"We had a fantastic stay, perfect location for visiting the surrounding area and Criccieth only 5 miles down the road."
Situated on a main road but you couldn't hear the traffic at all inside. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean on arrival along with beautiful flowers, wine and chocolates and everything was provided. The beds were extremely comfortable and the enclosed garden was perfectly dog friendly. The owners were so friendly and helpful, we shall definitely be returning. There is so much to see and do in this part of Wales, you're spoilt for choice.

"On arrival we were delighted to find that Nerys and her husband kept the cottage absolutely pristine."
We have never been so lucky as to go to somewhere so well equipped. Everything you need was there for you, including a bottle of wine ,chocolates and flowers.
The owners were delightful, infact Nerys baked us some cakes and I think my husband has found another tractor enthusiast!!!!!
Garden was great for the dogs and plenty of patio furniture for us humans too.
All in all, a really comfortable, quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
We would definitely recommend the cottage and its owners especially if you want to get away from it all.
Absolutely "spot on".

"This is a wonderful, clean and fully equipped little cottage, has ample parking, a very secure garden and luxurious comfy beds."
This property has clearly been thought about by its owners Nerys and Dewi.
There is a beach, 15 minutes drive away, which is great for running the dogs (after 30th Sept), and small aircraft museum too. Supermarket in Porthmadog - 6 miles drive. Snowdon approximately 15 miles away if you're looking to experience walking in the mountains.
This cottage is on a busy road, which I hadn't appreciated, however road noise is minimal and not really and issue, although the frequent the cattle market opposite, can make it difficult to turn out of the property.
You couldn't really ask for more - everything to hand.

"I don't think I've ever stayed in such a comfortable and well equipped holiday cottage."
We rarely eat out during our holidays as it's not that easy with our dog, so having such a well equipped kitchen made a huge difference to me. The added touch of welcome chocolates, flowers and wine was a real delight too. Nerys was a wonderful host and even treated us to some home baking, which was delicious. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and would be wonderful for sitting out and enjoying summer evenings. The location was ideal for accessing all the places we wanted to visit.

"Cottage had everything we needed."
Owner lived next door and was lovely. We were greeted as we arrived and there was a bottle of wine, flowers and a box of chocolates waiting for us which we thought was a lovely touch. We had a meal booked at the goat the say we arrived for our anniversary and Nerys kindly gave us a lift to the pub so we could both have a drink. Cottage was immaculate- yes the ceiling in the bedroom was very low but it added to the quirkiness of the place. Garden safely enclosed for the dogs. All I. All a lovely place to stay.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and so well equipped (the kitchen was better equipped than mine at home) Nothing was too much trouble for the owner and she was always on hand to help and give us local knowledge. The location is perfect if you’re after a quiet break but was still fairly local to amenities. Great location for some of the best walks and lovely beaches close by. I’d definitely recommend this property and would certainly stay again if I come back to the area for another holiday.

Nerys, the owner, has thought of everything. From my first contact with her, she has been extremely friendly & helpful. She greeted us upon arrival & showed us around. There was a bottle of wine in the fridge, chocolates & fresh flowers to greet us. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the cleanest cottage we have ever stayed in. The best equipped cottage for a holiday. It was perfect & Nerys & her husband Dewi gave us lots of information on the local area. The Llyn Peninsula is stunning, we had fabulous weather with only 1 day where it rained. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough & we will definitely be returning.

The owners, Nerys and Dewi, were very friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was clear that considerable thought had gone into what was needed - the kitchen particularly so. The enclosed garden was great for the two dogs as were the two fields at the back. We were very fortunate with the weather and all enjoyed sitting by the stream.
The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the Snowdonia National Park as well as the Lleyn Peninsula.

"Having booked with Sykes Cottages before I know the descriptions about the cottages are usually pretty accurate."
Where we stayed at Bryncir gave very good access to both mountains and beaches. It is an ideal location for those wishing to walk, cycle, wild swim or have the odd day relaxing at the coast or sightseeing. Long distance cycle path no. 8 passes within 2 minutes cycle ride of the cottage, and there are several good walks within 20minutes drive in every direction. The owners are very helpful, and any problem is dealt with immediately.

"Positives - well equipped kitchen, good location for touring, friendly owners
Negatives - on a busy main road, small with very restricted head space upstairs."
Misleading - details say that cottage has its own garden. The one day the weather was good enough for lunch outside, I opened the back door and found that the owner, friends and dogs had taken it over. Quite annoying. Details should also warn about location a busy main road.
Thank you for your feedback. The property does have 2 acres of land and as soon as I saw you in the back garden we returned back to the house.
