  Lovely place to stay.

  Even though this is a working farm it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Lovely large comfortable beds and plenty of comfy seating to relax in. The property was tastefully furnished and was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The hot tub was an added bonus, even though it can’t be used after 9pm, though a trellis would add a bit of extra privacy. The welcome pack of wine, delicious farm eggs and flowers was a lovely and much appreciated touch. There is plenty to do and see within short travelling distances, lots of lovely walks and superb beaches. This really is a lovely area of Wales for a holiday. Haverfordwest, which is just a short drive away from the property, has plenty of places to eat and we can thoroughly recommend the Bristol Trader. We were a party of 6 and can honestly say their Sunday lunch was the best meal we have ever eaten, though booking is advisable. We had slight difficulties accessing the property initially as the information provided by Sykes was incorrect, so recommend contacting the owners in advance. It’s also worth noting that one of the upstairs bedrooms is galleried and overlooks the main living area as this was something we hadn’t realised from the description. Overall we had a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.

  We had a great week at Greenbanks.

  We were a family bubble of six adults and were pleasantly surprised to find the house spacious and comfortable. The distant view of the sea from the living/dining room and garden was better than we had expected from the website, and was a real tonic in these restricted times. It is a 15 minute walk from the house down hill to a lovely bay where you can join the Coastal path. We walked from the house to Cardigan one day and to Newport another, picnicking on the cliffs on the way. It is sooo beautiful. The house is fully equipped, as other guests have mentioned. Loads of cooking and e.g. Tupperware equipment - really thoughtful. Multiple hairdryers. Helpful owner offered advice and extended our arrival and leaving times as no other guests preceded or followed at that time. We mostly kept to ourselves because of CV, taking most of our food with us - there was plenty of storage space in the kitchen cupboards and huge fridge freezer. We did visit Dyffryn Fernant garden which was only 4 minutes away by car and lovely, and took boat trip from St David’s around Ramsey Island to see the seals etc , great fun and also clean and safe. We’d come again, no doubt!

  This is probably the best equipped property we have ever rented.

  The only gadget I would suggest as an addition would be a food processor! The property was spotlessly clean and the furniture, including the beds was comfortable and practical. . The large living room to the rear is great for dining and for socialising and the garden and patio are a sun trap and perfect for young children to play in safely. Dinas is a nice village with 2 excellent pubs, a chip shop, a village shop and a filling station with small supermarket attached. There are several nice beaches within easy walking distance along quiet lanes or via the gorgeous coastal path. Beautiful Fernant gardens are nearby and well worth a visit. Trefdraeth (Newport) is one of the prettiest villages/small towns in Wales and there are several nice eateries and pubs as well as some interesting independent shops. The only very minor negatives were the poor wifi signal and TV reception (not the owner's fault and who visits this part of Wales to sit indoors?); the complicated waste recycling system (again, not the owner's fault) and finally, the handle on the upstairs toilet kept falling off. We would definitely recommend this property and we hope to return.

  We really liked Mill Cottage and it suited our party very well.

  The lounge area was fantastic. However there were few things that caused us problems, partly due to the lack of information provided in the property and in advance of us going. In particular: 1. The TV - we realise that TV reception is poor in Newport, but it would have been useful to know in advance that it is a Smart TV as it meant that we needed a laptop and HDMI cable to watch ITV live for the World Cup rugby. Luckily we had both but others may not realise this. Also the router had been unplugged by the cleaner and it was only because of the helpfulness of your local agent that we were able to get things working when we arrived. 2. There were 2 vacuum cleaners but neither worked. We managed to fix one which had a large stone stuck in the tube. Are these not checked between guests? 3. There were no instructions about rubbish, recycling and when bin day is 4. The shower didn't drain properly 5. Both toilet seats were loose We left a note about points 2-5 so they could be dealt with by the owner

  This house could be fantastic, but when we arrived it was dirty and unkempt.

  The driveway and garden were covered in weeds and the grass hadn't been mowed in weeks, making the back lawn unuseable. There were no tea towels, hand towels, or any form of welcome pack. The fridge was dirty, there was dirty washing left in the washing machine, old soap left in the shower, and the windows inside and out were filthy. There is damp in the top bedroom which needs addressing, the extractor hood didn't work, there was no washing up bowl and no chain on the plug, stains on the bedroom rug, dirt under the sofas ... I could go on. The standards of cleanliness and maintenance were woeful. I must stress though that Coast and Country Holidays were fantastic in sorting out the issues promptly, but you shouldn't have to spend the first day of your holiday getting the house cleaned and the garden hacked back.
