Glascoed

Lovely place, a home from home.

Well equipped, warm with a very comfortable bed ( on the softer side which is my preference) Out host was quick to respond and help. A great base from which to explore the peninsula. The log burner was a very welcome making from a cosy living room We would definitely return here

The property was perfect for us nice and homely and very comfortable

An absolutely lovely cottage in a great location.

We're usually in Morfa Nefyn, but will definitely be staying here from now on. Really comfy cottage, great selection of books and CDs! And loved all the cat themed bits, and some fabulous artwork on the walls. Literally the only negative I can think of is the hot water pressure is a bit low, but that can't be helped. Good path through the fields to the beach.

Comfortable bed, nice big garden, log burner works well.

Has all facilities you need. Safe parking, great pub and local shop within walking distance. Quiet location. Short drive to local beaches.

Beautiful homely cottage in lovely location.

Close to local pub and excellent butcher. The garden is lovely. Would highly recommend

Glascoed is a lovely, cozy cottage in Edern.

We had a wonderful time. Parking was such a bonus to have off-road. The garden is much more beautiful than you expect from the photos, and a gorgeous sun-trap. It's a quiet and idyllic little village which still has a cost cutter shop not too far away. Deliveries arrive here no problem and the postman is very friendly. All-in-all it felt like a home away from home!

Lovely end terrace cottage wth well established gardens.

Set in a small village,Edern,on the Lleyn Penisular. Off road car parking. The cottage is homely with eclectic furnishings. Electric heater in lounge with a multi fuel burner fire to add to the comfort on chilly evenings. TV,DVD and CD players are available along with numerous board games and good selection of books to add to your enjoyment and relaxation.The kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker for dishing up your preferred meals. The two bedrooms are cosy with good quality bedding and adequate storage for your clothing. The cottage is an ideal place from which to explore the local area. Pub&shop a short walk on the main road. Chip shop is in Morfa Nefyn 10 mins away. All in all, a nice comfortable,homely cottage.

We had a brilliant time at this cottage.

It had everything we needed, a nice space for wetsuits etc. it felt very homely and comfortable. The garden area was great and there were lovely touches such as a good music system and books/ maps of the area and local history. Fully recommend and would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay again (3rd visit).

Very relaxing and comfortable cottage, Unfortunately, we will not be able to return to this cottage as they no longer allow dogs due to a negative experience with dog owners who were not responsible which is a shame as the garden is perfect for dogs. However, although a mixed week weather wise, we had a lovely stay in this beautiful area.

Very unhappy to be informed by text whilst we were travelling there that the main form of heating is a log burner, and that guests are expected to buy their own logs.

The central heating is locked down and can only be adjusted remotely by the owner via app. This should all have been shown in the listing. The property has an overwhelming smell of damp, and when we arrived home, all our clothes and belongings, even things like books, reeked of damp and had to be washed. On day 2 we got very wet in the rain, so I texted the owner asking him to turn the heating up. He replied that he would “turn all radiators up to 19 degrees” - very little happened and we couldn’t dry our clothes. In the end we got so disillusioned, we left a day early. This owner’s approach to cost control on heating is unacceptable and is surely contributing to the damp in the property. I’m afraid we cannot recommend the cottage and will not be returning.

great would love to go again.

...if they allowed dogs of course...

Excellent cottage in a beautiful location.

The cottage was really well equipped with everything you need.

It’s was a beautiful and comfortable cottage, it had everything we needed to make a great base for us.

Thor our GSD loved the garden too. We would highly recommend this cottage, it is a shame that it is no longer having dogs allowed.

We had a wonderful time at Glascoed cottage.

It had everything we needed and it was very cosy, comfortable and clean. The garden was a delight and our doggies loved it too. The area is stunning and there are lots of walks from the doorstep. Thank you David

We had a lovely stay, thank you, ideal for exploring the llyn pernisula!

Really enjoyed reading little black quibba to the kids. They loved it. The garden was great for us. Beds were comfy enough. Perhaps a mattress topper for the double room would be good. Thanks again. We’ll be back x

Unfortunately the cleanliness was not good, needs a deep clean and de clutter.

Too many pictures, dvds and personal items. Garden was not secure for dogs. Sadly we left early as it was not to our standard or taste. Could be a lovely cottage as its in a beautiful location. Garden needs a good tidy and clean. Such a shame but we won't be returning.

The house wasn’t very clean, in particular the bathroom was dirty.

Also when trying to find plug sockets we had to move units and everywhere was thick with dust. There weren’t enough towels, no bath mat and only one tea towel. Not enough when there’s no dishwasher and everything has to be washed (and dried) by hand. The facilities overall were disappointing. The house location was good and the garden is stunning but the house just didn’t come up to scratch.

Very well laid out property and facilities were excellent.

Some parts were a little grubby and dusty so could do with a really good clean. Watch the shelving in the double bedroom - I came away with a gash on my head! Mainly a comfortable cottage with a large (but in need of some tlc) garden for the dog. Would be useful to have some local information in the folder.

The only key to the property proved very difficult to lock when leaving the cottage.

We had to wiggle it in order to get it to work which took some time. We also found socks and under ware in the bottom drawer of the front bedroom chest of drawers. These were left by the previous occupant and had been worn . We had to clean the oven both grill pan and shelves as much as we could as they were burnt with old grease remains. However all of the above was but an inconvenience and we soon were able to really enjoy the cottage the garden and the very beautiful country that is this part of Wales.

The property is in a great location with a local shop and pub in the village.

The coastal path is just 10 mins walk away with excellent coastal walks. The property is comfortable, clean and well maintained. The garden is beautiful and I don’t think we wanted for anything that was not provided on our stay. Will return for our next holiday in Wales.

Comfortable, clean, well appointed two-bedroomed end-terrace house in Edern, a lovely quiet Llŷn Peninsula village.

Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Well tended, secluded garden with seating area/patio. An easy walk to the lovely Tŷ Coch Inn on the beautiful beach at Porthdinllaen. Easy walk also to Morfa Nefyn. Only problem we had was with the electric radiators which we found difficult to fathom - we only found the instruction books on the last day as they were stacked away behind other books on the boolshelf

This was our second stay here.

The property had not been cleaned from the previous stay (although this was rectified quickly, still disappointing, as we were hoping to get settled and had to go elsewhere whilst this was done) no cleaning products left for us to clean throughout our stay, hardly anything left for the woodburner for the first night (so we had to go out again for wood on the first day) stark contrast to the first time we stayed (the first time we stayed, we had everything we needed including a few washing pods, and tea and coffee) I'd be hesitant to book again even though we have enjoyed Birthdays and anniversaries here for the past 2 years.

Another lovely relaxing stay.

Looking forward to coming again.

had great holiday at the cottage .

Its got every thing you need very comfy and relaxed will be booking again

A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting.

We really enjoyed our 3 week stay and would have loved to stay longer. We will certainly return.

The house is ideally placed for walks and touring , everything you need for your stay, but it require a lick of paint, slight dampness in the front bedroom.

The log burner was amazing the warmth filled the house. A nice size garden for your dogs to explore. Also the owner was very helpful.

This cottage is in a perfect location for coastal walks.

We enjoyed our stay for the price it had adequate amenities. We loved the garden but it was a shame it was not secure for our dog. Open to field's that held sheep. The parking was a bonus as the lane was not very wide.We would book again

Very comfortable cottage in an excellent area to walk the coast

Very clean,cosy and comfortable.

Beautiful garden, great area lot's to do and see.

The cottage is well situated for great headland walks and within easy reach of Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn beaches.

The garden is a bonus, very peaceful and tranquil. Facilities in the cottage are good, everything we needed; have paid far more for not as good. Will definitely return.

Gorgeous cottage and garden.

Perfect location for some wonderful walks. Massive CD collection - great for relaxing . Kitchen had everything you may need. Would recommend.

Lovely property with a lovley enclosed garden.

We had a really relaxing stay ina beautiful area. there was everything we needed in the property. Would visit again.

Lovely, comfortable cottage and a secret garden which our granddaughter loved.

Plenty of seating areas in garden to follow the sun round at mealtimes. Loved the office area, books, DVDs and CDs. WiFi and multi channel TV. Shower could do with a rubber mat as very slippy. So many beaches and things to do in the area. A big thumbs up from us. Thanks

The cottage was so lovely.

Cosy, clean and warm. The utility area with a works desk was a welcome surprise too. The area is amazing, so many beautiful and empty beaches. It was an idyllic break that meant we went home very relaxed and can’t wait to book again. One tiny point, running hot tap took some time due to low water pressure. For future visitors, would avoid going down stairs with only socks on feet… likely to slip… Would highly recommend this property.

Lovely cottage only downside is the toilet being so far from the bedroom but this can’t be helped.

New radiators we’re a bonus as the cottage stayed cosy when the fireplace wasn’t in use.

Utterly perfect cottage in a beautiful location - could not have asked for better

It was a fantastic place to stay, warm and cosy, everything we needed.

Close to facilities and beaches. The garden has much interest even in March. I would love to see it in the summer time. It was very suitable for families with a dog, like us. Good off road parking and fairly secure perimeters around the garden, all just great!

Edern is a great place to stay with lovely walks and The Ship Inn.

A butchers shop selling groceries as well. Glascoed wasn’t very welcoming, No milk or goodies left to welcome you! We’ve stayed in holiday cottages all over the UK for years and this is the first cottage not to leave a welcome for the visitors! It’s a nice touch we think! Kitchen well equipped and bathroom nice. Cottage rather on the cold side with old night storage heaters. Warmest place to be is bathroom and utility room outside the bathroom. Log burner not so good.A shovel of coal and compressed logs were left for a fire for one evening! Beds not so comfy and pillows and bed linen could be better. The cottage needs updating with some TLC. Pretty garden. Space to park, but awkward to manoeuvre with neighbours parking their vehicles on the road. Hard to turn round on narrow, busy lane.

Lovely cottage nice and peaceful.

Everything you needed there. Log burner is fab. Near to amenities and bea ch. Will definitely be booking again

Could be a nice cottage unfortunately it’s badly let down by poor maintenance and housekeeping.

Under the present situation with COVID19 we were asked to arrive later to allow deep cleaning, this definitely didn’t happen. In the guests comments book dating back to 2019 out of 43 entries 17 all complained about the hygiene etc. On arrival there were no logs for the fire as also mentioned by the previous guests, no list of emergency numbers, doctors, vets, etc. Only one tea towel provided by previous guests, and luckily we took our own cleaning materials as none were provided. Basically the property is grotty.

We arrived to find no way to light the fire after an 8 hr drive, a door frame was hanging off causing us to bang our heads.

The cooker broke down 3 days from end of holiday which meant we were unable to cook the food we had bought for 3 days. Yes Sykes provided one meal for one evening but not the rest of the food that was wasted due to being for an oven. Apparently the owners could not be contacted and we did not get the oven fixed before we left. No tea towels or basic cleaning materials to assist in cleaning cottage. We bought cloths etc which we left some for other people. The cupboards upstairs smelt damp and the garden is in desperate need for some TLC in fact the whole cottage is. Loved the area but would not be back to the cottage and would think twice about using Sykes again!

We have booked breaks with Sykes before and been happy but this was our worst experience yet.

The cottage failed to meet expectations. It was very dirty throughout with signs of mould, damage and generally poor hygiene. We have taken pictures demonstrating this. The hallway had mould on the wall, the shower further mould around the floor, everywhere was dirty and really made us feel let down. The meat tins in the oven were filthy, the dining table sticky with dirt and the fire and barbecue full of old ash, rusty. The whole place needs a good clean and some new furniture/modernisation. Lots of cobwebs, poor decor and dirty throughout.

A well appointed cottage with a fantastic garden that’s perfect for a family of four, situated relatively close to Morfa Nefyn, Porthdinllaen and surrounding beaches.

The position enabled us to eat out locally (The Ship) or cook in the well equipped kitchen, and travel easily to the Llyn’s beaches and historic places. My minor gripes were with poor hot water demand (in the kitchen and bathroom) and cleanliness of the bathroom (which needed some work!). Overall, though, a great stay - thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely home, and thank you, Sykes Cottages, for helping us to find it!

Fabulous holiday cottage with a beautiful garden and pet friendly and highly secure, apart from the very back part which we sectioned off.

A true home from home, would live to return and can recommend. Area beautiful, gorgeous beaches and we had glorious weather.

On arrival noticed lack of cleanlinless.

There were white dog hairs all over the carpet, kitchen floor and furniture. This made us feel itchy and uncomfortable. There was also remants of food in the kitchen cuboards. The house needed a deep clean and were not expecting the lack of cleanlinless during covid which made us feel uncomfortable and disatisfied.

We were blessed with sunshine and found the cottage comfortable.

There was no fire fuel provided and the storage heaters were switched off. This could have been a problem in cooler weather. There were several areas in the garden to relax in and we were not overlooked. Great to have off road parking too. The area is lovely and quiet and friendly neighbours about. We’ve bought a few jars of honey from a local beekeeper. The cottage is a short drive to popular beaches and is a good spot to explore the rest of the peninsula

Lovely cosy cottage situated at the end of a country lane which leads to the coast path.

Great location to explore the area. The garden was very private and peaceful if slightly unkempt. However the property was let down by the lack of cleanliness mainly in the kitchen and shower room. On arrival we had to brush and mop the floor which was dirty. The fireplace was also covered in ash and the fire had not been cleaned. There was also no starter fuel left as stated in the details. We also found dirty towels in the laundry bag in the shower room having only been left one bath towel between the two of us. Also there was no toilet paper. Just these simple issues would need to be addressed.

Lovely cottage but next doors barking Great Dane spoiled it for us as you couldn't sit in the garden

Cleanliness , property condition very poor, food particles left in cupboard.

Broken furniture and curtain off pole. Decor disgusting I have many photos of the cottage to confirm. It was so discomforting that we left a day early . Very disappointed Sykes as it was our birthday treat and t was ruined Fire ashes was from previous guests which I assume was last year due to COVID restrictions. Garden was very unkempt. It was meant to be a relaxing break after a hard year of working within the NHS and the passing of family members. I came home more stressed

Garden was lovley and private, nice quiet area.

Cosy cottage really enjoyed our stay thank you!

Lovely, cosy little cottage in a great location to explore the amazing coastline and beaches.

If booked again would need to bring something to black out the windows, the curtains are very light and let all the light through, which might suit some people. Also would remember to bring extra toilet rolls, only the one supplied available, which I’d luckily noticed before it ran out!

Having read the feedback on this cottage prior to booking and before travelling, I was slightly apprehensive on what we might find on arrival.

To be honest, the cottage was clean and tidy but some attention to detail was missing, the cottage information pack needs updating to include Wifi codes etc, not everybody will look in the obvious places. The garden is lovely and secure for any canine companions. Glascoed provided a value for money stay.

Really great holiday accommodation unfortunately let down by a lack of cleaning.

This seems especially important at the moment.

We wasn't expecting anything salubrious as dog friendly usually have a compromise as dogs can malt smell when wet.

On arrival it was clean but slightly tired especially the sofa and a musty smell. Left for more than a few days I would imagine most cottages would suffer the same in this location. Downstairs bathroom although clean with good shower and facilities was a pain at night if needing the loo. Garden was dog friendly and lovely but not secure parts needed fencing on the road side. A busy farm up the lane be noisy early morning but we are early risers. Nice log burner and in a very good location for discovering this beautiful area. We enjoyed our stay unfortunately because of the bathroom issue Downstairs we would not return.

The Llyn Peninsula is a lovely part of the world and well worth a visit for sweeping beaches, dramatic scenery and a getting away from it all vibe.

Glascoed suited us down to the ground for our two night stay - nice garden, good shower room, large bed in the main bedroom and comfortable sitting room/lounge. Some small downsides are the table for eating at is cramped for four people and the oven/hob on their last legs. However there are plenty of good places to eat around - the Cliff at Morfa Nefyn did excellent food, it's well worth a walk around the bay to the Ty Coch Inn for a pint on the beach and Aberdaron is a smashing place.

The cottage was in a great location.

Loved being able to walk to the coastal path. The garden was lovely, really private and secure. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable though the sofa could do with updating.

We visited Glascoed on 17th October 2019 for a week, it’s a very nice end of terrace cottage ideally located for touring the Llyn Peninsula.

There are some pros and cons when it comes to Glascoed and we were a bit concerned about some of the other reviews we had read. It’s true to say that the decor is a bit dated especially the sofa and chairs, the living room carpet also had a large hole cut in it which was covered by a rug. The property was however clean when we arrived. The large enclosed back garden was ideal for our dogs, or so we thought, however there was a break in the fence adjoining the downstairs bathroom filled with deckchairs and garden debris. On our second day we found out why as a massive aggressive Great Dane and Mixed Breed Mastiff tried to break through and attack our dogs (they appeared to be alone guarding the empty property next door and where allowed out periodically). A couple of days in to our trip I also got a very nasty electric shock off the electric storage heater in the living room (not good considering I have a heart condition), Sykes and the owner quickly got an electrician out to rewire and sort out the problem while we where out at one of our trips to the beach. Another issue is the downstairs toilet and bathroom and some very steep stairs, if you need to pee during the night be prepared for a trek! Despite all the negative issues we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Llyn, I wouldn’t return to Glascoed however until it has been updated a little with some new furniture and furnishings.

Had a great week exploring the Llyn peninsula.

Highly recommend Porthdinllean with the lifeboat station, beach with quaint cottages and pub. Well worth the walk. Portmadoc also worth visiting. Cottage cosy and comfortable but agree with previous guests re: housekeeping. We have holidayed in many Sykes cottages and there are always basic items eg washing up liquid and items left by other guests but I assume totally emptied by property management. Suggest the owner pays an unannounced visit. The dogs were in seventh heaven in the beautiful extensive garden.

Glasfryn is a sweet little house, but prospective visitors need to be aware that in the middle of the night the bathroom is a bit of a trek down the wooden flight of stairs and right through the house!

The furniture is also in need of replacing, I scratched myself quite badly on a metal strut sticking out of the back of the sofa, so people with small children need to be careful. The pub in village did an excellent Sunday lunch, and the beaches of Morfa Nefyn and Nefyn are just minutes away by car. The garden was secure which is always a plus when one has a dog.

The whole place needed a deep clean.

Dirty skirting boards. Very dusty lampshades especially over dining table. Oven very dirty and seal around oven loose. Cupboard for own tins etc had to be cleaned before use. Freezer drawer broken and needed cleaning out. Light bulb in smaller bedroom not working. Throws on settee etc need replacing. Perhaps owner should visit and consider finding a different cleaning company. One single bed needs mattress renewed as very uncomfortable and lumpy. Other than that a good holiday and lovely days out.

great place really enjoyed our stay, the oven was not as clean as it could have been the oven trays and some of the oven dishes were a little grubby

This property could be made so much better with just a few small touches; a new set of kitchen utensils and pans and a proper kitchen bin would be enough.

The seating in the living room was really uncomfortable and is probably ready for a change. The garden furniture outside also needs some attention - either a really good clean and then the wooden table varnished or just a new set. I don't think any of the outside furniture had been cleaned for weeks. Despite the location of this property being excellent and the garden providing a great outdoor space to relax the whole place just felt a bit tired, especially the downstairs. The bathroom was fine as were the bedrooms though. Maybe our expectations were a bit high but personally, we were disappointed.

A pleasant and comfortable cottage with a large,secure garden, great for dogs.

The kitchen is well equipped, but really needs a dishwasher. Nice big bed, plenty of hanging space, adequate seating in the lounge and good lighting. We were impressed by the excellent CD collection and some of the artwork on the walls. The only downside is the situation of the bathroom- downstairs, through the lounge, kitchen and utility room. A long trek in the middle of the night. There's not much in the tiny village apart from a convenience store and the pub, which is more of a restaurant. A good base for a short stay to see the Llyn peninsula.

A beautiful home from home.

Lovely secure garden the dogs loved it. As in most of the feedback cleanliness massively let it down.on arrival there wasn't even a toilet roll (much needed after a long journey) It says that included in the rent is the means to make a fire,not there? The bathroom wasn't clean and to be honest the whole cottage is in need of a deep clean maybe once in a while,this however doesn't reflect on the owner as it is managed by a company "Peninsula property management" i have emailed them regarding the lack of proper cleaning. we had to wash the cutlery and crockery that we used before we used it.Cobwebs and dust is in the areas obviously getting missed on the turnover clean. All that said it was a brilliant holiday and would stay there again.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage.

It was perfectly located for exploring the Peninsula and the totally secure garden was a delight for our dog. However, we did agree with previous reviews that the kitchen equipment and oven required a thorough clean, but it would not stop us coming back.

Cottage was fine ,garden great for dogs & us.

Very comfy bed . Cleanliness on our arrival could have been better,bathroom floor hadn't been swept ,agree with previous reviews about cutlery, was dirty & tin of ancient coffee on shelf by back door .Would return but cleaning needs improvement.

The cottage and enclosed garden is lovely, and is a short walk from pub, beaches and short drive to local towns etc.

Also very comfortable bed, and good collection of books and music etc. There are a couple of things that would really improve this cottage. When we arrived it was a lovely afternoon, but turned very cold in the evening. There were only a couple of logs and no sticks newspapers etc to get the log burner going. After a 5 hour drive the last thing you want is to have to go out when you arrive to buy sticks etc. The night storage heaters had been turned off, so we had a very cold first night. Also a few instructions on how the storage heater controls work would be useful. As we came with two dogs it would be nice to be able to wash the floor, especially as the bathroom is downstairs, there is no mop or bucket and the Hoover was next to useless.(think the filters etc need sorting). Also agree with previous guest that kitchen utensils are bit grubby. We left a bag and half of logs sticks newspapers for next guest. Would also be nice for a bit more local information things to do etc in the cottage folder would be useful. We would defiantly stay here again if the above few things were sorted. Wales is a lovely place to visit and this would have been perfect holiday if the few things mentioned had been right.

Was a great little cottage, however it did take a while for us to get the place warm.

Some of the kitchen utensils and crockery were best their best, a little dirty and off putting, I'm sure this could be easily rectified, apart from that we loved it.

The only negative was the bathroom is very cold as the only heating in there is a heated towel rail which isn’t sufficient.

This is a great little cottage, perfect for our small family.

The living room is really comfortable (we loved the log burner) and the beds are really good too. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, with a well equipped kitchen including some essentials like washing up liquid and cooking oil. The bathroom was lovely and modern, but very cold as it's on the ground floor at the back of the house. The study/storage area between the kitchen and bathroom was really useful for when coming in from the rain and getting wellies and rain coats sorted. We also really loved the hifi in the living room and the CD collection was excellent.
