Dwaradin Reviews

Norman
We left after one night! Could not stay in a converted garage with a shower for a week. Hot tub in the owners back garden on a housing estate. Not enough room to swing a cat !!! Sykes you should be referred to the office of fair trading for selling this as a cottage andor holiday home. I shall be pursuing a refund, do not rent this property
Owner Alison's welcome & communication with us was faultless, the property ... Owner Alison's welcome & communication with us was faultless, the property itself is new and clean a bit on the small side but was the prefect retreat for us after our days sightseeing & walking, would certainly rebook again Thank you
The hot tub itself was lovely and very warm, the property itself was very clean and modern, however this property and hot tub is right in the owners garden and on a housing culdesac, there is no privacy, neighbours on each side and at lower garden with windows looking on for a quiet break away from children wasn't going to happen due to neighbour's children playing out in their garden. Owner herself very pleasant, kind and welcoming however only stayed the one night instead of four. If we had been aware this was in a garden and residential area would not have booked.
We had a lovely comfortable stay
It was so lovely that we were able to find such a delightful stay so last minute! From Sue at Sykes helping me over the phone first trying to find somewhere and Alison the owner of the property being so welcoming. Highly recommend the bolt hole and the hot tub is just the best!
Lovely owner, clean with very good quality decor and fittings. We loved the hot tub, really nice, this made our stay very special. Our only negative would be the description of this property, we feel it is a garden studio, not a cottage. We did know this however before our stay but feel it should be pointed out to others. We would stay here again any time we were in the area and must praise the lovely shower room with constant hot water and the very comfortable bed with a great eco duvet.
Elizabeth
The accommodation is compact as described but for some reason we were expecting a tiny old cottage rather than we assume a converted garage, however this was well laid out and done to a good standard so no complaints about this. The owner kept in contact with us well. Our only comment is that the hot tub did not feel private as it is overlooked by the main house, though we never saw anybody else we felt cautious about using it for this reason.
Philippa
We had a lovely week stay at Dwaradin, our host was very welcoming and showed us how to get in to the property and use the hot tub. Inside we found although it was small it was incredibly cosy and well decorated. During our stay the weather was very cold and wet, so the only feedback we would have is that it took some time for the property to warm up and it was quite difficult to find the space to dry wet clothes. These are only very minor details though as we very much enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub and using the facilities. It's very well located near many sites of interest so I definitely would recommend!
Kismat
It was lovely ,quiet, peaceful area exactly what we wanted for our holiday. The cottage was really comfortable, cosy and well maintained and really cleaned . The owner was really helpful as well she provided everything we asked for and gave us the whole privacy during our entire journey . Will definitely recommend this beautiful, lovely ,peaceful cottage to everyone
Me and my partner had a lovely stay close to Christmas for our anniversary. The cottage was cosy & warm with a comfortable bed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings, was spot on! The host was was very friendly & gave lots of privacy. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Lovely comfortable accommodation . Very pleasant helpful host .
Lovely and relaxing place to stay. Owner was lovely and really helpful. Would stay again.
Thank you so much for providing us a comfortable place to stay in an area with so much to do. I really enjoyed my stay
I'm not sure if it was on the description but the annexe was in the owners back garden so there was not the level of privacy we wanted. The owner was really helpful and friendly and did give us some privacy but the hot tub was in the back garden of the owners property. The accommodation its self was beautiful,clean and had everything you needed. Umbrella for over hot tub that also swung round to cover decking. Would recommend.
The host was brilliant. She had sorted out the WiFi and Netflix. We had no issues with the WiFi during our stay. It was very warm during our stay so we used the brolly for shade. We would definitely go back to stay if we were in the area. The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable.
Nicola
Cottage was not what it looked like, the cottage is in the back garden of the owners house. Hot tub isnt private at all. The owner is very nice and welcoming but the stay wasnt what we expected so we left a day early. Internet is shocking and always lost connection and cant connect to Netflix on the tv most of the time
The cottage was lovely, very compact but ideal for a couple. It was peaceful and comfortable. The only complaint was the WiFi it was advertised with WiFi and a tv plus Netflix , but the WiFi kept cutting out so wasnt very reliable, and was annoying if trying to watch Netflix. Also you cant watch live tv as there is no tv aerial in the cottage. we gave up In the end and had to use data on our phones to watch tv. Hence the 4 stars feedback. But other than that it was the perfect little base for us. The hot tub was a nice touch too. The owner was very chatty and helpful the area is beautiful.
The owner was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Everything was in very good condition. There wasn't room for a comfortable chair to sit on. The decking needed some shade.
Olivia
Beautiful little cottage with lovely views. Very hospitable, helpful host. Hot tub just topped off a lovely stay, will definitely be coming back!
Callum
A really lovely little place, more spacious than expected with plenty of storage for your things. Everything we needed was provided, very comfortable and although close to the main house we felt we had our own space and privacy. The host was extremely friendly and helpful and although we were unlucky with the weather, it's a beautiful location with lots to explore.
We loved everything about the dwaradin The host Alison was so helpful and ... We loved everything about the dwaradin The host Alison was so helpful and welcoming It was very peaceful and comfortable and the hot tub was amazing will differently be returning soon
