to be the case - when I removed both plugs the water shot down the drain with gusto. The shower/bath plug has a mesh basket attached which really slows down drainage. Once the plug is lifted out, the bath drains very rapidly. The slow drainage from the hand basin is more of a mystery, perhaps a dose of Drain Unblocker Gloop might assist? In summary, we all loved our stay in Lyndale, and I would say that it's the best equipped house I have ever rented. The Ground Floor Shower area is a stroke of genius, and we found the house & contents absolutely spotless. Huge thank you to the owners.

  We really liked Mill Cottage and it suited our party very well.

  The lounge area was fantastic. However there were few things that caused us problems, partly due to the lack of information provided in the property and in advance of us going. In particular: 1. The TV - we realise that TV reception is poor in Newport, but it would have been useful to know in advance that it is a Smart TV as it meant that we needed a laptop and HDMI cable to watch ITV live for the World Cup rugby. Luckily we had both but others may not realise this. Also the router had been unplugged by the cleaner and it was only because of the helpfulness of your local agent that we were able to get things working when we arrived. 2. There were 2 vacuum cleaners but neither worked. We managed to fix one which had a large stone stuck in the tube. Are these not checked between guests? 3. There were no instructions about rubbish, recycling and when bin day is 4. The shower didn't drain properly 5. Both toilet seats were loose We left a note about points 2-5 so they could be dealt with by the owner

  The cottage is beautiful, in a lovely location and has been sympathetically renovated.

  We all loved the view with a coffe in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening by the fire pit, absolutely stunning! beds and sofa comfortable, Walks and beaches in the area are wonderful. Newport town is quaint and has some lovely shops/pubs, however roads/pavements very narrow and lots of traffic which make it difficult to negotiate with children and dogs. Small issue withsome of the cleanliness, the cooker, which had not been cleaned, pumped out thick black smoke, filling the whole house and leaving a lingering smell all week. I did give it a clean, however it needs a proper clean with a proper cooker cleaner as the elements on top are caked in grime and I couldn't get it all off with just cream cleaner available. Rubbish found under sofa and thick cobwebs behind downstairs bedside cudboards and lots of food/condiments left in cudboard, a big no in the current climate. The hot tap in bathroom can not be used as it leaks badly.
