• "Pabo Lodge was comfortable ."

  The TV could do with an upgrade or new aerial as most of the time there was no signal. There was also a damp smell in the cottage. Although the kitchen was well equipped the cottage would benefit from a larger frying pan. The owner was very helpful and we will certainly come back to Pabo Lodge. The garden was lovely and private to. Alfie our cockapoo loved

  Garden was beautiful and big enough to throw a ball with wire mesh netting so even my Houdini couldn’t escape. Dog gate on the kitchen was a great touch so quiet something that I usually struggle with as I live very rurally Great phone reception so I ran my laptop from it with 5g no issue. Host Mark was great couldn’t of been more helpful lovely welcome basket and a great comfy bed We will be back soon

• "Lovely quiet, comfortable and warm cottage."

  Fantastic water pressure and abundant hot water. Super to have reclining chairs to relax in. Very windy for the time we were there, which resulted in all doors banging & clattering, so needed wedging each night with cardboard or material in the frame to sleep. Wind again caused awful buffering on the tv. FTTP would stop this and also could provide useful WiFi. There are times when one does need to keep in contact with family (illness) estate agents/solicitors/work members etc.

  It feels very private but is central to all the North Wales coast offers. Set in a beautiful country lane, it's ideal for dog walking, and comes with a secure garden. The lodge is warm and cosy and ideal for a winter break. Hopefully back next year.

  Had a weekend break in December so expected the weather to be cold but the cottage was lovely and cosy. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Well placed for lots of walks and easy access to towns although still had the feeling of being secluded . The cottage has a lot of charm and all the facilities you could wish for . The only drawback is parking as limited parking and access if a large vehicle but we got round this - would definitely recommend

• "Pabo Lodge was situated at the end of a narrow road, and when I arrived, I thought it would be difficult to reverse into the road from the cottage's car space each time you left the cottage."

  However it was quite easy, but would not recommend parking on the road as occasional large vehicles use the road. The cottage was accurately described - very private and very quiet which is appreciated when you want peace and quiet after a long day out visiting places etc. There was plenty of hot water and the bath and shower worked brilliantly where a lot of other places I have visited lack in this area. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you needed. The beds were very comfortable and the bed linen was clean and fresh. There are extra electric heaters if you need them, and plenty of hanging space for clothes including drawers. The owner, Mark Duncalf was very pleasant to speak with on the telephone and told me not to hesitate to contact him at anytime during my stay. I will definitely come back to stay at Pabo Lodge next year as everything was comfortable and easy to get around. Mark's information folder was very useful and correct. For example, the Queens Head Pub was amazing, not only the food but the service, and decor including.

• "When we turned off the rather inauspicious roundabout at Llandudno Junction onto Pabo Lane and passed a "Jewson's Warehouse" we were not expecting that the road would take us on into some glorious countryside with lovely views (the view of floodlit Conwy Castle from above the Lodge was especially memorable)."

  We really liked that the Lodge's garden was enclosed and offered security to our Border Terrier, Millie. Also, whilst the Lodge felt remote, it was very handy for some excellent local Pubs, Tea Rooms and Fish & Chip Shops. Given the time of year, we were able to visit some amazing gardens when they were at their best (Bodnant, Plas Cadnant, Plas Brondanw, Plas Tan-Y-Bwelch to name but a few). Whilst there were quite a lot of tourists about we found that visiting attractions first thing or later in the afternoon really payed off. We also actually found an amazing beach on Anglesey that stretched for miles and yet was completely deserted even though the weather was hot and sunny - bliss. A really great holiday all round.

• "This was by far and away the most peaceful and relaxing holiday we have ever had, and was just what we needed to unwind from the stresses of daily working life!"

  The cottage is lovely, very well presented, and perfectly situated for walks with our dog away from busy roads. It was very nice of the owners to have left tasty treats and flowers for our arrival too. Pabo Lodge had a very homely feel to it, and we felt comfortable and not 'on pins' as can sometimes be the case when staying in more modern properties with a minimalist style of decor and lots of hard, shiny surfaces which tend to show up the slightest fingerprint, and carpets which are difficult to get muddy paw prints out of.... Pabo very sensibly has easy clean floors throughout, except for the carpet in the bedrooms as one might expect from a comfort point of view. However, while having this character feel to it, the property is still very well maintained and clean - we have absolutely no complaints on either score. One never knows just how much to take to rental cottages in terms of household consumables (i.e. light cleaning materials, towels, bedding, condiments, washing up liquid, etc.), and we consequently took pretty much everything with us that we could think of, but we needn't have bothered because the owners had anticipated our needs and provided everything. The absence of wifi might be of concern to some, but we didn't mind as the whole point of the holiday was to get away from our 'normal' lives. All in all, this was the perfect, traditional little hideaway, secure outside for the dog to run about and generally for us to indulge in a little escapism and dream that it was ours! If planning another holiday in the area in future summers, we will certainly check with Sykes to see if Pabo Lodge is available. Just as a point of note regarding booking, the rider that dogs should not be allowed on the beds or settees was not available to see until the booking had actually been made, and it might be helpful for dog owners to be made aware of this in the general listing. We never go anywhere without bags of throws and additional blankets, as although our little furry friend is happy to sleep next to beds, it is well beyond the scope of our efforts to make him understand that he has to break the habit of a lifetime and not sit on the sofa, but others might not have the space in their vehicles to do likewise.
