"All was excellent!"

"Our 2nd Sykes holiday and was very pleased a true home from home we enjoy cooking a good breakfast and evening meal and everything we needed was there, cottage was comfortable and homely."
The oven worked but couldn't get top oven grill to come on, the rubber on inside off main oven was broke/ loose. Over all the feel and decor was to a high standard kids settled in well and was nice to come back too after a long day's out. Far enough away from the towns and noise but close enough to travel out to local area's and beach.

"Beautiful cottage, great quiet location to visit North Wales town's and attractions."
Cottage has all the items you can need, including washing machine, hoover, iron. Comfy beds and furniture. Clean with lots of cleaning products under the sink. But no bin bags. There were no white bags for recycling either and general waste bin was already full. Knowing which date refuse would be collected would be a benefit to those staying there. We told cleaners who were sitting in their car outside waiting for us to leave (we left at 10am) and they said they reported it the week before.

"The cottage was perfect, lovely quiet location, very comfortable with quirky touches we loved and equipped with everything you may need."
Owners had thought of everything from all the basics, to things like torches, night lights for children, books, dvds, games, etc. We parked in front of the house on the road, with no problems, and enough room for tractors to get passed. In one direction(going past neighbours) there is a long narrow road, but if you turn around which really easy to do and go past the pub you do not need to go that way at all. The owners were really friendly and helpful and very good at communicating. Whilst in North Wales we had lots of fun days out, but we loved Conwy castle, Snowdon, waterfalls, and going to Rhos on sea to crab off the jetty! The local pub....which 30 second walk....was really nice. Locals very friendly and welcoming too!

"A lovely warm cottage in a pretty location."
Had everything you could possibly need for home from home and then some. Really enjoyed our stay. Communication from the owner couldn't have been better.

"We had a fantastic holiday and the cottage is in a great location for exploring North Wales."
We visited lots of attractions e.g. Portmeirion, The Slate Museum, Great Orme copper mines, Llanddwyn Island and of course, a few castles all within a one hour drive. We loved being so close to Conwy which is a lovely town, and would especially recommend Popty bakery which we used a few times, everything is delicious and great value. The cottage was comfortable, spacious and full of character and we would love to visit again.

"Our family of five have thoroughly enjoyed our week, welcoming the New Year in North Wales."
The cottage was warm, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The kids enjoyed some of the books and games and it was the perfect spot to spend rainy afternoons watching films and spending time together. Despite the very wet weather we managed to get out and explore the area. Highlights included a walk at Cwm Idwal, the Aber Falls circular route and walking the perimeter of Conwy along the medieval town walls. A visit to Bodnant Gardens, even in winter, is a must. Sunday Roast at Y Bedol was delicious and good value. We had a lovely Welsh rarebit, cakes and tea at the Ugly House and also really enjoyed takeaway pies and cakes from Conwy Bakery. Betws-Y-Coed was a lovely town for a wander and to grab some emergency waterproofs. We look forward to returning to the area in the future to tackle Snowdown Yr Wyddfa and to perhaps experience the area in the spring or summer. A big thank you to Paul for being such a communicative host. When we encountered a small issue with the dishwasher on day one, he drove 90 minutes to get it sorted for us. All information was clear and all our needs were provided for.
Thanks Ruth glad you had a good time; hope to see you again soon Property Owner

"OMG, this cosy cottage was fabulous and had everything we needed for a great stay."
It was a teensy bit difficult to park our large car on the single lane outside, but didn't seem to pose any problems for users of the road. The hosts were fabulous, gave us great advice after getting a puncture on our way home after getting lost! Highly recommend this wonderful cottage.
Hi Robyn so glad you enjoyed your stay. Enjoy the rest of your time in the UK. Property Owner
