This cottage is in two halves.
The newer extension is lovely, large living room, comfortable bedroom, functional shower room. BUT the rest of the cottage is substandard for the money we were charged. The dated kitchen has a dirty, broken sink, the cooker is missing hob dial markings, the window sill grouting is grubby and there is no washing machine. Despite the owner saying there is no space to install one, there are plenty of empty cupboards where one could go. We had to drive to Newport and pay £20 for a laundrette service wash, then go back to collect. In 15 years of booking holiday rental cottages, we have never had one without a washing machine. The rest of the cottage smelt so strongly of damp and mildew my daughter and I got sore throats from it. She had to sleep in the twin room, but none of us could have slept in the older double room. The mould smell was so strong. The older style living room was dimly lit, too dark to sit in at night, smelt of damp and had huge dirty cobwebs all over the place. The stone fireplace was covered in thick cobwebs and home to spiders. It just didn't feel comfortable to spend any time in the room, so we didn't. The main bathroom had a broken skirting board hanging off the wall behind the toilet and cobwebs behind it. There was presumably an oil fired boiler in the locked cupboard in the bathroom as the whole room stank of fuel or oil. I had hoped to have a relaxing bath on holiday, but honestly couldn't have spent more than a few minutes in the room. We kept this door shut too. So for nearly £2,000 my family spent the week in three rooms which I don't feel is good value. The location was lovely and we enjoyed the river bank setting. The facilities offered for outside were on par with what we paid for, but sadly the inside was a real let down and disappointment. The house just isn't clean enough in places and the evident damp problem could be a health hazard for someone with asthma.

Carnorfa is a lovely cottage ideally located near the centre of the village with quick access to shops and pubs.
It's bit like a Tardis, looks small from the outside but very roomy inside. Basement has a bathroom with full bath and a small living room with TV. The entrance floor has the well equipped kitchen with a washing machine and separate dryer and a dishwasher. A large cooker with all the pots and pans you may need and a coffee machine. Pleasantly surprised by the welcome back - butter, bread, milk, etc. The fresh bread was fantastic! The living room had two sofas and an arm chair and a gas fire. The TV was a smart TV. Upstairs was a bathroom with a nice tub and a separate shower and two bedrooms. The top floor had sky lights with views to the sea additional seating and another shower room and a very comfortable bed. All the showers were pressure showers apart from the one in the basement which was electric. The street is a little narrow but there is enough space to park your car but remember to place the bin in the space when you go anywhere. Near by there are a few pubs - we tried them all and all had something different. Don't forget to try the cellar bar! We were there in early April and not everything is open all week at that time so make the most of going out from Thursday to Sunday. Day trip to St David's is a must along with was walk along the coastal path there. Stunning scenery awaits you!. Allow about 2 hours for the walk which is mostly flat except towards the end. Overall, Carnorfa is an ideal place to stay at and the property is modern and well looked after and equipped with the everything that is of high quality. You get what you pay for!

Amazing cottage, in a fantastic location, the property is done up really well and is very comfortable.
It's a very short walk to a lovely beach. I'd definitely recommend it. The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is the lack of 'extra touches' compared with other places (usually cheaper) that I've stayed in, e.g the welcome pack contained uht milk and long life bread, compared with places I've arrived to find platters of fresh fruits and fresh flowers etc, the essentials were provided, but but really enough to last the week (and there was only two of us+a baby) e.g tea, coffee, shower gel, shampoo which fortunately we'd brought our own. Lack of plug sockets by bedside tables was also a minor niggle. There was no option for high chair or travel cot which again meant we had to bring our own. Also as a note for others with young kids the rungs on the banisters our far enough apart a child could very easily fit though so we were needing to watch our daughter very carefully when upstairs (pretty sure it wouldn't pass modern building regulations). These negatives are all pretty minor and absolutely would not put me off staying again, just a note for the owner that a little extra can make a big difference! Jon, the house manager was great and when we said there were no bin bags he got them to us the same day.

The property is absolutely idyllic and in a lovely area with beautiful views, this is where the positive feedback ends.
The property is not very clean, cobwebs on the windows, dirty carpets and sofa, scuffed walls, dead flys on surfaces these issues may be down to the cleaning staff and not the owner BUT the old fashioned interior is down to the owner, the stair carpet dates from circa 1960 and it could be made into a lovely modern cottage, instead of an old fashioned cottage, which holds no appeal. Apat from above, the main gripe for us was on 3 seperate occasions, somebody entered the cottage without our permission, when we weren't home. We thought it odd when we were told to leave the keys in the key safe when we were out.....the first occasion somebody entered the property, we knew as the doors had been left open when we had closed them AND the key safe wasn't on the numbers we had left them on, when we left the property, that occurred on 2 more occasions. We approached sykes who weren't Interested and they informed the owner who stated nobody had entered the cottage this is not true, we have no reason to lie what would be our gain? Would we stay there again NO, is it overpriced YES ....its like staying in an elderly relatives home but the difference is one has to pay......not a happy experience at all.

We had a week in Penllain as a family of four in July 2023.
The cottage is every bit as charming as the pictures show; it is as neat as a pin, thoughtfully appointed and is obviously well loved and cared for. Inside is a very well kitted out kitchen with all that you could need for creating culinary delights, a cosy lounge with a fire and really comfy sofa and chairs and even blankets to snuggle up with. The bedrooms are very comfortable, perfect for catching up on sleep and letting teens lie in! The downstairs bathroom is spot on with a good shower over the bath, steam free mirror and underfloor heating, again all appreciated by the teenagers. Outside, the garden is perfect for games and sitting in the sun. The location is fabulous, off the beaten track, very peaceful and with stunning views. The track outside leads straight up on to the top of the hills so walking from the front door is an easy option which we enjoyed. We also walked back to the cottage from Newport without getting run over... The cottage would give you the same sort of hug in winter as it does in the summer, and we will definitely be back - with our dog next time. Highly recommend it as a place to take the chance to slow down, recharge and restore oneself.
