Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"We had a very special family weekend to start off my 70th birthday celebrations."
The house was everything you could of asked for.
So spacious, extremely well equipped. All the rooms very comfortable
And the log fire was great in the evening after a full day out and about.
The hot tub was lovely and theraputic. Just what we all needed.
Thank you for an excellent stay. Great fun had by all.

"We had a wonderful stay at Highgate."
There were 3 generations staying the week and although it is definitely a house of stairs we found it to be comfortable and very homely. The house had everything you could need being away from home with the added bonus of a hot tub, which we benefited from.
The town of Llandudno is beautiful amd the people are very friendly and welcoming. We used the house as a base to explore much of North wales and had a fantastic time. We will be back!!

"We had a lovely stay at Highgate, everything we needed was provided, very comfortable and the hot tub was a great place to unwind on an evening!"
After reading a couple of recent reviews about the cleanliness I was a bit worried as we were taking 2 toddlers with us but we need not have been worried as it was spotless! All credit to the cleaner who we met when we arrived, and who communicated with us throughout our stay. A fantastic holiday.

"Issues with the property include, bath not very nice, lots of enamel has come off, mould around the shower, chipped cups, bedroom door knob kept falling off, curtain pole end fell off, hot tub did not get tended to in the week we were there, we were unable to use it half of the holiday as it smelt awful, steps to the hot tub are what I can only describe as caravan steps that were all rusty and didn’t face the hot tub meaning one of our party could not even get in, jets on the hot tub worked for 30 seconds if you were lucky, oven was very dirty, the washer and dishwasher had an offensive smell like it was damp and had been left like that for a long time, the smell even got into our clothes we washed in the washer meaning we couldn’t use it again after that, board games should be thrown away as they all have bits missing- I understand this is an extra but no point with them being there."
Wi-Fi was diabolical not one device would play when we connected to the internet, meaning that the member of our party who needed to work couldn’t. We txt the people that gave us our door code, for them to respond and say they were aware of the issues and that the house will close in September for refurbishment, that didn’t help us at all! I could carry on but these were the main issues.

"Excellent stay at Highgate."
Place was quite unique in design and was nicely situated to walk to most areas. The house itself was well equipped and the hot tub is always an added bonus.
We had a challenge operating the tv initially but the owners were quick to come round and see if the issue remained. They were very friendly and offered us tips on the recycling (which is very particular in north wales).
From highgate there are some nice walks that were actually documented in the welcome pack.

"Below is an email I sent to Highgate property landlord."
1. When we arrived at your property there was no welcome package, with this I mean; a small bottle of milk, few biscuits, bottle of cordial etc just to allow us to have a cup of tea and a little break before navigating ourselves to local shops. I think it's important thay clients have this considering most people would have driven long distance to get to your property.
2. You kindly asked us to water your plants which in my book is not our responsibility considering we were on holiday but we went ahead and made sure your plants were watered daily.
3. You advertised your property as having a barbacue grill which we didn't find and you only provides us with one after we asked for it.To add on to this the grill was still in its box and your expectation was that we assemble it for you even though it was part of the package we had already paid for. Again we obliged and did the best we could assembling it. We could have made a fuss about this because it took us a lot of time from our holiday to try and build stand but we didn't because we are aware that such things happen.
4. To be very honest with you, your property was tidy but not as clean as you made it up to be, it was dusty especially in the kids bedrooms behind radiators etc but again we got on with it because we didn't want to ruin our holiday.
5. We couldn't find any bags to put the laundry and an instruction from sykes website stated we could leave dirty laundry in a pile in the bathrooms which we tried to do .
Your cleaners only had to strip 2 single beds, remove a few food items from the fridge, clean a dressing table and collect a bag of recyclable bottles which was outside already and you decided to charge £100 from single mothers who were simply trying to give their children a bit of a nice holiday.
Sorry for rumbling on but I thought I'll let you know how I felt. I also understand that you are only doing your job so I understand if you decide not to do anything about this email.
Thanks

"Enjoyed our stay at the Highgate, lovely house that just needs a bit of modernising through the bedrooms."
The stairs to the top floor has a large gap to the side that could do with being covered or a bannister to prevent any accidents happening. Although baby gates are provided they weren't the easiest to work. The views and location are fantastic and would highly recommend. Philip was very friendly and helpful at advising us of some places to visit and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The pictures don't do the house justice as I think there has been some rooms that have been modernised. The hot tub was nice but would benefit some solar lights. Overall we had a fantastic stay

"Highgate is a house we would visit again in view of the fact that measures were underway to repair damaged furnishings and improve the facilities."
We were disappointed that a couple of things were not there that had been advertised, but we expect those to be remedied for future guests. There is a wealth of generous giving in all that is provided at Highgate and we felt very well looked after on arrival. The house is spacious and full of character, whilst being ideally situated for families and individuals alike. We wish those who own or are responsible for the provision of Highgate, all the very best in their 'work in progress' at Craig y Don.

"When we arrived at the house the kitchen facilities where filthy."
We spent a number of hours having to clean things when we where all tired due to our long journey. There was bacon fat in the fridge and all appliances where really dirty. We didn't use the hot tub as we where concerned about the cleanliness due to the state of the kitchen. We where compensated 100 pounds but feel we should have received more due to the impact this had on our stay. We paid a lot of money to stay at Highgate for the week and we shouldn't have had to deal with what we had to deal with. The property is nice but the cleanliness needs to be looked at.

"The house is lovely."
All of the beds were great and the kitchen/loving areas were lovely. I would limit your party to 8 though, as the sofa bed was pretty hard.
It was a lovely touch to have some fresh bread and a few essentials provided for our arrival.
Phillip was really lovely, and gave great recommendations on what to do in the area.
The only thing we would change would be to put in an extra shower - 1 with 9 people was a bit of a squeeze (there is a bath, but we didn't really use it)
Also, make sure to chat to Phillip about the housekeeping deposit, so you don't get caught out on its return. We were unaware that it was to be returned via bank transfer, which was frustrating.

Where you’ll be staying
LLANDUDNO
Conwy 4 miles, Colwyn Bay 6 miles, Snowdonia 20 miles.
Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey. For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town has an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy and visiting orchestras, boasting a programme that is second to none - all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away - there's plenty to see and do!
Please note that this property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of 150 GBP, payable upon arrival at the property in cash only. Note: Property has a 100 GBP hot tub supplement that must be paid for hot tub to be in use. Please note: This property has a min of 3 night stays.
