• "Lovely little cottage, perfect for two."

  Fabulous location with stunning views and very convenient for Harlech town for coffee etc. Snowdonia is virtually on the doorstep. Second visit and we will definitely be back. Can we have first refusal if you decide to sell? Highly recommended.

• "Lovely week with probably the best views we’ve had in a holiday rental property."

  The cottage was compact as stated but absolutely fine for the three of us. Very comfortable & the decking & garden was super to sit out in.

• "We love this little cottage, this was our second visit and we hope that we will be able to return soon."

  It’s worth the extremely long haul from Norfolk to Harlech. Evenings on the decking, watching the sunset, with a glass or two, are just so relaxing. Thank you Alison and Mark.

• "The only thing missing was an iron and possibly ironing board after using the washing machine."

  Otherwise the property was super in terms of comfort, cleanliness and location. The view from the lounge was spectacular. Apologies if you have done this but make sure the parking situation is emphasized as it was fun trying to park on such a steep road for the first time

• "Lovely cottage with superb views from the decked area."

  Nice garden furniture to sit on. Property is Quite snug though. 4 adults may struggle with room and lounge really only seats 3. Was cold when we arrived as I don’t think anyone was in the week before us. We had to put heating on and light the log burner (enough wood for 1 fire only - have to buy your own after that). But once the house warmed up it was fine but we did have warm weather also. I did have to clean the worktops in the kitchen as there were cobwebs and crumbs behind the microwave. Same with bread bin. But other than that it was fine and very well equipped. Good wi-fi. Very comfy and clean bed. We took our own towels but one was provided per occupant. There was a tea towel and hand towel in the kitchen. Also a bath mat in the bathroom but it really needs a non slip bath mat in the shower - can be quite slippery. There are no wardrobes at all due to lack of space but I did speak to the owners prior to arriving to confirm and took my own portable hanging rail. There are only hooks on the walls of the bedroom with hangers on there. Lovely to have a parking space right next to the back garden. Overall a lovely place to stay.

• "Really lovely stay at Snowden View for Feb half term."

  Cottage has everything you need. Was also really nice to meet one of the owners who popped in to fix something and see if everything was ok. He gave us some tips for doing things in the local area. Great week, we will be back.

• "A lovely little cottage in a beautiful location."

  Amenities within a minute’s walk just up the (very steep!) hill, but the whole of Snowdonia within easy reach. And a stunning view from the deck too. Highly recommended!!!

• "The property was clean and comfortable, but quite compact and I would say perfect for a couple but the comments in the visitors book would seem to suggest that it is very popular with families."

  The prior posts about the lack of pillows are still valid, we were able to take the ones from the other bedroom. Blessed with fantastic weather we made full use of the deck and it's fabulous views.

  The premises offer not much space but it is sufficent for 4 persons. The kitchen is equipped with all you need for daily life. The terrace offers a really stunning view to the mountains nearby.

  Had a fantastic week. The owner is friendly and approachable and made sure our stay was a comfortable one. Just one suggestion: maybe allow two pillows per person. We will be back!

  The cottage was everything we needed and the location was perfect - pub, shop, the beach and an amazing cheese shop all in walking distance. We really didn’t want to come home! Really lovely and cosy place to stay with amazing views of Snowdonia and the castle. We met the lovely owners and their dog Floyd, who were really helpful with suggestions on the local area. It was our first time to Wales and it did not disappoint!

  It's location so close to the castle and on the steepest Street was unique and was also very convenient for exploring Snowdonia. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner was friendly and approachable giving detailed assistance prior to check -in.

• "We had a fabulous week in Snowdon View and the surrounding area and day trips."

  The views from the cottage were amazing and thr children loved being so close to such a historic castle. The only thing I think could be improved is the pillows in main bedroom. Had to fold it over all week to make it thicker. Two pillows each in main bedroom would make it the next level of comfort. Lovely touch with some tea and coffee sachets and biscuits. :) They were opened quickly after a very long drive! Children were sad to come home.

  Hi Thank you for the feedback regarding the pillows. I will include two sets of pillows in the double bedroom. Great idea. Thanks for your feedback. Property Owner

• "We had a fabulous week in a lovely cosy cottage with magnificent views and a lovely decking area."

  Everything was comfortable and very clean. However I think it should be noted in your blurb that the cottage is situated on the 2nd steepest road in the world. We are both nearly 80 and I think if people want to rent this they should be asked about age, fitness etc. before booking. We are both fit and had no trouble walking up the road but there is no way we would have walked down. We would go back there again without hesitation and I can see that it might put some people off but I feel they should be told about the steepness. My husband drove down the hill but I would have had trouble..

  Thank you for your feedback. I agree that this should be included in the cottage information when booking and will contact Sykes to arrange this. I'm glad it did not deter your stay. Property Owner

  The pillows are so flat and only one each bed - never seen pillows that flat before - extra ones available if needed would be nice Nothing available to clean the fireplace out either

• "Great location (not recommended for anyone struggling on hills), awesome views."

  Couldn't be more central. Perhaps needs a little TLC. Recommend a trip to the Old Victoria in nearby Llanbedr for excellent meals.

  Hi Nigel Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are decorating Snowdon View at the end of January. It will be freshly painted throughout with new flooring throughout also. We are also having the bathroom re tiled. This was all supposed to happen last year but the Welsh lockdown prevented us. I hope to welcome you back some time. Kind regards Alison Jones Property Owner

• "The owners have got this one perfect."

  Great views of Harlech, the castle and Snowdonia, mixed with a fab garden, plenty of outdoor space and the steepest road in the world! Conquer that and you have a train station with links to plenty of towns, or the amazing beach is just a walk away. Local food in the small village is great, including fresh bread, chinese and indian. The house has everything thought of including for the kids. Children will find guides for walks, games, toys and even some bits for the bath. We had the extras a family needs like kids kitchenware, bubble bath, milk and washing up bits, those things that just make it easy to relax. The house has a good stock of menus, books and leaflets so you can plan your whole week with the free wifi whilst making the most of reading each night. There was even sky and amazon tv! Comfy beds with awesome views. There is a play park close by and plenty to do whatever the weather!

• "Snowdon View is a lovely small cottage with a fantastic view and central but quiet location in Harlech."

  It is located on the steepest hill in the town, possibly the steepest street in the world, so be aware you need to be reasonably able to walk from the cottage even to the town centre. We were surprised no bleach was left to clean the toilet.

  Unfortunately for weary children and parents there is not a flat route back to the house in the evening. The facilities are excellent and I would be back again in an instant. My wife, who suffers from vertigo, is not so passionate about the idea, but I am working on it!

• "Superb stay."

  Brilliant location. The cottage was just right for our size family. The kids had a fab time, having the swimming pool close by in Harlech was a real bonus on wetter days. Having said that there are plenty of sheltered walks through beautiful woodland locally, and the sand dunes are all the more atmospheric in the storms!

  The property is in a fabulous location overlooking Harlech, with the Snowdon range of mountains in the distance. We sat every evening on the decking and watched the sun go down - it was magical. Inside it was like home from home - very well equipped and comfortable. The owner has even supplied an extensive supply of books and brochures on the area which we found very useful, especially the books of walks. Will definitely revisit in the future.
