• "Enjoyed our stay despite the unsettled weather, the bungalow was very clean and comfortable."

  Wi fi was fast and was able to stream films on the smart tv but could not get free view channels through sky. Some error with sky card. Was very quiet and the near by petrol station sold very cheap fuel and the shop was handy for milk etc.Overhaul would highly recommend. Thanks to the owner.

• "On arrival to the property there was rubbish scattered including an old sink and a tin filled with cigarette ends at the front door, they remained there throughout our stay."

  The security light doesn't come on until you are upon this so is a hazard as well as unsightly. On entering the property there was a smell of damp so didnt give a good first impression. The sofas also felt damp and had an animal smell to them so not very inviting. The kitchen was basic but clean so no issues there although the bathroom had damp and needs attention along with some other damp patches and peeling paint throughout the property. Although I have dogs I do feel the shared garden is an issue as when the owners dogs come out they bark and try to enter the property scaring my dog as well as there mess not being picked up which I picked up so my children didn't walk through it. I also agree with previous reviews about the owner hovering around and making you feel a little uncomfortable. On the last morning there she was in the garden kicking apples and stomping the grass and approaching the windows of the bedroom my children were sleeping in. She could possibly have been looking for any dog mess her dogs had left but this felt uncomfortable for us sat inside and for that reason should probably have seperate outdoor spaces. I also feel the lack of curtains/nets in the kitchen and living room make you feel like your being watched although im sure this isn't the case. Overall I feel that the cottage could have a lot of potential if it was upgraded and maintained/cleaned to a higher standard and the owner enabled guests to have more privacy during their stay. We wouldn't stay there again or recommend to others based on what I have said but would hope the owner will take our thoughts/experience on board and we wish her all the best for her business in the future

• "This property is poorly maintained, it’s certainly not as described, l cleaned up piles of dog mess that the owner completely ignored, we only stayed 2 nights, the owner is in complete denial, I complained and she decided that she would give a £50 refund, a complete joke but I’m not surprised, this is not the first complaint she has had, it’s been reported before but no work has been done, Sykes did not do a follow up inspection to check any work she had said she would do, so who is responsible for the star rating?"

  be aware they will not refund a booking fee even on a property that has received previous complaints, there is no way it’s a 3 star, I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone, I’m not expecting a lot but I do expect clean! The property is on an extremely busy road and although it didn’t cause us a problem as we spent all day away from the property, there is no where to walk a dog other than the garden, it’s got no kerb appeal at all. Very disappointing response from both the owner and the company as in my opinion as a licensing officer, it wasn’t worth any more that £50 a night at the most, there was a dog barking, not the owner’s, this was up until 12.30 at night and started again at 06.30, I can only assume it was from the properties just along the road, lights from the constant flow of traffic as also disturbing as the curtains don’t stop the headlights from lighting up the room. I could go on but to be honest we would never return or recommend, I’m sure the owner will have some excuse but don’t believe a word of it.

  I had a problem with my car and she helped to sort it out. The Cottage was comfortable and cozy. Nice to see bulls in the field next door plus 2 birds feeding their babies in the nesting box next to my bedroom window. The property is on the main road but behind the garage is an area to quickly walk your dog. I didn't find being next to the main road noisy. It's very easy to visit many sites - Anglesey, Llandudno, Conwy, Ruthin etc and right by Snowdonia National park.

• "This is a well resourced cottage, especially the kitchen."

  Everything was really clean and tidy. The smell of damp is immediate unfortunately but with a few well placed diffusers, it could be less obvious. It sleeps 4 but as I was on my own I used the bedroom furthest from the road. It's on a busy road and I would imagine in the summer, especially if you wanted to open some windows, it would be noisy. It's great to have the garden but the owner needs to do better picking up after her own dogs. I wouldn't want to sit out there. Anni was available and helpful and the cottage proved to be a good base for me to explore some of the area.

  A nice small garden. Directions provided told us to look for the Glassblobbery but this doesn’t exist. The service station has a well equipped shop. For dog owners there are no convenient walks close by and the road doesn’t have pavements so it’s necessary to drive away from the property to exercise the dogs.

• "I am being very detailed in my description to help."

  Lovely woodstove which we used some of the evenings which was cosy. The house was adequately equipped, with tea and coffee and oil.... Which was handy. We thought there was going to be a washing machine, which unfortunately there wasn't. This would have been a great help. Lovely light conservatory, but quite dusty. We didn't use dishwasher as there was plenty of hot water. Loved the sink. There were no cloths though to wipe surfaces although there was a nice new sponge. No bin bags to be able to replace, so we weren't able to get rid of the rubbish. The place was very musty and hadn't been aired out, resulting in the air quality being very poor and damp. This was a concern as I have damaged lungs from radiotherapy. It was cold when we arrived, as the lady was away until the Monday evening. (didn't see anyone till Friday morning when we were going out even though she said she would call in on the Tuesday) The heating dials on the radiators were grimy, I cleaned a few. I phoned and we were directed to search the Internet to find out the instructions for the heating. My concern is because I don't feel it was cleaned properly and especially in line with covid instructions. The TV system was old. You couldn't use the TV and dvd player at the same time, you had to change the scart over, it was very basic and difficult to find stations as a lot were unobtainable. The carpets need a deep clean which will help to clean the air and dampness. The bath hadn't been cleaned as there was soap scum which I discovered even after rinsing the bath around before having a bath. These are basic cleaning practices, especially when different people are using the property, and especially in line with covid. The tap system was very nice, but the shower cord would not pull on to switch on the shower, so we were unable to use the shower. In the bathroom, the floor edge/skirting by the bath was in need of a good scrub. It was grimy behind the door. The shower screen seal was in desperate need of being bleached, along with the plastic cover on the window shelf. It was very comfortable and spacious. The part in front of the house that we had to pass to get to the cottage was untidy with pallets and wood lying around. Also it was slated crazy paving but lots had come up and were lying around too, it didn't feel safe to walk on. These are my observations, as cleaning has been my profession. I hope this helps everyone. Thanks, Louise

  Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased you enjoyed the woodburner. I can offer a washing machine on request that is in my outhouse, I would of course had helped if I had known. The carpets are industrially cleaned every March ready for the season, the sofa gets hoovered thoroughly every changeover. The bathroom has also been thoroughly cleaned and maintenance has been carried out in the bathroom. The shower pull cord works and is usually on and I do apologise it if was not on I would have been more than happy to explain how to put it on if I had known. There are two showers over the bath, there is the electric shower and also the mixer shower that runs off the boiler so I am glad you will have at least been able to use the back up shower and that you also had plenty of hot water. The pallets and wood are at my own property and apologies that due to a hand injury I was unable to move them for some time but will look at getting them relocated. The paving has been taken up and guests are currently directed on arrival to a different walkthrough. Property Owner

• "Cottage was very cosy and comfortable, it had everything I needed with the exception of the shower that the owner had told me someone had broken thinking it was the light switch pull cord."

  There us a hand held shower but can be a bit awkward, having said that, the bath is a lovely deep tub so I didn’t mind at all. I would suggest that you open windows in the kitchen when cooking so as not to set off smoke alarms. Log burner gives off loads of heat and makes the cottage so cozy at night- you’ll need to buy logs from the garage but they were only £3.98 per net. Garage is well stocked with everyday items too. The owner, is a lovely lady. Nothing is too much trouble. All in all I had a lovely stay and would recommend it

  Cobwebs in every corner, mouldy bath seal, very very dusty and dog hair everywhere. Couldn't use the communal garden either as it was covered in dog poo and we have a toddler. Would suggest not allowing the dogs to yap at customers who are sitting in the conservatory eating either. My husband and I both agreed, with a better cleaner and perhaps a separate space for the dogs, this would be a lovely property. Luckily, we're used to camping so didn't bother us too much, only that it wasn't clean enough for our daughter who touches everything!

Our smallest was playing on the grass by the flowers- owner then picked up dog muck on a shovel and disposed of it in the flowers in the garden. Privacy is very limited unfortunately.

Looking at the place itself it presents well on first impression and the owner will accomodate needs like the dogs by allowing them free access, she has three dogs of her own which when she is not present can present with ongoing yapping noise that can travel at times, although the white goods are clean they require updating also. These are all things which does not impede a pleasant experience but would enhance it. With updating of the bedding which she stated had had large dogs on it previously and although clean did make us aware of this, on the whole we enjoyed our stay but for future development requires these areas to be corrected for a more perfect stay.

• "Bungalow is excellent but wasn't told the garden is shared with the owner and her 3 dogs."

  Had to leave early due to this. Wouldn't book with sykes again as your not given full information.

• "Nice cottage, just wanted a private access to garden."

  But was not too bad. A washing machine would be more helpful than a dishwasher. A bit mouldy, would not be an issue if I were not allergic to it, but tried to be out as much as possible, so had an amazing holiday. Area very nice, people warm and welcoming. The landlady very nice and helpful.
