  The cottage was very isolated and quiet.

  It was clean and mostly well equipped. Lots of plates, crockery etc and really good frying pans but no lidded bowls for microwave cooking that I could find. The welcome pack was very nice. The house was cosy and warm except for the shower room which was unheated. The double glazing was very effective. We were in touch with the owner about the heating and were happy with her response. Some safety issues not mentioned in the description or comments: The children’s bedroom door opens directly on to the stairs and the edge of the stairs cuts across the doorway. The doorframes on most of the doors are low, the bathroom door about 5’ 5”. My tall husband cracked his head on them a number of times leaving him bruised and bloodied. I check all photos and try not to select properties to rent with low ceilings or beams but didn’t spot the doorframes. The bath seemed deep and long but had no non slip mat or grab rails. The glimpses of the sea were lovely when the weather was kind. The beds were comfortable. The towels were a decent quality and we were advised to bring bath sheets if required.

  Bank House Farm is surprisingly big inside, we were 3 adults so plenty of room.

  The beds were comfortable but we found the lounge furniture uncomfortable, especially in the "tv room". We had a couple of issues that needed attention and they were dealt with very promptly by the owners. There could be a few more glasses, plates and dishes so that the dishwasher wouldn't need running everyday, definitely more than 5 teaspoons and lids that fit the saucepans! Although there is a big hall and good size utility room there wasn't an ideal place to hang wet jackets. The biggest downside was the old farm buildings very close to the house and blocking the lovely views out to sea, although they would protect the house from an on shore wind. There is a picnic bench but there doesn't seem to be an ideal position for it. Unfortunately we didn't have the weather to use it. It is in a windy spot and that together with the old farm buildings would prevent us from going back.

  A charming old Welsh farm cottage preserved in a 'period' style.

  It reminded me of my granny's home in Llanelli! That all the furniture was 'in keeping' was endearing, although the sofas are in need of a 're-foam' to restore their comfort. Delith, the owner, contacted me a few days in advance of our booking to clarify access arrangements, which was much appreciated, as was the milk, bottle of good red wine, and Welshcakes that were left for us. First question on this feedback form was: 'How likely are you to recommend us?", which, I presume relates to Sykes Holiday Cottages and NOT the property itself. I have scored this '2' only. The Sykes team was not helpful. When I was forced to amend our dates of stay, there appeared to be no way of incorporating a special offer price that had been posted in the interim as 'Computer says no.' Instead, I had to cancel and rebook, which was a pain and took numerous 'phone calls.

  We have just spent a week in this lovely, well equipped traditional cottage in the friendly village of Trefin.

  The welcome Welsh cakes & Bara Brith were delicious and a nice touch. We stayed at this cottage in Sept 2023 also and we loved our stay and the local area so much we booked again. The cottage has everything you need and was clean and comfortable throughout. The outside space has good seating and table which we enjoyed with the dry weather. There is also ample, good dining space inside. Kitchen is light and airy with plenty of equipment all in good working order. The shower is powerful and lovely after miles of walking the costal path. The stunning costal path is minutes away on foot. The Ship Inn, Trefin does good food and drink, and the staff are very friendly. We enjoyed good food also at The Sloop Inn & The Shed, Porthgain. Lots of useful info about the area in a well organised folder provided by the owner. Thank you. We will be back!! Elaine and Mark

  We had a fabulous stay.

  Like a home from home. The cottage was cosy, well furnished and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and we did light the woodburner on one evening which was lovely. Cottage is in a very friendly village with easy access to stunning coastline. The local pub did great food and drink and the staff were lovely and welcoming. We walked the coastal path following routes given in the information pack and the OS maps were very useful when out in the car. One very small minor detail, I couldn't find a hairdryer but it wasn't a problem and I will take one next time as we are definitely going back next year. We relaxed, walked for miles, visited local places and beaches, saw lots of seals in remote coves, enjoyed local food and drink and had a great time. What more could you want from a holiday. Thank you.
