• "We really enjoyed our stay."

  The attention to detail was second to none. They even had doggy towels and doggy biscuits for your dog. The local walks were really nice and they provide you with written instructions so you can find your way home. There's a pub for food really close which served lovely food which you can enjoy infront of the log fire. The views from the kitchen and garden were unreal. Thank you for our lovely stay.

• "Following very closely the owner's advice as to how to navigate the steep, narrow road to the property, I found the experience merely nerve-wracking, rather than absolutely terrifying, and successfully managed to get my C-Max there and back every day without incident."

  (Thank you R&F!) The beautiful property itself is exceptionally cute. It's also well-maintained, and scrupulously clean - exactly what I love about Sykes properties. The views from the kitchen window of the sunrise over the bay on my last day were stunning. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and also on the larger side. Fantastic place to stay for singles/couples. Highly recommended.

  Thanks, Kate, for your feedback. It means a lot to us all to know that our efforts appreciated. I shall pass on your comments to the housekeepers, thank you. Property Owner

  There was a beer cave in the village it was unexpected and very welcoming fantastic array of ales for the enthusiast. The pub a few minutes walk away served excellent food booking recommended. The walk into llandudno was fun plenty to do. The labrador enjoyed his pupachino most places were dog friendly.

  The views are superb and the walks supplied before your visit are great. We did angel bay to see the seals the great orme to see wonderful views and Llandudno which was so clean and pretty. We also drove out to treaddar bay. In the village the Penrhyn pub does the best Sunday dinners and the Crosskeys has the friendliest and most entertaining bunch of locals. A fabulous find so we booked again before we left. Our 4 legged friend Bella loved it especially the log fire.

  The cottage is delightful and so cosy for the winters nights. It was a special treat for us with it being my birthday, our first anniversary and our first holiday away with our 3 month old. Robin and Fiona we great with communication over email, and even provided a travel cot for our little one, setting it up in the bedroom for us prior to arrival. We loved the personal touch of a card to congratulate us on our anniversary. Again to reiterate others, the road is narrow and steep, and takes a bit of confidence to navigate it however after a couple of goes you do get the hang of it. Lovely stay thanks again!

  The furniture is very comfortable and you sleep like a baby in the huge bed. There are two pubs in the village which are really good and the staff and locals are so welcoming and friendly. The owners are next door if you need them for advice, which is also reassuring if you have any problems. ( which I doubt as the cottage is perfect.) The drive up to the cottage has to be carefully manoeuvred as the driveway is extremely narrow! We look forward to returning to the cottage later in the year. Sykes said that the cottage was on one level, WRONG there are three stairs into the bedroom, which for people with mobility problems is an issue.

  The cottage provided a quiet, comfortable home from home, away from the hustle and bustle of Llandudno but within easy reach of all its amenities.

The drive up to the cottage is tight but easily done if you take your time. We had no problems at all. I would highly recommend this idyllic cottage.

Parking is best next to the pear tree as suggested,unless you have a tiny car ! All in all we had a smashing holiday and the weather was great for April ! Would love to visit again ! Dave and Pam .

  Thanks for your feedback. It means a lot to us to know that you enjoyed yourselves. Hope to see you again!! Property Owner

• "I have tried to put off writing this as that will mean our Holiday is almost over… OK here it goes, had a very relaxing 3 nights away at the Craiglwyd Bach."

  . Directions given were perfect to find it. And they were not lying when they advised us of the narrow roads… VERY Narrow, but thankfully we managed them with out any destruction to any part of the car. Walking through the door and all your stress just melts away. Front room is furnished with a couch, chair, Table w/2 chairs, TV & beautiful wood burning stove - lit for two of the nights we were there and kept the room nice, warm & cosy. To the right of the room - Watch your Head… is the Bathroom (Small, as they made use of the space they had, but perfect for what you need to do in there) and the Kitchen. The views from both windows is breath taking. We didn't use the Stove but they have everything needed pots, pans, baking dishes plates & utensils if we wanted too. Then back to the left of the front door – up 3 steps/stairs is a the bedroom with a massive, very comfortable bed. Dressing table w/mirror and a large wardrobe to hang your clothes. Everything was neat, tidy & clean. Could not ask for a better place to stay. PERFECT for a relaxing/Romantic get a way… Highly recommend & will 100% be back THANK YOU Nancy

  Thanks for your feedback Nancy. Very much appreciated. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

  The garden was a plus and our dogs loved it, but it was Also nice that it was enclosed and secure. It was lovely after a day out to come back and sit in the garden with a coffee, and watch the world go by. Seeing the harvest moon rise was a sight I will never forget ~it was spectacular. The bed was absolutely huge and extremely comfortable, and the furnishings were within keeping of a cottage of that age. Carrying our luggage up from the village car park was a struggle initially, as the lane is VERY narrow just before the cottage, and we didn’t feel confident enough to drive up the last part to get to the private driveway, however by the next day we had learned to master it with care. The kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment in it and plenty of crockery. It also had 2 frying pans which were true to their description of being non stick! We were also gifted a Bara Brith plus tea coffee milk and sugar for our arrival. There were also lots of other kitchen items such as cling film, washing up liquid, fabric conditioner, work top spray, dishcloths, foil ,kitchen towels and tea towels ~ all provided for us !!! The cottage is really close to some lovely places. Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno, The Great Orme, Rhos on Sea, and Colwyn Bay are minutes away, and we visited all of these several times. The village pubs are literally 2~3 minutes walk away, and very welcoming. There’s another pub about 1mile away which also does food too. Anglesey, Bettws Y Coed, and Llanberris are all stunning and well worth the visit, and there is so much more to see and do. For rainy days there’s a small book library or dvds at your disposal, plus cards and other games. The owners Robin and Fiona live next door to the cottage, and are there on hand for any problems you may have-but you are given total privacy to enjoy their property, which is really nice. It felt really homely there. All in all it was a peaceful relaxing break, spent in a beautiful part of Wales.

  E parking on village hall - full most of the time only four or five spaces in any event and parking on the road unsuitable as narrow roads and residents parking. The living room tired and not much space - for 2 adults & 2 dogs Lack of things to do unless you drive - two pubs within walking distance both lack atmosphere neither do food so unless you want to cook yourself you have to drive for a meal out

• "The living room was too cramped and very disappointing."

  The sofa & matching arm chair we very soft and took up too much space, in fact most of the space. Siting on a dining chair was not what we expected to have to do on holiday.It was difficilt for one person to sit at the table & the other to try & get past to get to the bedroom. The table was smaill and no lighting near it to do jigsaw or read a book. Lighting in the living room was very low and inadequate. It seems the cottage is loved by dog owners and by those who eat out or sit on the sofa in front of the log fire & watch TV. The bedroom was excellent and the shower/toilet/wash room. The kitchen well equiped except for the old cooker, the grill and oven were unacceptable. Owner was very nice. The road up to the cottage was challenging and the owner guided us up there. It was single track, very narrow with tight bends. That should be mentioned in your description. On the plus side: It was very near our family who we were visiting, and friends at a local church. Hilltop walks from the door. Lovely prom walks & beach at Colwyn Bay.

  Our first experience of North Wales. The cottage was very pleasant and the bed was the best we have ever experienced in all the years of self-catering cottages. The basin in the bathroom would benefit from being an inch or two deeper and with a plug that seals. Kitchen well-appointed but a more modern cooker (with better temperature control) would be better. Anyone who likes old pubs would love the Old Penryhn Arms, which is in walking distance. All in all a very positive experience.

  It is not far away from a quiet beach in the bay, perfect for winding down ( or cooling off if you are a dog ) after a busy day sight seeing. We were welcomed with everything to make that first cuppa and slices of the best Bara Brith. Safe patio area for dogs and a warm welcome at the Cross Keys pub only minutes away from the cottage where dogs are welcome. The cottage on the hillside means you have to embrace the adventure of driving up hill with tight corners but the shared parking is a plus. We managed it with a Landrover Freelander 2. Our hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area.

• "Lovely cottage with loads of plus points but here are a few things that took the shine off it."

  The sea view is obscured by the owners hedge so a little disappointing as this was one of the reasons for choosing this cottage. I expect it is for their privacy at the expense of the cottage's view. The sofa is old and very uncomfortable. Shame, as sitting in front of the log burner on the cold rainy afternoons would have been idilic. Leaving a cottage in a clean and tidy condition is a given but being informed on where all the cleaning materials and hover are and requested to clean the cottage for the next guests is not what I expected.
