  The location is stunning, off the beaten track and peaceful with beautiful walks nearby.

  The cottage is nicely presented, decorated tastefully and well equipped. The owner is lovely and left us a lovely welcome gift which was absolutely delicious. You can park directly outside the cottage which is great when you are loading/unloading luggage. Although there isnt a secure garden i didnt worry about letting my dogs outside to go to the loo as the cottage is at the end of the lane so no cars whizzing about and the lane is safe to give your dogs a quick walk when needed. Small improvements could be made to make the cottage absolutely perfect, there is a lot of noise from the adjoining cottage which cant really be helped as there is nothing to deaden the sound due to the wooden floors. Due to this it didnt feel very private as you can hear conversations from next door. Maybe some more rugs and possibly door curtains would help? The underfloor heating is wonderful but the thermostats on the heating didnt seem to work very well and the radiator on the bedroom was "switched off" but that had no effect and the heat was absolutely suffocating. In the winter though the cottage would be very cozy. We had noticed a couple of very large flies and woodlice in the upstairs bedroom and when we stripped the bedsheets on leaving day found some dead ones inside the duvet cover which was unpleasant. The shower could do with a good clean and get rid of some black mould in places. The cottage is very old (and stunning) it is located on a farm and these things need to be born in mind as there are always going to be flies and creepy crawlies about. If the very minor things could be resolved then it will a perfect place to visit for a holiday. I hope that our review is balanced and fair as it really is a lovely place that just needs some minor tweeks to become perfect. We would definitely stay again!

  There were a number of things that disappointed us.

  Primarily we did not think it was good value for money compared to our recent stay at the red barn in Devon. Cost per head at this cottage was around £650 whereas for a similar week in Devon would have been around £500 or less. In Devon there was 2 pools, tennis court, huge outside space plus much more inside room. THis for us made Panteurig very overpriced. There were a few small things that were irritating, including having power off for a day, and being asked to take our own towels in particular. However the biggest issue was the noise from the other part of the house. There was nothing in the description which warned us that any noise made in the other part of the house would be heard. The guests in the other part of the house were late to bed and late risers whereas we are the opposite. This meant that they disturbed us in the early hours after midnight whereas we probably disturbed them at 7am. I wish we had warning of this. We would appreciate a reply on these issues. We have never had cause to complain before about Sykes but do feel this was disappointing given the cost

  Absolutely lovely property with stunning views all around.

  If you’re looking to get away from it all, then I would highly recommend staying here. The owner, Dilwyn, was a great host. Met us in the village to drive us to the property, as driving directly to it using a sat nav would take us down a difficult road. House was lovely and cosy, had everything we needed for our two day break. The owners left us some cakes and milk in the fridge, as well as other essentials such as tea bags and sugar. The wifi was very good, considering we were in such a rural location. Handy to have sky sports and netflix etc. Hot tub was great, lovely to relax in after a busy day exploring. The location is very rural, but supermarkets and restaurants available within a ten min drive. As Dilwyn the host suggested, always use the sat nav to get to Henllan village first, and then to the cottage so as to avoid the very narrow road. House was spotless, and would definitely return next time we have a few days off. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Dilwyn for everything, much appreciated. Andreas, Michelle and kids

  The cottage was damp and cold when we arrived so we eventually asked the hosts to put the central heating on, they did straight away.

  Very noisy from the joining cottages, you can hear everything. This was advertised as pet friendly so we chose on that basis. After arriving and being in the cottage for 5 minutes the host asked me to keep the dog from jumping up at the window to look out as this could damage the sills and they wont have time to fix anything before the next visitors come in. The dog was just looking at the chickens running about. Also told me to keep the dog off the furniture and do not let it upstairs and asked where does the dog sleep etc This made us really uncomfortable from the minute we arrived and felt we were being watched throughout. This is NOT pet friendly. A very limited kitchen, they leave those tea bags and coffees that you get in a cheap BB but no milk. This was very expensive and does not reflect the cottage, the price should be halved. We will use Sykes again but will not return and will not recommend this cottage although the location is great. Thanks

  We had a brilliant weeks stay here but sadly it just wasn't long enough.

  Every last attention to detail was taken care of. There were plenty of toys provided for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter and even a nappy bin which was very useful with a 4 month old baby. Stair gates and travel cots provided also meant we didn't have to worry about accidents or bringing these items from home. Having a washer & dryer meant we didn't have mountains of washing to do at home after our holiday. The house is very clean and homely and in a perfect secluded spot, yet the coast and plenty of other attractions were very easily accessible by car. The hot tub was absolutely amazing and used every day for relaxing and star gazing in the evenings. We had a fantastic time and were spoilt by the all round views of rolling countryside. What a beautiful retreat, needless to say we have already booked for next year.
