"A nice property somewhat let down by the finishing touches, cleanliness and road noise."
The heating wasn’t working and the property was cold on arrival but the host sorted this after about 90 minutes.
Plates and cutlery had to be put through the dish washer before we could use them, so we had to wait in the cold for our first cup of tea.
Bathrooms and bedrooms were fine, although the bed linen looked clean but dated. The lounge furniture and rug had seen better days.
Previous reviews don’t mention road noise, but this would be a big deal breaker for me in the warmer weather when you want to spend time outside.
Some holiday accommodation is fab, some is ok, this was ok.

"Beutiful house with amazing views and really nicely decorated with quality bathrooms and kitchen."
Some of the finer details are lacking; only 6 wine glasses (sleeps 8) and no glasses for champagne / prosecco. There's no body wash in the showers and no washing up liquid (we had brought our own). We reported the dishwasher as OOO when we arrived, with a lot of standing water in it (maybe blocked so didn't want to risk flooding the propety), and the contact said they'd call round. No-one came or, if they did, they didn't let us know. We washed up manually so no drama but felt a bit neglected. There's no Welcome pack or letter and no previous visitors book (useful for recommendations on local restaurants and walks etc). These are not even niggles and didn't effect our enjoyment... just feel it would be nice to have a warmer welcome.

"Although this property has the wow factor when you walk through the door, it definitely lacks the personal touch."
No welcome pack for the guests Is unusual and not something we have ever come across before. Also no information about the property or comments book, all caring touches.
The clock in the kitchen still needs a replacement battery and the sliding doors in the twin room are jammed.
In our opinion Sannans lodge could be so much more!

"Spacious and comfortable."
Feels clinical needs the edges softened perhaps curtains. Outside area needs attention looking a bit tired and grubby. Bed linen needs updating. Extra pillows provided but no pillow cases. However not bad value for money and the views were great.

"Visited in July after reading great reviews."
Found the property to be in a great location with lovely views to Colwyn Bay.
However, we found this holiday bungalow very disappointing. Although very spacious, it totally lacked that homely feeling. We found a pubic hair in one of the showers, and both showers had black mould in the base. No hair dryer wad supplied, we had to buy one from Argos. Kitchen crockery was lacking and some of the cooking pans were in a terrible state. Bedding was old and worn out. Lou ge settees were well past it, very uncomfortable.
Would we stay again. Definitely not.
It all needs a total makeover.

"Fabulous views from this lovely holiday property."
Extremely spacious and great for a family break. Well situated for travel to all North Wales locations. Lovely village pub with excellent meal choices and very welcoming. Only issue were the directions to find and access the large driveway to the property. We drove around the village and it's very narrow streets before spotting the house high above by walking the street. Directions would been clearer if the entrance to the driveway had been shared in the instructions. Other than that we had a great experience.

"The property is amazing with fabulous views over the bay."
It is very well- equipped and is great for exploring the North Wales area. The only negative we have is the track leading up to the property is very bumpy and rugged and isn’t really suitable for low cars. If this could be made smoother, the property would be perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely recommend.

"Good location and nice sized cottage with fantastic views."
Could have been so much more welcoming though. All small things but cumulatively spoiled the arrival experience and the stay. No welcome pack information at all,no guest book wifi information local amenities and attractions etc. No starter pack for the fire, no milk or anything else left to greet you on arrival. One toilet roll per bathroom with no spares. One clock in the house with a dead battery. Light bulb missing in hallway etc.
As others have stated the driveway is very steep, however we came via public transport so accessed up the front steps which are super steep and due to the overgrown nature of the garden the steps had brambles growing across them making access more tricky.
This listing could be so much better however it just seems to lack a personal touch. Such a pity as the location was great. It wouldn't take much effort to make this cottage much more welcoming and so get your stay off to a happy start rather than a disappointed start.

Loved all the space and how well equipped it was. The views are amazing and loved how close it was to the pubs along the road.
The only issue was the track you have to drive up to the lodge - it is quite rocky and I can imagine some cars could struggle over the rocks and gravely incline. This wouldn't stop me staying here again however as the lodge really is worth it.

"Lovely property with lots of space and view."
However it could do with leaving more toiletries like toilet rolls and washing up liquid as we had to buy our own toilet rolls since there was 8 of us over 4 nights and there was only one toilet roll in each bathroom!
Whilst its ok to empty all rubbish before we leave the property I thought it's abit odd we had to strip all beddings ourselves before we vacate the property, surely this should be the role of property owner and not customers?? It kind of ruin our stay experience abit. Most self catering accommodation do not require their clients to do strip off their beddings. It made a rather unpleasant experience to our stay at the end in my opinion otherwise it would have been an excellent top marks stay. Small advice, it might be nice if property owner use plain white beddings rather than patterned ones as it looked old and dated. The ensuite shower room could do with treating the mould around the ceiling and walls as we had to ensure the doors of the shower room closed before we sleep for fear of breathing in mould spores.
On the whole the house was pleasant to stay minus the minor issues.

"Fantastic lodge in an amazing setting!"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous Lodge.
Lovely & modern , all rooms spacious & very comfortable.
The views are stunning and we particularly loved sitting up on the hill on the seating area within the property grounds. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Excellent location and easy access to places such as Little Llandudno, Angel Bay, Llandudno & Conway Castle. We would highly recommend to anyone to stay at this lodge. There is local shops nearby just done a hill.
* Initially its a bit tricky to find but if you look out for a big sign with big white letters "Llandudno
Welcomes you
Croeso"
* don't turn into first sharp left
Make sure you drive a little past that first sharp left & you'll see a gravel track you turn left into and drive up the hill and it leads you onto the property car park.
We would definitely stay at this beautiful lodge again. Fantastic place. Thankyou.

"A wonderful place to visit."
After using Google Earth to double check access, as mentioned in other reviews, the house is easy to get to. The access slightly bumpy and steep but nothing to worry about. The house itself has been well thought out and is warm and welcoming, which was great for the older members of our group. The wood burner was great in the colder evenings, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. The only downside was the lack of cloakroom outside of using the main bathroom. Even though the advertising shows the view from the front of the property, everything looks good in photos right? Wow! It looks as good, with a view from the living room and kitchen who needs tv?? Can’t wait to return

The property was in a great location and within walking distance of Llandudno (albeit a little hilly on the way back) with sea views from the front. Who needs a big TV when you can see the sea. A walk over to Angel Bay to see the seals is a must.

"We knew the property had a driveway but finding it was a challenge, if it was not for workmen who were repairing the floor due to previous guests we would never of found it as no signage had been put at its entrance, the very steep track was a challenge as its a bit rutty until you get to the property which has tarmac parking area."
First impression was a wow view and a lovely entrance, the whole property has been refurbished to a good standard, the kitchen could do with a few more useful utensils and new baking sheets had to be returned to the owner as they did not fit in the oven in all ways.
The main bathroom was impressive clean and fresh. The bedrooms spacious but lacking in some items, mirrors essential for hair and makeup, hangers for wardrobes and bins. The pillows only one per person and very thin, the mattresses on all beds were functional but lumpy.
It is a shame a toilet off the utility could not have been included in the refurb as just having the main bathroom for up to six people can be challenging, it was for our party which was for only 3 as the main bedroom has an ensuite but in the mornings is occupied.
The main lounge is large and has wonderful views of the valley to the sea. The seats are comfortable and you have space to configure to your preferance.
The general maintenance outside is ok but lacking in the gardening area as an abundance of weeds detracts a little, it makes it look untidy from a superb property.
The heating system is quick to warm the house when the temperature drops which is excellent when their are seniors in the party.
The rubbish needs to be taken down very steep steps (the old entrance route) to a red bin you need to remember the key, alternatively driving on your way out maybe an idea.
Overall the property is an excellent base to explore the area which we did daily. Maybe a better welcome book giving guests a few recommendations to visit and eat would be helpful, a shop owner helped us out with options which were excellent.
Thank you Sally for your feed back, it was very helpful and the issues raised have been addressed

Lots of space, nice and clean, good facilities, great views, and the spacious parking area is a real boon. We found it so easy to get to lots of local places of interest and amenities.
A few minutes on Google Maps investigating the location and in particular the exact location of the gate leading to the drive up to the property and parking paid dividends and made it easy to find when we arrived.

"The house is beautiful and has loads of space."
My children loved running about and exploring. Kitchen and bathroom were lovely. Lots of wood was provided so we could enjoy a lovely fire at night time.
I had read reviews about baking trays not fitting in the oven so took some of my own which were needed.
The one thing that really must change is the drive. It has HUGE holes which could do a lot of damage to smaller cars. Also a sign really needs to be put up at the bottom of the drive. It took us 20 minutes to find the drive and struggled to get in as there was always cars parked very close to the entrance. A simple sign would have made it far easier. Very pleased we arrived during the day and not in the dark.
The house is beautiful and the views are stunning. Nice wee park just down the steps and across the road for kids.

Car park to the lodge not easy to find - we had to ask the cleaners, this should be made clearer in the directions provided as sat nav takes you to the front of the property.
Property lacks personality, its very functional with all the basics you need BUT if you are preparing a nice dinner, there are no nice plates, large bowls for salads, decent glasses etc. For the price there should be more as i stayed at a house in anglesey for less that had a fully stocked kitchen.
In addition the lounge would benefit from lamps to make it more cosy.
Other houses we have stayed in at the same price (£1000/3 days) had welcome packs - i noted in the guest book that these used to be provided, we felt this would have been a nice touch.
