"We had a lovely stay at the house."
Very clean and well equipped. Only the explanations about the washing/drying machine could be more detailed. Eg. How to tumble dry only or just not at all... Very nice welcome basket.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are so glad you enjoyed the stay in North Wales and enjoyed the samples of the Welsh local produce. I'll double check the washing machine instructions sheet, that is supplied in the washing basket , to ensure that it's as clear as possible. Safe journey home . Property Owner

"Absolutely loved this house & our stay & it deserves all of the 5*!"
Really appreciated the generous welcome pack! Would stay again & would also recommend. Can't think of anything we didn't like or anything we needed that wasn't there We were disappointed to get home & find we'd accidentally left some lovely crisps behind but maybe someone made use of them :-) :-)
Thank you for the positive feedback . It makes it all worthwhile when guests have a great time. Property Owner

"We have been visiting North Wales in holiday homes for the past 10 years & this is by far the most outstanding house we have ever stayed in."
This house has a beautiful homely feel & when you open the door upon arrival it certainly has the WOW FACTOR!! The welcome pack was a lovely idea & full of goodies to share & the locally produced home made ruby grapefruit marmalade was divine & enjoyed by everyone. Every room is spacious & beautifully decorated throughout & there is plenty of seating area for everyone to relax in the evening with their feet up whilst watching movies & enjoying family tme together. The big Farmhouse kitchen is lovely with plenty of room & fully equipped for cooking family meals with the added bonus of a dishwasher & a sepearate utility room for doing the laundry...marvellous!! The bedrooms are all spacious with lots of storage & beautiful comfy king size beds with crisp clean sheets & we all slept really well every night & didn't want to get up in the mornings LOL!! The views are simply amazing & the only thing you can hear in the beautiful gardens is the variety of birds singing...this house is immaculate throughout & absolute PARADISE & we have all been so chilled & relaxed there & even though the weather has been brilliant sunshine all week apart from 1 drizzly day we have only ventured out twice as we enjoyed sitting out in the garden together so much. This has definitely been the best house we have ever stayed in & we will most definitely be booking to return next year.
We are so glad you had a wonderful North Wales holiday. It's a pleasure hosting when we get positive feedback. Looking forward to seeing you next year. Thank you/ Diolch ( as they say in Wales). Property Owner

"Hands down the best rented holiday accommodation I've ever stayed in."
Wonderful property in a beautiful setting. The welcome pack with a homemade jam, Welsh tea, milk, butter, shortbread, etc. was a really lovely touch. We couldn't have asked for more and I've already recommended it to everyone!
We are so pleased you had a good time in North Wales. It's always lovely to get positive feedback and extra special if Ty gwyn cottage leaves you with fond memories. Thank you so much . Property Owner

"Ty Gwyn was even more stunning than the photos do it justice!"
We arrived in a torrential downpour and were soaked to the skin just bringing the bags inside! However on entering this was all forgotton very quickly, the property is beautiful, so welcoming and homely and warm , the fire was roaring a short while later , the generous welcome pack was devoured and I've never known our family settle into a holiday home so quickly! Substantial comfy sofas to sink into and space for everyone to bagsy a top seat! Beds and bed linen good quality, and it makes a real difference! as were all the home furnishings and kitchen equipment. The TV and music facilities were very welcome . I also have to mention the lighting . Thoughtful and well designed - added to a lovely ambience everywhere. As for the picture windows and breath taking views , can't put into words ... we watched torrential downpours , bright blue skies, rainbows, gale force winds and enjoyed it all! Thank you
Thank you for the positive feedback . We love it when guests enjoy their stay. So glad the weather didn't spoil your north wales adventure. I'll pass on your gratitude to the local team who work hard to get the place comfortable for everyone. Property Owner

"The cottage was absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived."
We had a lovely welcome pack and the table was set perfectly. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed the lovely log burner on the cooler days. The cottage was immaculate and finished to an exceptionally high standard with everything you could possibly need. We. look forward to returning and will be sure to book again once the 2025 dates are released.
Thank you for the positive feedback. So glad you had an enjoyable stay in North Wales. Property Owner

"Ty Gwyn Cottage was amazing!"
It lost certainly had the wow factor. The large lounge has floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views of the countryside, the log fire made it so cosy and warm. It was so comfortable that it didn't matter that they weather wasn't too good as we were happy to spend time on the property. The kitchen had thatvrral farmhouse kitchen feel about it, with everything you could need to prepare a family meal. I have never slept in a bed more comfortable and had the best night's sleep, then waking up to the stunning view from the master bedroom. I am a real fuss pot when it comes to cleanliness and I can honestly say that Ty Gwyn was spotless plus the towels smelt gorgeous. We loved it so much that we want to return next year. Shon and Beth were really lovely and there was a welcome pack and card waiting for us on our arrival, which was a really lovely touch. I would definitely recommend this property. I would rate it as 5 star.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback . It makes our role so much more rewarding when guests have such a wonderful time in North Wales. We would love to have you back next year. Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning property went with my husband, mum and son (aged 3)."
We can’t fault anything and we had a fantastic week. More than enough room for us plus a bathroom each. Amazing views and thanks to the weather lucky enough to eat outside every night. Thank you for a fabulous holiday

"We had a wonderful stay our only gripe would be to put blinds in the bedroom windows where there is no curtain or wooden shutter."
As the very early morning light came in and woke us up. but we have really enjoyed our stay ...
So glad you had a good stay in North Wales. Thank you for the positive feedback. The cottage is quite a unique design, and we must confess we've struggled to get any blind manufacturers to supply anything suitable for the high level glass ,but we will keep on looking. Property Owner

"We have just returned from a really enjoyable stay at the lovely Ty Gwyn Cottage."
There were four adults staying at the cottage and we all agreed that we couldn't fault the venue. The views are wonderful, the cottage clean and well equipped and the furnishings are comfortable and stylish. We would recommend this cottage without hesitation.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We'll pass your appreciation on to the local team who keep the cottage spick and span. We love the views . Via the guest book I heard you liked the nature reserve, which is our back garden, and were entertained by the rock climbers. So pleased you had a great time appreciating what north wales had to offer. Property Owner

"The house was absolutely beautiful and we loved the welcome pack with the card."

"We had an amazing time."
Beautiful views and everything you could ever need. Loved the wood burner. Also a huge thanks to Joanne for her help whilst we were at the cottage. If the owners decide to rent the cottage again next year we would love to come back.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are working with Sykes on releasing the 2023 and it would be lovely to have you back. So glad you enjoyed the views. We love them. I've passed your gratitude to Joanne. Property Owner

"An absolutely fabulous stay in a fabulous cottage!"
The views are stunning over Snowdonia and should the owners decide to rent the cottage again next year we will be returning for sure. Although there were five of us staying, there was still sufficient room to spread ourselves out, relax and have a drink of wine in the evening while taking in the warmth thrown out by the terrific log burner. A truly lovely holiday indeed, thank you.
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. It would be a pleasure seeing you back in North Wales next year . Thank you for the lovely feedback Property Owner

"This is truly a beautiful home."
The perfect blend of old and modern. Packed with little luxuries - from the rain shower, the fireplace, the full Alexa system or the HUGE Smart TV (with Netflix!) to a very lovely welcome pack - with some Welsh groceries (the best jam!!!) ….everything is so wonderful coordinated with each other.. with the charm of an "old" accommodation, a MORE THAN 200 year old grandfather clock from the family (a real gem) and so much attention to detail. The view from these huge windows is amazing! The real seclusion was another luxury moment for us - QUIET AND PRIVACY are very important to us. However, the beach is within 10 minutes, Conwy Castle within 20 minutes and Lladando Pier around 30 minutes away. In every point I would give 6 out of 5 stars - our only point of criticism: it could have been a little cleaner - but we cleaned for 5 minutes and everything was fine. thank you very much! We'd love to come back! If you are ever in Germany, then feel free to contact us! Nancy & family
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. So glad you enjoyed North Wales . It would be lovely to see you back. I've passed your comment on to the property management team. Safe journey home. Property Owner

"We came to the cottage for a lovely, relaxing and peaceful holiday."
The cottage was beautiful and the pictures did not do the cottage justice. The cottage was clean, tidy and very comfortable to stay in. We had a wonderful time in Wales. We celebrated a 50th birthday here and also made a nice Sunday dinner which was delicious. Everything you could need is in this cottage. Highly recommend and would love to come back here next year again.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, We will pass on your compliments to Peachy clean who do all the hard work. Happy 50th to your group member. So pleased you enjoyed North Wales. Property Owner

"Fantastic property with the most amazing view."
We had everything (and more) that the two of us needed for a relaxing comfortable stay. Thanks to the owners for the lovely local produce welcome gift. Great location, feels rural yet minuets drive from beaches shops and local amenities.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Great to hear you enjoyed Ty gwyn cottage and all the area has to offer. We love the views. Thanks Property Owner

"Great property and lovely setting."

"TY Gwyn Cottage was a welcome delight for a home from home holiday, with a great welcome pack to enjoy."
The views are amazing especially for a summers evening Bbq and a drink. Plenty of room in the cottage and great for a family holiday. The outside cabin is delightful for a cosy chat and get together. Very close for touring what Wales has to offer. All in all it was a perfect stay for family and friends.
So pleased you enjoyed your North Wales vacation . We are glad you enjoyed our cwtch 's quirkiness . Great place to enjoy the views. Thank you for your lovely comments. Property Owner

"The cottage is absolutely beautiful."
The cottage itself is spacious, warm and cozy, with wonderful views out onto the countryside. It was so quiet! The garden area was great to sit and eat or just read a book. It was just 10 minutes down the hill to Colwyn bay, with shops and a huge expanse of beach that never felt crowded. The North Wales Expressway was also at the bottom of the hill, giving quick access to the whole coastline. We went to Chester Zoo (50 minutes in one direction) and Caernarfon Castle (50 minutes the other way). There are tons of things that we didn't get around to doing (Zip lining, Electric Mountain, Conwy Castle - the list goes on). We will definitely be going back.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your North Wales vacation and found the cottage a good base. The area has a lot to offer and lovely to hear you appreciated the views. We love them. Thank you. Property Owner

"We had a great stay at the cottage, the setting is beautiful with great views and peace and tranquillity."
The welcome bag of goodies was a real treat and the marmalade was delicious on toast. The cottage was very clean and we found it very well kitted out in the kitchen. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
Thank you for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your North Wales holiday and we will pass your compliment onto Helen from the village who makes the marmalade/ jam Property Owner

"House is beautiful, location is wonderful."
The views go on for miles. House was clean and homely and lovely note and gift left for us from the owners. Friendly sheep on grass next to the house and cows behind, fascinating to watch. Parking down the narrow lane can be difficult but there is a drive if needed a bit further away from the house. House smelt lovely on arrival, keys and instructions to find were really easy. Family of teenagers really happy and home was very spacious and gorgeous. The pictures really do not do the home justice. Really didn’t want to leave to come home. Had a beautiful week and thank you for sharing your home! Hope you are enjoying your travels!!
So glad you enjoyed North Wales and all the views it has to offer. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Much appreciated. Property Owner

"On arrival we noticed a large cobweb in the living room on the window inside with a dead spider."
I noticed when we got home on a previous review in June someone mentioning cobwebs, clearly nothing had been done. The bedding smelt of BO as did the pillows and towels so we contacted the rest of our group coming the following day to bring their own bedding, towels and pillows. One of our party didn't want to come when informed of the cleanliness issues. We went to make dinner that evening to find burnt old food on a baking tray in a draw, the glasses were dirty as where the nobs on the cooker full of grease. The rails in the large bedroom wardrobe had thick dust on them which would be at least months old. The previous occupants had left kids clothes in the draws showing the cleaner's are not checking. There was also a random sock under my bed which was visible as you walked into the room. In the evening we found another cobweb by the side of a livingroom chair. There are great large windows in the livingroom but had kids hand print over them. We decided to wash the bedding only to find a dirty damp mop cloth in it which stunk and made the washing machine stink also. We couldn't find any black bags for the bin so had to buy them and noticed the bin inside was filthy. The outside had visible cobwebs in the inserts in the wall and all over the ornaments outside which shows no care given to one of the best aspects of the cottage sitting outside. Unfortunately the 7 mother old baby with us tested positive for Covid on the Wednesday, if we had been happy with the cottage we would have stayed but remained in the cottage but we couldn't wait to leave. I have pictures for all the above if you want to see them. You state it's a range cooker but not that it's an induction so we thought it was not working, can I suggest you update your description to say its an induction. It would also be helpful to have a guide on where things are and how to use then, for example the Internet log in was on a board on a hook, so for example How to use the cooker How to use the washing machine How to use the air con How to use the alarm Where to park your car/s I myself loved the fact that there are sheep behind the cottage as did the rest of our party but its not mentioned in your description as not everyone might. I would love to hear back from you as paying over £1,000 for our stay with all the issues is unacceptable
We are sorry to hear that your infant caught covid during your vacation in North Wales and that you had to cut your holiday short. Hope everyone is fully recovered. We thank you for your feedback on Ty Gwyn Cottage and apologise for the delay in responding but as your welcome gift pack documented, we are away in rural USA hiking and WiFI and communication is patchy. To ensure that guests are fully supported in the owners absence, we employ a Property Management team to deliver services to the cottage and guests. We believed this to be sufficient and professional and they came recommended by Sykes.The welcome pack and information details had the Property Management contact details and they were again reiterated in the full information book which is located in the lounge. This information book printed in the Sykes standard format for ease of guest reference has all the instruction details for the cottage. Having been in contact with the property management team they sadly inform us that you did not contact them at all during your stay. They feel that they have not had the opportunity to address any suggested weaknesses of their standard of services. We double checked with Sykes and you also did not contact them during your stay. Please believe us when we say that we have taken all your comments onboard but from the property management perspective, you failed to report them in a timely way so that we could have implemented a satisfactory solution for you. As a precautionary measure the cleaning team have been swapped and a more robust communication programme has been implemented. You will be pleased to hear that all the guests that came to Ty Gwyn Cottage recently have reported no cleanliness issues or given us reasons to be unduly worried about the standard of our cottage whilst we are away from it. With much sadness that you did not let us resolve these issues for you when they occurred and we hope your experience has not put you off visiting beautiful North Wales with all that it has to offer.

"Beautiful house with stunning views."
The owners left us a welcome pack of Welsh goodies & a card, which was a lovely touch. Lots of space with Sky TV and the comfiest beds ever! Lovely patio to enjoy a morning cuppa or a BBQ on a warm evening. Great base to explore everthing north Wales has to offer - which is a lot. It might be useful to let guests know that the parking spaces are in front of the garage but in a different road from the cottage address. Although the house was clean there were lots of cobwebs and the toilet seat in the ensuite was loose. Apart from these little niggles it was a fabulous house, and a wonderful first visit to Wales. We will definately be back.
Thank you for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed North Wales. We've let the property management company know about your feedback Property Owner
