  • "This is the email we have sent to you and had no response: To whom it may concern, I am still awaiting re Response from my previous email in regards to the dog supplement error."

    We have now returned from our stay and are extremely dissatisfied with the misleading and inaccurate portrayal of the property; Frustrating the property photographs show the log burner but it doesn't provide any wood and is potentially not a real burner at all? This should be made clear. The bathroom is in really poor condition with major mould issues and spurting shower that is leaking . Needs attention and appears not being cleaned properly as mould flying off whenever water from shower hits it. Slippery tiled floor and no bath mat provided is dangerous. Really disappointed with quality of property. General theme of stingy provisions left- small and tired towels, not a single dishwasher tablet, not enough washing up liquid, toilet paper or hand soap for 24 hours. The parking was made impossible to access due to the bushes that hadn’t been trimmed. We are still waiting on our refund for the dog that was an error as we didn’t have a dog with us. We contacted you about this ahead of our visit. We would also request a partial refund on the booking overall due to the poor state and quality of the property and was not as advertised in pictures or description. I eagerly await your response. Regards, Jamie Trigg

  • "Superb location for all amenities local pubs, restaurants and Heritage Railway, within walking distance of coastal walks."

    Sarah the caretaker was fantastic and helpful when we had a problem with Smart TV ....user problem not the TV. The only problem we had was we were unable to park outside so used the rear entrance to courtyard, we managed to park inside however the rear gates were falling apart due to age and hard to lock.

  • "Very good location, just few "seconds " from the harbour and high street."

    Managed to park outside near the cottage (parking at the property is impossible unless you have very, I mean very small car). Kitchen well equipped, but important things were missing - no washing up liquid or sponge. No tablets for dishwasher neither. No hand soap in whole cottage. Bedroom ok. But duvet cover for very short for king-size bed. Water - good pressure and hot temperature. Cottage clean. Only bad thing was sofa cover - absolutely cover in dogs hair. But nothing we couldn't deal with vacuum cleaner ourselves.

  • "When arriving at the property it had not been cleaned."

    Dirty bedding on the floor, bins not emptied, microwave dirty. I made two calls to the owner which were not answered and left a message as per instruction on the email. When they did not reply I then ended up making three phone calls to Sykes as we were starting to panic we wouldn't have any beds to sleep in. They also couldn't reach the owners and said there had been a mix up with emails so cleaners hadn't been booked. Sykes organised for some cleaners to come who were lovely and very apologetic even though it wasn't their fault. They then had to clean the house around us while we were making a meal. This was not a very relaxing start to our holiday. We had a builder call in twice, once to check the leaking roof and then to ask when we were leaving as he needed to fix it. The house is very spacious and in a great position but isn't as well equipped in the kitchen as other holiday homes I've styed in. We didn't park in the yard as we enjoyed sitting in it but had no problem parking either outside the front or in the harbour car park. We were very happy with Sykes and grateful to them for sorting our problem out, not so much with the owners and would of appreciated an apology.

  • "Location perfect for Porthmadog."

    Luckily we were able to park outside the property, so parking not an issue for us. Kitchen had everything we needed. 2 "Holiday Let" Bins outside front of property. No mention of them in the welcome info, so no idea if they were for our use. Recycling and Green bin were at the back of the property. Calendar in Kitchen as to when put out Green household Bin, was for 2023. Information on what to do with sheets/bedding at end of stay would be useful i.e. leave on beds, or strip beds and put laundry in a specific location

  • "On the whole I enjoyed my break."

    Two issues (both of which I have already shared with the owner) tarnished what would otherwise have been a 5* review. 1. When I arrived the back yard was full of rubbish. Someone left three bags of rubbish (used takeaway containers) tired up if the yard. The local wildlife (seagulls) had shredded the bags and strewn the contents avoid the yard. The owner applied and gave me a small refund to compensate for the inconvenience and because I then cleaned up the mess myself. I had to, others I could not have allowed my dog to use the yard. 2. The flat roof over the bathroom has a leak. This too I reported to the owner. I used the bathroom water bins to collect the drips. ON THE PLUS side, excellent location. God selection of pubs and restaurants all within a short walk of the Cottage. Ready address to the heritage stream railway only a few minutes walk from the cottage. I really enjoyed my stay.

The property

Siop Da Da is a charming, well-positioned home nestled in the heart of Porthmadog, Gwynedd.

Perfectly located near a beach and local amenities, Siop Da Da offers a pet-friendly, characterful dwelling for a group of five guests, set in a prime position to explore both the coast and the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

Park up to the roadside or take advantage of the sought-after, off-road parking space to the rear of the property, before stepping indoors, firstly reaching the homely living/dining room, complete with original beams overhead, a feature, stone fireplace, and plenty of seating to sink into after a day of adventure.

The kitchen provides the perfect place to cook up a storm, whilst the rest of your family set the dining table, or make up the patio furniture, ready to gather and enjoy an alfresco affair; end the evening with a chilled glass of wine in hand, cosying up around the Smart TV.

Head up the stairs to discover two well-appointed bedrooms; a king-size and a family room, featuring a double and single bed for convenience.

On this floor, there’s also a bathroom with a bath and shower over, whilst a handy cloakroom and utility rest on the ground floor.

Stay local and explore the coastal town of Porthmadog, with plenty of shops, eateries, and pubs to visit, including Tafarn Pencei for some traditional fare, before heading to the beach for a stroll or the chance to try your hand at some watersports; the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways is also a popular, local attraction with families, worth adding to your itinerary.

The nearby town of Harlech is a must-see, with its castle perched atop a rocky outcrop, and its historic port, or perhaps venture to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and historic town walls.

There’s something for everyone to explore in this part of Gwynedd, with the national park within driving distance, filled with lofty peaks and beautiful landscapes, worth exploring no matter the weather.

Enjoy the best of North Wales at Siop Da Da.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

PORTHMADOG

Harlech 5 miles; Caernarfon 19 miles.

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn . The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
