• "Stunning cottage in a beautiful location, me, my partner, 1 year old and my dog stayed here for a week from 13th-20th December."

  We wanted to sight see quite a lot of Wales so wanted to stay somewhere that wasn’t to long of drives to get to each place. You can get to most places if you want to travel Wales in about 45m-1h, we also drove to Chester Zoo for my daughter’s 1st birthday and this was about an hour away. Each drive was a beautiful scenic drive! The cottage was clean and comfy and was even decorated for Christmas! Hot tub was amazing and the garden is huge for our dog that we took! Communication was great, if I ever needed anything, I could just call or text. We will be coming back to your cottage one day, thank you! X

• "Wonderful cottage with all the facilities that you could want, the hot tub was lovely after a long day sight seeing."

  Wi-fi could be better but I guess that's just down to the area where the cottage is situated. Will be looking to return in the near future.

  The hot tub was great clean and well maintained. This is a great location to visit all parts of Wales. Would definitely recommend visiting we will be back in summer can’t wait.

• "If it’s possible to move the shed across that would be a big positive, As the view is amazing and the shed does block most of it when in the hot tub."

  Other than that fantastic place.

• "Cottage was clean & comfortable."

  The Hot tub was lovely but we think it should have been available to use on our last night as it being out of bounds from 12.30 on the last full day seems a bit excessive. Understand with the location it's perhaps difficult but the TV was disappointing - didn't have channel 1 or 3 and ITV hub wouldn't work and all channels seemed to buffer or freeze a lot. Wi-fi a bit slow but again, perhaps the location doesn't help that. We also think a nice addition would be to have a shelf in the shower. The log basket for the wood burner may be better kept outside as there were a lot of huge spiders. All in all though, a great stay.

  This is a great base for exploring North Wales. This place is absolutely lovely! I have already booked a return for next year.

• "Lovely location and property."

  The hot tub made the stay for us! We did feel we could smell damp in the lounge and hallway. There was some mould on the walls in the top bedroom. There was a wardrobe but no coat hangers! The details said a utility room but this was an outside room not part of the house so a little misleading. The hot tub was fantastic and hot every day with no issues but the shed spoilt the view. If you moved it out of the way it would be 10/10!! Beautiful location though and lovely site.

  Fantastic views and wildlife around, made all the more enjoyable by watching from the hot tub!

• "We had a lovely stay here, the scenery is stunning and the cottage had everything we needed."

  I did find it a bit disappointing that we're unable to use the hot tub on the final night and wondered if there was anyway to change this? I also feel it's a shame the shed has been put up in front of the hot tub as this blocks the otherwise stunning views from the hot tub. All in all a lovely stay and friendly host.

• "Lovely cottage with a fabulous hot tub, we had a great week."

  Located in a beautiful spot. It would have been useful to have more chopping boards and further clothes storage in the main bedroom, the wifi is also a little slow, which is expected given the location. However, overall this is a really great cottage and we’re planning a return visit!

  The garden and hot tub are beautiful with amazing views. We had rented Granar too and it was nice and easy nipping between the two accommodations.

• "Our stay was nice enough and the location was nice."

  For the price we paid I'd have expected things like towels etc included, seems a bit tight not to. The bed and sofa aren't overly comfortable and the kitchen table is tricky to get 4 people at. Overall everything was fine but it's little touches it was missing. Plus the WiFi is utterly useless which makes watching TV impossible too.

• "This is a fantastic property with beautiful views of the Welsh countryside."

  It's a shame the shed blocks some of the beautiful views but you can live with that! Especially when you are gazing up at the stars instead in the evening! We have stayed here before and it's a fabulous place. Sadly it wasn't quite as clean this time round. The floors could have done with hoovering and mopping (we are a shoes off and live in socks or bare feet family, so we really noticed the muck) and the bathroom needed a good deep clean. But apart from that, absolutely joyful. You need to change the listing as there is no dvd player for the TV and the Freeview TV channels are hit & miss and all over the place. But it was Christmas week when we stayed so plenty of games to be playing instead and lovely walks to go on. Would absolutely recommend this property to everyone as it's such a lovely place and generally well cared for. We would love to return one day.

  Thank you for taking the tie to write your feedback. I have relayed this back to the cleaning team to ensure our guests are met with the highest possible cleaning standards in the future. I am thrilled to hear that you loved the property and enjoyed your Christmas break. Thank you again. Property Owner

  There are a number of holiday cottages on site and we were in awe, they are all finished to the highest standard and surrounded by gorgeous, postcard-perfect scenery. You are surrounded by wildlife, we saw bats, swallows, the sheep and lambs, cows, and even saw a hare! The cottage was absolutely spotless. It felt spacious yet very cosy. There were even mini football goals in the garden outside, we had so much fun! The location was perfect for exploring all of North wales, its very central, and a scenic drive to get everywhere. I can't recommend highly enough. And the hot tub.....what a bonus! We loved it all, the owners have clearly spent a lot of time and money here and it shows. I was sad leaving, can't wait to come back.

  Underfloor heating meant we never lit the log fire but it would be handy if there was a box of matches. Really enjoyed the hot tub but were not told it was drained and refilled on Thursday so we could not use it on the last night. Really good and will definitely come again.

• "Beautiful cottage with very clean facilities."

  Only small issues was a lack of a personal touch. In other cottages we had stayed in, there was a local welcome pack like Welsh cake or bread. And also guides or pamphlets of local things to do. Also had trouble with the heating system, seemed to be locked and it got very hot in the evenings, even in Feb. Views were amazing from the hot tub and everything we needed was there. Would stay again.

  ! We went for Christmas and were not disappointed! It's absolutely beautiful. The facilities are wonderful, including the hottub! The area is lovely and quiet. We spent some lovely evenings in the hottub under the stars. There is everything you could ever need/want in the cottage. The owners have thought of everything. (the only thing missing is a dvd player. We took Christmas movies hoping to watch them over the week but the TV doesn't have a dvd player. Not a big problem....there were so many other things to be doing!!) Beautiful, huge garden for the kids to play in. Very close to Bala and Betws y coed.....perfect for days out. We would 100% recommend this cottage (and the owners) and Sykes to anyone! We are already wondering when we can return! Happy customers. Thank you

  The only slight thing to let it down was very dirty crockery and stuck on food in the pans, which we had to clean thoroughly before using. We believe it because the dishwasher as that was filthy inside too.

  Thank you for your feedback, great to hear you had a lovely time. I will feed back the comments about the dirty crockery and dishwasher to the owner to get this resolved. Property Owner

  My wife and I with our two young children had the best holiday there. The hot-tub was truly the highlight for us, but it would be doing the accommodation a huge disservice if we said that was the only great thing about this cottage. The underfloor heating made walking bare-foot on the beautifully tiled floors a luxury. The complementary logs for the log-burner in the living room made for a lovely cozy evening in with the wife. The garden was a great size allowing the children to play out and run around in safety. We even flew the kite that was left for us in the garden shed. The owners were lovely. Oh, and did I mention how peaceful it was and how great the view was? The cottage was exactly one year old on the week of our visit, but it still felt brand new. Would we consider going back? Most definitely.
