  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.

  When we arrived the cottage was filthy, dog hair everywhere and used bedlinen and towels.

  We asked for help and messages showed they had been read but we got no response. It was really upsetting, especially for our children. We had to clean the bathroom and strip the beds ourselves and organise to borrow bedlinen. This isn't what we should be doing on our holiday! We weren't able to enjoy the property as described for the first 2 days, but are still waiting for any compensation. The outside bins are over-flowing, the kitchen oven, microwave and cupboards have not been cleaned at all, cushion covers all need a wash, the bath plug doesn't work and basics such as tea, salt, toilet paper weren't provided. I have never experienced anything similar in many years of visiting West Wales. I have photos evidencing all of this. I truly can't understand not apologising or providing compensation. They haven't even bothered to return the bedlinen we borrowed yet and we are expected to keep using our time to chase. We have clearly not received the service we paid for and will be pursuing the matter if required. Everyone should receive a clean, comfortable welcome to start their holiday and if problems occur they should be communicated and addressed swiftly.

  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.

  Lovely property!

  ! Perfect location and a lovely area. The property just felt like home we could have moved in. Such lovely features and the garden was so pretty and secure for our 17 month old we didn't need to worry he was going to get out or get hurt. The property was very child friendly with high chair, cot, stair gate and even nappies; they thought of everything. Just maybe a stair gate upstairs would have been helpful but wasn't too much of an issue as all the doors shut. Was great to have milk, jam and everything else for when you arrive. The owners are so lovely and couldn't do anymore for you they were so helpful. Couldn't hear any construction noise inside the property as work was going on next door and over the road. Which was amazing! The property the owners are doing up next door looks just as fabulous. Will definitely be back! Was the perfect holiday to get engaged.

  This has been our best holiday ever.

  Every picture the summary of the bungalow does not do it justice. The maintenance of the property is top notch and so are the grounds. The pool is disabled friendly it has steps and is lovely and warm. Both pool and hot tub is tested daily this gives peace of mind. There is a Sunday car boot right opposite the lane if you like car boots!!.Claire and Jamie are brilliant nothing is to much. It’s like going to far flung heaven then you leave and come back down to earth. The beaches in the are safe and dog friendly and so is the bungalow with a dog field which is secure. The towns do operate Sunday closure and half day Wednesday. There are loads of big supermarkets close by. This place is amazing and if. you want a relaxing holiday this is the place,and totally disabled friendly and a full working kitchen.
