"Perfect stay!"
Perfect cottage! Host were lovely! We will definitely return. Stunning and peaceful area. The cottage has everything you needed for a relaxing stay.

"Melin Bach is a beautiful, comfortable cottage set in stunning surroundings."
It has everything you need for a holiday away from it all. If you sit in the garden all you can hear are birds and sheep! Paul and Caroline, the hosts, live on site and are friendly and welcoming and happy to recommend places to go to locally. There are beautiful beaches and places to visit in the surrounding area and the most glorious walks. We have stayed here twice this year and have enjoyed every moment. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful country retreat this is the perfect place.

"Een heerlijke vakantie gehad bij Paul en Caroline, in Cottage Melin Bach!"
Het was onze eerste keer in North-Wales Snowdonia en dit smaakt absoluut naar meer. Melin Bach is een heerlijke plek om naar terug te keren na een lekkere dag in de bergen. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien, en heel sfeervol aangekleed je voelt je gelijk thuis. In de wintermaanden kun je gebruik maken van de houtkachel, maar de verwarming in het huisje doet het ook erg goed tijdens de koude dagen. Huis huisje ligt in een rustige vallei, je moet hiervoor wel een 7 tal km over een smal weggetje rijden om dit te bereiken. Maar als je allemaal een beetje rekening houdt met elkaar is dit heel goed te doen! Als je de restaurants/supermarkten enz dicht bij wilt hebben, dan is deze mooie plek wellicht niks voor jou ;-) Paul en Caroline nogmaals hartelijk bedankt! Hopelijk smaken de stroopwafels :-)

"Melin Bach is a beautiful cottage set in amazing, peaceful countryside."
The cottage itself is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Paul and Caroline were there to meet us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The cottage was immaculately clean and provided everything you could need. It was a great place for our dog as well because of the wonderful walks right outside the door. We loved it so much we have already booked to return in a few months time.

"Everything about our stay was perfect - the warm welcome from Paul and Caroline, the cottage was spotless, homely and well equipped, the location was stunning - we drove out to various locations but were always most impressed by the natural beauty around the cottage."
Thanks to the thoughtful information pack in the cottage we walked to the disused copper mine and swam in the natural pool. Highly recommend this property and hope to return!

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at Paul and Caroline’s cottage."
The cottage was spotless, the fittings were of a very high standard and the setting gorgeous. We never got tired of looking out at the surrounding countryside. Because the cottage was off the beaten path, it was extremely quiet at night- exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend staying here.

The surroundings are breath taking and the cottage was the perfect retreat. Waking up in the gorgeous cosy bedroom was such a treat, I really cant recommend enough. Caroline and Paul were superb hosts and have created a very special place. We will be back.... asap!

"Melin Bach cottage exceeded all of our expectations and more."
The cottage is newly renovated so has all the modern amenities you could want, but keeps the charm in bucket loads. It was so nice to go on long walks in the mountains and return home to the huge roaring log fire. Caroline and Paul could not have been more helpful and did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They even leant us a lasagne dish! If you like mountains, you have to only look out the window to be surrounded on all sides by the snowdonia countryside. Peacefull and tranquil but at the same time in a perfect location to explore the Snowdonia area. We will be back! David and Charlotte

"I had a wonderful weeks holiday at this beautiful cottage."
It is in a lovely & peaceful location but with easy access to so many things to do in this part of the world. I took my dog who loved the outside space. The cottage was really cosy, clean and comfortable and Paul & Caroline were great hosts. I would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to go back again.

"Idyllic location, lovely hosts, can’t wait to go back again"
-
"We had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend the property, it was in such a beautiful loacation away from it all."
Both Paul and Caroline were so helpful and friendly, we would definitely go back and stay again. I would also recommend the staff at Sykes cottages, after initially booking with a different company and arriving at our accomadation dissapointed we had nowhere to stay, I phoned Sykes up and the lady(Kate I think) sorted everything out, we also spoke to other lady who was also so friendly and helpfully, again I would book through this company again.
