• "We had a lovely stay at your cottage it was the perfect retreat for our honeymoon, only downsides were there were no games as advertised and it there wasn't anything nearby but it was also lovely to be secluded."

• "We had a fantastic week at this cottage."

  It was a perfect way to spend some quality time with family. The cottage itself is so airy and spacious, we loved the modern feel to it. It had everything we needed practically wise. The views out of the kitchen window were the best we’ve ever had, which made for another beautiful setting watching the sun go down whilst sat in the hot tub. We would like to send a personal note to the owners for allowing us to move this break a year on, as my dad had been so poorly last year when we were supposed to go - my dad was able to join us thankfully and so we will be forever grateful to you for that.

• "We loved our 2 night stay at Sgubor."

  The property was beautiful and very clean. The jacuzzi under that cover looking out at stunning views was perfect. We cannot wait to return and it was the perfect property for what we needed. The only niggles we had were there's no mirror in the second bedroom which would have been very handy for getting ready, and not providing towels of any kind (yes it notes that on the info but shows them on the photos). Such a bulky thing to pack and sadly a few of us forgot them. Overall a wonderful weekend ☺️

• "We had a lovely stay and couldn't have wished for a better location or amenities within the cottage."

  There were a few things that could be improved. Maybe a visible updated welcome pack. There were a lot of spiders and bugs in the property which resulted in us all getting bitten. We have recommended this property to family and friends.

• "We had the best time at Sgubor."

  The standard of acconodation is really top notch and felt like a real luxury break. We had awful weather most days, so the covered hot tub was an absolute godsend. The kitchen is fully equipped and the utility is super handy to keep ontop of all the wet washing from trips to the lake and the beach (or muddy walks in the rain!). The view was absolutely spectacular. Throughout the day as the sky changes, the view gets even better. We came with 3 children and there was huge amounts of space for us to spread out. Yes the WiFi is a bit slow at times, it's a shame you can't use the hot tub on your last night and it would have been amazing had there been bunk beds in the downstairs room, or an option for an extra bed, so the kids didn't have to share a bed, but we had the best holiday and even sat in the hot tub, were looking at dates to book for next year! Elliw really has thoguht of everything and was so helpful and kind. One thing I would say, is take a torch or use the torch on your phone when leaving the hot tub and walk g back to the patio doors... Multiple times I forgot about the steps there and you can't see them in the dark. The accommodation was immaculately clean and really beautiful... We have been googling where the dining chairs are from!

• "Hugely enjoyable stay."

  Beautifully appointed and furnished cottage, which provided everything for both a practical and fun, and comfortable visit. The listing was pleasingly accurate and the standard of the property was refreshingly uncompromising, from the beds and bathrooms to the style and cozy feel of the final result in every detail. A perfect location to enjoy stunning landscapes. The option to use the hot tub later on our penultimate day - beyond 12 noon - would have provided better value, as would removing the need to bring our own towels. None of this impacted an overwhelmingly triumphant and memorable stay.

  We stayed here 4 years ago and always wanted to return. it’s really is like a home from home a fantastic barn conversion in a really peaceful location. The views are panoramic, you can’t beat sitting in the hot tub and admiring them. So much to see and do in North Wales, lots of waterfall walks and of course the stunning walks and scenery of Snowdonia. We visited Portmeirion and Llandudno this year which were stunning. We totally relax when we stay in Sgubor, so we’ve already rebooked for next year.

  Immaculate condition both times! Not a single spec of dust anywhere. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need for any meal type, amazing views. My only suggestion would be to have some kind of heater for the upstairs double room, as it is an open landing it is quite drafty and can get cold up there.

  Very disappointed had no use of hot tub on our last day they emptied them at midday apparently so they hot anoth for next guests who don't arrive to 4pm (fri) following day and it's nothing to do with covid they were cleaned same as usual when we've stayed here before hot tub was emptied morning of your departure when we've arrived hot tub has always been plenty hot anoth for use personally we feel we was robbed of use of it on our last day which we had paid for and reading their feedback book few people feel the same Very disappointing and spoilt the holiday heated towel rails underfloor heating didn't work either but the main issue was hot tub in less than 12 hours that hot tub had reached it temperature there was NO need to drained it till morning of departure

  We're sorry to hear that you are disappointed, we can see that yourself and all guests who had booked was made aware of the hot tub in August 2020 along with other changes during the pandemic. We find that this works better as the hot tub is ready for guests to use on the first night, we found that not performing this the hot tub would not be ready for guests arriving until late that night or early morning the next day due to changing the water and cleaning. Again I am sorry, but I hope it hasn't spoiled your time at Sgubor. Property Owner

• "Beautiful location in a fantastic area of Wales, lots to do within just 30/40min drive."

  The house was clean & beautifully decorated and well equipped. We had a few small issues the first being the hot tub which wasn’t heating - it needed a new part and so we spent the first few days unable to use it. :( The host Elliw however responded immediately & arranged for someone come out to fix it as soon as she could. There is work going on just behind the cottage which we didn’t know about until we arrived - The workmen were lovely & very considerate but we did hear them at around 8am in the morning. The house behind is part of the same development & will be stunning when finished - We’d actually love to come back to stay there!! Overall we had a lovely week and would definitely recommend.

  We loved the morning visits from the cows which come right up to the fence of the properties garden, there’s also lots of sheep near by so if you go during lambing season you get to see plenty. The hot tub is a great touch especially the Bluetooth and a great place place to watch the sun set over the hills, it’s well looked after with daily visits. The separate laundry facilities are a great touch too and have all you needed to make sure no laundry comes home. I agree with other reviews on a clear night the sky is stunning, so star gazing was definitely a highlight. The owner is polite and helpful and they keep the property to a high standard. There are some incredible walks a short drive away, we would recommend the walk around Bala and Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd (waterfalls and woods) If you have children we would recommend Park Hall Countryside Experience (book online on day before 9:30am to save money) The property is around a 25 minute drive to a local ALDI and town with a play area and skate board area opposite next to a river. The property may have others near by but still you feel isolated in the middle of rolling hills, we still felt we had the the level of privacy we expected from the booking. There was building work going on during our stay but we barley noticed it and the builders were respectful and the noise level was barely noticeable. Overall it’s a beautiful property in a stunning location with easy access to the A5 which you can see the occasional car drive by on in the distance but you don’t hear. Can’t wait to re visit.

• "Positives: - Beautifully light, airy, warm house."

  Neutrally decorated and finished to a high standard. - The hot tub is excellent. Great views and spotlessly clean. - All of the furniture is good quality (no dodgy beds or mattresses!) and comfortable. - Plenty of space for 5 people with no issues at all. - Beautiful location. Brilliant having it sit on the A5 for ease of travel but you don't really get any traffic noise at all. - The stars. On a clear night the stars are amazing. Hardly any light pollution around so the sky is so bright and beautiful. Negatives: - Creaky stairs when you are trying to be stealthy and there's a toddler asleep! (Yeah ok you've got me not really an issue but it's the only thing we thought of!) - Maybe put the welcome pack out on the table so it's easy to see and find and add the kitchen manuals into it. Basically highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

  We were not expecting very much which may be why we were so blown away by the location. From the back of the house you have a sweeping landscape that gets the sun all day long! The hot tub made a lovely extra to relax in as the moon lit up the hills and the temperatures dropped. Sykes cottages came up through google as we looked for our location to stay. We stumbled upon Sgubor and the pictures looked great - but they don’t do it justice! The house is imaculate, finished to a high standard and has everything you can want. You get in, settle down, enjoy everything at ease - undisturmbed by anything other than the sheep grazing from afar. I could not recommend this cottage more, in the perfect location (great if you enjoy driving or riding), beautiful warm cottage with all amenities you could possibly need within one of the most stunning locations I have ever been.
