What our customers say about their holidays

  Having planned to take my elderly mother from Newport, Shropshire, for a week's holiday with my sister in Abergavenny, I suddenly found myself needing to make alternative arrangements when we heard that my sister had become unwell.

  It was too short notice to book online, so I called Sykes who checked and established that my initial two choices of properties couldn't be made available in time, but the staff were very helpful, calling me back and suggesting others I could look at. My third attempt was The Old Cow Barn near Laugharne and we made the 150 mile journey that same Monday afternoon for a 5-night stay. We arrived after dark and were delighted to find this cluster of three converted barns surrounding a courtyard area beautifully illuminated with strings of colourful led lights and dancing Christmassy images projected upon the white walls of the barns. It was a jolly and welcoming sight. Upon entering the barn, we were further warmed to see a lovely lighted Christmas tree and other festive decorations - and a very nice welcome pack on the table. The furnishing is simple, cosy and well-thought out, with lots of lovely beams, a gorgeous mezzanine floor with its twin bedroom and own bathroom in addition to the two ground floor bedrooms and wet room. My other sister and brother in law joined us for three days and we all really loved this holiday home. The owners were really kind and helpful, too, and we could not fault the hospitality. We also enjoyed exploring Laugharne, as well as Tenby and Carmarthen which are within easy reach by car. We would definitely recommend Sykes and the Laugharne Barns to anyone considering a holiday in this region.

  Just returned from a lovely week in Laugharne, staying at Spring Garden cottage.

  It was a nicely presented cottage with an enclosed garden which was brilliant for our dog. It was good to be within walking distance of the estuary, Castle & Dylan Thomas Boat house. The cottage could benefit from a few additions, such as a heater in the toilet & a small corner hand basin on the left hand side of the toilet as you go in, because once you’ve used the toilet you then have to go to the bathroom next door to wash your hands, which you have already spread germs on the toilet chain, light switch & door handles. A blind on the landing would provide some privacy at night & noticed this was mentioned in a review back in March, but still not applied. I found it difficult getting up from the low settee with an dodgy knee as well as going up the stairs where the hand rail was so short, it didn’t provide support to the full length of the stairs. We have stairs at home so going up & down stairs with a dodgy knee is something I am use to, but with a longer hand rail for support. Not sure why there is a large table & 6 chairs when the cottage only sleeps 4. The beds were very comfortable & had the best nights sleep I’ve had in a long time. Enjoyed our week away.

  This is the second time I have stayed at the barn and can’t recommend it enough.

  The place is very clean and welcoming. Lovely gift basket left full of goodies to enjoy. Everything you need to enjoy your stay from fluffy towels to dishwasher tablets all supplied. Out of the way but only a short drive to all attractions and beaches. There were 7 of us and 2 dogs and loads of space to mingle around. Had a lovely birthday take away on the large farm house table. Table and chairs outside to eat out in the summer. Enclosed front garden so the dogs were safe to run around to. Will definitely be booking again later in the year. Had a high five from everyone in my family for choosing such a super place. Had no problems but knew the owners were close at hand if needed and sent a lovely message hoping we had enjoyed our stay and a safe journey home.

  Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us.

  The attention to detail made it a home from home, very welcoming including the arrival gift. It is in an ideal location close to all of Laugharne’s amenities , all a short walk away - shop for papers, pasties, etc, pubs (we can highly recommend Browns as ate there twice), tea houses for wonderful welsh cakes, including Boathouse tea rooms. Laugharne has plenty to offer, even on a wet, soggy weekend, beautiful walks, the castle and lots of attractions about Dylan Thomas. And it’s all signposted around the town so you’ll never get lost. Returning back to the cottage with a very wet dog we welcomed the thoughtful dog towel. And a huge plus was the enclosed safe garden. Thank you

  We had a wonderful stay at spring cottage.

  The garden was fantastic for our toddler and dog who loved running around and it was reassuring for us as it is fully enclosed. Only feedback would be that the freezer needs defrosting and was leaking on the floor. The house would be made even better with a more comfortable sofa too! The advert could do with updating as there were facilities we didn’t see listed for children including a booster highchair, stair gates at top and bottom, and travel cot available. We would happily come back to this property - Laugharne is beautiful and great base to explore the area. Pendine beach was particularly great as it was relatively quiet, easy to park right next to and shallow warm water!
