“Amazing location, lovely cottage with all we needed with large fenced off garden for the dogs, and the owners were great (thanks for the tea and biscuits etc, much appreciated after epic drive to get there!”

). Beautiful location with amazing views and walking paths all around and very easy to get to Snowden. Nice pub nearby too. We'll book this cottage again.

“The cottage could be so much better with just a bit more attention to detail and cleanliness.”

Not really big enough for four adults and two dogs. Great location and so nearly there. Must be prepared to live close to the wildlife. Especially the spiders and the mouse. Keep food well protected, but on the plus side we were not bothered by the flies you usually get in remote locations.

- Mr Alexander, September 2020
“I had read a previous report on this property which complained of uncleanliness.”

I discounted this as some people can get very fussy about this (I am not one of them). However, this was also our experience. In particular, the large rug in the sitting area had not been hoovered and was filthy, the kitchen sink and bath were not clean, I didn't want to use the frying pan and oven trays because of their condition and the kitchen table had not been wiped down which, given the current C-19 situation, is frankly unacceptable. Separately, the kitchen was not well equipped which is unusual for a Sykes property. In particular, there was only one frying pan (discinclined to use), a sieve that was too small for a larger group (and had a hole in it) and no salad bowl.

- Mrs Fitzsimmons, March 2020
“The cottage was very well equipped.”

I had to use the door step to sharpen the kitchen knives. It would have been nice to have a window in the sitting room. These are minor details. The seating was very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Thanks for the milk, tea and sugar. I would highly recommen this cottage to stay in, wonderful!

- Mr Richards, February 2020
“Great place to stay in a great location.”

We have stayed here many times and will no doubt stay here again.

- Mrs Robinson, February 2020
“Cottage was lovely its the second time we have visited.”

Its a really good base for visiting the area but in a quiet position. I would especially like to thank the owners for leaving lights and heaters on in the main living area so that it wasnt pitch black and cold when we arrived.

- Mrs Thring, November 2019
“Absolutely stunning location (mountain view in garden), cottage has everything you need and is ideal for dogs.”

Good wifi and phone signal. Beds very comfortable. Great base for exploring Snowdonia and surrounding areas. The Ugly house cafe just up the road on the A5 was a welcome treat. We definately plan to return next summer.

The kitchen was filthy,and I mean filthy,when i opened the oven door everything was covered in thick dirty grease,microwave wasn't much better,fridge hadn't been cleaned properly either,everywhere was grimey,all the rooms had cobwebs in them,which by the looks off them had been there for weeks and weeks,bathroom wasn't to bad,but not a 100%the garden area was just a shambles,the garden was overgrown,and the patio was covered in moss,as indicated in the picture the garden looked very pretty,but there were no plants in pots anywhere,I was totally disappointed by my holiday,couldn't relax in the property at all,did see the owner,and told him how disappointed I was with his property,and he said he would get it sorted,never saw him again,i am a pensioner and saved hard for this holiday,but was a real let down,the cottage was set in a lovely quiet area,but for me it was a absolutely holiday from hell,I have used Sykes Cottages before and not had any problems with them,but this place was 100% awful,I won't be using them again unless I can be guaranteed a clean property,from a very very unhappy

“Great location and cottage”

- Mr Gillett, July 2019
“The Cottage was situated in a perfect place, near all you wanted to visit.”

- Mr Belsom, June 2019
“Lovely cottage, great facilities and well located.”

We had to arrive late which was easily arranged. The cottage was great - all facilities you would need for a trip and owner very friendly to chat to over phone.

- Ms Byrne, May 2019
“We enjoyed our stay at this property.”

Had all that we wanted, including constant hot water, was warm and cosy, a washing machine and tumble dryer, a fully enclosed garden for our dogs and the bed was very comfortable. Situated in an ideal position to explore North Wales.

- Mrs Chandler, May 2019
“A simply stunning location, could not ask for better.”

Cottage is comfortable and well equipped. Would recommend to walkers and lovers of North Wales and all it has to offer.

- Kleiner, April 2019
“The cottage is very cosy although a bit difficult to find at the first time.”

Glad we met the owner on our way and being pointed to the right direction. The cottage has got everything and made us feel like home. The only problem is that it’s cold (we stayed in mid April 2019 and the temperature was around -2 to 10 degrees Celsius) and the radiators are not powerful to warm up the rooms. Otherwise the cottage is excellent and worth a stay over there. Highly recommended.

- Ms Kam, April 2019
“Great location.”

Well equipped cottage with all the comfort you need. Love this place.

- Mr Robinson, April 2019
“The cottage was perfect ideally situated for amazing walks and local pub.”

Piece and quite just what we were looking for. Would highly recommend it.

- Mrs Bluer, March 2019
“We were extremely grateful for the welcome pack after a long drive, especially the local Welsh cakes - much more thoughtful than a pack of ordinary biscuits - and the real milk, rather than the tiny pots.”

On the day after our arrival the area had tremendous floods and Mr Williams, the owner, kindly paid us a visit to ensure we were coping in the inclement weather and to assure us that he was available if we needed anything. Nice personal touch. One potential issue for people not used to lighting a wood burner is that unless this is lit the living area relies on two electric heaters which might not be warm enough in the depths of winter. We were fine but we needed to replenish wood stocks from the nearby village, Betws-y-Coed, after a couple of days. The cottage was delightful and the secluded location perfect for those looking for peace, quiet and tranquillity. Really off the beaten track but only a mile from the main A5. Only neighbours were sheep just over the wall and the spectacular snowy owl that we saw flying through the woods opposite the cottage on the final evening. As keen walkers we enjoyed a range of local walks from the door, including Moel Siabod (recommended if you like the high Fells of the Lake District), over the hill above the A5 to two picturesque lakes (Crafnant and Geirionydd), the tracks to Dolwyddelan and Betws-y-Coed and a ten minute drive to access the Pyg and Miners' tracks up Snowdon. We also had a day exploring the unbeatable open sands and dunes south of Harlech. An amazing week and can't wait to return - hiraeth i'm wlad.

“Lovely Barn conversion in an ideal location , pretty well equipped and warm enough for our mid February break (lit the log burner every evening ) only addition I would suggest is a p.”

I.r lamp outside for those evenings when you get home in the dark , not a complaint just a suggestion . Great place . Mr Weaver from Bristol

- Mr Weaver, February 2019
“Lovely cottage would definitely recommend and would stay again”

- Mrs Oneill, February 2019
“This cottage is a delight if you love a little isolation especially with your dog, situated in some lovely scenery & a large dog safe garden .”

The only thing to be prepared for is (In very cold weather & of course we expected it in February) it is useful to know that heating the kitchen / lounge is more reliant on the multi fuel stove & extra fuel may need to be purchased to sustain this. Also of course the ability to light it. None of this was a problem but just useful to know. The cottage is very comfortable throughout & would love to re visit!

- Mr Johnson, February 2019
“Great location .”

Bed were really comfy and the place was cosy and warm .shower could do with an upgrade but was adequate. In all a great holiday cottage

- Mr Hardy, December 2018
“Excellent location for a walking holiday, quietly tucked away but a short distance to either Capel Curig or into the hills for walking.”

Appreciated the fact it was dog friendly and good WIFI also.
