  • "Absolutely brilliant family weekend away in a lovely cabin in the woods."

    Well stocked and clean cabin with amazing views from every window. Would highly recommend staying here.

  • "3rd time staying here and has really become a home from home to visit."

    The area is so beautiful, just driving out to the shops is breathtaking. The chalet is great, feels homely, comfortable and like you're on holiday, very relaxing. The view from the front and back is beautiful and you really feel like you are in a hidden escape. Can't wait to go back

  • "We go solely here for a base for the mach loop."

    We love the flight path its on… our only thing we would love to see changed would be moving the picnic bench that is around the back and move it to the front so we could eat outside whilst enjoying the views ect

  • "We (which includes my two adult daughters and dog) arrived about 9pm on the Friday evening when it was just dropping dark."

    The instructions for access were clear and when we went in to the Chalet, it was so warm and cosy and so welcoming. The Chalet was clean with everything you need for a week away. It is one of 6 down a private lane. Beth sent me a pin drop and the instructions made finding it easy. The location is perfect. It is a short walk into Dinas Mawddwy where the pub serves really nice food and the local cafe is really cute with good cakes. Both are really dog friendly. It is not far to the town to stock up and Barmouth is only half an hour if you want to go to the beach. I drove up with friends and walked Rhinog Fawr and then my daughters and I did Snowdon. Fabulous days!! We had mixed weather so we were able to sit outside on the new bench and soak up the peace and the view over a glass of wine or a cuppa. The garden is enclosed which made it really relaxing with the dog but the Chalet is most definitely on the MACH loop which we loved but our sound sensitive dog wasn’t too impressed. The MACH loop is definitely worth a visit. We timed it perfectly. So cool. We explored a little bit locally but unfortunately didn’t do any proper local walks. Next time! Beth answered all of my questions before we went and was very nice and friendly so we got a relaxed and lovely warm feeling even before we arrived. As a family we needed a break, some quality time together and some time out from life which is exactly what we got on our holiday to Wales. Thank you Beth. I would definitely recommend and would like to come back to explore some more. Kindest regards, The Lake Ladies x

  • "Second time we’ve stayed at this property and was perfect for us again."

    There were just a couple of minor details that had been overlooked. 1) The fridge was switched off and had defrosted itself onto the floor, and 2) there was some bits of rubbish around where cleaning hadn’t been so scrupulous as when we last stayed (Oct ‘23). Like I said these were just minor and didn’t spoil our stay, just bringing them to your attention. We will be back, probably some time next year. Many thanks!

    Dear Ian, I have only just seem this. I am ever so sorry to have missed a few things. Despite these issues i am glad you’ve had another lovely stay and we look forward to welcoming you back. Please feel free to contact me next time if there are any issues and i’ll gladly come over to try to sort them asap, although i hope i won’t have missed them next time. Thanks for the posotove review. Property Owner

    The chalet provides everything you could need during your stay and was very comfortable and homely, the local pub was worth the visit and serves very yummy food we’re booking again for next year we didn’t want to leave the whole week was amazing

    Ideal for hill and trail walking, great for dogs, Osprey centre, Red Kite feeding centre, Devils Bridge and steam railway, as well as being on the Mach Loop for fast jets. With an excellent local pub in walking distance, we have already booked again xx

  • "We were very impressed with Chalet 2, for our first time using Sykes, everything you could possibly need on arrival was there, with good instructions and local recommendations."

    Our only suggestion would be to help finding Chalet 2, if folk are using the what3words app on their phones it would take them straight to the chalet (assuming they still have a signal!), we arrived later than we’d hoped to on the Friday, and it was a little challenging to find in the dark! I used the app whilst there and in the front room the 3 words were: restriction.lollipop.reference . Once again we had a fantastic weekend, and are planning a return visit next year

    Had a great few days exploring the area and beyond. This was a convenient and cosy base to have and a nice place to chill with the tired dogs in the evenings after long days. Shower and kitchen facilities were good and some nice little touches from the owners. Will come back!

    Lots of wildlife despite the occasional low flying jets. Chalet has everything but a dishwasher. The bedrooms are small but very comfortable. Lovely local walks and a friendly community. Don’t miss Y Llew Coch and the cafe both a short walk to the village away. Lily the dog had a marvellous time.

  • "No proper provision for clothing."

    No Wardrobes or adequate drawers, no hangers for the rail fixed to the wall which we assume was for our clothes. We do not expect to have to live out of a suitcase. No oven dishes, no dishes for microwave, which we found very limiting. Lighting in the lounge area is insufficient. Heating was not set for our stay - we had to read the manual to turn it on. The Hot water was totally inadequate, pressure was very low except in the bath. We had to keep turning the BOOST button for a supply of hot water. No instructions were available for the setting of the controller. Instructions for the wifi were "See Router," which was securely fastened to the wall, the password etc. was on the back of the router which was very difficult to take off the wall. We did discover a card with the password etc. in a drawer later. The washbasin in the bathroom was much too small to be practical, and adequate only for washing your hands and cleaning teeth. The window in the Bunkbed room would not close. A child could lean against it whilst climbing the ladder and the window being insecure would open and the child fall out. As well as a security issue. The garden is definitely NOT safe for children there being an unfenced, almost sheer drop to the river below at the rear of the cabin.. Whilst this is mentioned in the information pack clients should be made aware of this before booking. Also mentioned in the info pack is a warning about the ramp. However this does require immediate attention as one of our party fell foul of the drop and the sharp edge gashing the leg. The travel directions supplied were totally lacking. We spoke to your agent who agreed, and said she would contact the owner and call back with fuller directions. No return call! The website has a link to Google Maps, which if followed leads to to the wrong road altogether. I note that Sykes have added a What Three Words to the directions on line. Had I not spent considerable time using OS Maps and Google maps, we could have found ourselves at a total loss. Whilst it is obvious that the cabin is in process of being renovated, we are of the opinion (judging against other properties we have stayed in from Sykes) the hire price is much too high. It is also worth mentioning in the cabin information the the cabin lies in the MACH LOOP, and extremely low and loud jets fly directly overhead, which at times causes the cabn to shake!
