"The property itself and the location were beyond all expectations."
Logs were provided, this was a nice surprise.
I only had one minor criticism which was the heating for the hot water meaning that there was only enough hot water for 2 people to shower quickly. So by the time the 3rd person had a shower it was cold and unable to be reheated until the next day. I understand it is an eco solar system water heater and this was why, but this could maybe have been explained beforehand so we knew to shower in the morning instead of the evening. Also the heated flooring in the ensuite was not working and it was extremely cold in there.
However none of these reasons would stop me coming back again as it was such a nice property and very comfortable.
Also having EV chargers on site was unexpected but extremely appreciated.
Apologies for the delay in responding. Thanks so much for your kind comments, it was not until you told us that you were experiencing problems with the water system that we in fact knew about it. It transpired that the water pump had in fact seized causing a lack of hot water from the tank. This has now been attended to and the water supply is back to normal. Hoping this didn’t have too detrimental effect on your stay.

"It was such a lovely cottage and garden with plenty of room for dogs to explore and us to enjoy."
It was welcoming and so peaceful. House sparrows are adorable. You can hear owls at night too. we saw red kites, a snake (not at the cottage ) Scenery is gorgeous. Wildlife abundant. Most things are on the doorstep that you need. Would encourage other guests to go explore. Would definitely recommend. It was just what we needed from a holiday, our Welsh pronunciation not great but locals were happy to help out. We had some great food too. Dogs were welcomed too. All round fabulous

"Beautiful holiday cottage in truly idyllic surroundings."
The view from the garden was breathtaking. Short drive to the dog friendly beach at Tywyn, which our dogs adored. Very quiet, there were many days when we found we had the beach all to ourselves which was great. Very friendly local butcher. Well stocked kitchen. The only drawback/area for improvement we can suggest, mattresses on the beds weren't very comfortable, maybe consider replacing these? Otherwise, 5 stars, 10 out 10, would definately recommend to others

"This was a wonderful weekend away in a beautiful part of the World."
From the outset the booking process was easy and the email we received with directions and details of how to access the cottage were also very clear. The cottage itself was stunning and has been refurbished to a very high standard, whilst keeping the wonderful original elements. It was incredibly quiet in the complex and we saw one person once all weekend. Our two teens and pooch also enjoyed the space and wonderful walks. It was very rural but within easy reach of Bryncrug and Tywyn, which for us as visiting relatives in Tywyn made it most convenient. We will definitely be returning!

"Lovely cottage with lots of space and fantastic views."
It's situated along a single track dead end road so it's very quiet there but only a mile to Bryncrug and 7 minutes drive to Tywyn so not so remote as to be isolated.
Booking through Skykes was not to my liking as it was all done online with no personal human contact at any point. The only person we did see was the lady who looks after the cottages and that was on our last day 10 minutes before we left to drive home.
Many thanks for your kind comments.

Covid rules require late arrival and early departure so the first and last days are not really holiday. We understand ours was a late booking in peak time but we felt £800 for effectively three days holiday was expensive. We were also a little surprised not to get some type of welcome pack - most places have some milk, maybe some wine and some biscuits or welshcakes.
