  The property is lovely and really nice.

  Before arriving we had a damage and cleaning information pack with a hot tub disclaimer. The information pack was a little worrying as the cost of cleaning charges for pet hair and I had 2 with me. When we got to the property it was simple instruction from the email to access the property but no greeting on arrival. When we were putting food away in the freezer there was a smashed bottle which had not been cleaned up, there were a pack of Pringles on the cabinet that were out of date from July and also a plastic bottle left under the one sofa, this I was disappointed with due to the emails received about the cleaning charges. The hot tub we read through and said it’s cleaned every time someone leave and will be switched on and heated up ready. On the first night we never bothered with the hot tub due to the rain and darkness. We then went to look around 10:00 on the second day and the hot tub was cold and nothing would work it was saying pool too warm. I kept checking this by the hour and the water was cold with no change. I went to reception which was not open, I range the contact number provided on email and booklet in the love and no answer I also emailed the admin team and again no answer. I was unable to use the hot tub all weekend and this I am unhappy about as you pay extra to have a hot tub and we were unable to use. On the day of leaving the request to strip the beds and bag the sheets and towels ready for cleaners to collect was done before leaving. The hot tub had started to heat up but this was the day we were leaving. I feel we could have had more assistance to get this hot tub working and the general cleanliness wasn’t to the standard of what it seems before you attend due to the items we found, but the email makes you slightly worry before attending and taking your dogs as chargers and explained for different cleaning.

  We were very impressed with Swallow Cottage in terms of facilities, cleanliness and comfort. Warm, welcoming and we were never without. It was perfect to come back to at the end of a long, tiring wet day! The host welcomed us with a generous hospitality tray with snacks as well as drinks. Hand soap, washing liquid and laundry liquid are all provided. The tumble dryer is communal and there's a little extra charge when used, but the communal washing line can be used on dry days. The carpark is along the drive as you come in, so it's a short walk to get to the cottages but a pull-alone wagon is available for you to pile your luggage into. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans and knives that are actually sharp! There were even plastic bowls etc for the kids. The photos of the children's play area on this website don't do it justice - there's a wendy house, pirate ship, a selection of ride-on cars/tractors - all in an area safely gated away from the carpark. Probably suited up to age 5 or 6, but there's a larger climbing frame in the back garden for older ones. There's literally a shed full of toys/games for visitors to borrow, including beach toys and windbreakers. The owner lives onsite and was friendly and quickly available to help when we had questions. The location was ideal as it was only about 30mins drive to beaches and attractions either north or south Pembs, with a Tesco Extra only 5 mins drive away. We liked Tenby (larger choice of ice cream and fish/chip vendors!) And Heatherton world of activities was an excellent alternative to all the beaches. Haverfordwest itself has a castle and museum but currently closed.

  As stated in the previous two reviews, this property was not clean.

  The toilet had long black hair stuck to it and weeks of grime on the seat; the bath and floor also hadn't been cleaned. The carpets throughout had not been vacuumed and the two red chairs and settee were covered in long, cream coloured dog hairs. The beams in the large bedroom had several webbs and cellar spiders in most corners. A previous review stated the bins were overflowing upon arrival, this seems to have been rectified by not providing a bin! There was a small, dirty food waste bin on the window sill in the kitchen, but nothing provided for general waste. I called Sykes Cottages who arranged for the cleaner to return. Upon arrival the cleaner apologised and stated her partner cleaned downstairs, while she was responsible for changing the linen upstairs (clean bedding and towels were provided). The cleaner spent around 5 minutes in the bathroom then came out and asked me to inspect it; she then offered to vacuum the settee and chairs, which she did. I thanked her and told her she could go as she said she had a BBQ to attend that evening. After she left, I cleaned the bathroom and vaccumed properly, whilst my husband cleaned the kitchen sides and cupboards. It is a shame that the property is dirty because you can see that the owner has spent a lot of money on the decor and furnishings. The property is pretty and is in an ideal location for the harbour, pubs and shops. There is a steep hill to climb into the main town, which was not a problem for us as we do a lot of dog walking. When we booked the cottage at the beginning of the year, the reviews were good and it's only recent ones which are not.

  What a beautiful lodge, set within a well maintained, peaceful site.

  Cwtch Lodge 42 was very well presented, clean and better than the photos shown. The interior was very spacious and the wrap around decking was perfect for those sunnier days to relax upon with a drink. The well equipped kitchen had everything you could need, with enough room to manoeuvre around whilst cooking with plenty of cupboard space for the little extras that you bring. The bedrooms themselves were very clean, fresh and most importantly had more than enough storage for your luggage. We spent a week here but had we stayed longer there would of been ample room to accommodate the extra clothing required. At night you could hear the sea crashing in the distance. A nice little walk to the beach takes around 15 minutes depending upon your stride, the path leads you straight from the park taking you to the beautiful Wisemans Bridge beach through woodland. With a smooth walkway for those with buggies, mobility scooters or wheelchairs. There are many pathways surrounding the park to choose from with stunning scenery and plenty of fresh, clean air. The park staff were friendly and very helpful making our week more enjoyable. A special thank you to Kevin who was the contact for Cwtch Lodge 42 and was on site and answered all enquiries we had. And to Stuart who made sure we were kept informed of everything. An exceptional Lodge set within a beautiful coastline that we highly recommend to all, we have sent photos and links to this place to family and friends throughout our stay. Thanks again to Kevin and Stuart.

  We stayed at Glanduad Fawer over New Year, it was a return visit having had a short stay the previous summer.

  Yes, we liked it that much we went back there to see in the New Year. The house is in a secluded and sheltered spot down a long private drive. The surrounding land is very peaceful with a stream, mature trees and a large green open space. The property has a massive patio perfect for outdoor living - weather permitting. The house has been completely renovated to a very high standard. It has a large paneled dining room perfect for evening get togethers and a well proportioned living room with comfy sofas and a wood burner in a massive inglenook - which makes things super cosy in the winter. The bedrooms are lovely tranquil spaces, some with ensuites. I found the beds and bedding to be very comfy. Glanduad Fawer is only 10-15 minutes from Cardigan. As a big group we ordered a Click & Collect at the Tesco's for when we arrived - very convenient. There is some dramatic coastal walking and expansive sandy beaches a short drive away. There is also an Iron age village a short walk from the house. Which also has electric car charging points. What makes a stay special is often the host. Martin is a brilliant host whom has an absolute passion for the property and is incredibly welcoming. He absolutely goes above and beyond. If we don't ever go back, there are lots of places to visit in the world, we will always have very fond memories of our time at Glanduad Fawer. Genuinely a 5* review.
