Duncan

Extremely peaceful few days with everything that we needed. Thank you.

Barbara

We can highly recommend this beautiful cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage is well maintained, and has everything you will need, in the most idyllic setting, offering comfort, peace and quiet. Lily, Marvin & Martha are an added bonus the owners dog & cats, plus all the other animals on the smallholding. The cottage is a great base if you want to visit the coast or some of the great attractions in the area. We will definitely book again.

Adrian

Second time weve stayed here, its our favourite cottage and intend staying again next year. Very pleased and cant recommend it too much.

Tracey

This property is in a peaceful and lovely setting We had an amazing, relaxing time and throughly enjoyed our stay. There was also many different places to explore in the area. We would definitely recommend this to those looking for a relaxing place to stay and Catherine was the perfect host. Thank you so much and hope to see you again. Tracey and Doug

Lesley

This was our third visit to this very comfortable, clean cottage in a peaceful rural location. We had another restful week, especially enjoying the views from the decking area. Catherine, the owner, is very friendly and Lily the 'guard' dog is even friendlier.

Trevor

A tranquil setting with a very welcoming host, the various animals that are round about adds to the experience, also quiet countryside surrounds you. If anyone needs peace and quiet away from the hustle its ideal. Would recommend outdoor clothing if wet weather is forecast, cant wait to go again. T and J B

If you want an out of the way R and R break, this is the place. So peaceful and quiet a real hidden very gem. Very comfortable accommodation and welcoming hosts. Ours was only a short break and we very much wish it could have been longer. Make sure you follow the host's arrival instructions and not your satnav! Would thoroughly recommend

Adrian

Had a lovely week,you really are in the middle of nowhere with this property so it's very quiet and relaxing. The balcony was the highlight for me,so nice to sit out and look at the beautiful countryside.Recommended.

Rhiannon

A lovely cottage, with all essentials and extras included. The owners were very kind and accommodating. We loved our time at Golwg Las!

Absolutely loved our stay. Cottage was so well equipped and very comfortable and clean. It was so peaceful and the scenery awesome. Catherine was very friendly and helpful. Lilly was such a sweet dog and spent some time with us. We will definitely go back and highly recommend.

The cottage was beautiful as was the location. It was also very well equipped with everything being catered for. Catherine was very welcoming and a wander around the property with the animals was a delight. A special mention for Lilly, the dog, who always greeted you with a bark and a very waggly tail.

Outstanding in every way, clean, comfortable and spacious. Views from the balcony superb, and greetings from Lily the superdog were charming. Cannot fault it in any way and would return tomorrow if we could. The best Sykes has to offer.

Frederick

Excellent cottage, the tranquility of the area surpasses our expectations.

A lovely relaxing stay. The cottage had everything we needed. Very comfortable and cosy. Loved having coffee on the deck with that view! An ideal spot to unwind. Perfect

Michelle

WOW what a fabulous cottage tucked out of the way, an ideal spot for a great Christmas break. Catherine is so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and her Welsh cakes were delicious

Perfect! We loved our stay here! Cant fault any of it!

Loved the cottage and the setting . The owner Catherine was very welcoming and had time to chat to two ' old codgers ' .We would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes to be off the beaten track.

We had a wonderful welcome and stay from Catherine and Lilly

Beautiful barn conversion, on a lovely small farm, with every need anticipated. The access to the property was challenging on first arrival, but once we found our way via the various rugged tracks and lanes, it was fine. As previous visitors have commented, if you have a low chassis vehicle, leave it at home! The property is in a remote location surrounded by stunning scenery and provides a relaxing retreat, but still accessible to the amenities and attractions of the area. Catherine was a welcoming host and the hens, geese, and Tilly the dog were great neighbours.

Pauline

We went away to have a peaceful and relaxing week, this is exactly what we got. The cottage has everything that you need and is very comfortable. The surroundings are very tranquil, there are a few animals running around chickens, geese, cats and a very lovely dog called Lily. it was a pleasure to see them every day.

A quaint cottage in rural Wales and we had a lovely time! The cottage was very well equipped, making it easy to feel right at home. The comfy bed was a delight after a day of exploring, and we loved waking up to beautiful views of the countryside. It was a bonus to have a friendly dog and even some chickens wandering around, adding to the rustic charm. However, a couple of things to note there were some ants in the room and shower, so a bit of extra care might be needed there but I imagine this was a one off and was quickly seen to. Also, be aware that the location is quite remote charmingly so! but you might want to avoid taking an older car down the narrow lanes leading to the cottage and around the area in general. All in all, a great spot for a peaceful retreat if youre prepared for a bit of adventure!

Myself and my partner had the most wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Being in that location did us the world of good. We did some great walks also took the bikes out. The barn is beautiful and super comfy and had everything we needed. Catherine was a fantastic host and we loved being around the animals. Were booking again for December! Thank you for having us!

We had a wonderful week stay, the cottage is beautiful and has everything you could need. Unfortunately we didn't have the weather to use the balcony much but the view was lovely. I personally loved having the animals near by. The welcome pack is very thoughtful eggs were delicious The only thing to note and this is not a negative is the road to the property is very narrow and rough so if you want to come in a fancy low sports car you will struggle. Overall we would definitely return.

A beautiful setting. So quiet. Loved the garden and plants.

Patricia

Had a great relaxed week. Lovely well equipped cottage and Catherine the owner is friendly and helpful.

Graham

A beautiful cottage, away from the madding crowd! ! The owner and her dog were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for remote, this is the cottage to choose.

Saskia

What an incredible location. Catherine and Lily could not have made me feel more welcome. Thank you!

Warm, comfortable and wellequipped cottage in a lovely quiet & scenic location

Nicola

Had a very relaxing week at the cottage. Lovely to meet Catherine & Lily and also the ducks & geese. Beautifully quiet, cottage had everything we needed and was very cosy. Welcome pack was much appreciated!

Kirsty

Lovely cottage. Well maintained and with everything we needed. Very quiet location with chickens, ducks and geese. Owner, Catherine, lives in the main house on site and was an amazing host. Left us alone to enjoy our holiday but was always there if we needed anything.

Philip

The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. Catherine is a brilliant host. The location is just as described, which is just what we wanted.

Lesley

Had a great week here, very comfortable, clean cottage in peaceful surroundings. Friendly owner and nice essentials pack on arrival. Lovely place to relax and watch the world go by, and the antics of the farmyard ducks and geese keep you amused. Local area is very picturesque with lots of places to visit.

Comfy cottage with all you would require

Amanda

Really clean well equipped cottage. Everything you need. Peace and quiet nothing but the sound of the birds, animals and the wind in the trees. Great welcome pack. Would recommend.

Darren

What a wonderful place to stay. Such a friendly comfortable place that was so peaceful especially for nature lovers. It was great to meet all the pets from Lilly the dog, the cats, ducks, chickens, geese and Guinea fowl. Many thanks for the lovely fresh goose, duck and chicken eggs, butter and cider. We would highly recommend a stay here and we plan to come back. Also we recommend visits to The Big Pit, Botanic Gardens and Picton Castle and If you like walking, pop in to Abergorlech for a walk up and through the forest where there are three walks from easy to more challenging.

Andrew

If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, then this is the place to be! The cottage is tastefully furnished and extremely well equipped. We received a wonderful welcome from the owner and her dog Lily, and the freshly laid eggs were delicious! The view from the decking at the rear of the property is stunning and also offers the opportunity to watch the red kites and the Redstart nesting next door. We absolutely loved it and we will definitely be going again.

Gloria

Brilliant cottage in a pretty setting. Catherine is a great host and Lily the dog is delightful, Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Lovely quiet place to stay . My only comment would be a bit more local walking information would be helpful.

Fantastic cottage and what a place to stay and get away from every day lifeeverything you need and want is there. .....
