  • "This property isn’t what we normally have come to expect from Sykes cottages."

    There were wires hanging from the ceilings and switches in some of the bathrooms loose.No instructions for the cooker or appliances .For what we paid it was very basic compared to the houses we have rented in the past. The dinning chairs were cream and the covers dirty and stained , old cigarettes in one of the drawers in a bedroom the whole place needed a really good clean, they left us a mop and bucket and a brush but nothing else. When we booked there wasn’t a hot tub, but there is know when we asked about the hot tub we were told it would be an extra £275 pounds, had we been informed before the start of the weekend we would probably have paid but if we were to book the house again that isn’t the difference in payment. We did have a good weekend but the house was very disappointing. Also by the bins there were old fridges etc.

    Hi Helen We do put the manuals in your welcome pack and do suggest you raise any issues at the time so we can address them but I do apologise that THe Bevan did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Mark Property Owner

  • "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely loved our stay at this property!"

    The place was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The atmosphere was so peaceful, and everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel right at home. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely love to visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

    Hi Vibin Thank you so much for your kind words. Mark and the team Property Owner

  • "This was a super place for a large group of people at a reasonable price per person."

    Thirty two of us from our cycling club stayed, the bedrooms were basic but beds very comfortable and the en-suites were lovely with fabulous showers. There was no carpet but that was fine for us as we were able to store our bikes in the corridors to keep them safe. The kitchen facilities were fine and we were able to cook each evening for 32 without any problems. There was enough room for us all to sit together in the dining room. The communal lounge was ok, a few of the chairs were a bit tatty. The lighting was very harsh (fluorescent overhead lights), a minor thing, but some softer lighting would have been welcome. There was a huge TV and a pool table and table football. There were plenty of outdoor tables and chairs both behind and in front of the property and plenty of car parking. The Bevan was in a lovely quiet situation and there were fantastic long and hilly cycle rides from the property. Steve, the caretaker, was around and very helpful. Overall a great place for a large group of friends to stay. Definitely not 5 star luxury but perfectly comfortable and good value for money. We will almost certainly book again.

    Hi Jeanette Thank you so much for your kind words and we look forward to your return visit! Mark Property Owner

  • "Family of 28 stayed."

    Property had not been cleaned and rubbish left outside in enclosed area. Rubbish was cleared when we raised it, however the cleanliness of the house was well below acceptable standard. Complained and offered £50 refund which was insulting. Would not return or recommend.

    Hi Darren I do apologise that the team failed to meet your expectations on this occasion. Mark Property Owner

  • "Many amenities listed were either missing or not working."

    2 Coffee machines listed but only one present, which continuously overflowed. pool table was missing bits and was in a poor state. also i would have expected a property of this size, in an outdoor activity centered place such as north wales, to have a washing machine. admittedly i did not check this when booking so thats on me but i would advise anyone planning a week of outdoor activity to select somewhere with facilities for cleaning clothes.

    HI Nicholas I am not sure which description you are reading from but to clarify : We have a full size Adexa filter coffee machine , seperate large cafetieres and a handful of individual cafetieres. I will check the operation of the Adexa but we haven't had any further complaints. As you correctly suggest laundry is not something we have at the Bevan (nor do we advertise that we do) . There is a laundry service available on site had you requested. I did note that one of the corner pieces was loose on the pool table and have rectified. Thank you for your feedback Mark and the team Property Owner

Offering spacious group accommodation, excellent access to walking and cycling routes, and amenities nearby, this property is well suited to large family gatherings, celebrations and group getaways. Guests benefit from ample off-road parking and access to shared outdoor spaces, including extensive lawns and seating areas.

The property itself provides bright, comfortable accommodation with a large open-plan living area, where guests can relax on the sofas and enjoy a film on the flat screen TV. The well-equipped kitchen features two double ovens and an induction hob, making it easy to cater for larger groups.

Two dining tables provide seating for up to 34 guests, creating a sociable space for shared meals and celebrations. To the rear of the property is an enclosed garden with picnic benches and a table tennis table, providing a practical outdoor space for both guests and dogs. The Bevan offers 17 bedrooms, with six located on the ground floor and the remaining rooms spread across two first-floor wings.
