"We absolutely loved the cottage."
The settee is low so if you’re like us (getting on a bit) watch your knees. Fantastic kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Once we got our bearings it’s a great central place to visit quite a few lovely places including some excellent friendly eating establishments. The locals are friendly and helpful all in all we had a fabulous time.

"My husband was playing golf in nearby Wrexham so needed somewhere to stay."
The house had everything you would need for a self catering stay. Ian the owner was on hand if you needed anything and gave us useful information of the area. None of the local pubs served food but we were recommended the holly bush inn in llay which is only just down the road…. excellent meal. We have no hesitation in recommending Ian’s home
many thanks for the feedback and for being such lovely guests. we hope to accommodate you again in the future.

"This was a great place to stay in a really good location."
The house was generally very comfortable and had mostly everything we needed. Just a couple of minor points including that the kitchen was mostly well equipped but was missing a few things - like glasses/tumblers for 4 people. The house is obviously well loved and has been previously finished to a high standard but could perhaps do with a little TLC in places now.

"The property was great."
We had a fantastic break. Great location for exploring the surrounding area.
One thing that puzzled me though. Every morning there was one dead wasp at the same window in the kitchen and we could not work out where it came from. I could not see a nest however and saw none flying around.
We would return for another visit as we felt comfortable in this cottage.
Thanks for having us.

"A great little cottage perfect for us and our dog Misty."
Ian the host was very helpful when we had an issue with the hob and also allowed us to take some refrigerated items into the cottage several hours before check in time.
The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Not a brilliant selection of glasses but we made do . I found the mattress on the double bed quite uncomfortable but that was my personal choice. The kitchen area was a little small but manageable.
Three of the four pubs around the village were open at various times but one wouldn’t allow dogs inside and none of them did food.
This meant we had to use the car in the evenings to find somewhere suitable.
Overall a very enjoyable week made better by the good weather we were lucky to have.

"Unhygienic hovel is the best way to describe this shack."
Ideal if you are looking for a low grade rental where the owner doesn't mind dogs messing the property.
Upon arrival we found the last renters poo in the toilet, dog wee on the living room floor, kitchen had clearly not been cleaned as sink was filthy, cups needed washing, floors had not been hoovered or mopped (I'd say not in a long time as dirt was caked on to the hardwood floor). Shower looked like a breeding ground for bacteria. Bedding had actually been changed and the cleaner had left two penguin bars out for us! ......
Our cleaners spend between 4 and 6 hours here between guests and are very thorough. I was the last person in that cottage doing painting 2 days prior to your arrival and I had a double check everything was in order. I left you biscuits and coffee out for a refreshment after your journey and your first complain to Sykes was you didn't like the open front garden and wanted to move and Sykes couldn't find you anywhere. I rang and text you the 2nd day to check everything was ok and no reply or answer so to conclude....the cottage wasn't in a bad state it's just you'd booked something you wanted to change and because you couldn't you've written a nasty review. I've reported you to Sykes for this as there's not a chance this was the case of poor hygiene.the floor is clean and is having a revarnish in 3 weeks as the varnish is lifting from lots of wet mopping but it's certainly not dirty.i know if I was renting somewhere and I had the owners direct number if phone immediately with any issues.not several days in.

"My family and I had a lovely stay at this cottage in N."
Wales. It is in a really good location for lots of attractions within 30 minutes from every direction. Very tastefully decorated and in keeping with a cottage feel to it. The owner was extremely helpful with my questions and even set-up a Netflix account for the cottage which for us was a bonus in the evenings (especially as I had recently cancelled our accounts at home).
For anyone wanting to stay with dogs, just to let you know (as it isn’t listed in the information provided by Sykes, and I had to phone up to ask), there is a small backyard that is enclosed and was absolutely adequate for our dog. Also, there was plenty of essentials such as dishwasher tabs, washing tabs, salt and pepper, bin bags etc. I do wish Sykes would list what is at their cottages, so that it helps the customer prepare and pack without duplication. The only things I would recommend to the owner is to provide a few more plates and bowls. There were only four of each, and as a family of four staying, these were all used for breakfast and also a cutlery basket for the dishwasher.
Overall, a wonderful stay for myself and my family.
