  • "Don't worry about this cottage being on a holiday home park, it is quite private and the park very quiet."

    The directions however should be changed. They say turn left into "Lodge Park," there is no Lodge Park (there is a Lodge House but the sign is easy to miss). It is clearly signed as "Rhos Holiday Home Park." We were in the right place but could see no signage for "Lodge Park" so thought we had got it wrong. It also says turn left in front of the wrought iron gates but if they are open you cannot see them so they should not be used as a reference point.

  • "House and surrounding areas full of flies Very strong smell of dogs"

    The cottage is in the country side and so you will have wildlife . We often stay at the cottage ourselves and we do rent the cottage out to dog owners. The cottage is given a deep clean in between each visit and pride ourselves with the standard each cottage is rented out each week. We do hope you find an alternate cottage next year which meets your expectations of a country break with no wildlife! Property Owner

  • "Cottage was lovely and clean."

    There was a lovely welcome pack for the dogs as well as us humans, which was a very nice touch although the milk was out of date by a month, the biscuits were delicious though. The directions given weren't very good and we did get a bit lost as they told us to turn by the lodge, it is actually Rhos Holiday Home Park. Inside the cottage like I said previously was very clean, although a stain on the bedroom carpet. The downside was there is no view but we did know this when booking (it is in such a pretty area it was a shame not to see it whilst having a coffee outside). The cottage could do with an armchair in the sitting room as my elderly mother found the sofa too low and it could only really sit 2 people comfortably. The toilet could also be a bit higher and with a seat that fitted and didn't move every time you sat down. Shower was great. The single bedroom could do with a lamp and a TV, children like to watch TV when they go to bed or read in bed. There were plenty of leaflets (most places too far away though as one was in Essex) and information pack also useful with plenty of takeaway and nearby shop. Lovely cottage to use as a base for a long weekend, as we found a week a bit too long.

  • "Excellent value for money and a good base to explore different parts of Wales, if you don't mind driving."

    The welcoming pack is a nice touch. We Would book this again when we revisit Wales in the future.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again Property Owner

  • "Toilet seat not fitting properly."

    Setee and toilet isTo low if disabled person using it. When we arrived there were flies everywhere. The living room curtain was broken and came off the runners. The main bug bear was the fact that there was no door in the main bedroom and anyone in the single room had to pass through your room to get to the room or toilet. A sliding door or concertina door would possibly help. Single room lampshade is broken. A day of good diy repairs from owners to rectify minor problems would make this cottage more of a pleasant place to stay.

    Thank you for your feedback and we will be investigating why the lamp was broken either during your stay or prior. However as part of a hand over of cottages all properties are inspected and signed off as clean and all facilities checked. Regarding the setee, this was bought at the end of July 2022 and has only been used by yourselves on your stay. It is a brand new sofa and sofa bed to provide options for guests for a double room in addition to the rooms provided in the advert. the advert states a single and double room and is priced accordingly, but we do have the option of a double bed from the sofa if requested prior to arrival (so we can provide additional bedding) The cottage is advertised not as a disabled accessible holiday let, so we are unable to comment on your comment regarding "if a disabled person using it". However the cottage is all ground floor and fitted with standard bathroom and kitchen and is suitable for those visitors who do not wish to climb stairs. however we have never advertised as being accessible for persons with a disability and we apologies if you were advised by Sykes Cottages that this was as it is not We have made several improvements to the cottages and we continue to improve the cottages . thank you for your feedback Property Owner

  • "We have just enjoyed a week at the cottage, we found the cottage nice, with a well equipped kitchen, in a good location to explore, with all owners on the site very friendly, a few things that could be improved."

    The cottage is looking a little tired and would benefit from a refresh, although we don’t want to clean while we are away, providing a brush and dustpan would be handy, especially when you have a dog, in addition an iron and ironing board, just to take those creases out. The information book is handy but would benefit with a little more what to do in the area would be good.

    Thank You Brain So glad you enjoyed your stay of the cottages south of the shropshire hills and north of brecon beacons The cottages were refurbished with new bathrooms prior to ourselves purchasing them in April 2022.prior to opening the cottages up they were fully checked for amenities and additional facilities added which are essential for a week away In June 2022 we revisited the cottages based on feedback from yourself and another customer and these were repainted We do not provide ironing boards or iron, but this will be considered in the future Dust brush and pan have been added to the cottages , but cleaning sponges and cleaning solutions are provided under the sink. Regarding information for the area we have updated the welcome pack, but in addition added maps of the area, leaflets can be found in the draw of the living room cabinet for "things to do". However due to the pandemic we were reluctant initially to provide detailed information of the amazing things to do in this beautiful place- mid wales In our welcome pack initially we did not add too much information of times of opening etc Due to the uncertainty back 6 months ago of the restrictions which would be put in place. However thankfully we have progressed and we will update the pack to recommend more reliable opening times of activities to support our holiday makers and there friend s with paws There is loads to do and the welsh tourist board and the local leaflets provided give all contact details of things to do and times thank you for the feedback ellie Property Owner
