August 2024

“The property was very comfortable, lovely area, comfortable bed owners very helpful and solved problems quickly.”

Would have liked some logs in basket and fire hadn't been cleaned out , bath panel not fixed but other than that perfect break and would love to return.

Angela August 2024

“Lovely cosy cottage, gorgeous bedroom.”

Comfortable. Ground clearance on driveway a problem for low vehicles, in some parts. WiFi intermittent combined with poor mobile signal made planning trips tricky. Take maps! Lovely area, lots to see and do.

- Angela, August 2024

We agree with you about wi fi and mobile signal - we live in hope of it gradually improving - on the positive it does make it a relaxing holiday! - Property Owner
Sabine July 2024

“Wonderful and very remote place with lots of space.”

Perfect place for children with all the farm animals and the big playground. There is a problem with the hot water. The owner fixed it on the first or second day,but two days later it was cold again. We could have called him,but we didn’t.

- Sabine, July 2024
Pranab June 2024

“Great stay in a lovely cottage, only recommendations will be to arrange a proper hand shower as the water flow from the current one is very weak and even though jacuzzi was nice it isn't practical when you want a quick shower.”

And wifi signal was very poor and spotty. Some wifi extenders should do the trick. But overall lovely stay.

- Pranab, June 2024

Thanks for your feedback - the two suggestions you made are great - however living in the country water pressure is not what you get in towns and villages sadly the same for wi fi - we just hope one day we will get fibre! Property Owner
Linda June 2024

“Enjoyed our holiday at Stable cottage.”

Very comfortable and well equipped rural retreat to return to after exploring Pembrokeshire coastline. Friendly owners nearby to answer any questions. Lovely garden and woods for our dog to explore.Thankyou.

Andrew August 2023

“We found the cottage just right for us and our dog.”

Plenty of places to walk the dog. We had a small leak in the toilet and it was fixed really quickly. A great secluded location.

- Andrew, August 2023

Thanks many apologies re the leak - these things do happen, the plumber is great turning up quickly if ever we have a problem at home or in the cottage! It’s a great location for 4 legs as well as 2 glad you enjoyed your holiday Property Owner
Sam July 2023

“A very pretty, airy, and comfortable little cottage, in a lovely peaceful setting - the adjoining accommodation would be ideal for families with young children.”

Caveat however that both WiFi and mobile network access are difficult/impossible - don’t count on taking work with you (surely a good thing…!).

- Sam, July 2023

Sadly we have to agree with you about the wi fi etc - we live in hope of getting an improved service eventually - so pleased you had a great holiday! Property Owner
David July 2023

“Wi-Fi was poor and the shower wasn’t the best but other than that the cottage was nice and cosy.”

Very quiet and relaxing. Perfect for a relaxing getaway

- David, July 2023

Thanks - we completely agree about the broadband - sadly it’s not brilliant but it is the best we can get in rural areas,, same applies to water pressure - the joys of living in the countryside!, as you say peaceful and relaxing! Property Owner
Ruth May 2023

“Amazingly quiet and comfortable.”

Our hosts, Rachel and Hugh were helpful and friendly. Easy access to wonderful coastline with spectacular cliff walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our week - thank you.

- Ruth, May 2023

Lovely to meet you - delighted you enjoyed yourselves Property Owner
Kerry July 2022

“A very comfortable cottage.”

Ideally situated for the northern Pembrokeshire coast. Would stay there again.

- Kerry, July 2022

Thank you for your comments- So pleased you enjoyed its a lovely area to explore- not quite as busy as the south of the county. Property Owner
Anthony May 2022

“Very nice cottage set in a remote area.”

Plenty of peace and quiet.the roads are great fun to drive on, just room for one car and passing places.

- Anthony, May 2022

Lovely to meet you - it is peaceful here, like you so many of our guests really enjoy it after the hustle and bustle of life . Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Jane April 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at stable cottage.”

The facilities were good and the location was lovely. The owners were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the small gym. We have no complaints at all - it was lovely and very relaxing. A couple of helpful suggestions: - we think you should invest in a proper shower - the one provided did not work! This would save you money on bath usage. - some more cutlery would be useful - the numbers have worn off the oven so you have to guess how to use it. - there was no working corkscrew but the owners lent us one These are small issues and not complaints, but might be helpful for the future One comment for Sykes Cottages. While on our holiday we kept getting emails telling us that the cost of stable cottage had been cut dramatically for everyone visiting from now on - apart from us, of course, who were paying full price! This was rather disconcerting!

- Jane, April 2022

Thank you for your comments - apologies about the corkscrew we seem to through lots of them! Just so you know the shower is only a hand held over the bath - water pressure in the countryside and limited ceiling height restrct options. Property Owner
Lara March 2022

“Lovely stay!”

The property is beautiful, rustic and well decorated, in a stunning location, perfect for a couple in need to disconnect from the busy daily life! The fireplace gives a very cosy touch. Local villages and beaches are at a very quick driving distance. The property owner was very lovely and checked on us everyday to make sure all was going well. I have nothing negative to say, definitively recommend!!

- Lara, March 2022

Thank you so much for such positive feedback - we’re pleased you appreciated the peace and quiet and enjoyed a lovely holiday Property Owner
Annette February 2022

“The cottage was lovely, very homely.”

We enjoyed the fact that because of the time of year the other cottages were empty. Being able to walk in the surrounding fields with the dog was a real plus. The hob was somewhat annoying, it actually turned off whilst we were cooking. The washer/drier was a handy extra but be aware it takes hours over 4 with the drying mode. Despite these tiny whinges it certainly is a sweet cottage for a couple & their dog.

- Annette, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback - it’s good to know you enjoyed yourselves. It’s great you were able to use the fields for the dog, great exercise and fun for a pet. Property Owner
Daphne December 2021

“We stayed over Christmas and were made very welcome by the owners who had decorated the cottage with Festive touches , including a Christmas Tree ,wine and homemade fudge ,were thoughtful and much appreciated ‘gifts’ .”

- Daphne, December 2021

Delighted you enjoyed yourselves and had a lovely peaceful Christmas holiday it’s a great way to enjoy a relaxed stress free holiday. Property Owner
James October 2021

“Lovely peaceful week.”

Lovely people. Lovely cottage. Will come again. Thanks.

- James, October 2021

Lovely to meet you - delighted you enjoyed a lovely holiday Property Owner
Chris September 2021

“Very comfortable, full of character and well equipped, with plenty of space both inside and out.”

The only slight problem was the lack of figures on the cooker controls - we had to manage by guesswork.

- Chris, September 2021

Thanks for your feedback we have a little guide for guests using the hob -especially as it’s an induction hob which not everyone is familiar with -so pleased you had a great holiday Property Owner
Brian September 2021

“We had a really lovely stay, the owners were lovely and a stunning surprise awaited us at their sunflower maze, it was gorgeous.”

Stable cottage was very comfortable but there are a few things that would have helped, Firstly, an instruction note on how to use an induction hob (I'm from the dark ages!), and all the markings on the oven dial were missing so maybe some instruction on which dial is which would help. The shower was very, very weak but the bath for me was a luxury as we don't have one at home. If you're used to power showers you will be disappointed. Personally I found the bed a little hard so a topper of some sort would have been more comfortable, but that is purely down to personal choice. Altogether we had a lovely stay although we left a day early due to very bad weather.

- Brian, September 2021

Glad you enjoyed your holiday - thanks for the feedback we have now included better instructions re the induction hob. Sadly we can’t do a lot about the water pressure - it’s not the same in rural locations as towns and villages. Property Owner
Darryl August 2021

“We have just arrived back from our stay at The Stable Cottage.”

Hugh & Rachel were lovely hosts, very friendly, non intrusive but were at hand if you needed them. The cottage was spacious, clean and well equipped for all our cooking needs. It was located in an ideal location for us, rural, peaceful, whilst only being a short distance from all the amenities in Cardigan. Two beautiful beaches only 4 miles in either direction, ideal for dog walking and many stunning coastal walks. If you get the chance visit Rachel's & Hugh's sunflower fields with its amazing views and sunsets. Also if you go out the door on a clear dark night you will be amazed at how many stars you will see. We will certainly be booking again.

- Darryl, August 2021

Fabulous- we enjoyed meeting you - so pleased you enjoyed yourselves. Property Owner
Sarah August 2021

“The cottage owners made us feel very welcome.”

The cottage was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We loved the location and local area. Beautiful scenery and sea views.

- Sarah, August 2021

It’s lovely to hear you had a great holiday - the area has a lot to offer, and although Stable cottage is rural it doesn’t take long to get to different places. Property Owner
Heather June 2021

“Lovely cottage, just 2 miles from the beautiful coastal path.”

- Heather, June 2021

Thanks for your feedback - as you say just 2 miles to the coast path and the coastal bus service which goes back a fro on the coast road is a great service for walkers . Property Owner
Peter David May 2021

“It’s in a lovely peaceful and secluded location.”

Very enjoyable week away.

- Peter David, May 2021

So pleased you appreciate the peaceful rural location. Property Owner
Glen May 2021

“The property was quite remote and we did not use the suggested directions for arrival as they did not seem very direct.”

We did use that route later but part of it (the bumpy hill) is possibly impassible for cars with low clearance. The most direct route into the farm is not part of the suggested directions, probably because the final few yards would be unsuitable for cars with low clearance. The kitchen and bathroom areas were a little tired. The cooker was difficult to use because the dial markings had worn away. The seal around the front door was partially perished which made it draughty in the strong winds experienced during much of our stay. The site was kept very tidy and there was plenty of room for children to explore.

- Glen, May 2021
Maureen April 2021

“It was great - just as expected - no complaints.”

- Maureen, April 2021
Aj September 2020

“The cottage was immaculate on arrival and Rachel and Hugh were wonderful hosts taking delivery of the post, it was my birthday, and even rustling up an unexpected gift.”

The facilities were excellent meaning we could easily settle into our routine, work in the morning, walk in the afternoon, home for supper, and were able to make an excellent Sunday roast (chicken from the Newport butchers). Terrific meal at Llys Meddyg on my actual birthday. Will be back like a shot, as soon as schedules allow. Thank you.

- Aj, September 2020

Delighted to Meet you - so pleased you had a well deserved holiday Property Owner
Geraldine August 2020

“Stable cottage is situated in a beautiful, peaceful location.”

Perfect for two people and our dog. Very comfortable, the owners extremely friendly and welcoming onto their working farm. Excellent base from which to discover the delights of the Pembrokeshire Coast path and the hills behind. All the facilities at the cottage were very good. Just a couple of observations. We really like an induction hob, but not all the pans were compatible. The jacuzzi bath was great, but the shower attachment at one end and the shower curtain at the other was difficult to manoeuvre. We would definitely visit again and would certainly recommend it. Thank you for a much needed, most enjoyable stay.

- Geraldine, August 2020

Sorry about the induction hob - you are not the only people to have a few hiccups with the hob - if you’re not used to the induction extra instructions are left for guests now. So pleased to had an enjoyable holiday. Property Owner
Louise August 2020

“The cottage was beautiful and lived up to the details when booking.”

The location was perfect, so tranquil. The hosts were welcoming and always had time to say hello. The cottage was so well equipped , everything you could possibly need was available.

- Louise, August 2020

Thanks for your positive feedback - glad you enjoyed Property Owner

- Melanie, August 2020

So pleased you enjoyed - it would be lovely to see you again Property Owner
