“Although the cottage was very comfortable and the owners superb we feel Sykes Cottages themselves were lacking when it came to communication.”

We asked questions by e mail because we could not get through on the phone , which , to this day have not been answered. However as soon as we had the owners’ details and we telephoned they could not have been more helpful and welcoming , and we enjoyed our stay at their cottage immensely .

Mrs Minnitt December 2020

“I had queries regarding the arrival time which I put to Sykes' representative.”

The representative said she would contact the owner with the queries and come back to us with a reply. However, she did not, but instead sent an email the next day saying they were not able to accommodate our request. In fact the owner of the cottage telephoned and let us know the change of arrival time was owing to longer cleaning times of the cottage because of Covid. She was helpful and let us arrive 1 1/2 hours earlier. The cottage was out in the mountains and countryside and it was difficult to arrive in the dark and find the cottage - if it had been later it would have been even more difficult. I am the carer for a disabled person and this was a difficult situation. Perhaps there should be a longer interval between guests to allow an earlier arrival time? The cottage was lovely and well equipped and comfortable for two people, even though quite small. The surrounding countryside was beautiful, with walks all around and in a very peaceful setting. It was a really relaxing stay and (apart from an earlier arrival time, which is due to the very difficult times we are in) everything was perfect.

Dr Rodenas August 2020

“The owners of the cottage really went above and beyond in making sure the cottage was as clean as possible before we arrived.”

They were incredibly helpful and kind and made us feel safe taking a break during the current pandemic. We could not have hoped for better and we'd really recommend staying at this property. I cannot commend the owners more highly as they were truly exceptional. The cottage itself was extremely comfortable, situated in a very quiet spot with beautiful views and very close to some of the best walking in Wales. It was well equipped and had everything we needed for a calm relaxing holiday.

- Dr Rodenas, August 2020
Miss Phillips August 2020

“We had such a wonderful couple of days in Meifod, the cottage is beautifully situated with wonderful views of the countryside and a shirt drive to Betws y Coed.”

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and everything was spotlessly clean. A very cosy, homely cottage perfect for our family break. Thank you.

Miss Bentley March 2019

“The owners were welcoming and friendly.”

We had total peace and quiet the whole time. The cottage was beautifully kept, cosy and warm, with everything we needed for our stay. The location was stunning with gorgeous views, abundant wildlife and rolling mountains and countryside everywhere. A nature lover's paradise.

- Miss Bentley, March 2019
Mr Adams June 2018

“Every time my wife looked at the cottage from her PC she was inundated with emails - she will not be using Sykes again.”

As I booked the holiday from my PC I found that my personal calendar on my phone updated from yourselves with this holiday - obviously double booking the whole week. I found this insulting, patronising and completely unnecessary, as well as invading my personal diary - I shall have to look at permissions to ensure nobody else can do this. Consequently I shall not be using Sykes again. There are plenty of other companies who are better in a number of respects. We also found the website unhelpful in a number of ways. Not least all cottage descriptions could be fuller. However on the good side the cottage was lovely, very clean and the hosts friendly and helpful. A very quiet and picturesque location. Had a wonderful holiday. Pity the lead up to it was spoilt by the calendar issue and a mountain of unwanted emails.

- Mr Adams, June 2018
Ms Snowling June 2018

“Once again Kathy and John have excelled in their welcoming to a fantastic cottage in amazing countryside.”

We absolutely love staying here and would recommend anyone to do the same!

- Ms Snowling, June 2018
Mr Moody April 2018

“Meifod is the central cottage in a barn conversion of three.”

We were on a father and son walking trip and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. Exactly as described, and very comfortable. The heating system is very good, the beds comfortable and the kitchen/diner/sitting area just right for a small family. The property owners were very welcoming, including to our dog, which was nice. The location is excellent, being away from the main roads but with some good walking right on the doorstep. There is more local information available in the cottage than you can possibly have time to absorb! All in all, a great stay. Many thanks.

- Mr Moody, April 2018
Dr Bailey April 2018

“Lovely cottage in beautiful part of the world.”

Kathy and John made us feel at home straight away and the milk and Welsh cakes were nice touch. Only thought to improve would be an outdoor box for very muddy boots but only because they made the cottage bit muddy. Would definitely go again. Many thanks, Karen,Tim and Orla

Mr Harris November 2017

“Only gave cottage `Met Expectations ` as this was our second visit and we already knew the quality, convenience etc.”

And it still met our complete requirements. As expected, the hosts had thought of everything, and I mean everything, even down to first aid kit, needles and thread, local guidebooks and information etc.. We cannot speak too highly of this cottage, its location and the owners. The owners are charming, thoughtful and very efficient. PS We are not related etc. to the owners in any way!

- Mr Harris, November 2017
Mr Donson October 2017

“Brilliant beautiful place!”

Kath and John went above and beyond with hospitality will definitely rebook to go again!!

- Mr Donson, October 2017
Mrs Lee October 2016

“Lovely cosy cottage in the countryside not far from Betswy y Coed.”

Very quiet at night and extremely warm with the central heating. Lovely warm welcome from the hosts. We stayed in the middle cottage which was full of John's beautiful paintings. Had everything we needed to cook at home, but we mostly ate out. Plenty of walks nearby. A very enjoyable stay. Kevin and sue, Australia

- Mrs Lee, October 2016
Mrs De La Nougerede August 2016

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Just found it difficult to return to our cottage when it was dark as sign posts hard to find and roads we found difficult. Lovely to have the welcome pack and friendly owners, which makes all the difference Truly lovely, spotless, cosy, warm cottage and having the BBQ if we needed to use it was great. Loved the stone walls and looking out windows to see the stars!!! Thank you so much The de la Nougerede's

- Mrs De La Nougerede, August 2016
Mr Josserand June 2016

“We liked the general layout of the cottage and most of all the quietness of the location, as well as the wooden floors and the decoration.”

The landlady welcomed us very well and gave us good advice for things to do.

- Mr Josserand, June 2016
Mr Esterhuizen March 2016

“The cottage had everything we needed for our weekend away, it was very clean and comfortable with good heating and they allowed us to take the dog which was excellent!”

The bed and sofas were also very clean and comfortable and the owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. It's situated in a very convenient location for day trips around North Wales and the views of Snowdonia when you walk out the front door in the morning were breath taking.

- Mr Esterhuizen, March 2016

- Mr Breadner, December 2014

- Mrs Nichols, July 2011
Mrs Thangavel July 2011

“The cottage itself is lovely and although there were people either side of us the design of the garden and the thickness of the walls meant we felt like we were there on our own.”

The location of the cottage is in a perfect position for the beach as well as the mountains. The owners are on hand to help but discreet at the same time. The welsh cakes on arrival were delicious and we ended up taking lots back home. We were worried as we were going on holiday for the 1st time with our 8 month old baby but the high chair and the travel cot were very high standard. It was also great that we got to meet the owner's sheep, cats and hens. Thank you very much. We had a wonderful week and are definitely going back.
