  This week threw me back into my childhood. 5 min walk to the dam and lots of padding spots in the stream to dip your toes in.

• "Very quiet peaceful location just 5 minutes walk from the lake centre and cafe."

  Great spot for cycling around the lake with little traffic and no traffic lights and few junctions and good for walking with quite a few trails. The cottage is pretty & comfortable. We did feel the cold somewhat even in June (it was unseasonably cold like 10 degrees some days) so the log burner came in handy.

  Glad you enjoyed our little Gem Danni Property Owner

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage over Easter."

  Very clean, cosy, quiet and well equipped. Loved the bathroom layout, separate shower and bath was very useful. Paul, the owner was very helpful and informative. Short walk through to the dam and around the sculpture park. There is a RSPB hide nearby and the ice cream at the local Artisan cafe was delicious. We will definitely be coming back to stay again. Thank you Paul for a very restful stay

• "We had a lovely relaxing stay at this cottage."

  It's a wonderful location, very quiet and peaceful but close to lots of things to do. The living spaces and rooms are a great size. With 2 children having the bath and shower options was ideal. We had a chilly evening or two despite it being August and being able to get a log fire burning was a treat. The only thing that would have made it perfect for me would have been a dishwasher but it was a wonderful week for great value. Kitchen well-equipped, a couple more better knives would have been appreciated. Fantastic playground with mud kitchen by Lake and artisans coffee place was popular. Walk to the waterfall at other end of the lake was a highlight. We enjoyed Lake Bala steam railway and a day out at Powis Castle.

• "We Thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely little cottage which was clean, well furnished and equipped."

  It is in a really beautiful, quiet location so close to Lake Vyrnwy and the impressive Dam. As RSPB members we particularly enjoyed spotting the wildlife while taking the short walk alongside the river and through the woods to the Dam and spending time in the little bird hide watching a wide variety of birds up close.

  The area is so unspoiled. No commercialism in sight... Just tranquility. Property Owner

  The cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped, everything was there for our holiday right down to an umbrella for our one rainy day. Loved the sloping garden. Great walks direct from the cottage. Thank you again to the owner who very very promptly sorted our TV issue out, very appreciated. The village church is delightful only a short stroll away. Lovely coffee at the Artisan Cafe by the lake and some nice souvenirs. A very good well stocked friendly village shop with two adorable cats. All in all a wonderful relaxing week in a beautiful area. We left a few more tourism leaflets, collected along the way, for future visitors to enjoy.

  This was the perfect place for a break to get away from the stresses of work and just relax. It may sound a bit 'airy-fairy', but it felt like you could breathe in the peace and calm, and the worries and stresses justed melted away. Highly recommended and we hope to go back soon.

• "Lovely little cottage in a very lovely location."

  The cottage is a good size, clean and with good facilities. The owner is great, lots of information & very helpful. If you like quiet then this is the place for you. Phone connection is non-existant (which bothered me not at all) but the internet really very good. If I was picky the cottage could be improved with a full size TV. It was nice after a day out and about to settle in front of the TV with the log burner firing away. All in all - great.

  Thanks Justin glad you liked our little Gem Did consider bigger TV but very small cosy room may have been dominated by it Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our week at Lake Vyrnwy, the cottage is located in a very quiet spot by the river and a short walk to the lake, a lovely relaxing break - didn’t want to go home."

  The cottage was warm and cosy and had most items needed for a weeks stay. There is an excellent shop down the road which is family run and well stocked, they were so friendly and helpful - we can recommend the take away fish and chips we had on our first night. Great well marked RSPB walking trails close by and reasonable cost bike hire for our cycle around the lake. We were lucky with the weather and one day woke up to snow which was really pretty. We hadn’t heard of Lake Vyrnwy previously but so glad we have been able to visit such a beautiful place.

  Thanks..Hope to see you again soon Property Owner

• "After reading a negative review of our cottage shortly after booking we were slightly worried about what we would encounter, thankfully our fears proved unfounded."

  The cottage was more then adequate set in wonderful surroundings with everything we needed within a short distance. We hired some bikes and rode around the beautiful Lake Vyrnwy also we had some amazing walks including the Rhiwargor waterfall situated at the top end of the Lake. The cottage itself was very comfortable/clean and tidy and set in a very quiet and picturesque location, with Wi-Fi available our daughters were more then happy. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage and hope to return in the near future.

• "* The property was generally in a dirty state, with the kitchen and living rooms both requiring vacuum cleaning on arrival."

  * Bedsheets in master bedroom filthy and covered in mould * Spare bedsheets dirty and dusty * Carpets on upper floors dirty and not vacuumed * Waste basket in master bedroom not emptied, used tissues present * Kitchen not cleaned properly – there were crumbs on the breadboard, and hair, crumbs and sticky material in the fridge tray * Grill had not been cleaned since last use, with grease and crumbs present * The carpets and sofa/chairs in the living room were both very dusty and in need of deep cleaning * Window and window sills throughout the property were filthy and covered in mould. * Grouting and tiles in the shower dirty and mouldy * Bath had a hole in the tub * Mould and dirt on walls of bathroom When I called the owner to complain, rather than make any attempt to resolve the issues, his response was to express outrage at the complaint, to deny that there was any issue, and to accuse my family of having excessively high standards. Throughout the conversation his manner was confrontational and aggressive, to the extent that I had to ask him more than once not to talk over me. Furthermore and most importantly, he angrily issued the following statement: “Get your money back. Leave! No problem. I’ll refund you in full.” The combination of the unacceptably dirty state of the property, the filthy bedsheets, his unhelpful and intransigent response to my complaint and the offer of a full refund led us to our decision to leave the property forthwith, having been fortunate enough to be able to secure alternative accommodation for the evening after our initial conversation with the owner. Sadly when we called to inform him of our decision to leave, he promptly reneged on his offer of a refund and instead made a derisory offer of compensation. He continued to argue about the state of the property. He made an unfounded accusation that we were choosing to abandon the property as we had changed our minds at the last minute. He also make entirely inappropriate comments regarding our choice to leave the property and your opinion of its effects on our 8-year old son. We are still attempting to secure our refund from the property owner, with Sykes having been entirely ineffectual in negotiating on our behalf. We were forced to abandon our holiday as a result of this episode, and our first booking with Sykes will also be our last. The fact that they continue to allow a property owner with such low standards of hygiene and such contempt for customers to use their site is a damning indictment of the so-called service that they provide.
