Jonathan August 2020

“The cottage was well presented and the welcome great though by phone in current pandemic circumstance.”

We had everything we needed though tea towels would have been useful (I suspect not supplied due to pandemic precautions) Would definitely visit again if we have opportunity. Its a most beautiful location

“Kathy was wonderful and friendly and the cottage is in beautiful surroundings with everything you need for a lovely stay.”

We couldn't have asked for more, I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Dan December 2019

“The cottage itself is lovely, comfortable with great views.”

It's well equipped with kitchen gear and information. The owners did a lot to make us feel welcome though and provided extra's I was not expecting. There were Christmas decorations which added to the cosiness and a few New Years treats to make the stay even nicer.

- Dan, December 2019
Kristen November 2019

Zena November 2018

“Had a lovely break.”

Cottage comfy and hosts very welcoming

- Zena, November 2018
Julie September 2018

“I am extremely disappointed that Sykes overcharged me so much for this holiday.”

The average weekly rates for that particular cottages was actually lower than we had paid for 3 nights! 324 for a week yet we were charged £330 for a weekend. This is unfair and extortionate and for that reason alone I would never use Sykes nor reccomend the company again.

- Julie, September 2018
Stephen July 2018

“Fantastic, great location and brilliant hosts.”

- Stephen, July 2018
Susan May 2018

“I have had many cottage holidays over the years - this must go to the top of my list!”

The cottage was full of character, very comfortable and clean and in a beautiful secluded location. The hosts were most welcoming and provided milk on arrival (most appreciated) together with homemade Welsh cakes that were so tasty I ordered more to take back home with me. Provided in the cottage were loads of useful information - books - leaflets etc. on things to do and walks to go on. Snowdonia is one of my favourite locations and finding this cottage has made my visit absolutely perfect. Needless to say, I will be booking again!

- Susan, May 2018
Lorraine April 2018

“Lovely accommodation in a beautiful away from it all setting.”

Just what we were looking for. Additional bonus is that it is 5mins away from Zip world. Great hosts who we met on arrival. Unfortunately there was no WiFi but it was a refreshing change!

- Lorraine, April 2018
Ian October 2017

Rita June 2017

“The cottage was very cosy and well equipped.”

- Rita, June 2017
Helen June 2017

“Arfron is a lovely cottage and the owners are wonderful.”

- Helen, June 2017
Mandy August 2016

“These cottages are in an excellent quite location.”

Perfectly clean and comfortable. The owners were very helpful without being intrusive. Although linked each cottage has a private front patio with outdoor chairs and table. You wouldn't know you had neighbours, probably due to the very thick walls. Right in the heart of the beautiful countryside but within easy reach of the local attractions and excellent walks, forests, water falls and mountains. We took our dog Hector and found that an area of hillside, fenced off was right next door solely for the dog to run around safely :) We would go here again.

- Mandy, August 2016
William June 2016

“The location was ideal for us - quiet and secluded with stunning scenery.”

The owners were very friendly and welcoming and appeared to have thought of everything, particularly for visitors with a dog.

- William, June 2016
Mrs Davies May 2016

Wonderful area. The cottage itself was wonderfully equipped, very warm and cosy with a lovely welcome from the owners who were very friendly and approachable. We are definitely planning on returning one day.

- Mrs Davies, May 2016
Karen April 2016

“This is a well appointed, very cosy cottage that was more spacious than the photos suggest.”

The owners are fantastic hosts and very welcoming. We will definitely return to explore more of Snowdonia.

- Karen, April 2016
Heather April 2016

“The owners were lovely and so helpful, can't fault them or the property.”

They had thought of everything you could possibly ever need. The property is just lovely too, very quaint.

- Heather, April 2016
Kim February 2016

“The view from Arfron, Penrhyddion Pella was amazing .”

The owner was very welcoming and whilst we didn't need any assistance I did feel that we could have asked and help would have been given. Whilst it is 3 properties made from one barn I felt it was surprisingly private. I cooked in the cottage each night and each utensil/item I needed was there. The owner had really thought about what was in the cupboards.

- Kim, February 2016
Catherine November 2015

“The cottage was perfect; warm, cosy and really well equipped.”

We had a fantastic weekend despite the wet weather and would definitely recommend it and hope to stay again.

- Catherine, November 2015

Dale July 2014

“We were made very welcome and everything that we could want was provided.”

- Dale, July 2014
James&Catherine April 2014

“The situation of the property was excellent, over looking the valleys and mountains, so peaceful and beautiful, if you want a quiet holiday away from it all, this is the place to come to.”

Our hosts very kindly left us some home made Welsh cakes and fresh milk for a welcome cup of tea. It was very much appreciated.

- James&Catherine, April 2014
Tomas August 2013

“Very nice cottage, and owners, based in a beautiful and peaceful place.”

- Tomas, August 2013
Sarann August 2013

“It was one of the nicest cottages that I have stayed in for a holiday.”

You were made to feel very welcome and it felt like home from home. It was ideal as it was away from everything and very isolated. If we go back to that area for another break I would definitely consider using the same cottage again.

- Sarann, August 2013
Elizabeth June 2013

“This accommodation was very well equipped with a lot of extras provided as well as home made welsh cakes on our arrival.”

The owners were extremely helpful and were on call for any problems. The holiday let is in a lovely position up in the peaceful hills with a view of Snowdon, but near enough to local towns for shopping.

- Elizabeth, June 2013

Martyn August 2011

“The owners made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much for them.”

They even welcomed us when we arrived. This was the first time for me at this cottage and it won't be the last for sure. Also, this was an ideal location in the Snowdon range for all the beautiful walks we did.

- Martyn, August 2011
Robert June 2011

“The owners were so welcoming and I felt that I could call them at any time.”

They made us feel very comfortable, more like friends than paying guests.

- Robert, June 2011

“Beautiful, lovely cottage with a beautiful view to the Snowdonia mountains.”

- Wilma, April 2011
Robert August 2010

“The location was excellent with views over the mountains, in a secluded location yet only a few miles from main routes.”

It was a very nice cottage, formed from a barn conversion with plenty of character and original stone work. The owners were friendly but situated remote enough not to feel you were invading their space. Overall a lovely holiday even with it raining for a couple of days!

- Robert, August 2010
Christa July 2010

“The warm welcome we received was really lovely and made us feel very much at home.”

- Christa, July 2010
Jean June 2010

“Everything!”

It was absolutely perfect. The cottage was gorgeous, the views were stunning and as a bonus, the weather was superb! We were able to barbecue every night. We went to walk and what a lovely walking area, we also climbed Snowdon. Absolutely fabulous! Can’t speak highly enough about it.

- Jean, June 2010

Keith August 2006

“If the cottage wasn't breathtaking enough, just to turn around and see the panoramic views of the Snowdonia National Park was the icing on the cake.”

The owners provided such nice little touches on arrival. Although they were on hand to help if required they weren't on the doorstep at every turn. A highly recommended property!!!!

- Keith, August 2006
