What our customers say about their holidays

• Ann - Verified booking

  We arrived early at the property due to a problem with our car.

  The chap cleaning the house invited us to stay on the drive whilst we waited for the AA. We were still waiting for assistance when the house cleaning was completed and the same chap told us to go into the house and was most helpful in showing us where everything was. We have had a great holiday and would say that the house is basic with a few extras. Good points: clean beds, clean towels, utility room with dehumidifier. Nice welcoming touches -tea, coffee, milk cake, hot tub, juke box, great sized garden, plenty of crockery & cutlery, good dishwasher, good range of sleeping arrangements, plenty of parking space and a lovely clean barbecue. Areas we felt could have been better: Kitchen needs rethinking - fridge too small for a family of 12, not all utensils/crockery clean. A mish-mash of utensils (3 veg peelers none of which were any good for example). No storage space for food. The house is in need of some TLC - damp walls in lounge and dining room and the handles/locks on bathroom doors need attention. The owners clearly responds to positive feedback and we can see that the house has great potential for further development. A good base for exploring Pembrokeshire and we enjoyed our stay.

  In many ways the property was excellent but there were a number of irritations and concerns.

  The key safe was not where we were told that it would be. It was on a fence post thirty metres away and the number to ring for advice was no longer the current caretaker. No new number was available. The kitchen was well equipped but there were no kitchen scissors. It was good to have two high chairs but since small children are likely to wander under the huge dining table for an adventure, it would have been helpful if the underside of that table did not have wood screws projecting down an inch or so. The stairgates were badly fitted and dangerous. It would have been helpful to know that in the field adjacent to the back garden the neighbours practiced car racing of some sort. .It made the garden an unsafe place to be whilst this was happening. There was no dishcloth or dishwasher tablets and the tea-towels that were provided appeared to be unlaundered. I would not want to try and iron the enormous tablecloth that was on the dining table but it seemed that nobody else wanted to either. It looked most unsightly. I don't mind whether you publish these comments or not. It is more important to rectify the matters.

  A large and comfortable house which easily accommodated 4 adults , 3 children and a small dog.

  Very well equipped, there was nothing lacking. The area is very nice with friendly neighbours and easy access to the beaches , walks and attractions. You need transport and some of the roads are very narrow with passing places , care is needed. Considering it's school holidays , parking at the various locations was relatively easy ( having the app helps ) . There are lovely coastal walks but these are strenuous and probably not suited to those with disabilities. St David's is lovely. The supermarkets for stocking up are all at Haverfordwest which is about 20 minutes drive. Most people seemed to be here for the watersports, our boys certainly were , without any significant problems. Investing in wetsuits is a good idea. A lovely stay , thanks to the owners for providing a comfortable and spacious home and allowing us to share it.

  DOG POO WAS FOUND ON THE REAR LAWN.

  TEA STAINS WERE FOUND ON THE DUVET. PREVIOUS RUBBISH WAS FOUND IN THE KITCHEN BIN, THE TOILET SEAT WAS LOOSE. BAGS FOR BED LINEN WERE NOT PRESENT ON LEAVING. THE TV SIGNAL WAS LOST ONE EVENING. THERE WAS NO ICE TRAY IN THE FREEZER. THE SHED AND PARASOL WERE DIRTY AND UNTIDY AND COVERED IN COBWEBS. ELECTRIC FIRE IN THE REAR LIVING ROOM TOO NOISY TO USE. THE ONE MILE WALK TO THE SHOPS IS STEEP AND NOT FOR THE ELDERLY WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. INFORMATION ON THE AWKWARD DRIVE/PARKING ISSUE WAS ONLY PROVIDED BY THE OWNER DIRECT AFTER BOOKING..THE CAR WAS SCRAPED UNDERNEATH AT THE FRONT. WE WERE TELEPHONED BY THE OWNERS WHILST DRIVING ON LEAVING WHICH WAS NOT WELCOME AND I REGARD AS A BREACH OF PRIVACY...I SEE NO REASON WHY THE OWNER SHOULD BE GIVEN THE SYKES CUSTOMERS PHONE AND EMAIL. WILL NOT USE SYKES AGAIN.

  The property was wonderful, and we all had a great time there.

  However there were some aspects we feel people should be aware of. In other properties we have stayed in a small amount of milk and tea bags are provided as a welcome pack. There was none when we arrived. The property is a long way away from any shops so unless you take your own teabags/coffee and milk you are hampered. No dishwasher tablets or dishcloth to enable you to wash up until getting to the shops the next day. If both those things were made plain on the property instructions it would be really helpful. There were lots of paint spots on floors, carpets and furniture which made the property look shabbier than it was. Two of the rooms had not been cleaned. There was a lack of property specific information (location of fuses, wifi configuration, hot tub instructions etc.). Hope this helps.
