What a great cottage. We have had a great week. Dawn is very friendly and helpful and the cottage was very clean and tidy. It had every thing you could need for a weeks break. It is in a quiet location and very handy for visiting many places. I would recommend it to anyone who asked.

A beautifully designed and built cottage in a fantastically rural setting. Close to The bustling city of Swansea, the beautiful beaches of the Gower, (less than 40 mins away) Yet it is set in a lovely tranquil location where one can relax if so desired. The cottage has everything one could want, cooker, fridge, freezer, dish washer, clothes washer. Wifi and televisions a most charming owner who is very helpful and the welcoming package of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, welsh cakes lots of brochures/leaflets detailing what amusements, places of interest, etc. I truly cannot fault it and would strongly recommend it for any family or couple. Will be back next year hopefully.

This is the best place in this part of Wales to stay. The bungalow caters for every need. Comfortable, spacious, clean, and everything in it is of high quality and very tastefully decorated. Dawn caters for everyone and the welcome pack including Milk is always very welcome for a cup of tea on arrival. We have visited 3 times and have loved every minute. Highly recommended

The bungalow is set in scenic countryside with views from every window.. It was very comfortable and extremely well equipped,a home from home in fact.The owner,Dawn,was very friendly and helpful and obviously goes to great effort to make the visitors feel welcome.Within easy driving distance are many places of scenic beauty and interest,plus the added bonus of a nearby Tesco supermarket! All in all a very enjoyable stay.

We booked Yr Hen FFald for the Christmas period - five adults and a 6-year old boy. Everything was spotless when we arrived, with everything that we would need for a wonderful Christmas holiday - there were ever Christmas decorations everywhere! Cooking facilities were ideal and there was plenty of space to store all our food in cupboards, a good sized refrigerator and a large freezer, plus the extra space in the utility room and garage. There were plenty of games of all sorts to entertain the 6-year old, including the pool table in the garage. The beds were comfortable and warm, there was plenty of seating in the living room and lots of space around the dining table. We don't have a dish washer at home, so it was lovely to have one to use at the cottage - saved a lot of time, of course, and much appreciated! A big 'thank you' to Dawn, our wonderful, friendly host who didin't bat en eyelid when she saw the mountain of re-cyclable things and the other refuse that we had managed to generate. We can thoroughly recommend Yr Hen Ffald for anyone who wants to stay in this beautiful part of Wales.

Mrs Coen

Beautifully renovated holiday home, it had everything we needed, in addition to thoughtful extras such as a food hamper and Christmas decorations, and provided all the comfort of our own home (if not more! ) while we visited family nearby. Will definitely be recommending the cottage to others.

The owners were very welcoming, and we especially appreciated the hamper at the start of our holiday.. A beautiful property, very modern and clean, which enabled us to have a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. We hope very much to return.

We booked the barn conversion and the bungalow together for a long weekend stay for our family. My daughter, her husband and two very young children stayed in this property and it met all their needs. The walk in shower was especially popular! My adult children went quad biking just down the road for a couple of hours which was enjoyed by all and value for money. The grandchildren and I walked down the country lane picking blackberries. The weather wasn't brilliant but the bungalow was very warm and cosy. We hope to be back.

The cottage was very clean and tidy.. It was everything exactly as described, very well presented and a lovely hamper awaited us when we arrived. Great location with easy access to the Gower, Swansea and the Brecan Beacons. Would stay again no problem and would recommend the cottage and Sykes cottages to anyone.

Miss Sharp

A lovely presented, clean and comfortable cottage with everything you needed in a home from home.. It's situated in beautiful surroundings with easy access to many attractions. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely hamper left by the owners who made you feel very welcome. We were sad to leave but look forward to coming back soon. Would highly recommend.

Lovely home-from-home accommodation with excellent facilities, which made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.. Very friendly and helpful owners. A fabulous welcome basket filled with goodies and fresh fruit awaited us on arrival and were enjoyed by all. The cottage is in a lovely rural, pastoral setting, but with excellent link roads to Swansea, Cardiff, the Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons. We particularly enjoyed visiting the National Showcaves, Pembrey Country Park, walking behind a waterfall on the Four Falls walking trail and a day in beautiful Tenby. The cottage was a great base for our holiday and we are happy to recommend it.

Mrs Collins

Yr Hen Ffald was a lovely cottage ideal for my mother as all on one level.. Super view and the owner very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area. Great accommodation and facilities.

An immaculate bungalow in a beautiful setting with a very friendly host.. A lovely welcome pack on arrival. Possibly could do with a new washing line but everything else was perfect. We visited Tenby Caldey Island, Brecon and the canal. Swansea not so good would do Cardiff next time.

Mr Ord

A fantastic week at this perfect holiday home which has met all our high expectations.. The great weather also made this a memorable and relaxing week with visits to many of the towns and points of interest. Yr Hen Ffald is the second holiday home we have had with Sykes and both have been very successful.

Wonderful and relaxing countryside break Great place to stay, clean and tidy with modern fittings, we’ve stayed here twice now and would happily stay again, it has all the comforts of your own home and it’s in a nice location.. From here it was easy for us to spend a day exploring the area, then come back and relax. It's an easy drive to the Gower Peninsular and Brecon Beacons. The garden at the side was a good size for our kids to run around in. Will definitely be recommending it to friends and family.
