Ms Mears
September 2020

“Fantastic cottage, warm, comfortable and well equipped.”

Great location and beautiful views from the front bench, perfect for enjoying a cuppa or beer after a day in the hills. Really handy selection of maps, walking routes and other info provided.

Great location and beautiful views from the front bench, perfect for enjoying a cuppa or beer after a day in the hills. Really handy selection of maps, walking routes and other info provided. Only marked down for cleanliness as it was a little dusty in places. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Mr Earnshaw September 2020

“Fantastic Victorian apartment set on the side of a steep valley overlooking Corris with lovely views down the valley towards Machynlleth.”

Very spacious apartment with plenty of room for 2 people. Perfect base for exploring around Cadair Idris, the Tarrens and the surrounding forests and valleys. Would definitely stay again.

- Mr Earnshaw, September 2020
Mr Gibbard September 2020

“Parking is difficult at times.”

Road is very narrow and not enough spaces. We parked at the bottom of the steep hill and walked up. The location of the holiday cottage was fantastic for walking and we found everyone very friendly.

- Mr Gibbard, September 2020
Mr Brunt August 2020

“A very comfortable stay on a well equipped cottage.”

Great location with a lovely view.Just what we needed for a relaxing week away.

- Mr Brunt, August 2020
Mr Anderson August 2020

“Friendly village, great views from the cottage, and lovely woodland nearby to explore”

- Mr Anderson, August 2020
Miss Cordingley July 2020

“Having arrived at this property we found it to be dirty and infested with woodlice, spiders millipedes.”

There were lots of dead woodlice especially in the wine glasses, spiders in almost every corner of every room, and millipedes both in the living room and in the bedroom. We couldn't even stay a night. You would have thought that hygiene and cleanliness would have been a higher priority coming out of the Covid-19 lockdown. Since raising this with Sykes Cottages I have had to call and email numerous times and am yet to be provided with any kind of solution. I would not recommend.

- Miss Cordingley, July 2020

Thank you for providing feedback for 1 Isygraig. We're shocked and sorry you felt the property was not up to your standards. We understand that upon arrival you left the property after one hour without notifying Sykes Cottages or the owners, despite having contact details for both. Please understand if there are any problems you wish to be rectified we are more than happy to assist. Even though no party has been given a chance to fix any of the issues you felt need addressing, we understand compensation has been offered back to you. Sykes owner relations

Mr Wood October 2018

“Beautiful spot and very friendly”

- Mr Wood, October 2018
Mrs Sandall September 2018

“We were delighted that the accommodation was so well equipped & very clean.”

The bed was comfortable (such an important factor when away from your own) and there was plenty of cupboard & drawer space. In addition, a multiplicity of sockets, a quality TV & WiFi that was efficient. The owners have excelled themselves in so many ways and we appreciated their efforts. I think that people need to be aware when booking that there is another apartment above which can mean small children running around letting off steam. We have grandchildren so it didn't bother us but others guests might not feel the same. Corris is a delightful little village set in a stunning and unspoilt part of Wales. We loved it all and will return!

- Mrs Sandall, September 2018
Mr Cogle August 2018

“We had a lovely stay.”

The owner was absolutely brilliant! The only catch was, we thought the property would have some enclosed outdoor space, but unfortunately it didn't. It wasn't a big problem but it did mean our dog had to stay on lead around the property.

- Mr Cogle, August 2018
Mr Timbrell August 2018

“Comfortable, well provided accommodation-we were very happy with our stay here.”

- Mr Timbrell, August 2018
Mrs Davies July 2018

“Lovely flat with everything we could possibly need.”

The views are fantastic and an added bonus of aircraft flying by in the Mach loop! The owner is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Would gladly stay here again.
