Plasybangor

We absolutely loved staying here.

The house is spacious and comfortable, and the view from the living room/garden is beautiful. It’s also very peaceful and private.We’ve already booked to go back next year!

Absolutely loved this place, cosy and well equipped, great location for walks, cycle rides and exploring the coast.

This was our second stay at Plas y Bangor, and we'll be coming back again in the future.

The house is simply lovely - a tremendous view, lovely surroundings, a wonderfully 'secret' location, enough parking for 3 cars, a well-equipped kitchen: it's got everything you could want. Plus three sofas in the sitting room - luxury!

Only one minor complaint that hot water to the taps is erratic, doesn't always work but you can always boil a kettle and the downstairs electric shower always works.

Other than that, the place is lovely, warm, comfortable, very well equipped and the gardens and the view is fantastic. Would definitely come again.

We loved our stay here, all the extras like binoculars, torches, leisure equipment were a bonus.

Your holiday home is so beautiful inside and out and we loved that it had that lived in feeling. It was clean and very comfortable to stay in and would highly recommend it to anyone. A few points that would have improved our stay: needs a new microwave, it takes a long time to heat anything, there was no bbq made available for use, cushions on sofa facing main window need replacing.

Fantastic place to stay, good room sizes, very peaceful with the most beautiful views, plenty of room for us all, we really enjoyed our stay, thankyou

A very pleasant cottage in a quite idyllic setting.

It is definitely somewhere we might come back to .

Another wonderful week spent at this fabulous house.

It is very well equipped with comfortable beds and a wonderful garden with gorgeous views. If you want peace and quiet with nothing but birdsong then this is the place for you. I had some very enjoyable walks around the local area in nice weather. The rear of the house faces south so you get sun in the garden all day. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We’ll be back.

A fantastic property,very quiet and relaxing,loved it,tv is probably too small but didn't watch it other than one night.

kitchen bedrooms and living area are great,shower and toilet downstairs are only downside,but we will definitely return just for the peace and quiet.thanks so much for letting us stay at your wonderful house.craig and Janet.

Amazing location, lovely cottage, very well equipped.

However, the property needs a deep clean, there were dead woodlice everywhere, including inside the kitchen cupboards. Kitchen utensils were not clean.

A Fabulous cottage, in a beautiful location and extremely peaceful.

The house is quirky, exactly as described in the details. The kitchen is very well equipped, with everything you need for home cooking. The only minor criticism was the showers performance, but it would not stop us from returning. The area is stunning with so much to see and do. We will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved this house; it has such warmth, character and brightness.

The living space is colourful and welcoming, and the huge windows display the ever-changing view - the Preseli hills glowing in the sun one moment, then obscured by cloud the next. There’s one of the best equipped kitchens of any cottage I’ve stayed in (including sharp knives and decent cooking pots). Returning after a walk in the hills or along the coast path, lighting the wood-burner and just relaxing was blissful. We were able to enjoy the night sky from the various balconies – so many stars can be seen from here on a clear night. We’d love to come back at a warmer time of year, so we can make use of the substantial outdoor space around the house.

This place is amazing, the house is warm, comfortable, rustic and full of character and charm, the gardens and views are enchanting.

I loved getting up before sunrise and sitting in the garden with my morning coffee watching the sun come up and taking in the scenery as the light changed. There is so much to do in the area if you like walking, the great outdoors and scenic views. Having seen other reviews, this place is not for you if you want pristine/level tarmac all the way to the door, a dishwasher, 5G phone signal, a 65inch TV, an immaculate modern kitchen and a power shower.... If you want to get away from it all and escape this place is definitely for you! I hope the owners don't change a thing - I loved it and hope my wife lets me come again next year! :)

A beautiful property .

Well equipped. Fantastic bird life , including some we've not seen before . Unfortunately we had to leave after only a few days due to car trouble , but would love to return . Well worth the stay .

This wonderful cottage gave us everything we needed in terms of peace and quiet which we so needed.

All I could hear was birdsong which included the Cuckoo on the Friday and Saturday. We were lucky with the weather, just the one dull day out of seven. We were so at peace that we didn’t want to leave to explore and therefore saw much less than we had planned. Never mind, we had of the best times ever. It’s a very well appointed and comfortable place and as we were only two had lots of space. I cannot fault Plasybangor in any way at all and we have booked for a week later next year to coincide with the Cuckoo’s arrival. Thank you so much for a truly super, super stay. I really cannot throw enough superlatives at it!

We thoroughly enjoy our stay, it was a lovely peaceful place, with a huge amount of wildlife.

Great for a real get away from it all . Highly recommended

This is a wonderful cottage in a wonderful location.

It’s pure magic! If you crave fresh air, wild landscape, ancient history, peace and quiet - it’s got it all.

I can't realize that we have stayed in this wonderful place.

Our family of 4 spent a week here and it was so pleasant. Thanks a lor for the beauty of the garden ! Thanks a lot for the comfort of the house ! We really appreciated all the equipments and we easily used the stove. I wrote a lot in the seat in front of the window, watching the beautiful red japonese maple. View on the Preseli Hills was different every day with wonderful autumn colors. We walked in the area and visited most of incredible places from here : Dyffryn Fernant Garden, the standing stones of Pentre Ifan (Burial Chamber), town and beaches of Newport, St Davids Cathedrale and Bishop's Palace, Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, the colorful town of Tenby, Porthgain and Castell Henllys. We found so much recommandations about what to visit in the house, thanks a lot for that ! Plas Y Bangor is a perfect place for Nature's lovers. We met squirrels, robins, wrens, blue and great tits. This first time in Wales for all of us was so pleasant. We hope we could come here again. Please, don't change anything !

This was our second stay and it was just as impressive as we remembered.

The cottage was warm and welcoming and the wine and other goodies on the table were a very pleasant surprise. The kitchen and shower room have been described by some previous guests as tired, however these are very well equiped and just add to the rustic charm. Even storm Ciaran didn't dampen our enjoyment, we watched the rain sweeping towards us across the hills from the picture windows but with the wood burner roaring away, we felt very warm and cosy. The owners have also gone to a lot of trouble to supply a wealth of information on everything from local walks and maps to attractions, places to eat and details of 100+ beaches! We can't wait to make a third visit.

Fantastic place, beautiful garden, shame we had really miserable weather all week!

Best was day we left to come home, typical.Log burner was the best one iv'e ever used, so easy to light. The drive to the house was really broken up just outside the property and being quite steep was a struggle to get my mobility vehicle to get traction as large heavy mobility scooter in the back and front wheel drive only, would not deter me from going again. A really lovely and very peaceful property. George & barbara.

PlasYBangor was a wonderful property in a wonderful area.

Sitting outside, all you could hear was the breeze in the trees, the birdsong and the insects buzzing through the lavender. We would have loved to permanently move in, it was wonderful, homely and in the prettiest of locations. I would recommend PlasYBangor to anyone wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It was so lovely that it even inspired me to start writing again.

One of the best places we have stayed.

Peace and quiet broken only by bird song. Everything we hoped for. Felt so secure we slept with the bedroom outside doors open, when the weather allowed, so woke to the morning chorus. Wonderful.

What a lovely holiday home.

A really quiet get away from it all. The bed is very comfortable. Loved sitting on the balcony in the morning waking up to the beautiful scenery. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden has multiple seating areas depending on if you would like shade or sun. Loved watching the butterfly's on the beautiful flowers. Lots of games to play.There is plenty of information on walks to do. We absolutely loved our stay.

This is one of the best holiday cottages Mr and my family have stayed in

The property is in a beautiful peaceful location, a perfect place to unwind and connect with nature.

The surrounding area stunning, a short drove from beautiful coastline. We found the house warm amd cosy, well organised and equiped. It is an antidote to clinical souless properties that are common place these days, give me quirky characterful anytime!

The property setting and location is ideal.

Although the photos are an accurate guide to a point, the reality sadly is not. The kitchen and bathrooms are very tired, I understand the rustic aim but in truth they are lacking and shabby. The downstairs bathroom is no better than a camp site facility, no power-shower and no hand towel supplied, the odour others speak of was noticeable but not a problem for us. I have no issue with a small TV as per other views or the potholes, its a rural property. Sadly this is the second property in a row that has been disappointing, so going to have to think twice about readily re booking with Sykes. Please do not take this as a spiteful review truly its not but my feedback was asked for and its truthful I welcome any dialogue to discuss

Just returned from a wonderful week at plasybangor.

I had the misfortune to come in via the Ford.... its not for the faint hearted!!! Then down the track to the cottage, again not for the faint hearted but oh my goodness it was very much worth it!! What an amazing place, the location is just stunning and the only thing you can hear is bird song and distant cows/sheep, wonderful. The cottage it's self was very cozy and had everything you could ever need. Beds were comfy and although the TV is tiny it has a great pic. Becareful of the rug in the living room, it's very slippery being on a wooden floor, I slipped so we took it up, personally I don't think it should be down. The downstairs bathroom does need updating but it does the job and again just my personal opinion. It's prone to having a very bad drain smell. All in all and if ur looking for complete isolation it's a fantastic place to stay. Would deff stay here again

We have just returned from the most fantastically relaxing holiday at Plasybangor.

The cottage was clean and will presented and very well equipped and although nothing like our Hampshire home it was easy to feel settled and "at home". The only sound we heard all week was bird song. Location was ideal for both walking the Preseli hills and the coast. At the beginning of the week I thought "the TV is a little small" - the reality was we didn't use it once..... Such was the peace of the location added to by the fabulous weather. I was a little concerned that Internet speeds would be typically Welsh (slow) but a speedtest showed in excess of 36 mbps so plenty fast enough to stream movies etc if you wished (to a tablet or laptop). The entrance track was better than I expected (after reading of bumps and potholes in other reviews) and despite my car being long and low (Jaguar XF estate) I had no issues whatsoever. Overall, a fantastic, peaceful and homely holiday cottage that I have no hesitation in recommending to all and one that we will return to.

Had a fantastic weeks stay.

The property and the position are amazing. The only two things that would make it perfect would be a dishwasher and a tumble dryer , apart from those I couldn’t fault the place .

The cottage was wonderful.

It has everything you need, I even cooked a full sunday roast in the kitchen and had everything I needed. The setting is blissfully quiet. The beds are really comfy and the upstairs bedroom with the balcony is a wonderful room to wake up in. There are walks from the door to the Iron Age Fort at Castell Henllys and Pentre Ifan. There is a lovely short circular walk into the village of Brynberian and back down a sunken lane. The views from the property over the Presilli Hills are amazing and if you walk the ridge you can see the cottage from the top. There is WiFi but TV is very small and we had no phone reception on Vodafone in the house. However, it's patchy everywhere across the area due to the hills and the mast locations, so that was sort of expected. We enjoyed the ability to leave all the normal distractions behind and enjoy each other's company in an Old Skool way! The cottage feels like a home not a holiday let. The star gazing once its dark is spectacular. An ideal location to get back to nature and appreciate just how wonderful this part of Wales is. The house is close to main link roads to Cardigan, Newport and Fishguard and all the beautiful beaches in the area. There are plenty of Pubs for great meals a short drive away. An excellent value for money holiday.

We had a fantastic time, couldn’t fault the property and was perfect for us with our family, the only issue we had was the road down to the property (when you come off the Main road) there were lots of pot holes and parts it was very uneven, very good apart from that

This is a beautiful house with fantastic views.

We felt immediately at home and appreciated its individuality. We would highly recommend it to anyone ( despite it not being a travel lodge ) we're looking forward to our next stay.

Great cottage nicely out of the way with great views.

would love to stay again

We had 2 brilliant weeks here.

The house is comfortable, well equipped and clean. The setting is gorgeous , very private, with a great views of the valley and hills beyond and the location between the coast and the Preselis is pretty special. The owners have provided excellent information about the area including lots of walks which was much appreciated. We definitely plan to stay again.

I have already sent you feedback on this, this was overpriced for the standard of accommodation, the patio & gardens were in a very untidy state ,patio full of weeds patio furniture broken and unuseable kitchen was in a poor state ,sofa in lounge was torn in 3 places ,sink in shower room cracked and open drain looked like something from a gentleman's urinal I could go on but £ 750.

00 for 5 nights the standard of accommodation needs to be upgraded Sykes should do an inspection as they put their name to these rentals as this is not worth that amount of money for the poor standard , please give me your feedback

The property has not been well maintained - the patio was overgrown, lawns had not been mowed and bushes on driveway scratched our car every time we went in/out.

There is a resident mouse in the property and the open drain in the downstairs bathroom was a source of numerous slugs. The property smelled damp and a damp patch was visible on one wall. The cleaning was not done to an acceptable standard (dirty door handles, sticky/ dusty kitchen shelves and broken plastic toy under sofa and edge of rug) - this was a particular concern given the current coronavirus situation, and we know the previous occupants had only just left (we chose the remote location to bring elderly/ poorly relatives who have been sheltering.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Well equipped and beautiful views from the main bedroom and sitting room. Surrounding fields and woods added to the excitement with plenty of areas to explore. I could quite happily live there year round! Wildlife was amazing from red kites and herons, to foxes, bats, dragonflies and moths. Close to Cardigan (about 10 miles), a great farm shop/petrol station only a couple of miles away and some beautiful beaches, Pembroke Castle less than an hour away, an Iron Age village a few ministers drive (with an amazing coffee shop for lunch) and some great walks on the Preselli hills. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful when we contacted them. We didn’t spend much time indoors, cooking outside most nights on the fire pit the owner has created adjacent to the cottage. Very friendly neighbours (and their puppies!).
