• "We have stayed at ‘The Cottage’ before."

  The location is brilliant and the property is great. This time we had a couple of teething problems - 1. It was a real struggle to lock / unlock the front door with the keys provided. I was really concerned that during our stay either the lock would break or we would end up locked out!!! 2. The master bedroom mattress caused both myself and my husband back problems and we have both come home with bad backs. Can only assume the mattress on the bed needs replacing.

• "Just had a very good week in late September at The Cottage, Abersoch."

  The Cottage was ideal, we are both elderly short walk into Abersoch to all amenities and the beach very central for everything. Cottage well equipped, clean and comfortable off road parking ideal. Would recommend it to others. Thank you Harriet very enjoyable week. V&J

• "Mum and I stayed and were pleasantly surprised at the location being tucked away next to a Chapel and the police station."

  Ignore the sat nav it took us down the adjacent road. Parking was tight enough for two cars, which was a benefit as parking is not available in the road.. A short 5 minute walk from the cottage into Abersoch to enjoy the lively restaurants, pubs, shops, harbour and beaches.We recommend booking for evening meals as the village gets packed. The household amenities were great. More than enough crockery, pans, utensils (even a poaching pan)! Dishwasher, washing machine etc. I would have liked more tea towels and bath cleaning product. The beds were comfy, warm heating and plenty of hot water. We loved the history of the cottage, imagining the horses being stabled, the groom working and sleeping above the animals. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the veranda and listening to the sea gulls. Considering the age the cottage it was quite modern inside, self contained, a little jewel tucked away. Good to have the TV with enough channels to watch when it rained, we enjoyed the games of dominoes and playing cards. Nice local artwork in keeping with the seaside theme and the interior decor made the cottage easy to use. Thank you for sharing your cottage. We will be back next year, God willing x

• "There were 2 issue the boiler not working so no heating or hot water and blocked drains."

  The boiler got repaired however the drainage issues which had toilet roll and faeces meant on the paving area meant we couldn't use the balcony either was never addressed.

  I'm so sorry you had a problem with the boiler as you know i managed to get someone out to fix it as soon as possible the same day it was very unfortunate and obviously difficult being a weekend. As a gesture of good will I asked Sykes to refund you for the day that was effected. I hope this was honered. As to any drainage issue unfortunately I wasn't informed about the problem so didn't know there was a problem until the company I found to fix the boiler reported back. The drain was then fixed the same day. Again I'm so sorry you had a problem and I hope you are happy with the refund I instructed Sykes to give you. Property Owner

• "A great little cottage, well equipped and a great location."

  Easy walk to both beach and Shops. Could do with a user manual on how to operate heating etc .. but we worked it out eventually..

• "My wife and I took this holiday to enjoy a week in Abersoch and were bitterly disappointed by the cottage."

  It hadn't been cleaned, with dust, dirt and cobwebs everywhere. All our clothes needed washing went we got home. There were no instructions about bin collection etc, and several light bulbs had blown. Ther was black mould on some walls, an overwhelming smell of damp, out of date food in the freezer and cupboards...including mouldy flour. The cutlery, glasses and kitchen utensils hadn't been properly cleaned and we left a day early as we couldn't stand it any longer. Very surprised and disappointed that it met Sykes criteria for letting out to the public. We certainly won't be returning here again.

• "The cottage is tired and there is evidence of damp in the toilet and was rather unpleasant."

  There was a lot of cobwebs and the windows and outside area were very dirty. I cleaned the front room window as it was hardly letting light in and was sad to look through. We did not use the outdoor seating on the first floor as it was scruffy and unappealing. We did have one issue with a toaster but that was handled quickly and appreciated. It's a shame as it could be a beautiful cottage but needs refreshing and new beds and mattresses in the twin bedroom. The location is good

• "We had a wonderful stay."

  The house was excellent for our family and had everything we needed. Location is perfect for both beach and town. The only improvements were that there was no information pack explaining bin days, checking out procedure etc. Also, the house was very dark as the lights were not sufficient and there were a few cobwebs and a bit of rubbish left around.

• "The cottage was rather rundown and neglected outside."

  The bins were overflowing.The balcony was dirty with weeds growing through the slabs and it would be a major job to uncover the furniture and actually use it. Inside was also rather neglected with evidence of damp such as musty smells and a particularly strong smell upstairs. It felt unused. There was no information about the property, e.g. Wi-Fi password, collection days for rubbish and recycling, where the heating controls were and how to use them, etc. The TV wasn’t tuned in, so had to spend time setting that up. The light in the small bedroom didn’t work and several light bulbs were blown in the kitchen. A small welcome pack and some tourist information leaflets would have been a nice touch too. Off road parking was a bonus as was the situation close to town.

• "The Cottage was better than we imagined."

  It’s situation in the almost centre of Abersoch ideal. The decor was for me was beautifully done, & tastefully & thoughtfully created. We visited end of April so we were unable to enjoy the balcony & outside facilities which in the summer months would add to the enjoyment, as garden limited, but the parking area at the front is so useful as Abersoch is full & vibrant in the summer, so parking helps. The equipment & facilities to enhance your stay, add to the comfort. & you can use the heating facility which is programme for the occasional help ( or more) but that is all we needed as April is a bit chilly. I would have loved to have read the history of the cottage. Plus a few more instructions , mainly when refuse is collected. Thankyou the high standard of cleanliness of ‘The Cottage’ was comforting when we arrived.
