    “We stayed at Dalton cottage at end of October.”

    Beautiful cottage and very comfortable. Had a problem with the heating not working, got in touch with Sykes on that evening and received a message from them saying someone would ring within 20 minutes, no call came, rang the next day and they said they would get in touch with the owner, thankfully it was sorted quickly then, not like Sykes at all, always been happy with them.

    Beautiful cottage and very comfortable. Had a problem with the heating not working, got in touch with Sykes on that evening and received a message from them saying someone would ring within 20 minutes, no call came, rang the next day and they said they would get in touch with the owner, thankfully it was sorted quickly then, not like Sykes at all, always been happy with them. When we arrived there was a lovely bottle of wine and Welsh cakes that went down well. There was a black bin bag by the back door in the garden, I checked what it was and unfortunately it was full with dog poo bags (used), surely these should have been disposed of before we arrived. My daughter had to also take our 4 year old granddaughter to the hospital as she accidentally slipped off the settee and cracked her head open on the corner of the coffee table, luckily we had internet to find out where the nearest hospital was. We would ask the owner to put in place a welcome and information pack for guests, with local doctors, hospitals, vets, the day the bins should go out and places to eat etc and would be nice to have a phone number of a contact in case of emergencies i.e heating breaking etc. We don't like to complain and are definitely not complaining about the cottage it was beautiful but just needs info pack for guests and would recommend others to stay here.

    Thank you for your feedback. Firstly, I hope your granddaughter is fully recovered after her accident. We are currently working on an information pack to leave at the property, having just spent our first family weekend there. As we took on the property at the height of the season it's been difficult to know what to include, without having some experience of the cottage. We will definitely include the emergency contact details! Usually sent a few days before your stay, our welcome email contains details for emergency numbers, refuse collection and some of the lovely places to visit in the area. I’m so sorry this wasn’t received. Our cleaners have an exemplary record and will be horrified to hear unwelcome rubbish in the garden was missed. I’m not sure it’s something they would look for but will ask that the garden is checked in future. I’m glad that we could quickly organise a plumber to deal with the boiler. I believe he arrived within a few hours of the issue being reported to me. I’m so happy to hear you would recommend the cottage to others and that the property itself met your expectations. As this is a new adventure for us, we rely on your feedback to make sure everyone has the best possible experience at the cottage. Please be assured it is all taken on board and changes are in progress. Thank you again Property Owner

The property

Dalton Cottage is a beautiful cottage located in the rural village of Llansaint, close to the attractions of Kidwelly.

Boasting period features and spacious living quarters, this attractive holiday home provides a heart-warming base for families and groups of friends, with access to the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside.

Step inside and discover the beautiful kitchen/diner, equipped to a superb standard with all the essentials for a short break, including a washing machine and dishwasher, so washing is sure to come easy!

Reward yourself with a local takeaway or rustle up a hearty feast to serve at the dining table, before settling down beside the woodburning stove for a cosy night in.

For some friendly competition, challenge each other to a game of pool, or step outside and enjoy the enclosed garden, benefiting from a decked area with furniture where alfresco dining is recommended.

When the evening comes to a close, find the bedrooms upstairs; to the left of the landing rests the master with beautiful feature windows and a super-king-size, served by a gleaming en-suite bathroom, whilst to the right there is a king-size and bunk room with double and single bed, ideal for younger guests.
