Thanks to Andrea and Stuart for making our family week long stay so enjoyable. The disabled facilities and equipment you were able to provide made my 87 year old mothers stay stress free and was greatly appreciated. Will definately return without a doubt. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to spend quality time with our family.Seeing the sunrise on the last morning was a fitting end to a lovely week.

Just finishing a week at Dylans court & The Barn. We booked the 2 together for 8 adults and 2 kids.. Met on arrival by Andrea and Stuart called round later. Great people with a love for animals. Welsh cakes and wine along with some bread butter milk etc on arrival. Both houses disabled friendly and great for wheelchair use. Both Andrea and Stuart there if you need them but if not you can carry on your holiday in peace. The small holding has numerous breeds of owls along with a number of other animals... Some are roaming some not.. The animals are a passion of the family so you can interact and ask lots of questions or not totally your choice... We loved them and got to spend time with the owls and Raccoons. Please ignore any reviews on the subject of goats and dogs roaming around your cars or pets.. We had 4 dogs and 5 cars here for the week and the goats visited most mornings without touching a car and are very aware you have dogs and keep their distance. They are outstanding and so friendly.. The hottubs are fab! We have done a number of cottages and this is a first where you can top of the water yourself if needed (this is essential if you have booked a hottubs place before) and also checked and maintained and stayed perfect all week for us in both houses! The pictures don't do the place justice they have done lots of updates/upgrades and the places look fab! Will definitely be returning :) thank you for a great week

Lovely setting, very welcoming hosts, but the photos on your website of the accommodation are woefully out of date and misleading.. We thought we were in the wrong cottage.

Ms Daykinfarr, September 2020

Although advertised as disabled friendly, the shower did not have any hand rails.. When I pointed this out to the owner, he said he would immediately put some up. I found the bed very hard, and low. However the owner was very nice and helpful. The cottage was well situated, with lots of interesting animals on site. Also close to other towns to explore. We had welsh cakes and butter bread and a bottle of wine on the table when we arrived. Which was very nice. We found it very peaceful and relaxing there and would visit again in the future. The cottage was quite well fitted out, but desperately in need of new saucepans. We took our own frying pan.

Stuart and Andrea were very friendly and helpful.. Great place to stay with the family. Hot tub is a great feature especially after being out and about visiting the beaches and castles nearby. The cottage was a good size, in excellent condition. Definitely recommend.

Mr Keane, July 2020

We found the hosts Stuart and his wife lovely people they would take time to tell you anything you wanted to know.. My concern was the animal that they kept there they were kept in absolutely dirty condition there was owls to start with there wings had been clipped so they couldn’t fly all they could do was through themselves at the so called cages they were kept in which were very dirty 2 raccoons were in cages there accommodation was diabolical no clean water the smell was disgusting from the housing were they were kept all animal water bowl were so dirty they were green with algae’s and full of faeces if I would have had children with me I would not have let them near them poor animal something needs to be done about it I did not see any one cleaning them the whole week we were there I hope with us writing this review someone will go and see for themselves

The cottage was ill-equipped - no washing-up liquid or sponge, the fridge had one door pocket missing and the other broken, one bed was far too soft and the other too hard, the duvet was winter-weight so it was sweltering hot for sleeping.. The surrounding were tatty, old caravans etc opposite the cottage (a very flattering shot was shown on the website). The pens for birds were ramshackle and in some cases overgrown with weeds and the water provided for the birds was filthy. There was a polite notice asking us to leave the place as clean as we found it - it would have been easier if any cleaning materials had been provided! We left half-way through the week.

Stayed for 3 nights.Photos on website are not up to date.Animals roaming:goats with huge horns fighting right next to my car,owners dog using our garden as a toilet.... Andrea and Stuart seem to be lovely people and the farm has the potential to be great. There’s no park for the children and ground around farm is a health hazard. There are however,beautiful surroundings and it’s a good starting point for day trips in the area. Debris,builders bits & pieces,empty bottles(oil maybe),a disused rusty phone box with rotting cardboard inside),weeds about the place. Needs sorting out big time outside...

We have recently spend a week at Dylan’s court with my in-laws our 2 boys age 11 ,6 months old and our dog. I’m not a person who likes to complain or keep asking for what I’m actually paying. Both myself and my partner work in customer service and hospitality so we know how important is good customer service. I also believe that honest feedback will provide enough information to improve and better itself in the areas that needs improvement. We choose Dylan’s court as it was advertised with WiFi so my other half could work while we away, disability friendly for my in-laws and most important animals and play area for a children. I have to say that owners were very kind and friendly, cottage served purpose for our family stay and we did spend nice time together bonding, however overall experience of the cottage wasn’t as I have imagined and we all left with disappointment in our eyes. Photos on the website are not up to date, neither on Sykes or here, few items mentioned in the description were not available, play area does not exist anymore and is a health hazard with number of animal waste so my little one couldn’t even go in a swing. There was a lots of weeds and stinging nettles. As much We liked animals goats became far to friendly with our cars so my father in law was stressing that they will bump his car with their horns - don’t think that animals should have access to car park or play area. Peacock was not mentioned in a description or pictures so we had an early wake up every morning as baby was waking up. Not only that he freely visited our garden area every day stressing our dog. There was an also request that dogs should be kept on a lead yet owners dog was coming to our garden eating our dog food pooping and driving our dog crazy. Lane to the farm was overgrown and so bad that I could hear bottom of my car being scraped every time I drive through. Small touches that makes you feel like home weren’t there. We have had welcome bottle of wine, bread, butter and some welsh cakes and that was nice gesture but I would rather have a light in my bedroom, working fridge-freezer ( fridge was going off ), wardrobe that doors you can close, clean room as I found previous visitors inhaler and sweets wrapping and enough crockery to cater for my family (sleep 6 but 4 tea mugs).... It’s sad as the owners are nice people ! Kind and friendly with the heart in a right place ! area itself is amazing with stunning views, farm has got such an amazing potential and it could be small piece of heaven on earth ... with a bit of TLC and work .

Absolutely ideal for families from grandparents to young children.. My grandchildren loved being able to interact with the animals especially the donkeys and the cat. The cottage was in an ideal location to be able to visit many castles and theme parks. It was also really lovely to come back from a long day out and relax in the hot tub. The owners Stuart and Andrea were really welcoming and helpful.

Booked a week to spend with our 2 grandsons aged 3 and 5. The youngest has Perthes and my husband is disabled. Only stayed 2 nights as it was too dangerous with the sinking decking and derelict hot tub to the side. (Would have gone straight home but boys excited to see animals there). Also drain stench in wet room. Disgusted with Sykes for misleading photos on site. Stuart was verbally aggressive and very rude in front of boys because we complained to Sykes whom we booked with asking to be moved. It's a very scruffy place.

Love this place so much! Left today and have already booked for next year! Stuart and Andrea's warm welcome make this an excellent place to stay. Add in the fact that it's well presented and disabled friendly and your on to a winner. The animals and children's playground complete an amazing place. I'm already missing Fred and Eve two of the owls, the lovely goats and of course Benj dog. Location wise it has it all, beaches and castles close by.

The cottage was ideal for Mum who is disabled; everything was accessible. Mum rated it as 'perfect'. The wet room was particularly valued. Easy to explore a wealth of Welsh delights from here, which we did, without having to travel too far afield which was an added bonus. The line caught haddock at the 'local' fish and chip shop was the best we had ever tasted. A wonderful week in Wales. Thank you.
