• "We had another lovely week at the Little Bakehouse."

  However, we were disappointed in Sykes on this occasion having been loyal customers for many years. We had a problem with the recycling collection, contacted on WhatsApp, got asked unnecessary questions like booking refs which I didn't have whilst out and about then they went silent on my. Got it sorted out myself in the end, but poor customer service.

• "Beautiful private place."

  Great friendly neighbours ,amazing location. Beds comfortable and adequate space. In my opinion the only way it could be improved would be more upto date bedding to compliment the bedrooms and replacing the towels and sofa blankets as they felt and looked past their sell by date. ,Also a tv upstairs would be great. We loved the area and thought we would love to stay again as it was so relaxing and beautiful there.

• "Once inside the property this beautiful, cosy cottage is very welcoming, comfortable and furnished to a high standard."

  It had everything we needed and obviously a lot of thought has gone into providing all the essentials required for its customers. However, unfortunately the cottage is let down by its shabby exterior. The front is overgrown with bushes that need trimming back and the fencing is all broken and looks very untidy, which is such a shame as it spoils the overall impression. Parking was also an issue for us and I think clearer instructions should be made available on this subject.

• "We had a lovely week here."

  The cottage was absolutely spotless and really beautifully done out. Great location, we loved the beaches and the ice cream shop round the corner was great. Perfect location for us climbing Snowdon and visiting the other popular sites. Would definitely visit again.

• "Had a fantastic stay."

  Really close to the sea and the views are fantastic. Brilliant coastal walks in both directions. Great for dog walking and lots of dog friendly cafès in the town. The house itself was perfect and had everything we needed. There's a well enclosed (although small) courtyard at the back of the kitchen which was perfect for the dog. If, like mine, your dog is likely to try and escape, this is very secure and there's no way out. The house is very modern and clean. The beds were comfortable and the linen and towels provided were great. I wouldn't think twice about booking again. I've booked many holiday cottages through Sykes and this is up there with the best considering value for money, location and the quality of the accomodation. I would say parking is the only downside as there isn't parking at the property itself, but there's plenty of parking nearby.

• "Great cottage, very clean, well maintained and some excellent energy saving lighting and heating ideas."

  Great location too, very quiet and peaceful. Overall it was one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Shame that there was only a double bed, but that is the limit for the size of the bedrooms in this old cottage. I'm 1.96m so not ideal for me. Could do with a small table in front of the settee, but apart from that very well appointed. What3words. Car park & cottage ///footpath.patio.runways ///tidal.this.titles

• "Little Bakehouse was perfect!"

  My partner and I took our 2 dogs away for a week in Criccieth. The location of Little Bakehouse is brilliant, nice and quiet but only a 5-10 minute walk to the beaches. The cottage was spotless and the courtyard at the back was perfect for letting the dogs out first thing / last thing at night. Everything worked as per the instructions left and it just had such a lovely feel about the place - we would definitely come back. One tiny suggestion: perhaps put a couple of suggestions in your welcome pack about nearby places to go - we discovered Beddgelert (and Beddgelert forest with its beautiful lake) - help your guests explore the surrounding areas.

• "Took a little time to find tbis lovely cottage but we were very happy with it."

  The only negative i can genuinely give is as previos guests had are the stairs are narrow and steep, i am partially disabled and found them difficult. And not as close to the sea as we thought. But for those of you who don,t have any difficulties this is a truely lovely place.

  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Little Bakehouse. We will make sure that the agency highlights better the information about the stairs in the property on the website. Property Owner

• "This is a great little cottage in a beautiful location."

  It has a well equipped kitchen and the lounge area had two very comfortable settees. The garden is compact but adequate and when our two small dogs went out we knew they were completely safe and if the weather was nice, it would be a lovely place to sit . There is not much room at the side of the bed in the main room to get into bed and could prove difficult for some. It is very near local amenities (shop, pub , chipshop). It makes a wonderful base for exploring the area. If we come back to the area we would definitely stay here again

• "We loved the Little Bakehouse once we found it, had to contact owners as with the directions given and Sat Nav we still couldn’t find it!"

  …needs a note putting on the white door saying to come through that, everything in the cottage was spotless , facilities great, brilliant for the 2 of us and 2 small dogs…but sadly, we both suffered really badly with severe back ache after just one night in the double bed, the bed slopes to the wall and is really hard so not great, tried the other bed, same kind of Mattress, too hard, ended up sleeping in turns on the sofa, if it wasn’t for the beds I would def book here again, as the location is superb, but having not had a decent nights sleep all week, it did put a bit of a downer on our week.

  I'm sorry that you found the directions to the property confusing, however I'm relieved that I was able to help. Following this being brought to my attention, the directions have now been amended and the mattresses which you found uncomfortable have now been changed. I'm sorry that you found these aspects of the property unsatisfactory, I'd love to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

  The stairs require a refurb and whilst the garden may have right of way access its not ideal.Whilst the cottage has effectively two double rooms 4 people around the very small table represents a challenge.The bedrooms are very small and space is at a premium.Its location and its parking need to further defined as well.

• "We really enjoyed our stay here."

  We arrived a bit early, so we could find the location in the daylight as we thought it might be a bit tricky to locate (it was) and it was just about to be cleaned so we went off to explore. The property is very nice, clean, modern and with tasteful good quality furnishings. Downstairs is more spacious than expected. It has everything you can possibly need. The little courtyard is really cute but as it was January we didn’t get to enjoy it. Had the best sleep we have had in ages, comfy beds (a bit soft to our preference but still ok) and it was soooo quiet. Being January it was very cold but heating in the property was great, and we were very cosy. We parked in front of the bungalow as instructed, it’s a bit of a tight squeeze getting past the houses in Henbont Rd if you’ve got a large car. Criccieth is lovely, we went to the little cafe Tir a Mor by the level crossing which was very nice (it was closed after that at the start of the week which was disappointing as we would have gone back). Also wanted a Chinese takeaway on our final night but it was closed due to Chinese New Year so we got a kebab & burger from the shop on the High St instead which was awful. We also ate at Dylan’s which was OK. Would thoroughly recommend this property!

  Located close to the castle and the beach yet tucked away for peace and quiet. A very pretty cottage. Although to mention a problem with the heating may sound a negative, the speed at which the owner addressed it was commendable, couldn't have asked for more, resolved within hours. In which case I could recommend the property on all points. An added bonus were the few residents we met who lived close to the cottage; all friendly and helpful. A nice experience.

  I also resent this email. None Of these questions were answered apart from being very bluntly told we could not arrive between 3-4pm even though the only options were for 3-4 or 4-5. The cost of the accommodation was very very expensive, presumably to take full advantage of People holidaying in the UK During a worldwide pandemic, we also did not expect to have to strip all of the beds and laundry and take out all of the rubbish whilst paying £320 per night including the cost of 6 hours cleaning.

• "The booking was organised in an extremely efficient way, pre-holiday queries were addressed politely and helpfully and our self inflicted crisis on a dark and cold Sunday evening was managed so kindly and calmly."

  I can’t quite believe that there was such an impressive helpline available to us out of office hours. Every single aspect of Menai holidays assistance has been exemplary throughout our holiday for which we are so very grateful. The apartment was very well decorated and organised with so many helpful additions that made the holiday enjoyable. It was cosy, clean and tidy with very friendly neighbours around who were happy to chat to us as visitors. The way the outside space was designed was ideal for us to feel secure and private, and we felt very spoiled with auto lighting... we have serious courtyard envy now and since being home, am slightly confused when lights don’t come on immediately as we enter!! The town was delightful; we found open and friendly people and great service in cafes shops and restaurants in the most beautiful setting with both coastal and beach walks for dogs.

• "The cottage is well situated and modern."

  It's ideally located - within easy reach of most of North Wales's attractions (by car). It is advertised as for 5 people - which technically it can accommodate - but would be a squeeze for 5 adults. The second bedroom is more appropriate for 3 children. We had a mild concern about cleanliness. The bed in the second bedroom had a couple of long hairs in there... We didn't use the washing machine as there was some sort of black sludge in the conditioner compartment (we subsequently washed by hand and only used the washing machine as a dryer). Beyond that, it is a delightful cottage, well maintained (apart from the washing machine). A large lounge and a good sized kitchen. Plenty of parking nearby.
