“On arrival at sea rose cottage, there hadn't been anyone to clean the cottage out, which wasn't nice to see on my arrival.”

I rang the number got no answer, but left a voice message explaining my concern. Called me back and apologised and in half an hour they sent a cleaner out, with complementarys , which was really nice. Over all we enjoyed our stay, plenty of places to go, great food, lovely people. The only fault was the wi fi connection, the cleaner said he did fix it, when he emailed me, the rooter was flashing to say it was working, but we still couldn't get any wi fi connection.

Something the owner's need to look at to address. But overall it was a great stay. Thank you.

“It needs a good cleaning.”

Outside side area needed tidying up. bedding could of been better.

“Kitchen was stocked with bread, butter, milk and jam, which was lovely but there was NO tea or coffee.”

However, given how dirty some of the mugs were, that probably wasn't a bad thing. There were also dirty trays left in the oven and drawer. Rest of cottage was clean thankfully. However, frustrating as limited power points, and no shaver socket in bathroom for toothbrush. Bedroom door handle/latch was very stiff and hard to open. Shower temperature dial was also VERY stiff. It was stuck on boiling hot for ages and took two hands and a lot of effort to turn to a cooler temperature (and I'm young and fit!). No lights in car park: making it difficult when days are so short. I was very glad to leave!

We arrived to a musty smell around the house the out side looked unkempt and the bin out front wasn't emptied we had a nice welcome pack thankyou for that we only managed a four day stay as we found it very cold at night the electric fire did work but the heat mainly went up the stairs the radiator only heated two bars so now the weather going colder not very good the tv continually kept losing the WiFi so a bit annoying when watching a programme the only real warm place was the bedroom aberporth itself was lovely such a lovely bay good we had a few dry days to enjoy going out I think this place needs a bit of tlc

“We were a party of 3 adults (and 2 dogs).”

We all repeatedly commented on how impressed we were with the overall quality of the cottage, which was clean, tidy and suited us to a tee. Facilities-wise, while the wi-fi signal was a little unpredictable at times, the tv worked well, the kitchen facilities were excellent, and the shower was just perfect. Also, although we were lucky with the weather, the patio that trapped the early autumn sunshine at breakfast time, made for a brilliant start to each day. The dogs had a great time too!!! :-) Thank you to the owner and everyone at Sykes.

“First impressions good, ie clean and tidy inside all though a little musty, all well equipped, the down side were plants to front of property overgrown and obscuring views, Patio a good size with tables and chairs but overrun by weeds also boarders very overgrown, all other cottages very neat and tidy, widows could also doors with cleaning, these items put right would make my revue a lot better.”

“Sea Rose was so much more than the pictures could show!”

When we arrived it was spotlessly clean and so well presented with lovely bedding and plenty of soft towels. The rooms were so light and tastefully decorated with comfy beds and plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need for a few days away or even longer, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch especially as we needed to buy bread and milk.

“I had a lovely stay in the cottage there was everything I expected to be there.”

Grateful for the fans and I enjoyed the beaches around. The enclosed patio was lovely for my pooch. Some gardening wouldn’t go a miss the weeds on the patio were well established. It would have been a lot more pleasant to sit outside.

“Nice quiet location, good parking, clean and tidy house, plenty of cooking implements, good initial holiday package with toilet rolls, nice bread, Welsh cakes, pint of milk etc.”

Could do with cushions for dining chairs as very hard, couch & double bed not particularly comfy, lack of bedroom plug sockets, hot water issue with NONE on Saturday (maybe a timer issue?), poor emergency contact information for medical/dental issues, & no dining recommendations either. Outside wheelie bin was already quite full and lid open upon arrival, reduced daylight in kitchen due to bush obscuring window, WiFi very poor, and not enough 'bandwidth/power' to work I-player, Netflix or laptop, & TV prone to cutting off too. Diggers working in the field opposite bedroom window which were a little noisy, and would have been nice to have known about that beforehand?? Also, when trying to contact someone on the Saturday about the lack of hot water, I called three available numbers (it said one for owner?), but couldn't actually speak with anybody (even after being on hold for ages), and opted for the promised 'callback option', (which was never actually received!), and was then later informed by a message from Tom to "bear in mind that this isn't an instant response service, and we are open again from Monday"! Well, I suggest if the renter has an issue like No hot water or suchlike, then there should obviously be instant help available surely?? NOT GOOD, & NOT HAPPY WITH THAT!!

“Lovely short stay at Sea Rose Cottage.”

We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a clean welcoming cottage. The information booklet included everything we needed. The views and area were beautiful. We would love to stay again. Thank you. Alison, Neil and dogs

“The property is Brilliant, we will go back and recommend to family and friends.”

BUT we lived in Aberporth for 4 years full time and we know that there is only 1 company that can provide an Internet supply in that area and they are EE. The only negative point we had NO internet for the entire week. Not the end of the world but you do miss it.

“The property was beautiful but lacked a little in the cleanliness.”

- Serena, October 2024
Humphrey October 2024

“Sea Rose is a pretty little cottage near the seaside resort of Aberporth.”

We initially had a problem about getting hot water but after several messages to the owner this was resolved by using the booster switch in the airing cupboard. The cottage was attractively furnished and well equipped, and situated in the grounds of a large hotel. We had a very pleasant little garden for sitting outside. The cottage was a short drive down to the lovely beach and the friendly pub. We enjoyed our stay here.

Hollie September 2024

“We booked Sea Rose for 3 nights with our baby as a weekend away, but sadly we arrived at the property to find the heating off so it was freezing cold and took a while to warm up.”

The kitchen was dirty with unwashed coffee cups, an old dirty kettle and dirty oven. Unfortunately, the property wasn’t overly clean anywhere else and when we pulled out the highchair to use it too needed a good clean. The lack of any welcome pack made using the appliances difficult and we couldn’t access the wifi, although it barely ran the tv so probably wouldn’t have managed our phones as well. The bathroom door didn’t close which didn’t matter to us but should probably be fixed. The saving grace was the location, just 5 minutes outside of Aberporth, which had a gorgeous beach, great fish and chips, and a lovely pub! We won’t be booking this cottage again sadly and actually ended up leaving after 2 nights.

- Hollie, September 2024

We understand how important a comfortable and clean environment is, especially when traveling with a baby, and we sincerely apologise for the issues you faced.

“Lovely cottage.”

Location not the best as its a fairly busy road with no pavement to walk into Aberporth and fairly steep coming back . We could have done with more info on working the Tv and what packages extra channels were available as we were unsure . Floor and some surfaces could do with more cleaning but as it was the end of the season that probably accounts for it . Towels , bedding all lovely quality and well decorated and finishing touches were lovely .Lovely welshcakes and fresh milk were appreciated .

- Gillian, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cottage, particularly the quality of the towels, bedding, and those lovely finishing touches. We’re glad you appreciated the Welsh cakes and fresh milk as well. We apologise for the discomfort you experienced regarding the location, however, all previous guests did not find it being an issue. Regarding the TV setup, we will also provide clearer instructions for operating the TV in the 'Welcome Pack' to enhance our guests' experience. We are sorry to hear that you found some cleanliness issues. We have raised this with the cleaner directly to make sure the property is cleaned to its highest standards. Thank you once again for your valuable insights. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay in the future!' Property Owner

“This small house is pleasant, reasonably well furnished and best of all, in a quiet country location; a bit of a ghost village actually, and a mile inland from the sea in Aberporth.”

It lies in the grounds of an expensive hotel where drinks at the bar might require a mortgage ! Unfortunately, when we arrived, a wheelie bin at the front door was overflowing with 6 or 7 weeks of rubbish stinking like a garbage dump. We complained and it was emptied 5 days later. Arriving after a 3 hour 30 minute drive to the property, we needed the loo. There was no toilet paper or kitchen roll provided. We complained and were directed to a shop which was a drive of 7 miles return. We had to buy our own loo paper and even our own salt and pepper. There were none of the normal ‘hospitality’ items - a few tea bags, coffee sachets, milk or anything else. Better introductory hospitality would only cost a pound or two. On day 1 the bathroom door jammed & could not be opened. The door lever/latch was not working. We spent 5 minutes crashing into the door to open it. Finally it gave way without damage. Since we could also have been locked into the bathroom, we stuffed a toothpick into the latch to keep it open until it is repaired. The availability of an adequate wifi signal was sporadic and slow. We could not use the catch-up TV and during the whole week I could only open my emails on my mobile phone. When it is working the internet speed is 29 Mbps. The property was devoid of instructions on e.g. the television or heating system, or when the rubbish is collected. There were no recommendations on local walks, shops or restaurants etc. (Tesco/Aldi in Cardigan). We like to keep a holiday let very clean, but there were no cleaning materials supplied. The good news is that following previous poor reviews the double bed mattress (firm) and the microwave have been replaced. Unfortunately when I removed the instructions from inside this new microwave in order to use it, they slipped down between the side of the fridge and the worktop. This does not prevent the microwave being used. Since the freezer compartment needs defrosting, when the fridge is turned off to do this, they can be retrieved. (Incidentally, when I logged in to the Sykes website, this property was not registered on my account, although 7 or 8 previous ones are still there).

- Keith, August 2024

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful location and found new mattress and microwave being a good addition. However, we sincerely apologise for the discomfort and inconveniences you faced during your stay. We have addressed the issue with the overflowing wheelie bin and have taken steps to ensure that it is emptied regularly in the future. We also understand the importance of having basic supplies like toilet paper and kitchen essentials, and we have now revised this to make sure we offer a good hospitality. I’m sorry to hear about the bathroom door and the Wi-Fi issues. We’ve since repaired the door and are looking into enhancing the internet service to ensure better connectivity. We will also provide clearer instructions for the television, heating system, and local services in the cottage moving forward. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We value your insights and are committed to improving the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for a much more enjoyable stay. Property Owner

“Lovely clean cottage.”

We had problems with the water system for the whole week. We would get hot water in the morning but nothing in the afternoon. Owners got a plumber out on Thursday 2 day before coming home they said nothing was wrong he changed the timer then we only got water in the afternoon hence we had several days of cold showers. Really not practical with a nine year old. Whole also love a folder with the history of the cottage and surrounding area.

- Malcolm, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the cottage, but we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the water system during your stay. We understand how uncomfortable it can be, especially with a nine-year-old, and we appreciate your patience as we worked to resolve the issue. We have since addressed the plumbing concerns and made improvements to ensure a consistent hot water supply. Additionally, your suggestion for a folder with the cottage's history and surrounding area is a wonderful idea, and we’ll make sure to implement that for future guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience. Property Owner

“Rose cottage was a wonderfully clean, well equipped holiday property.”

It is easy to nit pick but my wife, dogs and I had a great time.

“Needs double bed mattress replacing one side of mattress is very flat and has no support.”

Very uncomfortable. Microwave was very rusty so unable to use. Oven had not been cleaned and was also rusty in places. Did not use due to hygiene. Under the sink in the kitchen were dirty tea towels that where going mouldy. Also had to do some weeding and sweep patio area before use. The bench was rotting so therefore could not be used. During our stay someone did come and take the bench away.

- Philip, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback and bringing these issues to my attention. We have now replaced a mattress and a microwave for future guests to enjoy. We have also raised the cleanliness points with the cleaner and can reassure you this will be rectified for future guests. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future. Property Owner
Paul July 2024

“Booked three nights for two people at short notice.”

The property is nicely decorated, well equipped and well situated for exploring the coastline. We liked it. The double bed urgently needs a new mattress, so we slept in the two singles instead. The picnic bench on the patio has seen better days. It would be nice to change this to enable outdoor dining. Some updated instructions regarding rubbish disposal would also be helpful.

- Paul, July 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the property’s decor and location! However, I sincerely apologise you found the mattress uncomfortable and the need to replace the bench. We now have a new comfortable mattress for future guests to enjoy. The bench has also been removed to ensure guests have more pleasant outdoor experience. I also appreciate your suggestion regarding the rubbish disposal instructions; we will make sure to add those in the welcome pack for clarity. Thank you for your insights, and I hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future. Property Owner

“Cottage had not been cleaned Dirty bed linen , Dirty cups in the kitchen.”

Rubbish in bins. Dog blanket on settee. This was resolved after a few hours Double mattress is showing its age Great location and the cottage was perfect for 2 for a few days once the cleaning was sorted out

- Alistair, July 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear that that you enjoyed the location. I sincerely apologise for the cleanliness issues you encountered during your stay. It's unacceptable that the cottage wasn’t up to our usual standards, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. We have now raised these issues with our cleaner and I can reassure you that this will be rectified for future guests. Your comments regarding the mattress have also been noted, and we have now replaed with a new one it to ensure future guests have a more comfortable experience. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to welcome you back for a flawless stay in the future. Property Owner

About the location

ABERPORTH

Tresaith 1 mile; Penbryn 3 miles; Llangrannog 5.5 miles; Cardigan 7 miles; Poppit Sands 8.5 miles; New Quay 15 miles.

Aberporth is a small town that sits on the southern edge of Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion, renowned for it's fabulous beaches that attract visitors, all year round. There are two beaches that sit between the rocky headlands of Trecregyn and Fathgarreg, separated by a smaller rocky outcrop. Uniquely, at low tide they interlink, but at high tide, they create individual beaches and create great rock pools for the children to play in and explore. Small boats, canoes, and kayaks can easily be launched from the north beach, while the south beach lends itself beautifully for a spot of sunbathing. Close to the beaches, there is a small seaside café, fish and chip shop, and a friendly pub serving good food and drinks. In the village itself, there is a range of shops and takeaway stores. Nestled directly on the famous Wales Coast Path, between the towns of Cardigan in the south, and Llangrannog and New Quay to the north, it is a great base for exploring this glorious stretch of coastline. Venture to Cardigan and discover the town’s many shops, tea rooms, restaurants, pubs, and bustling markets. Visit the nearby themed farm park, spot dolphins from the coastal path, or take a boat trip for the chance to see them up close! Aberporth is a great base for exploring this wonderful part of West Wales, with something to do for all the family.
