“Sykes messed up the booking big time.”

My original booking was cancelled without reason as it was 'booked in error' and I had to pay 50% extra for this cottage which was in a location I didn't want and during the week I didn't want. It was a big compromise for us. ...

My original booking was cancelled without reason as it was 'booked in error' and I had to pay 50% extra for this cottage which was in a location I didn't want and during the week I didn't want. It was a big compromise for us. The cottage itself was dated and really needs a clear out as it was filled with lots of unnecessary things. The tv was tiny and the DVD player didn't work. There was no internet as the owner had an issue with the connection. The owner did kindly offer to refund the cost of getting a mobile internet connection (£60). The internet connection was being activated so this should have been resolved by now. The grounds were unkempt and need a little TLC to fix. For someone looking for a quaint cottage with not all the mod-cons, this will work well as it is roomy, charming and was in a nice location near a really good beach (Mwnt) but it wasn't for us and we wouldn't book again, especially at the rate we were charged. And certainly not through Sykes ever after how we were treated by them.

The property

This simple and unfussy house, the main part of which is nearly 300 years old, is tucked away along a short private lane.

The secluded grounds of about 1/2 an acre are enclosed by trees, surrounded by pasture meadows and provide a safe environment for families seeking a quiet holiday retreat.

The nearby Pembrokeshire Preseli hills provide a backdrop to the views from the upstairs bedroom windows.

Mwnt, a beautiful sandy National Trust beach, is just over a mile away, with access to superb coastal walks and many other coves and bays.

The local wildlife, including the dolphins at Cardigan Bay and a great variety of birds, butterflies and wild flowers, are a delight.

In contrast, the busy market town of Cardigan is no more than 3 miles away and just the other side of the Teifi estuary is the interesting village of St Dogmaels.

There are numerous local attractions,including the recently restored Cardigan Castle, now open to the public, yet this stretch of coast remains relatively un-commercialised.

About the location

CARDIGAN

Aberaeron 17 miles; Fishguard 22 miles; Carmarthen 30 miles; Tenby 33 miles; Aberystwyth 35 miles.

The bustling market town of Cardigan in Ceredigion is set on the River Teifi and offers an array of shops, both unique local producers and larger chain stores, as well as tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and an impressive ruined castle. Surrounding Cardigan is beautiful countryside, whilst the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline is just a few miles away. You have the opportunity to visit the Cardigan Island Farm Park, wonderful Blue Flag sandy beaches like the National Trust beach Mwnt, take a boat trip to spot dolphins and seals, or horse riding at the friendly Dyfed Riding Centre. For keen cyclists take a trip on the National Cycle Route, Number 82. The nearby Preseli Mountains offer wonderful walking and cycling, with some stunning views and an ancient stone monument. Within driving distance is the town of Carmarthen, Dylan Thomas' Boat House in Laugharne, Oakwood Theme Park, Blue Lagoon indoor waterpark, Folly Farm Zoo and the Welsh Wildlife Centre at Cilgerran, as well as an array of castles, mills and craft centres. Cardigan is an excellent base for exploring this part of Wales.

Note: One dog welcome - as there are grazing animals in the neighbouring fields.
Note: Please bring your own beach towels.
