What our customers say about their holidays
Sarah - Verified booking
Lovely looking property inside and out, and very clean!
However, we really noticed where money had been saved, such as the paper thin hangers in the wardrobes, which couldnât even support the weight of a pair of trousers. Additionally, the mattresses were very, very soft and in the double room my husband and I just rolled into the middle where there was no support under the bed at all. The 3 seater sofa was also very soft and we were nearly at the floor if we sat in the middle! I think it must be a sofa bed but this meant again there was nothing other than the cushion under us if we sat there. By the end of the week, all 4 of our backs were aching! Additionally, the listing says that things like toilet roll and dishwasher tablets are provided so we didnât bring any but we were left with 2 dishwasher tablets and a small roll of toilet roll in each toilet, which wasnât enough given that we cooked a full meal for 4 each evening and were there for a full week. Unfortunately, as we checked in at 5.30ish on the Friday, reception was closed and there was only an emergency number to call. I did text it to say we didnât have enough (as this didnât feel like an emergency) but I didnât hear anything back and, as we had to go shopping and the bits we had wouldnât last until Monday when staff were next in, we just bought more dishwasher tablets and toilet roll (annoying as have plenty at home and would have bought this had I known we would receive so little rather than buying new packs). It does seem strange that for a holiday site that takes bookings for arrivals on Fridays only that they then have no staff in for the whole weekend and staff work normal Friday hours! Maybe this should be re-thought? Either way, we just sorted ourselves and didnât mention to staff (other than the text) come Monday as it would have been to no effect for us. Lastly, Wales has very strict recycling rules (fair enough!) but, given the site really wants you to recycle properly and makes it clear in the welcome pack, they didnât make it easy at all. For example, food waste should be separated but we couldnât even find a food waste bin outside⦠although it did appear later in the week. Additionally, there was no extra facility within the lodge to separate out recycling, food waste etc which meant that we needed to manually separate out everything in the lodge using kitchen bowls (food waste) and bags we had brought with us unless we were to walk to the bins all the time! Then, to top it off, the bins outside were overflowing (other than general waste) which meant that other types of recycling started being loaded up outside of the bins. Just seems that this should have been better thought out too. I (honestly!) wouldnât normally mention all these things but the images and, genuinely, the look of the property itself are lovely but the money saving tactics used that you canât see until arrival did make us feel we had an inaccurate listing that was slightly overpriced. We did receive a small discount prior to arrival as the lodge we actually booked was sold a few weeks before we were due to arrive but this move was labelled an âupgradeâ but we really donât believe it was (other than the addition of the hot tub, which only one of us was interested in using anyway) but we accepted it as it was too late to cancel/change our other holiday plans which we had booked months in advance (inc our tickets to Skomer Island, which for 4 totalled around £200 a day and we were going twice).

There is potential for a 5 star rating but a couple of niggles for us on our stay.
We messaged the mobile number on our arrival to ask about fuel for the fire and had a response on Tuesday ( good job it wasn't a major incident) I called and left a message for the owner on the Saturday, who did come back within a couple of hours and was extremely helpful. The main settee cushions slide when you sit on them so constantly need readjusted. During the first readjustment we found a partial packet of cigarettes down the side of the cushions. As non smokers we put them in the bin by the fire. We had 2 - 3 inches if snow on the Tuesday night and couldn't get our car into the site due to the steep slopes. There's grit and salt around the site but too far apart it was a hard slog trying to clear the hill from the supplies at the bottom of the hill, so unless you have a 4 x4 this might not be the place to visit in winter! Had to leave the car at the adventure centre car park. Tip here; if you have to leave your car there, email them as they are very friendly, helpful and will keep an eye out on their cctv! Heating is good, however as the stat is in the hall and not in the main lounge, this gets warm quickly shuts down heating for the rest of the lodge which can be uncomfortable: Since they don't want you to adjust this, I found that turning down the trv valve (<3) on the radiator in the hall and turning up those in the main lodge (4) gave a comfortable heat. A final gripe: there was no heating on the last morning (normally on 7 -10) and temperatures down to 14 degrees on the thermostat reading and for some reason the "boost" didn't help. Where I understand that property is vacated at 10:00 and doors will be opened as we take everything out, it would be better to have this on "say till 8:30" so we are a bit more comfortable with our breakfast, coffee in the morning and getting out of the shower. Overall it's a great lodge, lots of space and if we were to return for another break in the area, this would be on our list to return.

We are a family of 5 (children aged 8,11,14) and stayed at 2 Strathtay lodges in February half term.
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The lodge was spotlessly clean, well equipped, warm, and comfortable. Even down to little plug in night lights which came on automatically at night (perfect for our 8 year old). We cooked at the lodge rather than eating out, the kitchen was better equipped than our one at home. Everything had been thought of. We could have quite happily lived here forever. If internet is important to you, itâs worth noting this can be a bit sporadic. This wasnât an issue for us. The view from the lodge more than compensated! I took so many photos, itâs a shame you canât put them in a review! In terms of location, we found Aberfeldy well placed if you donât mind a drive. The main roads up to the north are easy to drive on, and we drove up to The Cairngorms and Aviemore, Dalwhinnie distillery (highly recommended!) The town itself has a small Co op and Asda petrol station - we had a run to Perth which was about 45 mins for a big supermarket shop. There is an excellent bike hire shop at the bottom of the road to the lodge, which my bike mad 14 year old was more than happy with, and MTB routes up from Aberfeldy are excellent. Biking is a great way to explore. There is also a place to book rafting, wrong time of year for us, but we would have definitely done this if we had visited later in the year. Walking routes are brilliant, we had a lovely afternoon walking round the Birks of Aberfeldy, and down by the river. It is worth seeking out local knowledge for locations. For an active family this is an absolute five star holiday. The lodge is perfect to come back to after a day of adventure. We would stay here again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Well where do I start.
... we got to the little haven resort after a 5 hour drive from Nottingham on Sat 21st Oct and someone was in our lodge! I called the emergency number on the 3rd time a guy answered and said he would come over from Tenby be about 40 mins, he never met us there. In the meantime I saw a maintenance manager who said he may have a solution!! We was put in a beautiful lodge but this was only available as they had a cancellation due to floods on the Friday otherwise we would of been up the creek without a paddle!! The chap who I spoke to on the phone I have since learned he's the director. I am disspointed he never even called to see if we was OK being as he never came down. The lodge we was transfered to was owned by Jacque and Rodger it's called Oyster and lovely. Just to say Amanda at Little Haven Retreat who I saw on the Monday (as no one was in reception over the weekend as it was closed) has given us a discount on our next booking. I do however think if you have check ins over the weekend there should be someone there to check in as things happen obviously. If it wasn't for the maintenca guy and oyster being available we would of been stranded and had to look elsewhere for alternate accommodation we was away for our brother in laws birthday and also our wedding anniversary so this was added stress we did not need after a long journey. 1st and last time bokking through sykes sorry to say.

On arrival we thought the outside of this particular property needed a little TLC.
Access stepâs & bannister rickety & in need of a repaint. Inside first impressions lovely & spacious, bedrooms fabulous. Facilities good but kettle & cutlery could do with replacing. Lounge curtains too long & bunched up on the floor, causing a trip hazard. The windows were not clean & tap in second bathroom was very stiff. I received the E-mail regarding âno water in the lakeâ the day we arrived so disappointed it was not as advertised. The site was not clearly marked on the entrance from the road (faded) & the long drive to the site was off putting. However our stay was comfortable & we had fabulous weather (loved the hammock) so enjoyed visiting places we had not been to before. We will use Sykes again of course but check information about properties thoroughly before booking.
