Steve
September 2024

“The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped in an excellent location for walking on the hills or the coast path.”

- Steve, September 2024
Pamela September 2024

“Lovely cottage, beautiful view of Dinas Head and the sea, well appointed and ideal for a couple.”

Added bonus of a dishwasher that was not mentioned on the property details, the kitchen was well equipped. Much appreciated welcome pack and the owners were very helpful giving us details where to visit and where to buy our fish and chips.

- Pamela, September 2024
Julie August 2024

“Lovely little cottage, very clean, well maintained and very tastefully furnished.”

Everything you need is provided and having the little garden to sit out in was lovely. Would love to come back again.

- Julie, August 2024
Antje August 2024

“We had the most lovely stay at the cottage.”

Yes it's small, but it did the job perfectly. It was so quiet at nighttime, we slept extremely well. The host was so friendly and helpful, and there were a few welcoming surprises to greet us. Can highly recommend!

- Antje, August 2024
Gary August 2024

“Very nice property.”

Had a nice relaxing stay. All the property literature needs updating as it all relates to COVID regulations so seems irrelevant and confusing. The shower enclosure on the bath could do with updating as it leaks whatever remedial measures are put in place. Only other observation is that it would be good to have an earlier check out time published on the Sykes website. John was very accommodating in letting us stay a little later but the Sykes website said 9am checkout with no provision to ask for it any later. Other than that - all good would defo recommend if you like hiking, beaches and being able to walk to the pub.

Gill June 2024

“A lovely, cosy and comfortable cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location.”

There are excellent views and we experienced some wonderful sunsets. A lot of attention to detail has been placed in the choice of fixtures and fittings which were all of good quality. The owners were very helpful and friendly without being intrusive. The welcome pack of wine, welsh cakes, milk etc. was much appreciated. We were able to walk from the cottage every day and do several circular walks or linear walks using the T5 bus service.

“The house had not been cleaned before we arrived there was dead insects every where.”

Behind the bed their was mouse droppings my partner and I pulled out the bed and hovered it up the beding and pillows were feather . I am an asthmatic and I am elergict to feathers. The kittchen was ill equipped freezing space too small.

- Christina, April 2024
Sue December 2023

“I had a lovely time in this home from home over Christmas, with a warm welcome from Sue, and decorations inside and out.”

The wine and cakes were much appreciated. The cottage is ideally placed for walking along the coastal path and the Preseli hills, whilst being very close to Newport with its pubs, shops and great beaches. I shall miss the sea view from the bedroom in the mornings. The garden was enclosed for Molly (the dog), but ensure gates are properly closed because of sheep wandering along the road. Highly recommended.

- Sue, December 2023

Dear Sue Thank you so much for your lovely review. You are the first guest we have had at Christmas! I do hope you'll return at either Christmas next year or at another time during the year. Spring is gorgeous here. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the holiday. Sorry to miss you before you left. Very best wishes the Davies familyor at another time in the year. Property Owner
Paul October 2023

“A delightful little cottage with gorgeous views, I would highly recommend this cottage for a quiet getaway.”

- Paul, October 2023

Dear Paul Thanks so much for your kind review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and do hope you may return in 2024! Best wishes the Davies Family Property Owner
Maureen September 2023

“Nice cottage ,very quiet,but does need a bit of loving care , don’t think it’s suitable for a dog has it’s carpet and light in colour, would be better with wood floors .”

- Maureen, September 2023

Dear Maureen Thanks for your response. We have placed a mat for muddy paws in the hallway as a result of your comments about the carpets. I don't understand your comment about loving care as we do pour oodles of loving care into its upkeep! Property Owner

Andrew June 2023

“The very nice welcome pack was much appreciated.”

The cottage was just what we needed in a nice location with good walks directly from the house or within a short drive. We can recommend a visit to the Shire horse farm which was very informative and run by friendly people. Thank you Sue for a very comfortable stay hope your arm soon heals. Mary and Andrew

- Andrew, June 2023

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you may return in 2024. Thanks too for the recommendation of the Shire Horse Farm! Best wishes the Davies Family Property Owner
Johannes Otmar April 2023

“Wir sind bereits nach 3 von 6 Übernachtungen abgereist und mussten uns für die weiteren Tage eine andere Unterkunft suchen.”

Trotz persönlicher Aufforderung an "Jon" wurde täglich vormittags und abends nur von 8-10 h die Heizung eingeschaltet, obwohl es kaum über 10 Grad Außentemperatur gab. Im Schlafzimmer war die gesamte Beleuchtung defekt. Die Gesamtwohnfläche aller 4 Räume mit Flur und steiler Treppe liegt bei etwa 38 Quadratmeter. Das Doppelbett hat nur 1,40 m Breite. Im Bad trocknen wegen fehlender Heizung die Handtücher nicht und es ist dort immer feuchtkalt. Schade um die unkomfortablen und raren Ferientage. Wir bitten daher um Rückzahlung der 3 nicht genutzten Tage. Johannes und Evelin

- Johannes Otmar, April 2023
Vivian April 2023

“A lovely property well situated just outside Newport.”

Very comfortable in a beautiful location. Everything you could need for a relaxing break.

- Vivian, April 2023
John September 2022

“Lovely peaceful cottage in rural position.”

Not overlooked, with country and sea views. Good walks from the cottage for active individuals. It was nice to have designated car parking as this is a "working" farming area with some heavy farm machinery movement during the day on the roads.

- John, September 2022
Mark September 2022

“This is a lovely cottage for 2.”

The only reason I have not given 5 stars is the difficulty with wet weather. The hallway would benefit from a hard wipeable floor instead of a cream carpet and the bathroom needs a heated towel rail to help with drying damp clothes. Otherwise it is comfortable and very good value.

- Mark, September 2022
Hannah August 2022

“We had a pretty bad experience at this property.”

On our third day of our holiday water from the bathroom leaked through the kitchen ceiling lighting wiring and we felt it would be too unsafe to stay so chose to leave early. It took us 6 months to get a refund for our stay.

- Hannah, August 2022
Sue July 2022

“This is the second time that we have stayed at this lovely cottage.”

It is perfect for a couple. The cottage has everything you would need and is beautifully decorated and furnished. It is located along a nice country road just outside the small town. The town has plenty of places to eat and a few shops. The beach is fantastic and prefect for watching sunsets. The owners are lovely and we had a nice time catching up with them. We really recommend this cottage and will go back.

- Sue, July 2022

“As mentioned in the visitors book we enjoyed our stay The location of the ...”

As mentioned in the visitors book we enjoyed our stay The location of the property was lovely but be prepared to do plenty of walking Our aim on holiday is to leave the car most of the week so getting to nearby facilities takes time especially the walk back up to Blaenpach

- Tony, June 2022
John June 2022

“Nice, well equipped cottage, 15/20 min walk from the town.”

However the advertised WiFi does not work at all and should be either improved or not listed in the description, as the mobile signal is also a little intermittent this could cause problems if you need to stay in contact with anyone.

- John, June 2022
Gill June 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Blaenpant Bach.”

It was everything that we hoped for. Everything was very welcoming - a cosy cottage, tea, coffee, milk and Welsh cakes waiting for us. There was even fresh flowers in the kitchen and a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge! We loved the cottage and it provided us with a base for walking into Newport and many lovely walks from the front door. John was a lovely host . We shall certainly be coming back.

“A lovely cottage in a quiet location with beautiful views of the coast and very comfortable and clean accomodation.”

We would certainly visit here again,

- Kathy, April 2022
Amanda April 2022

“Excellent cottage in a wonderful town.”

All the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed & relaxed.

- Amanda, April 2022
Deborah October 2021

“The description is somewhat misleading as the property is not detached but joined to the owners house.”

The lack of control of the heating was strange ( the owner controlled it). Also the wifi is no existent phone signal poor too something to bear in mind if you are dependent on your devices! Having said all that we did enjoy our stay despite the bad weather!

- Deborah, October 2021

Very pleased you enjoyed your stay in spite of bad weather. I'm sorry you felt the description of the property was misleading. The holiday cottage company is rectifying for us. Blaenpant Bach is fully separate from the adjoining house with its own entrance, parking space and small garden. The heating is not separate but we are more than happy to regulate this to visitors' needs as and when required. Thanks for your constructive feedback. Property Owner
Richard August 2021

“The minor problems we experienced were speedily and efficiently dealt with by friendly Jon.”

A label on the Shower Switch would be helpful!

- Richard, August 2021
Caren August 2021

“Lovely cosy, comfortable cottage in great location.”

Waking up to a view of the sea, Dinas Head and ponies. The cottage has everything we needed, and more. There are public footpaths close by to go up the hill behind, down into Cym Gwaun, into Newport or out to Dinas Head. We walked to bus stop to catch coastal bus to start of Pembrokeshire coastal path. No need for a car. Would love to go again.

- Caren, August 2021
Lynda July 2021

“Lovely cottage, very peaceful, wi fi bit hit and miss didn't bother us but may some people.”

- Lynda, July 2021
Sue July 2021

“We loved our stay in this gorgeous little cottage.”

It is perfect for a couples week away and is beautifully furnished throughout. The views from the sittingroom and bedroom overlook the owners garden and across fields to the coast; perfect for sunset watching. The property is perfectly situated for Newport and just a few minutes drive to Newport Sands beach, which we went to most evenings. We will definitely return.

- Sue, July 2021
Emma June 2021

“We've just spent a lovely week here and didn't want to leave.”

We were so relaxed and felt away from it all in this peaceful environment. It is walking distance to Newport Centre with pubs and cafes. So close to the coastal path and some fantastic walking routes. Walks around Parrog beach also a highlight. Enjoyed a couple of days out to Barafundle Bay and Tenby - Pembrokeshire is truly beautiful. This lovely and clean, cosy cottage we highly recommended with beautiful views and welcoming owners - the sunset in the evening from the lounge/bedroom window was beautiful. Missing it already and plan to return.

- Emma, June 2021
Sharon June 2021

“You might get woken by animals not much parking around newport centre”

Katherine September 2020

“We had a lovely week in beautiful Pembrokeshire.”

The cottage was perfect for the two of us and had the everything we needed. The complimentary tea, coffee and welsh cakes were much appreciated! The cottage is in a great location, walking distance to Newport where there are quality pubs and restaurants. Highlights were dinner and cocktails at Llys Meddyg and dinner at the Golden Lion. Brilliant for walkers as there is easy access to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and good inland walks over the hills. Fabulous holiday!

- Katherine, September 2020
Patricia September 2020

“The garden area was very small so we were disappointed there was no real area to relax in after coming back from a day out.”

The fridge freezer in the kitchen was small and very difficult to access.

- Patricia, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. The owner is sorry for any disappointment you may have felt. The garden is sufficiently large enough for a table and two chairs and guests can also relax in the cottage’s very comfortable sitting room. The area housing the fridge/freezer will be reconfigured in the near future, making access easier. Property Owner
