Ty Ffynnon

Our third stay now as the position is ideal, so close to shops, bars, restaurants and the beach.

The enclosed garden is great for our dogs!

We had a great week at Ty Ffynnon.

The location is AMAZING, right in the centre of abersoch on the doorstep of everything - but no noise could be heard from inside which was impressive. The space inside and out was ample for our party (five adults, three children) The bedrooms were spacious enough and very comfortable. The en suites & bathrooms were all a good size and gave everyone their own space. The garden is mega. For such a central location it was a brilliant size. Our puppies loved it and so did the kids. The weather was mixed but we managed some al fresco dining. The kitchen was fine. Most of our cooking was done using the aga, which was great once you got the hang of it. Plenty of pots and pans, so the whole kitchen was amply equipped. I’d read some negative reviews before going about cleanliness etc. The property is not dirty but it is an old cottage, and if you want fully modern with every modcon going then it might not be for you. If you want the best location and are happy with a little more traditional then you will love it. That’s not to say a hot tub wouldn’t be a fantastic edition though

This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful house.

A great winter house warm and cosy !! We would love to stay in the summer but always miss our dates .. can highly recommend. Very close to great restaurants, shops and the beach. Wonderful enclosed garden for the children. Sue B Dec 24

NO ONE THERE TO MEET US ON ARRIVAL -NO NAME ON THE GATE-HAD TO GO TO THE LOCAL SHOPS TO FIND SOMEONE TO ASK COOKING FACILITIES 1) INDUCTION HOB THE INSTRUCTIONS NO USE AT ALL SPENT NEARLY 2 HOURS ON PHONE TO YOUR OFFICE BUT NO ONE KNEW A LOCAL YOUNG LADY CAME IN TO SHOW US HOW CLEARER INSTRUCTIONS NEEDED THEN THE AGA-IT WAS ON READY TO GO-INSTRUCTIONS WERE GWASOOD AND THE OWNER HELPED WITH THE DETAIL.

3) DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM-THE WHITE PPAINT/PLASTER WAS COMING OFF THE WALLS 4) REFUSE COLLECTION IT WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL TO KNOW THE DAY OFCOLLECTION

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly despite some very wet weather.

The House was clean, well equipped and comfortable. We were particularly pleased with the enclosed patio and garden which were very safe for our dog. The location of the house is very convenient for the beach , shops , cafes etc and despite being near the centre of the village it was surprisingly quiet. We have already booked a return visit next year.

Great property in a great location

Great Location for town and Beach, spacious outdoor space.

We were family of 7 adults 1 six yr old and two 6mnth old twins and one dog we holiday in abersoch every yr as a family the house is perfect location as all right there on doorstep.

The house for me was extremely disappointing from the off not been cleaned properly at all dust and cobwebs everywhere and behind furniture on skirting boards and bedside cabinets (got photos ) we had to clean pans and kitchen trays before using. Downstairs wasn't too bad of a space was amazing for us all to be together which is the only saving grace for this house. Downstairs double where do I start mouldy plaster falling off everywhere smelt of moth balls and damp so bad had i to buy stand air fresheners to help smell this did improve it but awful awful smell. So damp in there there were wood lice all over both the bedroom and the shower room walking on floors and up the walls Blinds n curtains didn't work properly in most rooms very grubby mouldy looking and my husband had to spend first morning putting living room curtains back up cos fell off track When opening them . My girls and family were upstairs in the bedrooms and yes we all fit it wonderfully well but all over things missing or grubby or cobwebs. Lots of things in this house needing attention and no way a 4-5 star house we have stayed in much better Sykes cottages over the last 4-5yrs all in abersoch. We paid 1500ish for a wk which is alot but that being said there were 10 people total in there so guess not to bad. If I'd have used this house in height of season n been paying top money I'd be mortified. Even down to the pots pans dishes ect . We like a glass of wine plastic ones only arrghhh seems abit harsh maybe but we like a glass and a nice glass to drink out of. All in all the house is in need of major work to get it up to the rating it's advertised at. The outside space was amazing and huge but again old looking furniture all in need of upgrades. We had a wonderful week together even with all the above being said because the house is very centrally located pub across the rd beach 10min walk shoes 5 min walk but would I risk staying there again with all the damp smelly issues that go with this house NO I'll be looking around again now for something else. One last thing do Sykes go around and look at these houses regularly to check them out because I did read some reviews about the mouldy room before we booked but u think we'll may not be as bad as all that but yes was grim. This house Def needs re rating and price dropping I feel and we came in Feb half term are we the beginning of the season or the end ? Either way to me that house should have had a deep clean every piece of furniture moved and cleaned behind. The cleaning company need to be spoken to because terrible job done . Joanne and family ( I do have photos if anyone needs to see them)

I wouldn’t rate this property 4*5* more like 3*4 it was damp, cold not very clean and the kitchen was very cramped.

This is more a spring, summer rental I wouldn’t rent it again in the winter months. We were 5 adults could just fit around the kitchen table. Although there was a good supply of cutlery, crockery cooking utensils and baking trays the plastic glasses were rubbish there could be some actual cheap glass wine glasses supplied I definitely wouldn’t stay there in the winter months again.

The cottage was a bit disappointing.

I have booked with Sykes numerous times and have always booked 4 and 5 star cottages to guarantee quality. The location was 10/10 and we couldn’t have wished for better, however the cottage itself was very tired, not particularly clean and the downstairs bedroom was damp. We have always at every cottage we have stayed at been left a welcome pack, even if it was just a pint of milk but there was nothing, and although not mandatory would have been a welcome gesture well received. I’m not sure where the Sykes 4* rating came from, as compared with other cottages I have stayed in before I did not feel this was 4*

Great accommodation , great location - perfect

Property was fine, however, I was told twice that towels will be provided in the property but we would need to bring beach towels and tea towels, which we did.

When we arrived there were no towels for use in the bathrooms and so we had to spend time and money going out and buying them. Also I had paid £15 for a bed settee to be made up and this wasn't done, which complicated our sleeping arrangements. When I rang in after our return re the above the £15 was refunded but I was told (rather dismissively) that towels were not provided therefore it would not be said that they were. My reply was that if you listen to your recorded phone calls you will see that I am right. Your employee Simon said he would get authorisation to this and call me back but I have heard nothing since.
