  10th November 2019.

  Group of three. The accomodation we chose was the Dragon lodge and what a delight it was. Spacious, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Our hosts, Kev and Julie, were absolutely fantastic and provided all our needs and more. The secure entry ensured no one could access the lodge as the key is placed in key safe upon arrival. The rooms were airy and the central heating system controls are modern and easy to use. In fact all the facilities are first class and new. The hot tub is just wonderful and a lovely place to be in the evening as the dark draws in and gets colder. Its cleaned and treated daily. The log burner is fantastic and heats up the lodge in no time at all. I struggled with getting it going at first but a quick message to our hosts and Kev arrived within ten minutes to get it started for me. Thats one of biggest stand out points too, that our hosts were courteous, very pleasant and handled any queries we had in a timely manner. The kitchen is modern, new and has everything you need for your stay. Tea, coffee, sugar, bread, a complimentary cake and even little things like dishwasher tablets were provided that make things easier and more comfortable for you to settle in. There is a smart TV with remotes in all bedrooms, the beds are super comfortable and even my best mate with back problems had a good nights rest with no issues. The bathrooms are also a highlight with new rain style shower heads that give you great hot water with a decent pressure. There are plenty of towels given in the rooms for the bathrooms and hot tub use. Your children can also have fun trying to find the elusive Dewi the dragon that is hidden somewhere within the lodge. Parking is fine, close and adjacent to the lodge with no problems for access with anyone with mobility issues or wheelchair users. My friends and I had an amazing time during our short stay and we would just like to say a big thankyou to Kev and Julie for being so hospitable. We will definitely be returning in the future as its an A* venue.

  We have just returned home from Orchard Lodge as a group of 6 including 2 children and 2 young dogs.

  The below sums up our experience: Spacious lodge, Nice welcome binder with information on the lodge and local area, Nice amount of parking available on shared drive with us having two cars and the other accommodation having 2 with still plenty of room. Very well equipped with good kitchen supplies and family activities. TV with a Netflix account and on demand however no live tv, Brilliant set up for dogs with fully enclosed garden however an apple tree on left hand side of the lodge had a lot of fallen apples. With young dogs this wasn’t ideal, however we used a spare piece of fencing to block the gap near the hot tub which meant the dogs were not able to get to the apples (as poisonous to dogs). As a suggestion a permanent fence or gate to avoid this would be helpful. The living room area was carpeted and was a bit grubby, having wipe clean flooring in this area would be more hygienic. Bbq and outdoor furniture/decking wasn’t very clean and covered in bird poo. Dog poo in garden when we arrived. Large hole dug in garden. Wi-Fi is really temperamental and doesn’t reach well to back bedroom. I think this could be easily resolved with a Wi-Fi extender. However it also stopped working completely twice during our stay and can only be reset in the other holiday let. The hot tub is a massive bonus for the lodge. It was set to 39 when we arrived and keeps its heat extremely well. The lights are a nice touch and add to the atmosphere in the evening. We did have a few issues with the hot tub at one point but messaged the number provided and they quickly sent someone out to sort it. Overall we had a lovely time. The small things mentioned didn’t affect the holiday just some suggestions for future. We would recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a reasonably priced dog friendly lodge.

  Absolutely fantastic lodge.

  Spotlessly clean, well maintained and was equipped with absolutely everything we needed and more. So many personal touches such as the selection of DVDs, numerous games such as connect 4, playing cards, tennis racquets, cricket set, things in the kitchen which covered every scenario. Picnic? Check. BBQ? Check. Tea coffee and condiments with a more than ample amount of crockery? Check. Modern oven and temperature controls for every room. Very fast Wi-Fi. If I had to be extremely picky and criticise one thing the doors are virtually impossible to close quietly after getting young children to sleep. The location is superb. Just a couple of miles away from all of Pembrokeshire’s main attractions. The estate is served by an ample car park which even has an old phone box that has been converted into a library, tennis court, small children’s play area and fields of fun for dogs and people alike. The village of Kilgetty is a few miles away with a supermarket (Co-op) Indian, Chinese, Pizza/Kebab shop etc that will all deliver to the lodge. 10 out of 10.

  We are familiar with the lodge as we stayed at The Orchard for several years prior to it being sold .

  The accommodation afforded by the lodge was ideal for two adults and our big. Anymore and I think it would have felt crowded . Just couple of negatives there is no cupboard available to put food in eg tins of tomatoes soup cereal boxes as all cupboards filled with cooking utensils . Some of the towels had seen better days never didn’t use had what doorsteps to be hair dye staining. On stripping the bed the duvet was stained and had seen better days. We replaced the batteries in the tv remote . Would be an idea to have some in a drawer for such an event. Location of the fuse box needs to be made to future residents as we had a trip in the electric the first morning and struggled to find it . I had to phone Annette the management lady . Apart from niggles we had a good week but think the fencing around the lodge needs replacing as it’s rotting in parts . The gate drive has a panel of roof missing leaving a hole hence making garden not dog proof. A stray dog appeared on the lawn which was shooed off but managed to leave a present in the drive !!!!

  On arrival checked barbecue, full of ashes, unusable.

  Main gate really hard to open and shut. Cooker hood thick with grease, cooker light flickering, oven dirty, didn’t use. Doors had food or drink spills, thick dust under fire place, tree piece comfortable but really dirty, Lino in toilet all ups and bumps, main bathroom paper coming off the walls, couldn’t use vacuum smelt doggy when used first time. decking half stained, container left out in garden, blind in kitchen couldn’t pull down no pull cord, and stained, didn’t have Wi-Fi, all week, could ring unless going to Abersoch, no signal for wats app phone. Don’t think property was ready to be let with so many issues. Didn’t complain at the time didn’t want any confrontation, very disappointed for the money we paid, we know the owners only had the property for six months, but that’s no excuse for cleanliness. First time of using Sykes cottages four times we have been disappointed, have photographs of complaints if needed.
