Jacqueline September 2023

“Ash cottage was just perfect.”

We had two amazing weeks there and will definitely be returning to continue to explore this beautiful part of Wales. Les and Lesley were always on hand to check everything was OK. Our stay was home from home in the sense that the cottage was perfectly equipped and very welcoming and comfortable. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. We had a couple of wet weather days so the washing machine, tumble dryer and drying room were an additional bonus. Thank you to Les and Lesley. We agreed that our two weeks at Ash cottage was a favourite holiday and we felt relaxed and refreshed. The cottage was just perfect for us and all facilities were excellent.

“Ash cottage was absolutely amazing.”

It was like home from home, very clean, very cosy. It had the’WOW’ factor as soon as you walked through the door. The location was also amazing, could not fault it at all and will definitely be going back at some point next year. The property owners Lesley and Les were very approachable and nothing was too much trouble, and very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and best places to visit

Hi Stewart. Thank you for your kind review. Les and I are a little concerned that you marked your cottage down on comfort. It would be very useful to us to know what you found lacking. We try to think of everything and welcome constructive criticism so that we might make improvements where necessary. Property Owner
Debra October 2021

“We were warmly met by the owners who had left a lovely welcome hamper for us.”

The cottage was meticulously clean and every comfort was provided including lovely fluffy gowns! There were plenty of books and games to keep us occupied when it rained. It would be nice to have some sort of shelter and fairy lights by the hot tub so we could use it in really bad weather.

- Debra, October 2021

Jason July 2019

“We had a lovely week staying at Ash Cottage, the owners were very friendly and helpful.”

The hot tub was fantastic and just what we wanted at the end of a day walking, exploring the beaches. A garden to play with the kids was all that was missing, but the WiFi was good so that kept them happy! We found loads to do, and were blessed with excellent weather. Nearby Newcastle Emlyn is a great little town, plenty of eateries, a good antiques place and a small supermarket.

- Jason, July 2019
Megan July 2019

Allen April 2019

“We were met on our arrival at Ash cottage and were made to feel welcome right away.”

Throughout the week long stay, because the close proximity of the cottage owner's home we were usually in daily contact with them and passed the time of day discussing various topics. The cottage was clean,tidy and very warm,the addition of the welcome pack was an extra touch to make you feel more welcome, the hot tub was also nice to relax in on return from our days out and about. The whole experience because of this made the holiday more like we were staying with friends instead of owners and guests. A perfect relaxing holiday.

- Allen, April 2019

Terence August 2018

“The location and quietness surrounded by beautiful countryside, not too far from the beaches and the National Trust cliff walks Wales is a very much underrated holiday destination, but I think the public are coming to the conclusion that with its wonderful beaches, rocky coves, fantastic cliff walks, well maintained roads and cheaper rates for admission charges/tickets etc.”

that Wales is the all round hot spot for couples and families alike.

“Our cottage was beautifully presented, We were welcomed by the hosts on arrival, Les and Lesley are lovely people who made sure we had everything we needed before leaving us to enjoy our break.”

There was a welcome pack waiting for us. This contained everything we needed to get us started and was a lovely thought. We booked Ash Cottage because we wanted a hot tub and this did not disappoint. The tub was great, clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend Sykes based on the experience we just had.
