  We stayed at Glynderi for a week in early June '23.

  This was our first time staying in this part of Pembrokeshire. On arrival, the property was spotlessly clean and tidy. Internally, it is spacious and is well equipped with everything we could want. The decor throughout is bright and sea-sidey and very much in-keeping with the area. The bed (front room) was very comfortable; the bathroom has been modernised and is clean and attractive. The lounge area and dining room were perfectly presentable and comfortable and, again, both spacious. The kitchen had good space with every appliance and piece of equipment we could want. Again, spotlessly clean and a credit to the owners. Perhaps, in due course, thought could be given to updating some of the kitchen equipment and facilities, but nonetheless, we found everything to our satisfaction. The off-kitchen utility area and separate WC is a great asset to the property with good provision for recycling waste materials - a great example for others to follow! Externally, the back garden is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy a meal. Being south facing and with no tall buildings or trees in the way, the garden enjoys the sun all day. We were very fortunate to have great weather all week, so all meals bar one that we had in Glynderi were eaten outside. It is a quiet area, neighbours were friendly, and it is within easy walk of three pubs. The most local pub, being the Pen-y-bryn Arms was excellent. A nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer and great food at a reasonable price. Well done to them. There's plenty to do and see locally: in Cilgerran; at the Nature Reserve and further afield in both coastal and inland areas. We were not stuck for somewhere to visit. All together a really good holiday for us and the accommodation at Gynderi was excellent. We would gladly return there. Our thanks to the owners for their contribution to making our holiday an enjoyable and memorable one.

  The one good thing about this property is that the garden is far more enclosed than expected.

  So the dogs could be watched but didn't have to be kept on a lead all the time. However that is where the good things stopped. The property is very damp, as a family member suffers from asthma we considered going home early but having travelled six hours to the cottage decided to stay for the majority of our booking. To minimize the problem we had to keep the windows fully open night and day whenever we were in, which unfortunately meant the VERY loud road noise woke us early every morning as the cottage is maybe thirty feet from the roadside. Also the advertised Sky TV is no longer connected, the satellite dish is hanging off the wall and you are limited to Free-sat - but because the wifi is so slow that it is practically non existent, there is no means to stream any TV shows. You have to watch live or not bother. I too ran a speed test which came back as 25 Kbps maximum ie 0.02Mbps which reminded me of the early 90's. We would have brought a DVD player with us had we known, as Amazon Prime or Netflix or any of the terrestrial catch up channels just wouldn't work. We eventually used our mobile phone as a, "hot spot" to be able to check emails but as we don't have unlimited data that was about it. As the sofa has no cushioning whatsoever and needs to be replaced you wouldn't want to sit too long anyway, it is like sitting on a church pew. We did contact Sykes and sent them a photograph of the black mould on the, (unnecessary) bathroom curtains but have never had the courtesy of even a reply. Lovely area and we are back in December but we won't stay at Panteg again.

  We loved the house due to its location and view.

  The listing was accurate in terms of the decor - it does need quite a bit of updating. But because it was listed as such it did not concern us. The bathroom was clearly quite new and very well done. If the owners update the rest of the house to that standard then it will be lovely. The kitchen was okay, with everything required, but again needs updating. There were only two of us for this stay, and I would have thought this would be quite small for 6 people. If it were me I would punch through the two front bedrooms into one and have a large 'grand' bedroom with an amazing view. The smell of oil took some getting used to, but I guess that is normal for that kind of heating? There is plenty of parking - probably 3 or 4 cars in its own drive area, so no worries about that. The beach is a 30-second walk away and the pub is about 60 seconds (!). The pub has great food and is really worth a visit if you are not up for cooking. If you are a dog owner you can take your dog in. You are able to walk the coast paths north or south right from the house. All-in-all a relaxing stay, and exactly what we expected.

  Lovely house which was exceptionally clean.

  Ideal location in Cardigan - less than a minute to walk to the nearest cafes and shops. There is street parking outside which is handy for arrival and departure but the swimming pool car park was very useful as you can buy a weekly pass (£14.60 not £10.50 as listed in the description but still a bargain!) and there were always plenty of spaces. The swimming pool has closed down. Plenty of storage in the kitchen. Lots of things supplied by the owner should you need to borrow anything you've forgotten eg beach towels, picnic blanket, reading glasses. Lounge and dining area comfy but possibly a little small for our family of 5 (3 adults and 2 older teenagers). Sofa and armchair extremely comfy but the last one there missed out and had to sit on the bench seat (on the photos it looks like a sofa but it isn't) Bathroom on first floor a good size but no lock on the door. Bedrooms on this level were cosy but all had good storage and were very comfortable. Large bedroom on the top floor also comfortable. Lots of clean, attractive decor in all rooms which made the property even more homely and attractive.

  Really enjoyed our time at Glynderi.

  It was really easy to find, instructions were perfect and we soon made ourselves at home. The living room was huge and had a lovely feel to it, a really well equipped kitchen that has every appliance you will ever need, that was perfect for breakfasts and family evening meals. Really good bathroom but could be more disabled friendly especially as it’s such a lovely bungalow. We loved the garden, a good size and well looked after, unfortunately it wasn’t fully enclosed as our dog got out a couple of times when the neighbourhood cat paid a visit, it really needs a small gate at the side. The area was very quiet and just a really restful place to visit, Cardigan bay is really close by and so easy to get to.. less than 10 minutes on one of the days, For our dog, we went to Poppit sands for its beach adventures and it was so easy to get to from here, Overall.. we really enjoyed our stay.. and would love to stay again if we go down this way again. Keep up the good work.
