What our customers say about their holidays

  Having planned to take my elderly mother from Newport, Shropshire, for a week's holiday with my sister in Abergavenny, I suddenly found myself needing to make alternative arrangements when we heard that my sister had become unwell.

  It was too short notice to book online, so I called Sykes who checked and established that my initial two choices of properties couldn't be made available in time, but the staff were very helpful, calling me back and suggesting others I could look at. My third attempt was The Old Cow Barn near Laugharne and we made the 150 mile journey that same Monday afternoon for a 5-night stay. We arrived after dark and were delighted to find this cluster of three converted barns surrounding a courtyard area beautifully illuminated with strings of colourful led lights and dancing Christmassy images projected upon the white walls of the barns. It was a jolly and welcoming sight. Upon entering the barn, we were further warmed to see a lovely lighted Christmas tree and other festive decorations - and a very nice welcome pack on the table. The furnishing is simple, cosy and well-thought out, with lots of lovely beams, a gorgeous mezzanine floor with its twin bedroom and own bathroom in addition to the two ground floor bedrooms and wet room. My other sister and brother in law joined us for three days and we all really loved this holiday home. The owners were really kind and helpful, too, and we could not fault the hospitality. We also enjoyed exploring Laugharne, as well as Tenby and Carmarthen which are within easy reach by car. We would definitely recommend Sykes and the Laugharne Barns to anyone considering a holiday in this region.

  This was the best cottage we have ever rented!

  . It felt like we were the first people to ever use it as it was so clean and well maintained, the level of equipment provided was exceptional, it was a real home from home. The owners Cathy and Tony live next door and were a great source of friendly information and help at any time. The pictures on the website do not do this cottage justice, the garden alone was amazing, it was totally enclosed, large, and private. It is paradise for pet owners! The cottage is not actually in the village, it is a couple of miles outside amidst farmland and is very quiet and peaceful, it is very well located for access to all the south west wales resorts and towns which take between 30mins and 1hr 10mins to reach. It was my first visit to this area and i was impressed by the beauty and diversity of what was on offer, we will definitely return again to this property. Many thanks to Cathy and Tony for such a lovely stay!

  Just returned from a fabulous weeks stay with my son, parents, and 2 dogs.

  We were met by the owners who live in the detached property next door to collect the keys - they were lovely, friendly, and suggested some dog friendly places for us to visit. The property was amazing and deceptively spacious - I loved the tiled floors throughout as it made it so much easier to clean on rainy days. This is the best property we have stayed in, in terms of what is provided - washing machine, dryer, laundry detergent, washing up liquid, dish cloths, tea towels, hand towels in the kitchen and both toilets. And the garden is the most secure garden we've had - perfect for the dogs and my son, and a proper sun trap on the few hot days that we had. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants a quieter holiday and is happy to travel to other places for days out.

  This is the second time I have stayed at the barn and can’t recommend it enough.

  The place is very clean and welcoming. Lovely gift basket left full of goodies to enjoy. Everything you need to enjoy your stay from fluffy towels to dishwasher tablets all supplied. Out of the way but only a short drive to all attractions and beaches. There were 7 of us and 2 dogs and loads of space to mingle around. Had a lovely birthday take away on the large farm house table. Table and chairs outside to eat out in the summer. Enclosed front garden so the dogs were safe to run around to. Will definitely be booking again later in the year. Had a high five from everyone in my family for choosing such a super place. Had no problems but knew the owners were close at hand if needed and sent a lovely message hoping we had enjoyed our stay and a safe journey home.

  We have just returned from a 4 night stay and we wish we could have stayed longer.

  The property was absolutely amazing. The photos really dont do this place justice. It is spacious and has everything you need provided (even hair straighteners!). My 2 boys (aged 13 and 6) are used to staying at places that have fairgrounds or arcades on site, so I was expecting them to be bored, but they absolutely loved it. My youngest enjoyed our morning hot drinks in the garden watching the sheep chase the crows. We will definitely be returning and have already shared the property with family members. Thank you so much for the best 4 days 5 star from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Travelled from Liverpool)
