What our customers say about their holidays

• Ingrid - Verified booking

  We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children ( 4 year old and a 10 month old) having a two week break at the end of October - beginning of November.

  The property was perfect for us and we loved it. The converted old stone mill was spacious: with three bedrooms and upstairs toilet; a large family farmhouse style well equipped kitchen; a cute inglenook for escaping to for a quiet moment; best of all was the well furnished, very spacious hall-like sitting room. Here, the room was divided into TV/fireplace area, the other end provided board-games, shelved books/DVD selection, playpen and giant doll-house and gorgeous rocking horse with more seating. The hosts really made a great effort in providing amusements for children as well as adults. This was particularly important for the time of the year of our visit with the very changeable weather conditions. Unfortunatly the outside areas - French doors to the table and chairs in the garden was not used due to weather - but I'm sure lovely in summer and springtime. The downstairs toilet/bathroom/shower/laundry area was well appointed and the laundry dryer and washing machine well used. Heating and water etc. worked well and there was plenty of firewood provided for fire-making in the evenings. Terry and Diane ( the hosts) were in residence next door and helpful and friendly for all queries and informative on the history of the buildings. If the opportunity arises for us in the future we would certainly hire Felin Iago again and would also recommend this Sykes Cottage.

  A very good cottage that fully met our expectations and requirements.

  The cottage has all you need for your stay. Parking for the car is good. The view from the cottage, especially at sunset is excellent. The location will suit anyone wishing to visit the many attractions. Shopping in Pennygroes can be achieved by walking up the public footpath alongside the cottage. The village has a large Co-op; Spa shop; Pharmacy; community cafe; fish and chip shop; two take away food outlets; a general store and collector's shop. Staff speak both Welsh and English and welcome visitors. There is a community garden, garage for car repairs but not fuel and a police station. There are many walks to suit all people within a few minutes. Gareth, Denise and their dog Molly are all very helpful to visitors. We have family in the village and have visited for the last 16 years and have stayed in many other places. We wish we had found it before. We are looking forward to our return visit on 19th August 2023 for our second visi

  We had a wonderful week.

  All the little accessories such as tea bags, washing tablets and dishwasher tablets and more were very helpful and such a thoughtful gesture as we had forgotten dishwasher tablets. The cottage was clean and homely and spacious plus set in a beautiful quiet lane. This was our second visit snd we will definitely be back again! We visited many nearby places such as constitution hill and the steam railway taking us a lovely ride to devils bridge, we also visited the botanical gardens which gives you a free day return which was useful as we didn’t get to see everything the first time! We also visited mwnt beach which is a beautiful little cove with Sandy puddles for the children to play in. We had a lovely day in aberearon and a visit to Oakwood theme park. There was so many lovely places to visit. Would thoroughly recommend.

  Felon Lego is a very good milk conversion, giving a spacious, quirky yet homely feel to the accomodation.

  It is situated in a very peaceful area, and is perfect for those wanting a quiet getaway. The owners directions were excellent, in a very rural setting day navs aren't always the answer! The only negative for us was the lack of outside playing space for the children.What was described as an "enclosed garden" in the information is,in fact, a small patio area Anyone without children, no problem, small children used to a large garden will find it problematical. Some of the local towns, especially Aberystwyth, seem very run down, and in need of substantial investment, nothing the property owners can do about that, but it was one of the factors affecting the rating given. All in all, a lovely house, but beware , no safe outside play area for children.

  The property was well maintained and very well equipped.

  The kitchen had lots of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans and the cooker/microwave were easy to use. The double fridge was useful, but it was a surprise not to have this switched on for our arrival. Additional bedding and utensils were available, though we did not need them. Having a separate lounge and dining room was good. There was little storage space in the bedrooms, but this was not a major drawback. Overall, we really enjoyed the property. The location was great (very scenic if isolated) and the rough track up to the property was not as bad as we had feared. We would happily return to this property. A welcome pack was waiting (including eggs and bread and Welsh cakes) for us and we had no problems throughout the stay.
