Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"My partner and myself were highly impressed with the lodge!"
Ample parking and nicely secluded from other places we have been to! The lodge itself was extremely well setup with appliances and things to help with cleaning and cooking etc. Very well looked after and noted on various things to do and keeping it maintained. Richard was fantastic, keeping in touch to see how we were doing and answering any questions and concerns! An incredibly nice setup for anyone looking for a quiet getaway! Highly recommended, Richard and Vanessa have outdone themselves on this one! Many thanks indeed! Tallon
Thank you for your kind words. So pleased you enjoyed it, please visit us again! R

"The property is located in a beautiful quiet location, not far from the local shops."
A short drive to Tenby for arcades which we loved. The property was clean and had all you needed to enjoy our stay. Just needed more cupboard space for food storage and hot tub stopped working as only used it twice as was cold and wouldn't heat up.
We enjoyed meeting Robert the robin and meeting the naughty squirrel who kept nicking the robins food.
Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are sorry about the hot tub but found it in sleep mode on the changeover. Unfortunately it is quite easy to change the mode accidentally when pressing the light button immediately after the temperature button. This is not a lockable feature. We are available on WhatsApp for any issues encountered.

"Wanted for nothing."
All facilities were up to standard. Quiet and peaceful.
Enjoyed our stay.
Owner contacted us which gave us the opportunity to seek help if needed.
Wasn’t sure about the hot tub which we didn’t need or use. Maybe should have been advised to switch off if not using - save energy.
Many thanks
Dear Howard. Thank you so much for your feedback and for leaving the lodge spotless on departure.

"Last year we booked No4 Hornbeam lodge."
This year we booked No1 and we were so glad we did.
The hot tub is more secluded and private, there is an additional option for outside seating. The lodge itself feels much more homely.
The small details make a large difference. Sykes cottages state that you may need to bring tea towels, soap etc. Not in this case. The owners kindly left everything you need for a relaxing stay. There was even a bottle of milk in the fridge! What a lovely welcome.
The lodge was very clean, tidy and very well equipped. Would definitely book this again.
Dear Steve, really appreciate your feedback and your promise to return!

The hot tub was great for the end of the day, although we found it a little hot,( ours at home is 4 deg cooler). Overall a pleasant albeit damp stay. Weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t deter us from looking around the area.

It was a fabulous stay. All really homley and all of the little extras including milk coffee and welshcakes on arrival were very much appreciated. Communication from the owners was great. The town of narbeth is a short walk away with lots of little shops bars and restaurants. We also enjoyed oakwood and wild lakes both a short drive away. I would highly recommend a stay here. I will certainly rebook
Thankkyou both.

"I am a professional, middle aged, well travelled individual, and have much experience of hot tubs."
Whilst the lodge itself was pleasant and clean, unfortunately I came home a day early with appalling Hot Tub Rash, diagnosed by both a qualified Minor Injuires Nurse AND my GP, and have been placed on high dose, of strong antibiotics (Docycyline and Fucidin cream ) for a week. When I complained, I have been told Sykes Cottages take no responsibility and offer no good will gesture as this is a Health and Safety issue, and the owner wil be informed and take it from there. I have heard absolutely nothing, and am unable to get through to anyone in spite of sending photographs etc. SHOCKING! Hot tub rash occurs because of DIRTY WATER and POOR HYGIENE, and a lack of chlorine and chemical balance in the water. To add insult to injury, the Hot tub is actually out of use on the last day, as allegedly the water is changed and cleaned. Given my rash was developing, we left a day early, unsure of the exact cause at the time. Noone expects to pay a premium for a Hot Tub and have this experience. I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU THINK TWICE ABOUT BOOKING WITH SYKES COTTAGES AND THIS PROPERTY, AS THERE IS NO COMEBACK WHEN UNFIT FOR PURPOSE. APPARENTLY AN OWNER HAS TO ADMIT FAULT, AND THE POLICY OF THIS LODGE IS TO IGNORE YOU. DISGUSTING. SEE PHOTOS. I HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE STATE FOR A WEEK. SYKES ALSO CHOOSE TO IGNORE ME AFTER THEIR INTIAL RESPONSE THAT IT IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE, THUS CANNOT OFFER A GOODWILL GESTURE. AGAIN DISGUSTING. SEE PHOTOGRAPHS, AND DECIDE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WISH TO RISK. WE WILL NEVER USE EITHER SERVICE AGAIN.
Dear Lizzie, this a very unfortunate thing to have happened but please do not rush to judgments about our hot tub care. We have the tub emptied and replenished after every guest by an experienced technician who checks the chemical balance and makes the necessary adjustments. He sends us the photograph on each occasion showing the water clarity. Cleaning needs to happen on the Thursday because he services 10 other tubs on Friday and it simply cannot fit into his schedule. After running this tub for nearly two years now we have had no other complaints. Our contact number is included in the guest information and we did not hear from you during your stay. Sykes position is that it is up to the owner to deal with the case, rightly so, but we would rather have spoken to you at the time than receive this barrage of upper case feedback. Our position is that the water was clean. We sincerely hope that you have made a speedy recovery.
Regards, Richard and Vanessa.

"This lodge is actually a nice property."
However, there were several elements that resulted in our stay being less than satisfactory. The lodge itself had some things that did not seem to have been maintained properly. The plug on the bath broke after our first use, making the bath unusable. Whilst the owners did contact us about this, nothing was actually done. The taps on the sink in the bathroom were tight and using these resulted in unscrewing elements of the tap and slight dripping. The door handle on the en-suite is missing screws and came off. The oven door would not stay open meaning that cooking was hazardous as it required two of us to remove any item and even then, the door kept swinging shut. This resulted in our being unwilling to subsequently use this. The TV remote does not correspond with the symbols thereon which meant that we had to contact reception to find out how to get subtitles up. The hot tub is lovely in itself, however, we were unable to use this on the final evening as it had been refilled for the next clients and was not at temperature. This information was stated in the welcome book in the property but we did not know this before we arrived. We have stayed in several properties with hot tubs before, including two at Herons Brook, and this has never been an issue in the past. It is disappointing to book a property with this facility, only to find that it is not avaiable for one of the nights. This should be made clear on the listing for the property. Some of these points may seem trivial but the combination meant that our stay was not the excellent experience we have been used to in the past. We feel somewhat let down and are now reluctant to book again.
Dear Denise, we strive to maintain a high standard of accommodation so naturally we are very disppointed to read that your stay was not as good as you expected. Your important feedback is duly noted and has been addressed.

"The lodge itself is very nice and spacious."
When we arrived, reception was closed. A relative had stayed at the same lodge the previous week and we contacted him and he gave s a code for the keys to get in. Luckily it was the same! There were some issues at the lodge.
The decking is way too slippery (even in the poor weather which we had). Only 2 of the gas hobs on the cooker worked but the main thing for us was the water in the hot tub was too cold. It was set at 36 degrees and we were asked not to adjust. For a winter break, this 'attraction' for us was disappointing and we did not use. I looked for cottages with a hot tub.
Dear Andrew. We are sorry that your stay at the lodge did not live up to your and our expectations and thank you for your important feedback which is duly noted and resolved.

The property
Nestled on the outskirts of Narberth, a bustling town in Pembrokeshire, is this fabulous single-storey dwelling, 1 Hornbeam Lodge, situated on a golf-course.
Complete with a private veranda and garden, housing a hot tub, open-plan living, and a welcoming interior, the lodge is the ideal retreat for friends, families, and couples, looking to escape to the rural countryside.
Arriving at the spacious open-plan living space, here you can look forward to relaxing in front of the electric fire, whilst spending some quality time together discussing your daily adventures.
The contemporary kitchen, fitted with sleek white units and worktops, and state-of-the-art appliances offers the ideal space to rustle up delicious meals, possible to enjoy around the dining table with a well-deserved glass of wine.
Once you’ve cleared up, step out to your very own outdoor space, enveloped by the countryside, ideal for a babbling soak in the hot tub, before heading indoors to refresh in the generously-sized bathroom.
Retire to one of the two bedrooms on offer, both well-presented, including a double with TV and en-suite shower room, and a twin, where you can make yourself at home after a fun-filled day.
Heading into Narberth you’ll find an array of traditional eateries, and a selection of shops and supermarkets to ease your self-catered stay.
A short journey from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, stretching across 186 miles, enjoy far-reaching views across the coastline whilst taking a walk across the golden sandy terrain or perhaps taking to the water for some water sports.
On your travels, be sure to visit some of the county’s landmarks, including Pembroke Castle, where Henry VII resided, or if you’d prefer an adrenaline filled day out, head to Oakwood Theme Park with thrilling rollercoaster rides, or Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, with many farmyard animals, games, and fair rides to enjoy, whilst Skomer nature reserve is rich with bird life.
