What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was warm and large enough in terms of living, sleeping and dining space, but one bathroom and toilet is not sufficient for the size of the property.

  The garden isn't secure with gaps and broken panels in the fence, which would allow my small dogs to escape. The garden also had feaces in it, which made it a problem for my dogs. I had to clean them on the first day And after that I couldnt allow them to go outside without a lead. The hottub had far too much chemical in it, it made my families hands peel. The dishwasher wasn't working and the hot tap in the kitchen wasn't working well, so using the hot water from this source to wash up was a problem. We boiled the kettle each time we needed to wash up. Some of the crockery was chipped, and old. Generally the property was comfortable enough, and we enjoyed our holiday but this property needed some maintenance. It felt unloved, it needed some TLC and a spring clean. It could be a really good property with a little bit of attention and maintenance. In terms of ratings, we felt that it falls short of 4.7 out of 5, and is the most disappointing of the 4 properties we have visited from Sykes Cottages site. Some of the things I've listed in my feedback are already documented in the visitors book, and still haven't been actioned. The property location is very quite, and in that way, a good place for a relaxing break. However, within a few miles there are local facilities and access to a small town. We received some locally sourced food item's on arrival, these were appreciated.

  The cottage was very isolated and quiet.

  It was clean and mostly well equipped. Lots of plates, crockery etc and really good frying pans but no lidded bowls for microwave cooking that I could find. The welcome pack was very nice. The house was cosy and warm except for the shower room which was unheated. The double glazing was very effective. We were in touch with the owner about the heating and were happy with her response. Some safety issues not mentioned in the description or comments: The children’s bedroom door opens directly on to the stairs and the edge of the stairs cuts across the doorway. The doorframes on most of the doors are low, the bathroom door about 5’ 5”. My tall husband cracked his head on them a number of times leaving him bruised and bloodied. I check all photos and try not to select properties to rent with low ceilings or beams but didn’t spot the doorframes. The bath seemed deep and long but had no non slip mat or grab rails. The glimpses of the sea were lovely when the weather was kind. The beds were comfortable. The towels were a decent quality and we were advised to bring bath sheets if required.

  Bank House Farm is surprisingly big inside, we were 3 adults so plenty of room.

  The beds were comfortable but we found the lounge furniture uncomfortable, especially in the "tv room". We had a couple of issues that needed attention and they were dealt with very promptly by the owners. There could be a few more glasses, plates and dishes so that the dishwasher wouldn't need running everyday, definitely more than 5 teaspoons and lids that fit the saucepans! Although there is a big hall and good size utility room there wasn't an ideal place to hang wet jackets. The biggest downside was the old farm buildings very close to the house and blocking the lovely views out to sea, although they would protect the house from an on shore wind. There is a picnic bench but there doesn't seem to be an ideal position for it. Unfortunately we didn't have the weather to use it. It is in a windy spot and that together with the old farm buildings would prevent us from going back.

  A charming old Welsh farm cottage preserved in a 'period' style.

  It reminded me of my granny's home in Llanelli! That all the furniture was 'in keeping' was endearing, although the sofas are in need of a 're-foam' to restore their comfort. Delith, the owner, contacted me a few days in advance of our booking to clarify access arrangements, which was much appreciated, as was the milk, bottle of good red wine, and Welshcakes that were left for us. First question on this feedback form was: 'How likely are you to recommend us?", which, I presume relates to Sykes Holiday Cottages and NOT the property itself. I have scored this '2' only. The Sykes team was not helpful. When I was forced to amend our dates of stay, there appeared to be no way of incorporating a special offer price that had been posted in the interim as 'Computer says no.' Instead, I had to cancel and rebook, which was a pain and took numerous 'phone calls.

  Great location near fantastic beach and facilities in Broad Haven.

  Corner Cottage is small but has prettty much everything you need for a comfortable seaside holiday in Pembrokeshire. We were 3 adults and a dog which was fine, 4 adults would have been less so, but if you have brilliant weather like we did you can spill outside. There were a few small issues you wouldn't expect (no washing up liquid, old coffee left in a jar on dusty shelf, cleaning equipment etc stored in the double bedroom wardrobe) and the upstairs area was really just a storeroom. However on the whole we were happy with the accommodation and enjoyed the many attractions of the immediate area and beyond. Such a pity the Puffin coastline bus wasn't operating - this would have made walking the coastal path and exploring much simpler. We would return if visiting Broad Haven again.
