Nice garden, I'd say semi-secure for those with dogs. Absolutely recommend, lovely place! For those wanting more detail: *For reactive dog owners* If you have an escape artist I'd probably just take a long line for night time toileting as fencing could be jumped. I only mention the next part because it's something that I have to carefully assess and not many people mention in reviews. If you have a reactive dog/s then this place would not be ideal in peak season. I imagine it would be very very busy. We went in November and lucked out with the weather. The beach was quiet so we could get out with the dogs easily and rarely encounter many other dogs. My dog gets too excited on lead and had everywhere been full (holiday cottages, YHA and massive campsite behind) I imagine it would of been a nightmare for us as he barks at everything he wants to say hello to, hence the low season holiday. There are amazing walks nearby, some more challenging than others. Also, Rhossili beach is about 25 minutes away by car, it's worth a trip and is dog friendly. The house was modern throughout, recently painted and well maintained. For the log burner, I'd take wood with you as the petrol station was quite expensive and the wood was damp and difficult to light. The smart central heating was a little confusing so we were glad of the fire. We finally figured out how to use it after googling it. Kitchen had all the utensils, could have done with a cupboard for storing food though as all had something in them. Take sponges, washing up liquid/tablets, bin bags, washing powder and toilet rolls. Personally I think these should all be in minimal supply for the price paid and not everything was available. The internet was better than we thought it would be. Definitely can not rely on it for work though. Smart TV streaming services could be glitchy but we were out on the beach a lot so weren't fussed. Vodafone had 0 network at all so if phonecalls are a must it was WhatsApp via the WiFi. Sykes tried to contact me and left a message that I didn't get unti 3 days later. Perhaps email contact from Sykes would be better? Getting to the cottage in the dark was okay but definitely don't forget the head torch. Not a place for those with mobility issues in my opinion. Directions on the site made sense only if you could see clearly. We arrived in the pitch black and luckily had looked on Google satalite view earlier so I knew which track I needed to drive down. I'd say follow signs for the youth hostel (YHA signs on lamposts) just to the left of the campsite entrance down a bumpy track. When you get to the gate with the padlock drive straight over the grass in front of you and park when you can't go any further due to bushes and unload here. Through a hidden opening in the bushes you go on foot down some steep steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left and follow the path around to the front of the building (you'll see beach access to the left, you'll follow path around to the right though). Follow path along the front of YHA and go through small gate with 'private' on it. Ours was the second to last cottage. Parking permit was on the table and the parking a shortish distance from the cottage back along the bumpy track.

To be that close to the sea was magical. The earliest we could book was October but we were so lucky with the weather although the lovely log fire was at the cottage had we needed it. Our dogs loved the beach and the back garden of the cottage was lovely and secure for them. The cottage was so adorable and had everything you could need, I cannot recommend staying here highly enough but hope it doesn't get so booked up there is no availability for us to visit again!! The Ship Inn and Smugglers Bar are both incredible. Thank you Sykes Cottages what an absolute gem!!! Vanessa Bayley, North Cerney, Gloucestershire.

Renovated to a very high degree. Towels and bedding first class. To be able to lay in bed and see the sea was a dream come true for me. The dogs loved the beach, but didnât venture into the sea. Would recommend this cottage for anyone who wanted a peaceful break.
