Absolutely beautiful cottage, but the thing that makes Old Tether Barn stand out from the (many) other cottages my wife and I have stayed at us the attention to detail shown by the owners.. The cottage was immaculate, there was every possible type of utensil you could want available - and all genuinely clean - fresh flowers in the windows, complimentary toiletries available, extra logs for the fire which you could help yourself to (rather than having to ask). In short, this is the best holiday cottage we have ever used, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful Cottage in a rural location .... Beautiful Cottage in a rural location The owners have fitted it out to a very high standard They provided everything and more for their guests

The cottage was really spacious but cosy, with lovely decor and furniture.. The kitchen had everything we needed and more (including a bag of ice and a cocktail shaker!), the hosts had clearly thought of all the little things a couple might want for a romantic week away in the Welsh hills. The location was also perfect, with beautiful views and friendly sheep surrounding us. We are fussy but have no hesitations in recommending this cottage.

Mr Mcgill

Not particularly due to Sykes.. But the owners were excellent: the old Tether Barn was very clean, very homely, well equipped, and the area free from light pollution. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing holiday.

Mr Mcmanus

November 2018

This is a lovely cottage, finished to a very high standard in a wonderful, quiet location.. Ideal walks on the nearby hills as you can start straight from the front door with no need to drive. We only had a short stay so we sent the owners several emails so that we could make the most of our time, they were very helpful and recommended a fantastic local pub where we enjoyed an excellent meal. We are already looking at dates to come back and spend longer at Old Tether Barn.

Mrs Garrett

The peace and quiet in a beautiful thoughtfully well equipped and furnished home from home.. Knowing help was there if we needed it but very private to enjoy.

Mr Broad

September 2018

This cottage was truly amazing, so well equipped and clean.. My wife and I have stayed in many lovely places, but this one easily tops them all. The peace and quiet was amazing, along with the stunning scenery. They say the camera can’t lie, but on this occasion the camera cannot do justice to this lovely property and its setting. We actually met the owner, what a very lovely person felt that we had known her for years. Amazing holiday.

Mrs Smith

August 2018

The cottage was beyond our expectations and so well equipped.. It was a great base to visit all parts of Pembrokeshire and walk many segments of the coastal path.

Mrs Steen-knopper

We love the cottage and the way it is decoratedwith so much love and care! We immediately felt ourselves at home. It was also the most complete cottage we ever hired: the owners thought of everything! Then the lovely garden with all the different seatings and wonderful views. It was a dream come true.

Mr Ashgrove

The cottage was as advertised and exceeded our expectations.. It was really well presented, very well equipped; the owners had thought of everything. We arrived to wine, coffee, chocolate and even a pint of milk, which was a lovely gesture! Sue had also left extra toiletries in case we had forgotten anything. The owners live next door and are on hand if you need anything but leave you to your own devices if not. It's a stunning location, with a beautiful garden and you have all you need for a few days away or a week's holiday. Highly recommend.

Mrs Brown

The perfect holiday cottage.. Everything you want & more. All the extra touches were perfect & so unexpected. The cottage inside & out was immaculate & the views were incredible. I can’t rate this cottage highly enough

Mr De Coster

It's a overcomplted holidayhouse.. I gif it on a svale from zero to ten a fiftien. You will never find such a over completed house again.

Mr Judd

Old Tether Barn is an exceptional cottage for two: roomy, well equipped and in a wonderful peaceful countryside location with loads of outside seating possibilities..

Mr Jones

June 2018

Old Tether Barn is a beautiful, peaceful, well equipped cottage in an idyllic setting.. The owners clearly take both time and trouble to make their cottage welcoming and comfortable for guests. It is a lovely base from which to tour the whole Pembrokeshire coast as well as the stunning countryside inland. We stayed for a delightful week and it is certainly our intention to return when we can. We are happy to recommend it most highly!

Mrs Rigg

Beautiful cottage clearly lovingly restored and cared for by the owners with everything you could possibly need-and more! We loved the area-fabulous walks, stunning scenery (when the clouds lifted!). We’ll certainly be looking to return to Old Tether Barn and would highly recommend it to others.

Mrs Bradley

Home from home in a fantastic location away from the rat race.. Everything caefully thought out inside and outside cottage.

Mr Newton

April 2018

Stunning location and very well equipped cottage, much bigger than it seemed from the pictures on the website, highly recommend staying here..

Miss Jones

We would absolutely love to stay in this cottage again, next time we'll walk the Golden Road across the Preseli Hills.. We visited many different places from this cottage, including the beautiful Poppit Sands and Dinas Head. The cottage exceeded our expectations, it is tremendously well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is also spotlessly clean and the surrounding views are stunning. Thank you very much, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Miss Smith

March 2018

Old Tether Barn was, by far, the most well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage that we have stayed in.. The location is stunning and the views on a clear day are wonderful. We wholeheartedly recommend Old Tether Barn - fabulous!!!

Mrs Dix

The cottage is in an idyllic location, very peaceful and a great base to tour Pembrokeshire.. Local amenities are nearby. The cottage is home from home well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Spotless and very tasteful decor. Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes peace and tranquility. Fabulous

February 2018

The Tether Barn was wonderful.. Absolutely spotless & incredibly comfortable. The views were lovely &, because there was no light pollution, the sky at night enthralling.The owners were very kind & helpful and we had a wonderful week.

Mr Botterell

There was certainly nothing ‘old’ about this lovely cottage except the ‘old fashioned’ welcome of being treated to a home from home experience.. Just everything was taken into consideration to ensure that we had one of the best of stays. Fresh flowers and chocolates to greet us on our arrival just added to the pleasure of this break. If this is the high standard that one should expect from Sykes Cottages then I have no hesitation in recommending everyone to check them out.

Mrs Murray

This was a wonderful cottage spotlessly clean and had everything you need.. We were made to feel welcome the minute we enterd the property. Wonderful little getaway would love to return.

Mr Hext

December 2017

This cottage could easily have been a two bedroom cottage but the owners have made a spacious one bed with extra snug rooms downstairs & upstairs plus in the outside grounds there are multiple seating areas.. Lovely homely feel - well furnished, with quality ornaments, pictures - felt like a home not a rental. Exceptionally well stocked - particularly kitchen (cleaning products, pans, white goods) and lots of extras e.g. DVDs, books, games, toiletries, sewing kit.

Miss Dale

We had a great time at Old Tether Barn.. It was extremely comfortable and in a great location. The area and setting are beautiful and we really enjoyed getting away from it all for a week. And it was great coming back to the wood burning stove each evening. We also enjoyed meeting the 4 black sheep. The owners have done an amazing job in restoring this property with so much love and care and we are very grateful for everything they have done to get somewhere like this back into use after being in such a sorry state when they first took it on many years ago. Thanks again, Emma & David

November 2017

My stay at The Old Tether Barn was simply fantastic.. It was like a home from home. The barn was absolutely stunning and it was a little slice of heaven for me. The view was amazing and each morning I saw brown sheep. It was just what I needed, getting away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol and to spend some time recharging my batteries. Thank you to Sue and Rod for making my stay so comfortable.

Mr King

October 2017

Old Tether Barn has been beautifully renovated.. Secluded property with excellent views. Excellent location for discovering South and West Wales. The owners have provided everything you could possibly need for a lovely break. We really enjoyed our week away and would have no hesitation in recommending this property to other Sykes customers.

Mrs Pilgrim

September 2017

The lovely location, the peace & quiet, the excellent standard of the cottage.. It was spotless, homely & welcoming, with all the attention to detail that you require. We lived it!

Mr Garrett

The Old Tether Barn lived up to all the reviews it has received.. Spotlessly clean and with that homely touch it provided us with a home from home getaway holiday, location was perfect in every sense, peace and tranquillity at its best with the added bonus of sheep grazing just outside. Rod and Sue have done a great job transforming a run-down barn to a perfect bolt hole to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life if you need a quiet, peaceful holiday then this is the place. Highly recommended. Dave and Lynette Norfolk

Mr Mozesh

August 2017

The Old Tether Barn has been beautifully restored and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, with some thoughtful little extras.. The location and scenery is wonderful - so peaceful. A truly relaxing place to be and far more than just a 'base' for your holiday.

Mr Blower

Old Tether Barn was an extremely well presented and equipped place to stay.. It had amazing views and was extremely peaceful. It was a delight to return to after a days walking and sight-seeing. It was a brilliant location for walks on the north coast. Although the property is quite remote, access is easy and owners have taken great care to make it accessible. We look forward to another visit to this great destination.

We just so loved our stay at Old Tether Barn..This Barn has been restored with so much love and respect..We have stayed at a number of places, over the years. Old Tether Barn, is the place that we have loved the most, of all.This was our last visit, as my husband in a War Veteran. This visit was just so important to us both. When you plan a holiday, from Australia, you just hope, that it as as good, as others say..We both just wanted to make Memories..and we have done that, at the Barn. It is very private, even though the main home is close. And that is a hard thing to do. I am a country girl, and my husband is a city person..So, to get the connection, for both people, I feel, is very hard to do. But, it is done, just so well. Loved he privacy of the Barn, and the garden..The wood burner, the little nooks and crannies, and the amazing loft..There are just lovely places, that gave places for both of us, to just enjoy..together of by ourselves..Shall I mention the sheep? And the big fat bumble bees, in the garden..When you arrive, this Barn just wraps it's arms around you, and you just never want to leave..We so wanted to bring it all back to Australia. Thank you both, as we feel that both of you, have been involved in this. And the balance is stunning..Thank you for allowing us to be apart of this wonderful place..

The standard of this property is second to none and equipped really well, the location is ideal if your looking for a quiet location away from it all ! The views from the property are fabulous !

Mrs Bainbridge

The cottage was in a lovely quiet location, no noise except birds.. It was all beautifully presented and we had a very comfortable stay. Would stay there again.

Mr Ellis

June 2017

This is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.. The cottage sits in its own extensive grounds on the edge of a valley with far reaching views. The cottage is spotless and fully equipped to a very high standard and very comfortable, the bed is amazing, we both slept better than we have for a long time. It would be lovely to have had some garden loungers, but there was plenty of other comfortable garden furniture. The location is very quiet with the only the sounds of birds to be heard. It is a good place to view birds of prey hunting up and down the valley . It also had a very pretty well tended country garden.

Mr Read

What can we say, the old tether barn is a little slice of heaven.. Everything a couple could wish for. Stunning location and views and the owners have decorated the cottage beautifully. What's more they have thought of everything, cushions and blankets should you wish to sit outside and we'll appointed kitchen and a log burner all ready to go... simply wonderful

Mrs Hazelgrove

May 2017

We had never rented a holiday cottage before so did not know what to expect.. The Old Tether Barn was idyllic, exceptionally well equipped and comfortable. There were chocolates and wine to greet us with vases of fresh flowers. We could find no fault (my wife missed her internet but I counted that as a blessing!).

Mrs Ikin

Old Tether Barn is just stunning.. My Husband and I had a week there, and it was just not long enough. My husband is a Veteran, and we were making Memories, as to come this distance from Australia, is a long flight. This amazing Barn, just shows how much this lovely couple, wanted to do the right thing by this wonderful old Barn. To get the balance right is a difficult thing. The quality fittings throughout this Barn, the attention to all the small details. The wood burning stove, the little spaces, that gave both of us, a place to read, enjoy our own time. Then when we wanted time with each other, we could do that as well. A glass of wine..Sitting outside, in the little nook there, or, the table and chairs, in the warm sun..This lovely Barn, offers you all the privacy that you need. We have travelled and stayed at some lovely B&B's, but Old Tether Barn, is the one that caught our hearts. We only wish that we could have stayed so much longer. If we could come back, we would.. The care, the skill, the love and respect, that has gone into making this, a most wonderful place to stay, shows. This lovely old restored Barn, just wrapped it arms around us, and we did not want to leave...Shall we also mention the Sheep, the Garden, and the big fat Bumble Bees? Thank you both for allowing us, to have time at Old Tether Barn, it was such a wonderful gift, and we just loved it.

Mr Mcculloch

April 2017

It's hard to know where to start.. The cottage was out in the wilds, but not difficult to find. The photos of the property were accurate, but inevitably couldn't convey the cosiness inside. A picture of the view would be useful, because sometimes there is little or indication of what awaits you. At the Old Tether Barn however, the view is magnificent. Relaxing in the garden, you may lack motivation to wander! Inside the cottage, everything has been thought of. If you feel the need to moan after a week here, you're probably just that sort of person!

Mrs Clays

The Old Tether Barn is superb, for us it was the ideal getaway location.. The facilities were second to none and the quality throughout is outstanding. We just loved everything about the place. We have stayed in many self catering establishments and this has got to be one of the better ones. We would definitely be recommending it to our friends. Hopefully we will manage to book another stay at The Old Tether Barn in the future.

Miss Gough

March 2017

This place is great! In a perfect secluded location with beautiful views of rolling hills. The cottage is well situated to explore the Pembrokeshire coast national park - plenty of lovely walks, landmarks, gardens and towns to explore. Inside the house was spotless and so well equipped! The kitchen has everything you could wish for...muffin tins, lemon juicer, slow cooker...! The bathroom is lovely too and the wood burner a nice warming touch for a chilly evening. Fabulous! Cannot rate this delightful cottage highly enough. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Overall we found the cottage to be very clean, well equipped with lovely touches on your arrival. Great for a relaxing break or as a base to explore from, also ideal for all seasons with the log fire and cosy set up. Really enjoyed our three night stay. Thanks to Roy & Sue. Ade Udale.

Simply the best cottage I have ever booked. The cottage is a delight, well appointed and set in wonderful surroundings.

Mr Mellor

A beautiful barn conversion in a peaceful picturesque location, exceptional attention to detail, everything that you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable has been provided. It is extremely spacious both inside and out. The thoughtfully planned garden areas are a delight. All the hard work that the owners have put in over the years has resulted in us having the most perfect stay. Thank you.
