  • "Property exactly as described, and we had a great little stay, THANK YOU."

    Property needs a proper deep clean, I left the rubbish I found in my bedroom on the bedside table but the cobwebs I left untouched. The kitchen sink is a disgrace and main downstairs lights look to be from the last century, paint around the internal arch needs attention. Double glazing seems to let in the cold, not sure how. Overall, very comfortable, generous sized rooms, lovely hot tub and games room, great wifi, huge dining table and a very spacious property. The positives very much outweigh the negatives, it was a wonderful break for us, thank you. The how likely am I to recommend answer applies to Sykes, not the property; I would totally recommend the property 10/10.

    Thank you for your feedback which has been shared with those who are responsible on a weekly basis for cleaning the property. Since your stay all the carpets have been thoroughly cleaned. The kitchen sink is also being replaced shortly. Thank you for raising these points. Constructive feedback helps guide us in keeping Awel y Llan in the best possible condition. Property Owner

  • "Over the years we have stayed at quite a few large houses for our family holiday and we all agreed this was the best one yet."

    The standards of cleanliness and comfort were very high, everything that we needed was provided. We didn't see there was a bbq in the listing so it was a nice surprise that there was one. The sauna and hot tub facility was just marvellous. We loved the little touches, fresh flowers and all the origami animals. The only constructive suggestion we would make would be to add a door to the bathroom area in the ground floor double room. We will certainly return.

  • "Absolutely gorgeous house with plenty of space and such stunning views."

    We couldn't fault it - had everything we needed. Best equipped kitchen we've come across - lovely to have plenty of crockery & glasses - some places only have one per person so you are constantly washing up. We walked down the zig zag steps to Harlech beach & also used both Harlech & Llandawng beach car parks. Visited the castle & slate mine. Such a brilliant holiday. Would have re-booked for next year if it was available:-)

  • "Absolutely fabulous property."

    This was our third stay and the fact we keep coming back speaks volumes. Perfect location. Really well-equipped with everything you could think of. Spacious rooms. Something to suit every family member from the hot tub to the games room to the relaxing sun loungers at the front. New addition of the play area went down very well too. Sunset views are amazing. We will be back.

    Thank you so much for your 5* feedback. I'm so pleased you had another great holiday at our house. Do come again! Property Owner

  • "Super cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much."

    Everything was as described and the facilities were spot on. The only thing I would ask is that the bedroom that was ensuite was missing the door to the loo which meant using the room lacked some privacy but other than that the whole cottage was great. It was great weather too so that did help :)

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm so pleased you had a good stay. Property Owner

    The house is situated in a fabulous position with exceptional views. The beach is close by and absolutely stunning. The house provides everything you need for your stay, it is clean, the games room keeps everybody amused when the rain appears and its is very spacious - there is space for everyone.

    Very spacious and comfortable house. Lovely location. You do need to drive to get around (though lovely walks form the house, and possible to walk to beaches) but neighboring towns and villages with restaurants and shops are very near by car.

    ). This is a lovely, well maintained and comfy holiday home. It has the most amazing views from the house and is in an area of outstanding beauty. There is so much to do and see as well as just relaxing in the garden or the hot tub enjoying the views. Even on a wet day we found plenty to occupy us in the games room. Definitely a 5 star holiday home.

    The accommodation was perfect plenty of space for everyone and very comfortable. Well equipped in the kitchen. Games room was great we had a table tennis tournament on the one day it rained which was great fun. The views from the front were lovely. Lovely beach nearby, less than 5 minutes in the car or a nice 20 minute walk. Stunning area we will return.

  • "When paying almost £3000 for a property for one week, one would expect a dishcloth, scourer and oven gloves in the kitchen."

    Also one rubbish bag for a house that sleeps 12 is not satisfactory at all. The sink was in a sorry state and needs replacing. As noticed in another review, some of the jets in the hot tub don't work and the water sprays out everywhere when on the higher setting. It looked like something was broken where the water comes in. Overall, the property felt a little tired. The setting is very nice with lovely views. We would have been very tempted to book again but the above issues have put us off.

    Thank you for your feedback. I think the issues you faced were exceptional, as usually there are enough supplies in the house. We have spoken with our cleaner about these things. We have had problems with the hot tub and specific parts needed to be ordered in, but these issues have now been rectified. Hope you otherwise had a lovely stay. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at this property."

    The views were amazing. It was very spacious and comfortable. The only issue we faced was with regards to the gas cylinder for the BBQ. It was empty and we had to go searching for a replacement, which was a little disappointing. All in all a positive stay, thank you for having us. =)

    Thank you for your feedback. I m glad you enjoyed your stay. The gas cylinder was full last time we were at the property so I'm sorry you were put to this inconvenience Property Owner

  • "On arrival should have been complimentary coffee milk and tea ."

    On a long journey had to go out to get basics. Hot tub jets didn't work very well and the mop for water was rubbish. Had no hot water so had to make lots of phone calls first to electrian then finally spoke to owner which he did sort out problem in the end but not needed. The filter on extractor fan in kitchen smelt like old fat also the dinning room seats had stains on them . When we striped beds last day found that none of the pillows had no sort of protector on them and they had stains, and upstairs the double duvet had blood on it which we didn't see until we striped it. We couldn't play table tennis because there was one ball and that had a split in it. I even went to a sports shop to buy some but no luck. I might be nit picking but if these things are offered everything should be in place. Also in the kitchen there is no tongs for food and the knives where so blunt I struggled cutting anythings, no big tray for pizza in any cupboard. Apart from those things we did enjoy ourselves location is really nice, just need a little more eye to detail

    Thank you for your comments. It is really useful to receive feedback so we can make sure that the house is in the best possible condition for guests. I have taken note of your points raised. I have now ordered some pillow protectors, and I have been in touch with our cleaning lady who will check the bedding, stains on the dining chairs and the extractor fan filter. I have asked her to ensure the hot water is switched on for future guests. In addition I have requested that there is a working mop in the spa room and that there are enough table tennis bats and balls in the games room for you to enjoy. I am pleased though that you were able to have an enjoyable time in our house and in the local region. Property Owner

    Ranging in age from 2 to 74, some or all of us cycled, swam, paddle boarded, played golf, walked Snowden, surfed, visited a play barn, browsed the shops, spent hours on the beach and explored Harlech Castle, all within easy reach of our accommodation. Evenings were spent enjoying the hot tub and sauna, playing in the games room and finally relaxing over a glass of wine or two by the cosy log burner. A wonderful week for the whole family. We highly recommend Awel Y Llan.

    No cot or high chair ( we bought our own). It’s also the first self catering home I’ve been to in many years without a welcome tray ( milk, cake, tea etc). The house was spotlessly clean, the facilities were very good and the views were fantastic. The kitchen was really well equipped and the house had loads of space for us all to enjoy. Beds were super comfy and bed linen and pillows really good quality.
