"This was our second visit to the property and the condition and comfort were as good as last year."
Its in a really great situation a short walk from both Porthmadog and Tremadog and a short car journey away from the excellent Black Rock Sands.It really is a dog walkers paradise and we can't wait to get back there.
Thank you for your feedback and really pleased you came back for a second time! We look forward to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

"We have just returned from a short stay at 2 Pensyflog Barns - what a stunning property in a beautiful setting!"
The home is super spacious, clean, modern and the views are amazing. It’s only a short walk into the centre of Porthmadog from the accommodation which is tucked away in a quiet corner, the perfect location. We all slept very well in the house, there was everything you could need there too. We will definitely return next year but this time for a longer stay! Thank you to Mark and Jo for the recommendations of local places to eat, we had some beautiful meals. Thank you also for the welcome pack which was very much appreciated! All round wonderful stay.
Many thanks for your amazing feedback! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay so much and will be glad to welcome you back next year. We are glad you found the recommendations of places to eat helpful and that you had some really nice meals. Property Owner

"We booked at short mid week break but could have easily stayed for a longer ..."
We booked at short mid week break but could have easily stayed for a longer length of time, the barn ticked all of the boxes, finished and furnished to a high standard and a really good location for getting out and about exploring the area, we all enjoyed our stay
Thanks for taking the time to give feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your short break. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week in this amazing property, the owners have thought about everything you need to make it a great place to stay."
Very clean and comfortable and the garden is a little sun trap. We would definitely recommend it as one of the nicest properties we have stayed in.
We are so pleased to hear that you had a lovely week! Thank you for your comments regarding the barn and we were so pleased to hear that it was one of the nicest properties you have stayed in. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time in North Wales, despite the weather!"
The cottage was perfect for our needs; very close to Porthmadog and its facilities and a ground floor bedroom for my elderly father. The property was very tastefully decorated with comfortable soft furnishings and a well stocked kitchen. The interior decoration was of a top quality and everything was immaculately clean. Not for publication A small note to the owners. Didn't want to put this in the guest book because everything was wonderful. A small maintenance note - when my father attempted to pull up the blind in the downstairs bedroom the cord just detached from the mechanism at the top. I am sure it is just a simple fix to reattach it but we didn't want to start fiddling about with it in case we made it worse!
Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in the barn and Porthmadog. Regarding the roller blind we have ordered a new chain and this has now been fixed - thanks for drawing our attention to this issue. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"We had a lovely time at pensyflog we could have stayed all summer!"
The welcome gift was a really lovely touch and everything was immaculate. The location was perfect for exploring Wales. The owners gave us some wonderful recommendations and we found some lovely spots of our own aswell. I thought the attention to detail in the facilities of the property was excellent such as kitchen utensils hand soap etc. The only advice I would offer to anyone staying would be that the bed in the main bedroom is quite loud due to the metal frame and we had a little one in a travel cot next to us so the noise from getting in and out of bed would often wake the baby which wasn't ideal but the other bedrooms would have been fine.
Thank you for taking the time to send feedback and give a review of the property. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and appreciated the welcome gift and our recommendations. We will check the metal bed frame to see if there is a reason it was a bit noisy; it could be that some fittings have worked loose and need tightening up. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved our stay."
Comfortable bed, clean house. All the amenities that you need for a relaxing retreat in this beautiful home for a week! Great recommendations for food and drink nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed the view from the main bedroom whilst sipping on morning coffee! Thank you for our welcome goodies, we will certainly be recommending this property to others!

"Lovely stay, from the welcome treats on arrival, to the relaxing living area, to morning coffee in bed looking out over the hills, we had a really relaxing stay."
Great location for walking, cycling, beach action and lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in the town. Lovely and cosy in the winter months, great place to start the New Year. Owners super helpful too. Thanks for a great stay x
Thank you for such a great review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and it was such a good start to the New Year for you all. It sounds as though you made the most of your stay and the surrounding area with so much to do. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"What a beautiful place!"
We all had a fantastic stay and were all blown away by the property. Everything was immaculate, great facilities and perfect for what we needed. I had a 5 month baby so brought a travel cot with us, the master bedroom was perfect with plenty of space and chairs in there to feed him too. Mark and Jo were always at hand to answer any messages and offered fantastic advice on places to eat. Walkable distance into Porthmadog if desired, we had a gorgeous ice cream from Cadwaladers, possibly one of the nicest we’d had! My husband is already wanting to book again and explore the golf courses! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
Thank you for your lovely review and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property. We very much look forward to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"Cottage was fantastic."
Well equipped for all needs and decorated to high standard. Well situated for getting around North Wales and close enough to amenities. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Just one little thing to note the access steps to front door and garden steps could do with some sort of rail to help children and the less abled as they got a bit slippy in the rain.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback and we are pleased that you enjoyed the property. Property Owner

"What an incredible stay!"

"Lovely property, thoughtfully decorated to a high spec."
Everything for self catering was well provided. Well situated for town centre and walks. Suited our family of 6 plus dog. Family was mixed age group from 76 years to 19 years. Although towels are provided, 1 hand towel per bathroom was not enough. Had we known we would have taken more ourselves. This did not change our view, it’s really a home from home. The welcome gift was a really nice touch too and well received. Also thank you to the owners for their restaurant recommendations. I would certainly recommend this lovely accommodation.
Thank you for your comments and we are pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to send a review which is much appreciated and also helpful to future guests. Property Owner

"Excellent stay, comfy beds, very well equipped, loved the view over Moel Y Gest and hearing the woodpecker!"
Ideal bedroom configuration for us and adult son and girlfriend! Missed a washing machine as we run and like to wash our kit out but small detail. Would love to stay again. Thank you

"This is a beautiful holiday home in a lovely location."
It is pure luxury with quality furnishings. It was nice to receive a welcome text and a very generous welcome pack from the owners.The only thing that we feel is missing is a little fence by the stairs in the garden as if a child or a dog was playing in the garden they are in danger of running over the edge. We would recommend this property 100%.

"Genuinely exceeded all my expectations."
It’s a beautiful property with all the mod cons you could ask for. From the moment we walked through the door we were impressed. A lot of thought was put into the little touches; A lovely gift basket, a selection of boardgames in the hall, timer and motion activated lighting, access to a fan, smart TVs in every room and Wi-Fi extenders to ensure good coverage on every floor… This is a place where genuine consideration has been put into every aspect of your experience and I was very impressed. Porthmadog is also lovely, excellent access to boutique shops and multiple supermarkets, and perfectly situated for exploring Snowdonia and beyond.
Many thanks for your review and we were delighted with your response to the property. We wanted to provide a home from home with mod-cons so it was great to hear that we exceeded your expectations. It is also good to hear that you enjoyed Porthmadog and the surrounding areas. Once again, many thanks and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"The barn is beautifully fitted and presented."
The welcome pack of sweet and savoury treats and tea was a really lovely touch. The open plan kitchen and lounge allowed us to have a very sociable stay with our grown up children! The enclosed garden was ideal for our son's Dachshund. Everything had been thought of for a weekend stay, instantly making us feel at home. We loved the location; we felt we were in the country and yet the High Street at the end of the lane: perfect.
Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the barn so much and sounds like you had some lovely family time together. Glad you loved the location, as it does feel very rural and peaceful but is so close to Porthmadog, within walking distance. Property Owner

"This property would be perfect if it had a washing machine, however I would absolutely book again, the property is in a fantastic location and is possibly the best I have stayed in after holidaying with Sykes for over ten years."
The accommodation is fabulous with large well appointed rooms, and a totally secure garden for our dogs. It is within easy walking distance to Porthmadog with a good choice of cafes and restaurants and Cadwaladers ice cream parlour is a must ! and borth y gest ( sea view restaurant) which is stunning and further afield to criccieth you must eat at Dylan’s !! and train station at the end of the road to take you to Pwhelli and Caernarfon. Thank you to Mark and Jo for a wonderful stay, we will be back !
Thank you so much for your feedback we are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and Porthmadog. Thanks for the helpful tips for other guests too. We very much look forward to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"The twin room downstairs would not have been suitable for 2 adults."
Narrow beds, little space & insufficient storage. Should be listed as a childrens room. Our 89 year old mother struggled due to the height and width of the beds. One reason for choosing the property was to ensure that she had a downstairs room with toilet facilities on the same floor.
We were sorry to hear that the downstairs bedroom did not come up to your expectations and that your mother struggled with the beds; had you let us know we may have been able to help with a solution. They are standard height beds and the images are shown on the website. The downstairs bedroom has a double wardrobe and a good size chest of drawers. We would always encourage anyone who has special requirements to contact Sykes ahead of booking to clarify any information regarding the property. Property Owner

"This is a very comfortable holiday cottage in a great location for seeing North Wales."
We really enjoyed out stay.
-
"We had a lovely stay at 2 Pensyflog Barns."
Well positioned for exploring Snowdonia, the Llynn Penninsula and the wider area. The property is modern, clean and well provisioned (A washer/dryer was the only absent item of note for those staying for a week or longer). There are several cottages in the terrace and being a modern conversion the walls are not brilliantly insulated. Our stay was slightly blighted by a group of lads in No 1 on a stag weekend which involved partying until 3am on our first two nights - not great, but no fault of the owners of No 2
-
"House was amazing such attention to detail and great facilities."
The owners have thought really carefully about what you need for a comfortable holiday. A thoughtful welcome gift on arrival. A real gem! Location great with some fabulous walks in the area. We were lucky with the weather and even managed to use the outside space. Big thanks for the use of a beautiful house.

"Elizabeth and Ryan- We Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"
Everything was perfect, we cannot fault anything. Shops nearby, great location for activities, (we went to the zip worlds) pubs, nice walks. Super clean and tidy, had everything we needed it was brilliant. We would happily book again- thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you for your review we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like you made the most of your holiday by visiting local attractions and nice walks. We hope to welcome you back to Pensyflog Barns in the future. Property Owner

"The property was absolutely brilliant."
Exactly as described and perfect for a few days in North Wales. The bedroom was really comfy and plenty of room to assemble our baby’s cot. Kitchen had all we needed to cook a couple of meals. Plenty of flyers and info to inspire places to visit. Brilliant location for exploring both sides of the coast. We hope to stay again
-
"Lovely modern property in a beautiful location central to popular locations."
Loads of room and all the facilities you require. Would definitely stay again :)
-
"The Robert accommodation we have stayed in."
Everything you needed was provided. Excellent location. Modern decor would love to know the colour used in the downstairs bathroom as the wife now wants to redecorate our living room with it. Will be back at some point.
Many thanks for your review and we are pleased you enjoyed staying at the barns. We will send you details of the paint colour. We look forward to welcome you back on your return visit. Best Regards, Property Owner

"Excellent property well furnished and clean."
Made to feel at home with goodies left to enjoy, lovely touch. Will recommend property to all friends.

"The WiFi wasn’t really up to expectation."
Sometimes the screen on the main tv would hang and we were unable to watch when mirroring from an IPad. All 4 of us had IPads and there were times that we couldn’t get the internet. Not a major criticism as the accommodation was so good, just a minor irritation. The top bathroom needs a shaver socket like the one in the master bathroom, as we had to share to be able to recharge our toothbrushes. Fortunately, I wet shave. Again, a minor inconvenience
We contacted BT and there was a problem with the Wi-fi connection at the exchange and this has now been rectified; thank you for bringing it to our attention. Property Owner

"We loved staying at this very well equipped and beautifully presented ted barn."
. If we had to be picky I would say no washing machine for long stay let's.. And the lawn had just be mowed before our arrival and must have been wet as our little westie ended up green the moment she ventured out! It never dried out enough for her to play out but I don't want that to sound like a moan as we had plenty of fab walks in the surrounding areas.. And it was so peaceful there.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you loved staying at Pensyflog Barns and had a lovely holiday. Regarding the washing machine we will make sure the property description says that there is no washing machine at the property so that future guests are not disappointed. Property Owner
-
"The only item we really needed was a clothes airer to hang wet clothes, as we had to use bathrooms, garden furniture and walls."
Otherwise a very luxurious, well stocked and furnished house.
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad the property exceeded your expectations and you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the clothes airer this is something we had not though of, but we have now added one and pegs which we hope that future guests will find useful Property Owner

"The property would have benefited by having a washing machine."

"What a wonderful cottage."
-
"Very Comfortable, well-equipped cottage."

"Overall everything was fantastic, however there were a few things that let it down Wasn’t obvious where the key box was on arrival, would be good to give instructions for that No hair dryer or iron which would have been handy, all shops in town had sold out of hair dryers so made do The small twin room downstairs was very small compared to other bedrooms, it was a very narrow bed for an adult and had only been made up for one so even pushing beds together wasn’t ideal with single bedding."
The door to the bedroom wouldn’t open passed the bed so had to move over etc
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that overall you had a fantastic time at Pensyflog Barns but are sorry to hear that there was a few things that you were not happy with. We will add a hairdryer, iron and ironing board to the property which will hopefully enhance other guests experience Property Owner
