The peace and quiet is great and the views are amazing. Its was great waking up to the sounds of sheep and cows. The cottage itself is perfect. Its a home from home and comes equipped with everything you need right down to the open fire for the country cottage feel sitting in front of the fireplace. The owners are great. They live next door and are always on hand if you need anything or have any issues and nothing is any trouble for them to sort out. Will def book again and revisit

It is so well equipped that I don't feel the description does the cottage justice. The property felt warm and homely and was spotlessly clean. My only issue was the garden being separate from the actual house, and I don't remember seeing that advertised. This was an issue for one of my dogs, who might run off, so I had to walk him across to the garden on a lead, which was a bit of a pain when he needed a wee at 6am.

Whenever I go to a Sykes cottage, I usually take the basics because some can be lacking, but not Tangaer as everything was supplied. Couldn't fault it.
