“Great location and cottage”
Mrs Skipper September 2019

“The kitchen was filthy,and I mean filthy,when i opened the oven door everything ...”

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

“The Cottage was situated in a perfect place, near all you wanted to visit.”
Ms Byrne May 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.
Mrs Chandler 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.
Mr Robinson April 2019

“Great location.”

Well equipped cottage with all the comfort you need. Love this place.
Miss Kleiner April 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.
Ms Kam 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.
Mrs Bluer March 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 Kearvell-white 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
Mrs Oneill February 2019

“Lovely cottage would definitely recommend and would stay again”
Mr Johnson 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 Hardy December 2018

“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
Miss Adams September 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.
Miss Rafferty August 2018

“The Cottage was a fantastic base area for all the things we wanted to do.”
Miss Taylor August 2018

“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting, We had a wonderful time!”

Perfect location for all the lovely local walks.
Mrs Lewis July 2018

“Lovely cottage in an ideal location”
Mr Nutt June 2018

“The owner went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, even supplying an extra fan for the hot weather.”

This was a lovely isolated cottage with good facilities, cosy and a great retreat in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. An Ideal location to explore the wonders of North wales.
Mrs Parker June 2018

“Sykes as a holiday company I cannot fault.”

...you give very good company service and any staff I spoke to were very helpful and pleasant to talk to,unfortunately this particular cottage was not as clean as I would have expected...there was thick grease around cookerhood,the freezer compartment door of the fridge did not close due to build up of ice and there were cobwebs around the windows.I don’t wish to be negative but if your customers are not honest regarding a review then there is no point to them. We have been to North Wales before,and hope to visit again using Sykes Cottages again.
Mr Van Dijk June 2018

“The cottage was not clean at all .”

The double bedroom we can not use there where too many mosquitos(1000). The furnuture in the pictures was not there is was even older. The mold was in the kitchen en bathroom. However the location was beautifull.
Mrs Bray May 2018

“The cottage location is pretty unique and beautiful.”

It is always lovely and warm and The beds are comfortable. Each time we return improvements continue to have been made. The grass would benefit from being cut. Mr Williams is very responsive to any problems. We have been to the cottage several times and wouldn't hesitate to return. Ideal cottage for dog owners.
Dr Rogers April 2018
