“Relaxing”

This 2 storey cottage is amazing, the views are picturesque, everything is catered for from the moment you arrive. When you enter the property there is a hamper of fresh local produce provided. You can feel the warmth of the cottage welcoming you. The views of the lake, stream and hills are breathtaking, you get the same views from the hot tub, which is heated and ready to use.

This 2 storey cottage is amazing, the views are picturesque, everything is catered for from the moment you arrive. When you enter the property there is a hamper of fresh local produce provided. You can feel the warmth of the cottage welcoming you. The views of the lake, stream and hills are breathtaking, you get the same views from the hot tub, which is heated and ready to use. If there is a down side, I would say it has to be having to book with sykes cottages. If there is another option for booking this lovely place I would stay again and as soon as I possibly could..

“Lovely property, spotlessessly clean.”

Great hot tub. Stunning location. Unless a very keen walker car required. Lovely well kept gardens.

- Mrs West, July 2020
Mrs Price July 2020

“A lovely relaxing break at the Granary, would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to come back.”

The property is fairly remote with nothing in safe walking distance so it might not suit everyone but it didn't matter to us as we were out and about driving to different places each day and then looking forward to spending a relaxing evening in the Granary taking in the amazing views and tranquility.

- Mrs Price, July 2020
Mr Kristan February 2020

“A very well maintained well run property in the heart on welsh wales.”

We normally go away this time of year ( Half term week Feb) and The Granary didn’t disappoint. The locals are very friendly and always stop for a chat. I’ll happily recommend The Granary to anyone. P.s make sure you enjoy the free range eggs as they are first class xx

I'm going go back soon as we can

Mrs Whyte October 2019

“We had a wonderful stay at the granary.”

Cleanliness was outstanding to the finishing touches of having milk, butter and eggs to welcome us. The hot tub was amazing with beautiful views of the countryside. We will definitely return. If I was to say a negative it would of been nice to have a larger tv perhaps with a DVD player as WiFi is not great. That to be fair did not bother us as that’s why we loved the place, the WiFi is great for checking on social media etc but not good for streaming films etc. Thank you for an outstanding stay we couldn’t of asked for more

- Mrs Whyte, October 2019
Mrs Sandham October 2019

“The setting of these cottages is idyllic, a great place to relax and also have fun.”

There was 4 ladies celebrating a 50th Birthday, so the hot tub was the main attraction and the views are fantastic while sat chilling in there. The accommodation was nearly perfect, the only problem was it was very hot.

- Mrs Sandham, October 2019
Dr Karuppiah October 2019

“We had gone as a family and enjoyed the cottage a lot.”

The owner was very friendly and welcoming. There was a lot of privacy and was very quite considering the whole accommodation was full. The jacuzzi was the highlight of the stay!. Definitely worth a place worth staying again.

- Dr Karuppiah, October 2019
Mrs Davies September 2019

“Lovely time yet again in the granary.”

Lots of great places to visit. Julia the owner lovely as ever. Sunrise over mountains is a must see!

Miss Greaves September 2019

“Lovely cottage, brilliant facilities, would definitely come again”

- Miss Greaves, September 2019
Mrs Fretwell August 2019

“The Granary was an absolutely top class accommodation and both the outside and inside was really special.”

I do not normally recommend places but this one was brilliant. It was also in a good location to reach anywhere both north and mid Wales.

- Mrs Fretwell, August 2019
Mrs Hall August 2019

“The accommodation was good, owner very friendly.”

We went as a family and hadn't realised before going that the nearest village was via a very narrow road thus were unable to walk with young children. As a family we like to walk, cycle but this was not a possibility. The remoteness and accessibility were the only negatives but the property itself was lovely

- Mrs Hall, August 2019
Mr Flannery August 2019

“Just a fantastic place to stay very welcoming and a home from home we had a lovely time there”

- Mr Flannery, August 2019
Miss Caprani July 2019

“This place was a perfect base for us to explore north wales with our 2 young daughters.”

The house itself had everything you could need to make a holiday with small children run smoothly, we really couldn’t have asked for any more to be provided! The facilities and cleanliness were outstanding. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the hot tub just great! It was easy to find, great quiet location if you just want to get away from it all. We went on some lovely walks and because it is so quiet we hardly saw anyone at all! We went to the zoo, seaside towns, lakes, waterfalls, steam trains all within about a 40/50 minute drive so it is not completely out of the way. We really enjoyed it here and would recommend to anyone who likes peace and quiet and doesn’t mind driving out to busier/more touristy places. We hope to return in the future, the week we wanted for next year is already booked and I can understand why! Great holiday home.

- Miss Caprani, July 2019
Mr O'shaughnessy June 2019

“The views from the granary are spectacular looking across the meadow,to the river and rising to the mountain.”

Cynwyd is a good base to explore North Wales

- Mr O'shaughnessy, June 2019
Miss Halwood June 2019

“Beautiful cottage with amazing views, of your after total relaxation this is perfect, not great for walking, lovely country side all around but all farm land, resorted to walking down very narrow country lanes, nearest village is just over a mile away, with very little going on !”

Mr Davies March 2019

“Just got back from staying in the granary, fantastic place.”

Views lovely, hot tub great. Great places to visit. Owners lovely, recommend the eggs!!

- Mr Davies, March 2019
Mrs Gentle March 2019

“The host was lovely, we had milk, eggs, butter, dishwasher tabs etc there when we arrived.”

The hot tub was great (although not secluded) so it is a lovely place. However, some things spoiled the week a bit due to expectations not being met with the description. Restricted internet access was not advised in the description of this cottage and I would not have booked it had I been aware. When you go to Wales for a week in March, you know the weather will be mixed so we went looking forward to cosy days and evenings watching Skygo (for the F1) and Netflix. We couldn’t even watch Utube! This was a big deal for us as we both have very busy jobs and this was time to de-stress. The description said there was good broadband. Very disappointed with this and it spoiled the week in what otherwise is a lovely cottage and setting. You also need to make it clear on the site that you CANT walk on the beautiful fields in the pictures. You have to walk for ages along a single track road before getting to a riverside trail to walk the dog, so it was quite restrictive. The heating is also not controllable, which was fine on the chilly evenings as there are blankets but one night, the master bedroom was overheating (27 degrees it said on the controller!) so I couldn’t sleep and couldn’t turn it down. The mattress on the master bed is also past it’s best being a bit hard. These are things to be aware off - if people know of these things, this would be absolutely fine as we still had a lovely week in a a lovely cottage - you just need to ensure people know exactly what they are getting so there are no disappointments. I had my kindle so got lots of reading done, but my husband doesn’t read, so these little things like internet are important - even if it had cost more. However, I would recommend the place, the owner is lovely and it’s a gorgeous setting and very well maintained cottage.

Miss Johnson March 2019

“Fantastic place to stay!”

The cottage was like a home from home. We definitely plan to come back again in the future.

- Miss Johnson, March 2019
Mrs Todd March 2019

“Very quiet secluded location.”

With beautiful scenery. Lovely weekend away and we all came away relaxed and refreshed. The barn itself had everything you needed and the hot tub was a real treat. Julia was very friendly and accommodating but also let you have complete privacy.

- Mrs Todd, March 2019
Miss Clay February 2019

“We had a fabulous time at The Granary!”

We felt very relaxed, comfortable and at home throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this location to our family and friends. We hope to visit again. Although our accommodation was located in the countryside it was still very easy to visit popular destinations in North Wales, plus the peace and quiet of the countryside was lovely! Thank you so much to Julia and Lee Jones for making our stay perfect!

- Miss Clay, February 2019
Miss Martin-Jones February 2019

“Absolutely beautiful cottage and location would highly recommend and returning again in future.”

Thank you

Miss Trippitt November 2018

“Loved all of it.”

Perfect little cation, very clean, information pack was helpful. Everything worked in the cottage, comfortable. Only thing that bothered us (not a massive issue though!) it would have been nice to be able to alter the heating ourselves. Would reccomend and would love to stay again.

- Miss Trippitt, November 2018
Mr Hopkins November 2018

“A very enjoyable week with plenty to do within fairly easy reach ie visits to Portmeirion, Snowdon, Caernavon, Mach Loop (and much more) and if you want to go a little further, Ironbridge and the Severn Valley Railway are within fairly easy reach.”

The accommodation itself was excellent and much time was spent in the hot tub. We would be very happy to return to The Granary and certainly recommend it to others.

- Mr Hopkins, November 2018
Miss Abbott October 2018

Mr Osler September 2018

“Cottage is a peaceful location with stunning views across the valleys.”

We couldn't complement the host enough for being helpful and friendly through out the duration of our stay. Everything you needed for your stay was there. The Wi-Fi was upgraded half way through our stay and it now has great coverage and works alot faster. I would definitely recommend to anyone and would return again.

- Mr Osler, September 2018
Mr Hagen September 2018

“The holiday was fantastic from start to finish, even the occasional rain didn't put us off.”

Julie was on hand if we had any queries at any time and was extremely welcoming. The views from this property were breath taking and there was plenty of space for our 2 jack russell terriers to have a good run around - on lead. The hot tub was a great addition and we had an amazing time. We would definitely recommend to others and would love to stay again in the future.

- Mr Hagen, September 2018
Miss Laws September 2018

“Lovely stay at the Granary Cottage.”

Only two things: hot tub could have been made more private and more kitchen utensils and crockery.

- Miss Laws, September 2018
Mrs Redman August 2018

“We loved the views/location etc.”

Julia was incredibly welcoming and helpful. We had plenty of space and the facilities were immaculately kept. The hot tub was clean and not overly chlorinated which made it much more enjoyable than many places we have stayed. Personally I would have liked a slightly better equipped kitchen in terms of nonstick pans/implements etc but everything else was great.

- Mrs Redman, August 2018

Mr Oswin July 2018

“Me and my girlfriend stayed in the Granary cottage for 4 nights.”

It is a lovely cottage in a great setting, not too far from Snowdonia and perfect for a peaceful break away. The cottage was clean and tidy and we loved having breakfast and tea on the balcony taking in the great views. The hot tub was a nice addition and again you have great views when in the hot tub which is a bonus! Overall we had a great stay and would not hesitate to book again!

- Mr Oswin, July 2018
Mr Meeten June 2018

The owners have done a fantastic job with the barn conversions...the location is idyllic with beautiful views...and the hot tub is the the icing on the cake

- Mr Meeten, June 2018
Mr Nikolaisen June 2018

“The weekend was for me and my partner for a little break as we arrived Julia was very welcoming.”

It was very relaxing and peaceful, the cottage was really clean and cosy. The hot tub was always ready for us from morning till night. There was leaflets left of things to do around the area. We have already recommended it to our friends and family and we will definitely be back! We enjoyed every minute of it!
