What our customers say about their holidays

  The one good thing about this property is that the garden is far more enclosed than expected.

  So the dogs could be watched but didn't have to be kept on a lead all the time. However that is where the good things stopped. The property is very damp, as a family member suffers from asthma we considered going home early but having travelled six hours to the cottage decided to stay for the majority of our booking. To minimize the problem we had to keep the windows fully open night and day whenever we were in, which unfortunately meant the VERY loud road noise woke us early every morning as the cottage is maybe thirty feet from the roadside. Also the advertised Sky TV is no longer connected, the satellite dish is hanging off the wall and you are limited to Free-sat - but because the wifi is so slow that it is practically non existent, there is no means to stream any TV shows. You have to watch live or not bother. I too ran a speed test which came back as 25 Kbps maximum ie 0.02Mbps which reminded me of the early 90's. We would have brought a DVD player with us had we known, as Amazon Prime or Netflix or any of the terrestrial catch up channels just wouldn't work. We eventually used our mobile phone as a, "hot spot" to be able to check emails but as we don't have unlimited data that was about it. As the sofa has no cushioning whatsoever and needs to be replaced you wouldn't want to sit too long anyway, it is like sitting on a church pew. We did contact Sykes and sent them a photograph of the black mould on the, (unnecessary) bathroom curtains but have never had the courtesy of even a reply. Lovely area and we are back in December but we won't stay at Panteg again.

  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.

  The cottage is lovely but too close to a busy and sometimes noisy road, great garden though.

  I nearly knocked myself out on the low kitchen doorway and it took me two bumps and two days to learn. My fault, not the doorway !! The guttering over the front door leaks and when it's raining you get an unwanted shower on entry and exit. The hot water is scalding hot and the temperature should be reduced. Other than that it's a lovely comfortable house, located in a great position for visiting the many beaches and coves up and down the coast. The welcome pack was a great idea and very well received, thank you for that. Also two folders on the dining room table were packed with useful information. All in all a well thought out holiday home. Would I visit again and would I recommend a visit - the answer is yes.

  Such a beautiful home with a beautiful beach within a 5 min walk.

  We loved our stay here, the view was beautiful, it was very peaceful, the log fire was a special touch too. We felt very at home, cosy and safe. Other beaches, villages and attractions within a short drive too. There is a caravan park close to the property which the photos hide, and at the end of the driveway there is another rental property. One improvement for us as dog onwers would be for the access between the two properties to be gated/fenced maybe? We had to be really on top of stopping the dogs wandering to next doors garden as they also had a dog - maybe something about garden not been enclosed could be added to description. Either way, I'd love to visit again! Beautiful. Thankyou

  The good points - well located for touring the local area, very clean and tidy with good gardens.

  Bad points - Not as advertised. No Sky Tv, no DVD player, WIFI extremely poor. I did a speed test and got between 0.02Mbs and 0.00Mbs whilst I was there. This was basically unusable. The sofa in the main living area is well past its best. it was like sitting on a park bench. not something you would sit on for more than a few minutes. The toilet was useless. although we observed the many instructions on what to flush nothing would flush down without several dozen attempts. I would stay in this area again but not in this cottage.
