Dawn
November 2024

“The cottage had a lovely cozy & welcoming atmosphere, we went the first week of December and it was nicely decorated for Christmas.”

The welcome basket was a lovely touch. The owner Dawn was very helpful, we got stuck in traffic and later then expected to arrive, she was on hand to take in our Tesco delivery and put it away for us. The kitchen had everything you could need. We would definitely stay again

Shamema August 2024

“The cottage is bueatiful with everything you need and in working condition.”

The only thing that bothered me was that the floors were not cleaned well to a good standard. The first thing we did was hoovered up. It needs a good mop. Otherwise everything was fine and once we did what was needed we really enjoyed our stay.

- Shamema, August 2024

Deborah June 2024

“We are just back from our holiday at Dawn and Brian’s beautiful cottage.”

I’ve used Sykes for a number of years and this cottage does feel like a home from home. Such kindness and care for their guests. A very generous welcome basket which is a lovely touch. The village is central for getting out and about round this part of Wales. We have teenagers and the pool table in the garage was a great idea for keeping them off their phones and talking to each other. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back. Thank you Dawn and Brian for such a wonderful place to spend time together in. Highly recommend.

- Deborah, June 2024

We have stayed here many times and will definitely be back. We have bern as a couple and with our two grandsons. They loved it thete as very comfortable beds ,has a pool table, bow and arrow set and could ride thier electric scooters there. Our hosts were amazing, no request small or large was turned down and thier knowledge of the area really helped. Very convenient area for camarthen, Ammonford, Swansea, llandilo, llandebie and many more places. Very warm welcome every time we have visited both at the Barn , thier other place or this one. Very high standard of cleaning and beautiful presented. Beds are very comfortable and views are amazing.

The location is good for exploring this part of wales. A lovely place to come back to after days out. We would highly recommend. What’s not to like 10/10

Natasha October 2023

“An absolutely wonderful, fantastic, amazing cottage with beautiful views all around.”

Dawn, our host had left a lovely welcome hamper of goodies, which was just what we needed after a long stressful day on our arrival day. The cottage is by far the best I've ever been in. All furnishings were a very high standard. There was everything you could need, dishwasher tablets, cloths, condiments, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There were even some bath salts, bath cubes and antibacterial hand wash. Perfect for guests with limited mobility as it is all on one level. There are chairs in both the back and front gardens, so you can relax and take in the view. Highly recommended and would definitely return. If you're looking for a day trip out, I'd recommend a Dolphin spotting trip at Cardigan Bay.

- Natasha, October 2023
Tina August 2023

“We had a wonderful week.”

The cottage is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and situated in a very quiet location. The welcome pack was a thoughtful add extra ( and much enjoyed). Dawn made herself available and nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely stay again if visiting South Wales and have already recommended it to family and friends.

- Tina, August 2023

“Cottage was like home from home, fully equipped, clean and high quality throughout.”

Owner (Dawn) friendly and helpful, great welcome pack. Stunning views, lovely location and good local pubs all within 10 minute drive. Plenty to see and do nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here.

- Andrew, June 2023
David June 2023

“One of the best holiday lets we have ever stayed at.”

recently refurbished to a very high standard. Generous welcome pack. Guestbook indicates several people have stayed here multiple times, and I can understand why. Convenient for Welsh Botanical garden and the bird of prey centre there. The Fountain Inn at Pontarddulais is a great place for a meal. Very quiet location. Adequate & reliable speed on internet. Beds are comfortable. If we ever holiday in this area again this would be our first choice of accommodation.

- David, June 2023
Alan May 2023

Kenneth September 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at this comfortable and well appointed single storey accommodation.”

Situated in a rural location (car essential) it proved a good centre for exploring the wider Swansea area including the Gower, the Botanical Gardens and the Wetlands Centre. The welcome pack was so useful with the nearest store located a few miles away. We enjoyed meeting the owner who was very friendly and helpful with our questions.

- Kenneth, September 2022

- Elizabeth, August 2022
Donna July 2022

“We’ve used holiday cottages for years and I think this was our favourite for overall quality of fittings and provisions.”

The beds were extremely comfortable and everything felt nice quality. We really enjoyed the addition of a pool table and had some lovely family fun in the garage. I really liked that Dawn was on hand and just a text away for queries. She text to let us know the property was ready early which was lovely. Zero complaints from us! Thank you guys

- Donna, July 2022
Radhika May 2022

“Dawn is such a genuine, warm and kind person who made us feel very welcome into this property.”

She was very helpful with her knowledge of the local area. The property itself is very comfortable, we really enjoyed the special extras of the welcome back and luxury bath items. The cows in the background along with the rolling hills added to the rural tranquil. This is a gem of a property, location which is very clearly supported by all the love and effort from Dawn and her family. We will definitely return next time.

- Radhika, May 2022
Louise April 2022

“Fantastic holiday cottage.”

The owner was very helpful and everything needed was provided. The cottage was very clean and a pleasure to stay in . Quiet garden to relax in at the end of the day. Lovely welcome pack even included Easter eggs. We had a great holiday and would certainly book this cottage again. I recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a home from home experience and a brilliant location to visit the Gower and Brecon Beacons.

- Louise, April 2022
Gareth March 2022

Pauline March 2022

We felt at home from the start and Dawn the owner is lovely, wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for the basket of treats and all the thoughtful touches.

Muhammad February 2022

“Very nice and big cottage, clean, tidy, comfortable, has a lot of facilities, quite area, friendly owner with very good hospitality.”

Wonderful area and not too far from the sea or the waterfalls. Definitely I recommended this cottage and I will come back to it again.

Margaret December 2021

“We stayed at Yr Hen Ffald over the Christmas break, originally booking for 7 nights, which we increased to 12, then further to 16 nights as we just couldn't tear ourselves away!”

From the moment we stepped in through the front door and met our host, Dawn, we could feel the warmth and welcome of this very special home. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, very spacious, and above all else, sparkling clean. The cupboards were filled with everything you could possibly need during your stay from clean towels and bedding, to having all the kitchen utensils you'd have in your own home. You're also guaranteed a good night's sleep in your tranquil surroundings; despite only being a stone's throw from the M4 there is no traffic noise whatsoever, you're just surrounded by lush green fields where mornings are welcomed with the most beautiful sunrises and the days close with sunsets befitting of oil paintings (should you of course be lucky with the weather). There was a beautiful welcome basket on arrival piled high with goodies and being Christmastime, every room had been tastefully decorated, oozing festive charm. We will definitely be booking ahead for Christmas next year with undoubtedly a good few trips in between as I'm sure it will be wonderful to experience the changing of the seasons in this stunning location. 5* go to Dawn and Brian for their hospitality; living not too far away themselves they were only too happy to help should we have needed anything, which we didn't during our stay as it was perfect, but even so it was just nice to see Dawn's smiling face now and again when she'd visit to prepare the neighbouring property, a converted barn which they also rent as a holiday let (Ysgubor Hir). There were probably three different families staying there during our stay, but there was no disturbance whatsoever and we still felt as though we were the only ones there. We cannot recommend this property highly enough! Dawn a Brian, diolch yn fawr am eich caredigrwydd. Gobeithio eich gweld chi yn fuan iawn. Mags a Paul.

- Margaret, December 2021
Zofia November 2021

Rebecca November 2021

“We cannot speak highly enough of Yr Hen Ffald!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this extremely well presented bungalow. Everything was of a high standard with such attention to detail. We loved it so much we booked again to revisit before we’d even left!

- Rebecca, November 2021
Elizabeth Susan October 2021

“Very comfortable cottage with good facilities which was lovely and warm to return to at the end of chilly November days.”

Quiet but very accessible location with wonderful views from the cottage. Helpful and welcoming owner, who called by to check all was OK. Easy to reach from the end of the M4 and excellent location for exploring this part of South Wales with easy access to Swansea and into Carmarthenshire. With family nearby, we know the area quite well but highly recommend National Botanic Garden which was new to us this visit and less than 20 minutes away. A very enjoyable and relaxing week.

- Elizabeth Susan, October 2021
James October 2021

“We stayed for a week at half term.”

The bungalow was brilliant, we couldn’t fault it. Everything had been well thought out, everything was modern, clean and fresh. The owner came to see if we had everything we wanted and was very nice and welcoming. We would highly recommend to anyone needing a peaceful location if wanting to stay away from the town which wasn’t to far away if needed supplies, would be brilliant in the summer months with all the outdoor facilities needed to barbecue and to sit comfortably in the sunshine on a very nice patio set. Lovely place..

- James, October 2021
Kim October 2021

“A very enjoyable week in this lovely bungalow.”

The facilities in the property were far exceeding any other property we have stayed at previously booked through Sykes. Dawn the owner was friendly and welcoming, leaving a lovely welcoming package of regional snacks. I would recommend anybody to stay here, as the views are stunning.

- Kim, October 2021
Talisa October 2021

“We had a brilliant time.”

Our hosts were lovely and left a nice welcome pack. The house had absolutely everything we needed - our 4 year old wanted to take the house home with us :) I would definitely recommend staying here - thank you!

- Talisa, October 2021
Hetal September 2021

“We enjoyed staying in this lovely cottage set in a very good location with fields in all directions.”

The property was clean and very modern, tastefully decorated, beds were comfortable, all the rooms were a good size and i was surprised at how well the kitchen was equipped. The added welcome basket was a lovely touch too! Dawn was very nice and helpful and popped by to ask if everything was alright. We were able to get to many places in about an hour or so from the location. We were about a little over an hour away from the Brecon Beacons. Gower, The Mumbles and Swansea were only 30 mins away and we even went as far as the Pembrokeshire coast. Tesco superstore was only 10 mins away and had plenty of choice including for those who are vegan or gluten intolerant.

- Hetal, September 2021
Wendy August 2021

“Nice cottage enjoyed our stay and excellent attentive hosts.”

Everything you need in the cottage kitchen well equipped and outside space well maintained.

- Wendy, August 2021
Paul August 2021

“Facilities and equipment were all of a high quality.”

The cottage is located in a lovely area within easy driving distance of the coast and other attractions. Plenty of room for everyone and the layout was good with a kitchen diner and separate lounge and utility room. Welcome pack with milk and food was very much appreciated and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The only improvements could be a more detailed welcome folder (eg what to do with rubbish etc and maybe some history of the building and area) and the appliance user manuals in clear view rather than in a cupboard covered with other items.

- Paul, August 2021
Evelyn July 2021

“The property was very cleaned and cared for.”

The owner made us feel very welcome, when we saw her she was very friendly. There was a welcome pack in the property and those small touches made us feel very comfortable. The property is very well set out and nicely decorated. Our children loved the mini pool table in the garage. The location is central to the Gower peninsular and Brecon Beacons, about an hour in either direction but easily doable. Locally there is a nice country park and National botanical gardens.

- Evelyn, July 2021
Lindsay July 2021

- William, September 2020
Max September 2020

“It's a well presented cottage in excellent condition with all the bits you need for a relaxing holiday.”

The owner is friendly and helpful. Do note the accurate directions given as sat nav will try and take you through a farm which is not relaxing! Nothing says 'this cant be right' like reversing 1/2 mile down very single track road and you really don't need to! Guess who tried :) The cottage is well placed to visit the area with excellent road links and has a supermarket 5 mins away. Loved it!

- Max, September 2020
Diane August 2020

“An absolute gem of a cottage.”

Perfect location for Swansea, Mumbles and Gower area but still within easy reach of Carmarthen and Pembrokeshire with Tenby only 50 minutes away. We stayed as 3 couples including elderly parents and had plenty of space with everything we could possibly need. Lovely clean spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We dined in most evenings and found the kitchen to be very well equipped with everything we needed with lots of pots, pans, utensils and gadgets to be able to cook with ease for 6 people. Wonderful welcome package with milk coffee welsh cakes, chocolate etc and a very friendly welcoming host. We will definitely be visiting again!

- Diane, August 2020

Cardiff and Tenby also not too far. The owner was very friendly and left some welcome treats to enjoy. Really enjoyed our break here.

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

Weather wasnt amazing so we spent alot of time relaxing and the cottage was perfect for that. Very peaceful area, close to local amenities.

All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Anthony December 2018

“We booked Yr Hen FFald for the Christmas period - five adults and a 6-year old boy.”

Everything was spotless when we arrived, with everything that we would need for a wonderful Christmas holiday - there were ever Christmas decorations everywhere! Cooking facilities were ideal and there was plenty of space to store all our food in cupboards, a good sized refrigerator and a large freezer, plus the extra space in the utility room and garage. There were plenty of games of all sorts to entertain the 6-year old, including the pool table in the garage. The beds were comfortable and warm, there was plenty of seating in the living room and lots of space around the dining table. We don't have a dish washer at home, so it was lovely to have one to use at the cottage - saved a lot of time, of course, and much appreciated! A big 'thank you' to Dawn, our wonderful, friendly host who didin't bat en eyelid when she saw the mountain of re-cyclable things and the other refuse that we had managed to generate. We can thoroughly recommend Yr Hen Ffald for anyone who wants to stay in this beautiful part of Wales.

- Anthony, December 2018
Elizabeth December 2018

“Beautifully renovated holiday home, it had everything we needed, in addition to thoughtful extras such as a food hamper and Christmas decorations, and provided all the comfort of our own home (if not more!”

Victoria August 2018

“Lovely home-from-home accommodation with excellent facilities, which made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.”

Very friendly and helpful owners. A fabulous welcome basket filled with goodies and fresh fruit awaited us on arrival and were enjoyed by all. The cottage is in a lovely rural, pastoral setting, but with excellent link roads to Swansea, Cardiff, the Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons. We particularly enjoyed visiting the National Showcaves, Pembrey Country Park, walking behind a waterfall on the Four Falls walking trail and a day in beautiful Tenby. The cottage was a great base for our holiday and we are happy to recommend it.

- Victoria, August 2018

“Wonderful and relaxing countryside break Great place to stay, clean and tidy with modern fittings, we’ve stayed here twice now and would happily stay again, it has all the comforts of your own home and it’s in a nice location.”

From here it was easy for us to spend a day exploring the area, then come back and relax. It's an easy drive to the Gower Peninsular and Brecon Beacons. The garden at the side was a good size for our kids to run around in. Will definitely be recommending it to friends and family.
