  The property itself offered all we hoped for in terms of accommodation and location, which was in a lovely setting close to the coast.

  Unfortunately however things didn’t get off to a good start when we arrived at the cabin to find the cleaner still busily sorting out the place from the previous occupants. He had apparently been informed he had till 4 pm to complete his task, when in fact our contract with Sykes stated we would have full access to the property from 3 pm! Having waited some 15-20 minutes for him to finish we then entered the cabin and were immediately confronted by the overwhelming odour of damp dog! Closer inspection also showed remnants of what appeared to be evidence of dog biscuit/chews scattered about the carpeted area of the lounge. Coupled with this the glass doors leading out to the decking were visibly smeared with unsightly dog slaver and paw marks. After opening all the doors and windows as wide as possible I then found the vacuum cleaner in one of the cupboards. Before switching it on however I was shocked to find it completely choked with dirt and dog hairs which rendered it useless in picking up anything at all! (Photos of this were sent to Sykes as proof) After spending several minutes emptying and cleaning it I then set about hoovering all the carpeted areas throughout the cabin, which, to my amazement, half filled the hoover back up again. Later in the afternoon following a visit to nearby New Quay in stopped to pick up some carpet deodoriser and air freshener from a local store. On our return to the cabin I then liberally sprinkled the deodoriser over the entire carpet and once again set to hoovering throughout. This process had to be repeated several times during our stay as the smell of dogs kept returning! This unpleasant situation plus the absence of any bin bags which were promised AND missing cushions from the decking furniture, which had obviously been removed prior to our arrival and were nowhere to be found, all added up to a disappointing experience on a trip we had very much been looking forward to! I understand that people are encouraged to bring their pets with them to properties of this nature, which I have no problem with at all! What I would expect however is for property owners to conduct a thorough and extensive clean after each visit, to ensure future occupants don’t have to endure a similar experience to ours!

  Fronwig is a great location with amazing views.

  For a 5 star property we expected a few more of the basics to be right though. Needs a better equipped kitchen, baking trays for cooking, chipped mugs to be replaced, kitchen roll etc. Hand towel in the downstairs toilet and handwash. The welcome pack was probably the most underwhelming we have ever had, a pint of milk, and a couple of tea bags is a small cost but always appreciated after a long journey, instead of just a bara brith cake. Be prepared to spend a few hours getting the hot tub filled and the water warm. The garden was secure for the dogs (just one section where, if your dog is inclined, by the front gate, they can get on top of the wall and out). The bedrooms are all a great size with basic furnishings. Overall it’s a beautiful spacious house, could just do with a few more home from home comforts for the price. Do take note of the house info about the parking space being tight, it certainly is if you have a big car.

  The bungalow was everything that we hoped for. If you want to stay away from it all then this is the place for you, peace and quiet, our only neighbours were the sheep and the red kite circling above, absolute bliss! The bungalow itself was comfortable and well equipped and the welsh cakes left for our arrival were a nice treat. We were still well placed to do a bit of sight seeing, visiting New Quay, Aberaeron, Kidwelly Castle, the coracle centre and Cenarth falls and the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. To sum it up .... we had a fantastic time.

  The location of the bungalow was excellent, but the pictures on booking the site did not do it justice as it was beautiful. It was very well equipped and had everything that we needed. The outdoor space was lovely and it was so quiet. Mrs Jones was a very helpful host and was at hand if we needed anything at all. Would really recommend this place and we will be planning on booking again for 2026 as we enjoyed it so much. It was so enjoyable just at times to sit in the garden, and the garden itself was really lovely.

  The cottage was very comfortable, well equipped and clean and set in a beautiful and peaceful location. Our dog especially enjoyed being able to run around in the enclosed garden. It was well positioned for visiting both coastal and inland locations and the pub in Pen-Gwyn down the road was both convenient, friendly and served delicious, very reasonably priced meals when we didn't want to cook. The milk and Welsh cakes were a welcome touch and the cottage had pretty much everything we required for our stay.
