  A perfect location for dog and I to visit contacts in the Aberystwyth area.

  The cottage was immaculately clean and freshly decorated. As it turned chilly I was especially thankful that the heating was efficient for an extra degree or two for a short time in the morning. I agree with other visitors that a double bed (or a linked singles) would be much better upstairs. I was alone this time so it did not matter - but for the future? The bunk bed was really more suitable for children. I slept there because it was near the bathroom but next visit will sleep upstairs. Te space under the stairs was excellent for the dog crate. I also agree that the low wall outside needs a half meter fence to make it more dog secure. My dog does not jump thankfully but I was a little nervous. Parking in the adjacent layby was convenient and felt safe. The road is not busy but the few drivers mostly seemed to be travelling far too fast! The wood burning stove was a bonus and easy to use. I was impressed with the file of appliance instructions although the ones I used were simple to operate. Cooking facilities excellent. I do like to find a useful cupboard full of odds and ends left by previous visitors (herbs, oil, etc) and there was not one, but imagine this might be a covid regulation? I did not have time to be a tourist during this visit but I know the area well and the cottage is in a great location for walking, and bird watching. Feeding the red kites at Nant yr Arian is a sight not to be missed. Overall ideal and if I travel alone again I will hope to return. I am not sure why Sykes have Friday to Friday bookings? This seems curious as most people take a week off work and I suspect many, like me, have to arrive on Saturday thus miss a days holiday.

  Lovely house which was exceptionally clean.

  Ideal location in Cardigan - less than a minute to walk to the nearest cafes and shops. There is street parking outside which is handy for arrival and departure but the swimming pool car park was very useful as you can buy a weekly pass (£14.60 not £10.50 as listed in the description but still a bargain!) and there were always plenty of spaces. The swimming pool has closed down. Plenty of storage in the kitchen. Lots of things supplied by the owner should you need to borrow anything you've forgotten eg beach towels, picnic blanket, reading glasses. Lounge and dining area comfy but possibly a little small for our family of 5 (3 adults and 2 older teenagers). Sofa and armchair extremely comfy but the last one there missed out and had to sit on the bench seat (on the photos it looks like a sofa but it isn't) Bathroom on first floor a good size but no lock on the door. Bedrooms on this level were cosy but all had good storage and were very comfortable. Large bedroom on the top floor also comfortable. Lots of clean, attractive decor in all rooms which made the property even more homely and attractive.

  Really enjoyed our break - 4 adults and two grandchildren.

  Quite a few issues when we arrived, light bulb missing in the bedroom bedside lamp, no plug in ensuite bathtub, door didn't stay closed in bedroom, tumble dryer tripped out the electrics, downstairs shower temperature couldn't be adjusted. The owners happily came to inspect and some of the issues were rectified. We were also surprised we didn't receive a welcome pack as this is usual in all sykes cottages we have previously stayed in, however the owners did provide a dozen eggs at no charge. As we were leaving we had to retrieve a toy from behind a sofa, It was very dusty and didn't appear to have had a deep clean for a while. Mr and Mrs Evans were very friendly and were helpful with advice on where we should visit. The grandchildren loved their stay and thanks to Mr Evans for allowing our eldest grandchild to sit in his tractor and explore the farm.We had the pleasure of seeing one day old piglets, great base to stay for exploring the area around Cardigan and further afield.

  Water had run out by the evening of day 4.

  Couldn't get signal in the house to call so had to drive up the road to telephone the owner. He later let me know a neighbour would fill the water tank in the evening. 24 hours later. Apparently the neighbour filled the tank but there was an airlock the land lord thought and still no water. The owner said he would come by the next morning. Which would be 36 hours without water. No drinking water, flushing loo or ability to wash up. We have pride so bought bottled water to manage this. Owner intimated that he was surprised the water was gone? And questioned how many people were staying. So if you are able to ration your water, it is a pleasant place to stay. I told the landlord I wouldn't stay another night without water and that we were leaving. (As I like to wash) the landlord did not reply and offered no apology or financial recompense. Otherwise lovely place if you can do without water for a few days and don't need a double bed.

  This has been our best holiday ever.

  Every picture the summary of the bungalow does not do it justice. The maintenance of the property is top notch and so are the grounds. The pool is disabled friendly it has steps and is lovely and warm. Both pool and hot tub is tested daily this gives peace of mind. There is a Sunday car boot right opposite the lane if you like car boots!!.Claire and Jamie are brilliant nothing is to much. It’s like going to far flung heaven then you leave and come back down to earth. The beaches in the are safe and dog friendly and so is the bungalow with a dog field which is secure. The towns do operate Sunday closure and half day Wednesday. There are loads of big supermarkets close by. This place is amazing and if. you want a relaxing holiday this is the place,and totally disabled friendly and a full working kitchen.
