Good for dog who enjoyed use of 5 acre fenced in field. Comfort wise sofas could do with replacing or reupholstered. More specifically aimed at Sykes as a company, I am being put off of booking through yourselves because of the quite recent addition of good housekeeping bonds on the majority of properties. A competitor of yours offers a choice between a non refundable waiver or a bond, I prefer the waiver as I am not on edge throughout my break. This does not mean Iâd leave the property in a poor state but could feel more relaxed. I donât think Iâll book any more properties through Sykes until this is addressedâ¦

Quiet and relaxing with beautiful views and walks with the dog. Plenty to do and see, especially liked Crickhowell which is walkable along the canal. Nicola and Harry were so friendly and helpful. We will be back!

The cottage was very comfortable, and we loved the garden and countryside views from all the windows. It was a superb base for exploring the area, and we loved the fact that the village of Gilwern and the canal, were both close enough to walk from the door. Nicola gave us a warm welcome, and made us feel we could ask if we needed anything. Overall a great place to stay.
