Denise April 2024

“We were met with a friendly welcome from the owners and shown into our spotlessly clean, warm and thoughtfully equipped property.”

The cottage has a large secure grass area with a lovely view across fields. The grounds are beautiful with a peaceful walk to the lake through the various trees and shrubs. The main lawns are very well maintained and to top it off having a dip in the warm pool every evening was a welcome bonus. We had a perfect and relaxing holiday here and the owners have gone above and beyond to make it that way.

Bridget September 2022

“Very Lovely stone cottage with the benefit of the use of a swimming pool.”

central to both Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage has everything you need. Wi-fi a bit hit and miss. Superb grounds surrounding the cottages and very good for dogs. Would definitely recommend this cottage for visitors for South Wales.

- Bridget, September 2022

Niki August 2022

“My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cottage and we will definitely return!”

The communication was great and the Owner and his family were very friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and the swimming pool was a great bonus and we used it every day! The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable and we sat outside every evening admiring the views. The location was very central for various trips out and several local pubs, The Plash and The Castle Inn at Llansteffan in particular, were great places to eat. We will go back!!

Jacqueline July 2022

“A well equipped lovely cottage set amoungst beautiful grounds and views.”

Owners, who are so friendly, are there and help at a drop of a hat while also leaving you to enjoy your stay. The pool was amazing, swimming while overlooking stunning landscape while watching the sun set are memories i will hold for a lifetime. The cottage was almost perfect, only issue was wobbly dining chairs. We had a wonderful holiday and none of us wanted to leave. Thank you!

- Jacqueline, July 2022

Hi Jacqueline. thank you for your lovely comment. we are really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Sandpiper Cottage. We have now replaced the dining table and chairs in the cottage. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

- Miranda, July 2022

Thank you for your comments Miranda. We are sorry to hear you found the beds hard. We have now added some chairs to the back of the cottage. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
John July 2022

“The Cottage and associated site facilities were very good, and the proprietors were very welcoming and very helpful.”

The cottage was very well equipped and very clean, there was nothing that we did not have. We throughly enjoyed our stay on the site and also the beauty and interest of the surrounding area. One point - when describing the cottage as "Sleeps 4" it should be mentioned that the 2 x Twin Beds in Sandpiper Cottage are only 2ft 6ins wide beds- and as such really only comfortable for young children. In the overall description of the location - the 2 x Pubs in the Village have now both shut - the nearest Pub/Restaurant is now around 4 miles away.

- John, July 2022

Hi John Thank you for your comments, we are really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here. In regards to the beds in the twin room we will ask Sykes to make a note of this in their description, we have also asked them to change the information regarding the pubs in the village. There is a Social Club in the village and the 'Pen y Bont' pub is 2.3miles away which also serves food. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Sandra February 2022

John November 2021

“The cottage was prepared for our arrival.”

The house was warm, the fridge and freezer were on, spotlessly clean and tea, coffee and milk sugar and a little cake each. Much appreciated on arrival.

- John, November 2021
Donna September 2021

“Warm welcome from Rob even though it was raining heavily on arrival, cottage was warm and welcoming, both Rob and Chris are great hosts and we loved their dogs.”

The grounds were great for walking around with our dogs. Bonus is the swimming pool and due to Covid regulations we had slots allocated for sole use which we loved. Great location and we will definitely return.

- Donna, September 2021
Anne May 2021

“We stayed in Sandpiper cottage from Saturday 15th.”

May We were met by Rob as we pulled into the carpark. He immediately made us feel welcome. We were very impressed by the strict Covid regulations even a hand sanitizer dispenser on the door of the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views from the back of the cottage were stunning for city dwellers like us. We were looking forward to seeing the night sky, as there is no light pollution but the clouds prevented a clear view. Wi-Fi great managed to attend a few Zoom meetings. What made the break so good is I was able to swim every day in a heated pool we were able to book a slot each day. The pool is sanitized between slots. We felt very safe. I would highly recommend the cottages for families and couples plus they are pet friendly. We look forward to returning. Anne and Pat.

- Anne, May 2021
William May 2021

“The dining chairs are quite wobbly”

- William, May 2021
Helen April 2021

“We've stayed here before and returned for another visit as it has everything we need for a staycation.”

The pool and the park area are perfect for our son and the ability to bring our dog means we can have a full family holiday. It's a beautiful, peaceful place and we plan to visit again.

- Helen, April 2021
Matthew August 2020

“Great cottage.”

The swimming pool was lovely and warm and the enclosure made it Welsh weatherproof. Many thanks to Rob for the cleaning between each private session to make it C-19 safe. The grounds are extraordinary with full acces to explore.

John July 2019

“Needs a bit of modernisation in the bath room and kitchen but it was very clean.”

The table and chairs out the back need to be replaced along with the washing line. The boys loved the pool and the freedom of the site.

- John, July 2019

“Absolutely lovely.”

Samantha May 2019

“The holiday cottage was so nice we really enjoyed our stay and will defiantly be back.”

dog friendly and the children loved the swimming pool . There was a tea tray on arrival with biscuits which was a big hit with the children. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need including information on anything we could need right down to local takeaways. Dvds, books and games were availbale too they really have thought of everything. I have already been recommending to family and friends.

- Samantha, May 2019
Tony April 2019

“From the Sykes description and photographs of Sandpiper Cottage we concluded that the accommodation was small with limited space in the bedrooms.”

This was not a problem for us and whilst the cottage was "compact" it was very cosy and comfortable. We had some cold weather but the cottage was always warm when we returned. From our point of view a shower cubicle would have been better but we were fully aware of the shower over bath and it posed no problems. Hosts were very welcoming, helpful and on hand if there were any problems but never intrusive.

- Tony, April 2019
