• "Absolutely beautiful cottage in an amazing location."

  Cosy lounge and dining area. Spotless and well equipped. Beds are comfortable and warm. We loved the patio area and the pool table was an added extra. Less than one minute to the amazing beach and two fabulous pubs with great food. Bakery, shop, fish and chips all in the village. You can hear the sea and river if you leave the windows open which I loved Loads of parking and enclosed front and back to keep dogs safe. Great communication with owner. We have already rebooked. Highly recommended

• "The cottage was lovely as always."

  The only thing was….there was no hot water! Mr Roberts came round on Saturday, said the plumber had not switched it back on. So, I had a shower - finished - and no hot water! Mr & Mrs Roberts had gone over to Crete or Corfu - and left us with no hot water for a week! However, what with hot water from the kettle - we were fine (ish!). It doesn’t stop us from coming next year!

• "Absolute gem of a property!"

  This was our second stay at Pen Y Bont and it doesn't dissapoint. Aberdaron and especially Uwchmynydd are special places to us as a family and Pen Y Bont is the perfect location for a family to explore the area! We can't wait to book again.

• "We love this house."

  Perfect what what we want from our holiday. Amazing location, great size. Kitchen has all you need and more, this makes all the difference (a few pizza oven trays would be the cherry on top) The bathroom could do with a deep clean but nothing major. We've already booked for next year and don't see this house not being part of our holiday for the foreseeable future.

  Cleanliness and location were second to none. I would say the best we have ever stayed in. Owner was on hand if we needed but it was not necessary. We all enjoyed our stay, dog included. Just booked again for a short break in September. Looking forward to returning.

• "Overall a fabulous cottage with an ideal location."

  We really enjoyed our stay and were lucky to have fabulous weather to show Aberdaron in all it's glory. The local cafes fish and chip shops and pubs were fantastic and my happy place Whistling sands was amazing. Owners were nearby if needed and very helpful. Will definitely book again, an excellent location to properly chill and relax .

• "A really nice , well maintained place in the middle of Aberdaron ."

  The home is suitable for elderly and disabled except that there is only one toilet in the whole house . The shower is great but , as it has a large base could do with a couple of grab rails for elderly /disabled folk like me. We have tried most of the rented properties in Aberdaron that accept dogs and this is by far the most suitable for ourselves . Do think though that many of these properties in Aberdaron are getting rather pricey . Looking for something in early September but cannot find one suitable yet . P.J

  It ticked all our boxes, including being very clean, comfortable and warm, with a great log burner ( generous supply of logs provided), a well equipped kitchen, great TV package, private parking and in a fantastic location in a lovely place. The beach is literally a few minutes walk away from the doorstep, as is the local Spar and a Bakery, and a very friendly hotel overlooking the bay. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back again.

• "We have stayed in a few Sykes cottages and this one did not disappoint ."

  It is very well appointed being in the middle of the village literally over the road from the spa which had absolutely everything we needed including my favourite wine ! There are all the facilities in the cottage you could need for catering for yourselves so we stayed in and cooked our own meals nearly every day . The log burner was a fabulous bonus and was easy to use . The cottage was easy to keep clean and tidy even with a dog and having direct access to the back door meant coming back from a walk on the beach we could dry the dog off before bringing him in . We used the washing machine and it even had a surer to get washing dry on and a line and pegs for summer months . The pool table was a fabulous bonus although a bit cold to be out there at night the boys enjoyed it . There was always plenty of hot water and a fabulous shower . The owners were only next door but didn’t interfere at all but came straight away when we needed some help with the heating timer. Having the bakery next door was nice for fresh bread pastries and cakes . The beach is literally a minutes walk away and even at high tide there was enough beach for my dog and his ball to run up and down . Do note that dogs are not allowed on the beach between April and September . And also the chip shop gift shops and cafes are all closed this time of year . Food is available at one of the two pubs which was very nice and also allows dogs in the front rooms. All in all a fabulous weeks stay with everything we needed . Highly recommend .

• "The best part about this property is the location as it is really convenient for shops and beach and it was clean and well maintained."

  The loft bedroom is lovely and spacious with a lot of light. The negatives are - It could have done with more kitchen utensils such as a cafe tiere and some decent cups (cups big and chunky). It does have a filter coffee machine which is very outdated in this day and age. A dishwasher in this size of property is expected to maintain as this would maintain hygiene. The washing machine is old and could do with updating. The age of the property is that there is probably some damp which you could feel in the downstairs bedrooms and sitting room. The TV was difficult to work out as it is Aire TV and not straightforward. All in all it was a reasonable stay but not sure I would book again due to comfort.

• "The cottage is beautiful, location perfect."

  It is listed as having tumble dryer, which was nowhere to found, we could not use pool table, as it was covered and two old freezers in room and work going on. The bed in upstairs room, the mattress is just like sleeping on bare springs, I had to sleep on top of duvet for some padding. The downstairs bedroom TV did not work, I tried to contact owners who were away, they sent their daughter, but we didn't hear her and dogs didn't bark, so that wasn't resolved, the microwave kept blowing fuses, which we bought to replace, but gave up with that. There were no starter logs and kindle for fire, which is stated there would be. All this spoilt our much looked forward to holiday.

• "Had a fantastic late November weeks stay at Pen Y Bont."

  The cottage is very cosy and we really enjoyed nights in front of the woodburning fire. Pen Y Bont has all the facilities you could wish for and more, we were very comfortable indeed. Owners Iain and Wilma are very welcoming/helpful and live nearby if required. The cottage is perfectly situated in the village, a stone's throw from the beach and all amenities. Aberdaron is obviously pretty quiet at this time of year but still has two pubs, a bakery and a Spar open to keep you going. Only went in the Gwesty Ty Newydd pub during our stay, situated right on the beach, had a couple of very nice meals in there, dog friendly in the front bar too. Aberdaron is well situated for touring the peninsula and would highly recommend Pen Y Bont as a place to stay, we would definitely like to return one day

  The bottle of wine was much appreciated. Coat hooks would have been welcomed in the porch area. The shower was very powerful and it would be worth warning guests to turn taps on only slightly as the shower tray can overflow. These are only small points in an otherwise excellent cottage and would definitely recommend to others.

• "This feels like a very mixed review."

  There were a lot of pluses to this cottage, it was very clean and well maintained as well as well located - however vastly overpriced. I suspect that this was because of the demand for such places due to covid and understandably there is a need to recuperate losses from the last 18 months. However, our biggest disappointment was the internet. It was desperately poor and we could only access it in the top bedroom or outside at the front of the house. Ordinarily I might have been able to have forgiven this, but given the price we paid I have had to score lower than it probably would have scored in a normal year.

The cottage has always been cleaned to a very high standard, but with the covid restrictions the place had a deeper clean if at all possible and everything was sterile. They have hand sanitisers in the front porch for you to use and sterile wipes for surfaces. Every care had been taken to protect the customer and the villagers during these unusual times.
