  As stated in the previous two reviews, this property was not clean.

  The toilet had long black hair stuck to it and weeks of grime on the seat; the bath and floor also hadn't been cleaned. The carpets throughout had not been vacuumed and the two red chairs and settee were covered in long, cream coloured dog hairs. The beams in the large bedroom had several webbs and cellar spiders in most corners. A previous review stated the bins were overflowing upon arrival, this seems to have been rectified by not providing a bin! There was a small, dirty food waste bin on the window sill in the kitchen, but nothing provided for general waste. I called Sykes Cottages who arranged for the cleaner to return. Upon arrival the cleaner apologised and stated her partner cleaned downstairs, while she was responsible for changing the linen upstairs (clean bedding and towels were provided). The cleaner spent around 5 minutes in the bathroom then came out and asked me to inspect it; she then offered to vacuum the settee and chairs, which she did. I thanked her and told her she could go as she said she had a BBQ to attend that evening. After she left, I cleaned the bathroom and vaccumed properly, whilst my husband cleaned the kitchen sides and cupboards. It is a shame that the property is dirty because you can see that the owner has spent a lot of money on the decor and furnishings. The property is pretty and is in an ideal location for the harbour, pubs and shops. There is a steep hill to climb into the main town, which was not a problem for us as we do a lot of dog walking. When we booked the cottage at the beginning of the year, the reviews were good and it's only recent ones which are not.

  The picture is deceiving, probably my fault I should have been more thorough but I thought I was booking a one floor cottage from the picture.

  I booked this for a short getaway for my 92 year old mum having just lost her husband of 70 years. It turns out that this picture is the rear of the property, all the bedrooms were up a flight of stairs, very difficult for my mum and the bathroom was up and down steps even more difficult especially in the night. There was a tripping hazard from the archway of the lounge area on route to the kitchen and stairs to first floor. It was very cold in the cottage and no logs to light the fire until we asked for them, on lighting the fire the room was filled with smoke which played havoc with our breathing, not good for my mum's asthma. The kitchen bin was overflowing with rubbish from previous guests and there was evidence of rodent mess in the cupboard. The curtains over the door an archway are in need of cleaning or replacing. I tried several times to get hold of an agent to sort these problems and eventually got someone to come out to rectify, the bunch of flowers he brought to pacify us were a nice gesture but in no way made up for the disappointing start to our vacation

  We took a last minute booking.

  .. and couldn't have done better than this lovely cottage.” We were thrilled when we arrived, having thought it was probably mainly a 'non-improved' cottage, we discovered something that was very special indeed. Llety has been done up to a very high standard. The carpentry is very beautiful and the craftsmanship a delight.... look out for the 'lock' to the bathroom door! The downstairs bathroom is spacious and new... and having an upstairs loo a very important item on our 'wish-list'... yours too??? Don't miss the view from the back bedroom window of the hills. We really enjoyed eating with the open view of the garden.. even if it wasn't warm enough early March to use the facilities there. Close to shops and plenty of pubs, we ate at The Royal Oak, also 2 takeaways... the Chinese one being just down the road a little from the cottage. I'd worried about parking but we always found a place on the hill there.

  Reviews mentioning the carpentry had me curious and we were not disappointed!

  The fascinating door features are an absolute delight, making this the most interesting and inspiring cottage we've stayed in. As well as being beautiful and stylish, Llety is well-equipped and cozy with very comfortable beds. The back garden got sun all day and on a clear night the stars were amazing. The back door needs some attention (I had great trouble unlocking it; I think it has dropped). Curtain linings would be appreciated, as would a blind for the bedroom Velux - sunlight had us all awake very early! The info folder needs an update: Ffwrn has closed down (a newer bakery, Nourish, was sold out of bread by 10:45am Saturday); and instructions are needed to help guests with recycling. The location is brilliant, being handy for shops and eateries while very tranquil, with lovely views and walks nearby. We really enjoyed this peaceful mini-break and may return to Llety (with sleep masks).

  The house is in a great location close to all amenities and great pubs in Fishguard.

  The beds are comfortable and the sheets and towels clean. There is an over bath shower and plenty of hot water. There is no designated parking for the property, but we never had any problems parking somewhere on the street outside the house during the time we were there. The kitchen is lacking some basic equipment if you are self catering, e.g. , baking dishes/trays, sieve, oven gloves, sharp knives and there were not enough glasses for 6. The fridge is very small and there is no freezer, definitely not big enough to store food for 6 (the number of guests the house accommodates). The oven and trays in it were very greasy. There was quite a lot of dust and hair under the bed I slept in. The general view of the other people I went with was that the bathroom could do with a bit of a refurbish around the bath.
