  We arrived on a Saturday & everything was ready for us.

  The house is large, bright & clean. The kitchen has every utensil you can wish for right down to an electric whisk. There are drink glasses for all occasions & there was an ice bucket too. The bed in the main bedroom is a double not a king-size as noted in the listing, but that bed was very comfortable, so much so that we didn't miss our own. Toothbrush holders would be useful in the bathrooms. There were 2 good, strong fast hairdryers available, which aren't mentioned in the listing, so another positive. The driveway is large & there is a cut-through to the street at the rear making shops, takeaways & train station easily reachable. The street was very clean & peaceful. There is no need to recycle your rubbish. The owners pay for a great service to do that, so everything goes in the kitchen bin & then the bags go in the outside bin. All in all a great house, location to amenities works & you can walk to Saundersfoot from the house. There is a farm shop loctaed on the A478 heading towards Tenby. It sells a very wide variety of fruit & veg There were also cakes, pies, cider and other goodies. I just wish we had found it earlier and that there was something like that closer to home. If you go to Saundersfoot, then the Harbwr bar & kitchen serves a great Welsh Cawl & chips to die for. In Tenby try Ronniz's Lounge and try the steak & Eggs, just gorgeous. We had a great time, the weather let us down but all the lovely Welsh people we met made up for that.

  Do not be fooled by the initial look of the property from the outside.

  Once you enter the Smithy, you walk into a very tastefully decorated, modern home. The property is spotlessly clean and we could not believe how much space there was. I particularly loved the little sun room at the front. Emma had left a lovely little gift of Welsh Cakes, a pint of milk plus tea and coffee. Much welcomed after a long trip, and a kind personal touch. The whole property is spacious and comes with three bathrooms. Ideal for a family or, like us, a couple on our own. The photos do not do this property justice, it is so airy and fresh. There has been a good effort made in the garden, yet to mature, and some perfect seating areas for alfresco dining or just taking in the fresh air. A perfect home. Whether you just want a break away and to relax, or you want to enjoy the beautiful beaches Anglesey has to offer, this place is well located for access to roads leading to nearby villages & towns. The property is yards away from the high street, on which you can get everything you need. There are some lovely little riverside walks just down the lane, and the pretty Ceamas Harbour is just a five minute walk away. Would certainly come again.

  Daisy cottage is a very nice property however we suggest that the owners who we believe are new to holiday letting observe the following to make the property exceptional.

  1 the property sleeps 7 but accommodates only for four people both for eating and lounge comfort. we had to bring the outside table and chairs in to be able to sit 6 people for dinner. 2 The en-suite is totaly inadequate it has obviously been recently built on but it would have been more useful had another 0.5m been taken off the bedroom to allow both sensible access to the shower and a proper sized hand basin fitted.(we are speaking from experience on this) 3 There was only one set of keys to front door and as you know we lost it, which of course was not the owners fault and we appreciate the speed with which they responded however if you rent to 6 people it is impractical to believe they will all leave and return to the accommodation simultaneously. 4 Finally both electric showers were below par particularly the over bath which barely reached the temperature of the hot tub. It is a point remembering that people do not want to go and stay in less comfort than they have at home.. otherwise they would buy a caravan or go camping We think this could be a much more desirable holiday let.

  Not all the details of this property on Sykes website were correct.

  It was advertised as having a king sized bed (5ft) when in fact it was only a basic double (4'6"). Had we known this we would have never have booked it. Because the bed was not up to standard, I had to spend the week - our holiday - in a separate bedroom in a single bed. Unless you are a fan of 100% polyester bedding I suggest you take your own duvet covers and pillow cases as these make for very uncomfortably warm nights. We have contacted the owner about the above who blamed Sykes for any error on the bed size, stating he didn't know what size it was. A welcome pack consisted of a packet of welsh cakes and a pint of milk. The milk was past its use by date before we arrived ! The cleanliness in the 2 bathrooms ie the plugs in the sinks and the bathroom shower screen seal needed attention(as advised to owner). It is important that Sykes make clear for all future bookings, including those already made, that the main bed is only a 4'6" double and not a king size as currently incorrectly advertised.

  The Property itself is fine, very alike the photos.

  Facility is good. But, when we arrive, there are more than 50 + dead flies everywhere on the floor, we need to clean them by ourselves. not only ground floor, also 1st floor bathroom & hallway. We have contacted the owner/ management, they delivered us a fly killer spray. We used it before we left for dinner. After we come back, even more dead flies since its worked. We need clean up again, we keep cleaning dead flies in these 3 nights, this is our only memory of the holiday. we didn't cook much inside since i afraid it will attract more flies. They explained this is country side and it is normal in this season. I know it is country side but i just didn't expect when i arrived it was that terrible. I have lots of photo but here have no space for uploading. I should not go country side in birthday trip. But, if the fly killer works, they can clean it once at least before we arrive. Since this is not a cheap price for renting this nice property.
