• "I love this place!"

  I have just returned from my second visit and can’t wait to go back. The views are amazing and there are wonderful walks from the doorstep. It is an easy walk into Conway and there is a supermarket close by. Perfect location.

  Thank you for your review Jan, so glad you love Castle View as much as us. Come again soon. James & Kate Property Owner

• "We had a lovely week here."

  Very comfortable beds and recliner sofa. Nice little garden to sit outside and a sunny deck out front. All the home comforts. It has a perfect location for exploring all that North Wales has to offer: Conwy, Llandudno, parts of Snowdonia and Anglesey. And a very dog friendly area too - nearly everywhere allows dogs so we all had a fabulous holiday. Thank you!

  Hi Barry, glad you liked Castle View. You made me aware of the loose toilet seat and I offered to come and fix it ASAP to which you declined and said you did not want to be disturbed. A new one has been fitted, so thank you for bringing it to my attention. Come again soon. James & Kate Property Owner

  The property was clean and comfortable. Nice quiet area with lovely walks to the beach. The first two days we had glorious weather so we enjoyed sitting on the sun terrace. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse, however it was nice to come back to the lovely Castle view after a wet day. My dog enjoyed himself too. Would definitely recommend.

• "A nice little house in a good location."

  Our welcome pack was thoughtful and appreciated, thank you. On first entering the house appeared clean. Unfortunately some aspects were not up to the standard we expected. The white curtains in lounge are very dirty. We moved the armchair to fit a dog bed in, the floor behind and under the furniture had not been swept, revealing bits of old food and small dog toys, (these were left in the house). The shower head has black mould on it. The bathroom fan is filthy. The back patio was dirty with dog poo and litter. I had to clean this up before I could allow my dogs outside. Not a very nice welcome. Stripping the bed down on leaving revealed a stained mattress protector and rubbish under the bed. I have photos of the curtains, shower head, fan, stained bedding and under bed. The sofa has been well used and you sink right into the left seat. Sofa also needs a good clean. The rear outside light does not work. The focal center of the lounge is a very large clock. Unfortunately this was not working either. The literature in the house says a spare set of keys are in the cutlery drawer. They were not there so we had to separate the keys on the keyring in order to be able to open both doors. It is such a shame that these little matters could not have been better managed as this could be a fabulous place to stay.

  Thank you for your feedback Janette, the last guests had taken the spare keys by accident with them and have since posted them back, sorry for any inconvenience. The outside light has just been brought to our attention and will be fixed as will the AA battery in the clock be replaced. As for your feedback on the cleanliness I have fed this back to out house keeper's colleague as unfortunately our housekeeper was on holiday that week. Property Owner

• "We left our opinion in guest book."

  Lovely accommodation. Just few shortfalls. Only one bedside light. Pillows on bed low quality. Others visitors had said certain things needed fixing, re stove light.... but not replaced. For safety purposes, needs a hand rail in bath as shower over bath. Also be good to have one to step out from bath on right of wall. Hard running a place as we well know having done it for years. Good luck to the owners.

• "The facilities at the house are good."

  The cleaning of it not so good, the maintenance needs attention. The light over cooker in the extractor fan does not work,will not switch on,also outside light for back garden needs replacing .Thought it needed a new bulb but on inspection was in need of new lamp due to it being broken for some time. The toaster tray at bottom had not been emptied for quite a while,also dustpan for inside house was filthy looked like it had been used outside.also draws in freezer when removed were dirty underneath. Sykes put in their paperwork to us that the house is deep cleaned for guests but not as expected. Bed linen clean and comfortable also towels etc. plenty of hot water crockery also good. Back garden also not so good needs a good clean.

  Thanks for you feedback Hazel and bringing to my attention the outside light has stopped working. Our housekeeper was on holiday for 2 weeks but will feed this back to her colleague to ensure this does not happen again. Hope you had a nice break. Property Owner

  The house was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed The location is a perfect base for exploring the beauty of North Wales Two points which require some maintenance The silicone round the bath needs to be replaced and at the rear of the house the garden needs some attention to make it comfortable for sitting outside Apart from that One of the best properties we have stayed in and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday

  Thank you George for your feedback. I am glad you thought it was one of the best you have stayed at, much appreciated. I will get the silicone around the bath replaced and we have the gardener coming regularly to maintain the patio, hedges and grass. Unfortunately this summer has been perfect growing weather !!!

• "This is a lovely property, well laid out and tastefully decorated."

  Good modern flooring and furniture. I do think that more detail about the difficulty and steepness of the parking space and steps to the property should be empathised more in the property description.. I would only recommend this property to the younger, fitter clients. My husband, 73 plays golf three times a week and is generally fit, but he found loading and unloading the car really difficult whilst battling the gradient. It is a real struggle trying to get in and out. Nice stay but glad to be back on level footing.

  Thank you for your feedback Wendy. We try to make guests aware of the slope in our description and photos. We have a property close by that may suit your needs better if you ever want to return to the area. (Sunset Sands Ref 1011988.) Property Owner

• "A lovely property in a very pleasant area in Deganwy."

  The house was well equipped but there were a couple of drawbacks for us which we should have noted before booking. The first one was the steepness of the parking and the steps up to the house and, more importantly for us as we are quite elderly, was the lack of a downstairs toilet. Finally, if one were to use the rear entrance to the house, for which keys were provided, I feel a handrail up the back steps is lacking and the steps themselves require some maintenance.

• "The instructions for access were clear and unloading was easy but via 8 steps."

  However it should be noted that the drive is on quite a steep slope which might be a problem for some individuals. The house was in a quiet neighbourhood (late June) with little or no disturbance despite the nearby railway and main road. There were good views of the nearby hills, the river and the castle from the front bedroom and the decked area adjacent to the front door. The double bed was soft but tolerable with our own toppers. We did not use the single bed so cannot comment. There is no gas in the property and the heating, hot water and the shower were electric. We did not use the heating so cannot comment. The hot water is from a hot water tank with an immersion heater and was very good. The shower was also perfectly adequate with a reasonable flow. The towels were a bit small compared to other properties we have used and we did not find an information folder with instructions for appliances etc. There was some information on local attractions. The TV was good with both Netflix and Amazon Prime included. We thought Deganwy was an excellent location for visiting the area. There was a fish and chip shop 1-2 minutes on the main road to Llanduno Junction. At Llanduno jumction there were supermarkets and access to the NorthWales Expressway. There is an M&S at Llanduno but parking costs £2.50 per hour. Lots to do in the area and we would return to the area and the property in the future it we have time.

• "The parking is there BUT it is difficult because the space is on a severe gradient which makes getting in an out of the car a struggle and there were always cars parked opposite which hampered the access and exit."

  One reason for us choosing Castle View was the enclosed garden and grass area as we have a small dog. However you need to be very fit and agile to access this area. The steps are steep and without an adequate handrail.The upper steps are hazardous with loose gravel. If we hadn’t had the company of a young person with us we could not have cleaned up after our dog. Internally the property did better. The kitchen needs slightly more than pots and pans ….such as a few casserole dishes.and a dishwasher would have been preferable to the large freezer which we never used. Upstairs is comfortable but the single bedroom has no hanging rail and only 1 hook…..definitely not to our daughters liking.The same goes for the bathroom. Fantastic shower but a grab rail to aid getting in and out of the bath would be a great idea. It’s the first bathroom I’ve been into that has not even one hook on which to hang one’s clothes……and the lock fell out and had to be pushed back into place on numerous occasions. On the positive side the beds and linens are excellent.As is the lounge and dining ares. I would suggest that this property is not ideal for anyone with mobility or balance problems.

• "Lovely house with amazing views."

  Very comfortable and in a great position for walks etc. Would definitely book again but a few things let it down. Mould around the bath and the pull chord for the shower hard to switch off. Info not clear for bin being emptied , we put it out but wasnt emptied. The back yard needs a good clean and the tidy. The steps not very safe but didn't need to use that entrance so not a problem for us. No starter pack of coffee pods for machine as stated so we couldn't use it as didn't know what they looked like which was disappointing. Hope to return very soon

  Thank you June for your feedback. I have spoken to the House keeper and the coffee pods were an error which i really apologise for. I have also organised for the back garden to be looked at, we are planning to re do it completely in the off season. The bathroom has also been looked into and rectified. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

  Train station was great and 200m away(access to many areas) Local pub was closed 5 days of the 7 we were there which was rubbish, and the other eateries were not dog friendly! The house was ok clean and comfortable, be interested to see the cost this 2 up 2 down prior to lockdown!! Bath had mould around it which is not good and the oven and extraction hood were covered in grease so we wouldn’t use it!!! Small issues that could be easily put right!! We had a great time as did the dog, weather was typically Britishi and rained!! Area is still subject to lockdown rules!

  It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and was tastefully furnished. It was situated near Conwy and Llandudno and easy access to Snowdonia. We visited Padarn Lake in Snowdonia and Benllech Beach in Angelesey which were stunning places and our cockapoo Teddy loved the swimming there. The beach at Deganwy nearest the cottage is dog friendly (Just across then road past the station). Teddy enjoyed the garden at Castle View which was a perfect place to relax in the evenings. We will most definitely be returning.
