  This was our second visit to the cottage and probably won't be the last the only criticism we have is the chairs and settee are dated and not very comfortable

• "Upon arrival we were very impressed with the location."

  The cottage was lovely from the outside. The sitting areas and kitchen were of good standards. The twin room unfortunately was not very nice, the carpet was all dirty and had stains on and felt a little sticky. The twin bed near the window looked like it was leaning to one side and when sat on felt unstable. There were stains on the ceiling. The bathroom was clean, however leaked from the shower and the toilet. Overall though it was nice.

• "The property is listed as 'luxury' this it is not."

  The property at 1st looks clean and tidy but on closer inspection needs a thorough deep clean, kitchen doors mucky, shower door dirty, shower dirty, marks on ceiling of twin room that look like excrement. Cushions in lounge smelly. The outside area was really disappointing, patio was full of weeds, no cushions for metal chairs, no umbrella etc. Not a flower pot to be seen. The shed is listed for guests use, I wouldn't put a rat in there, it's filthy!! The hot tub was clean and hot but the bamboo screen that sheilds next door is rotten and dirty...well past its sell by date , also next doors outside area was full of dog poo that wafted over the wall, not the LUXURY experience I was hoping for whilst in the hot tub. In all I was extremely disappointed and would not visit again or use Sykes to book if this is what they class as luxury. This property is a 2 star at best.

• "This was a lovely little cottage ideal for two adults and two children."

  Comfortable beds there were a couple of issues lack of kitchen utensils especially as there was a dishwasher as always need spare when stuff is in there, chairs in the living room not the most comfortable to relax in, but other than that it was suitable for us and we had a nice stay.

  Cutlery and crockery was a little sparse too.

• "The cottage is very cosy and the heating was easily managed."

  It was really clean - top marks to the housekeeping team!The hot tub was delightful and quite private. I had no problems communicating with the owners and Richard arrived on our first night to check on us. The house was fine for us as a couple but I think four adults would be a squeeze. A few more sets of cutlery and plates would have been handy and the extractor fan in the bathroom is a bit noisy. These are minor quibbles and wouldn't stop me booking Clwyd cottage again.

• "We had a lovely comfortable stay the beds were so comfortable."

  The cottage was nice and clean and we will be looking at staying again in the near future. Plenty of nice walks with the dogs. The back garden was secure and we didn't need to worry when letting the dogs out. Beautiful weekend break away.

• "We had a really enjoyable stay at Clwyd Cottage."

  We found the cottage to be clean but poorly stocked with general kitchen ware. We did have an initial problem with getting the induction hob to work with the pots & pans provided however once we reported this to the owner he very quickly supplied us with brand new pots & pans along with one or two other things that were needed and the owner delivered these personally the same day along with a complimentary bottle of wine. Excellent service. Overall we would recommend staying at this cottage along with other nice properties that were on the same site. The owner arranged for us to visit Home Farm which is a much bigger property ideal for larger family stays which we are considering booking in the future.

• "The property was dirty when we walked in cobwebs everywhere."

  There was a stench from a cupboard which we found a mop and bucket in that obviously needed changing. The oven didn't work, the toilet has a leak and must be known about as there were blue clothes put under it that didn't stop it going onto the floor. Kitchen window wouldn't open and the front door was in need or re alignment as it was hard to open and shut . There is a wasps nest in the eves of the house so couldn't sit outside to eat as they were all over us and the hot tub kept turning on randomly in the middle of the night , the hdmi cable from the dvd player was broken as well as the internet cutting out quite a lot . We tried calling all the numbers with no one answering so after day 3 we gave up . This could be a great cottage if it was looked after properly. Also tablet in hot tub never got refilled so only had it 2 and blue floaty bits were in the water as well as I think silty mess from the previous guests

  Very homely and clean. Enclosed garden for the dogs was absolutely brilliant. Ample parking which made it easy to unload/load. Perfect location very central to many attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wales. Would highly recommend. Thankyou.

• "Would have been a pleasant stay, however let down by maintenance."

  Nice little cottage in a quiet area. An accessible parking space easy to load and unload. Beds were comfy, towels were provided. Hot tub was nice and warm on our arrival. Maintenance was the big issue. It looks like they didn't bother about maintenance. Oven was very dirty, we couldn't able to cook anything in the oven. The kitchen bin had no lid flap, te shelf in the fridge was snapped, bathroom sealant covered with mould. On our arrival, we noticed, Bathroom lock was broken. We called Richard, he said he will come next day, but never arrived. We end up adjusting without any lock in the bathroom. Very disappointed. On our checkout day, we were shocked to see a guy cleaning hot tub. Seems he came through the garden gate without letting us know. It was way before our checkout time.

  It’s a beautiful cottage in a secluded location that’s not far at all from the main attractions of North Wales, and a lovely place to unwind. Would highly recommend.

• "We had a lovely weeks' stay here during the very warm week in June, the cottage is located in a lovely area and it remained quite cool inside during the hot days."

  We did bring our own parasol for the outdoor table as not sure there was one, so take your own! Hot tub is covered by a solid roofed pagoda and enjoyed it to cool down in. Well equipped kitchen with lots of counter space & cupboard storage. We did have to buy a set a scissors for ourselves as none provided. Comfy beds and seating. Quiet area and we enjoyed walking up and down the lane, central to lots of local attractions. Definitely recommended.

  Unclean,parts of it filthy! Needs lots of attention: hot tub cover torn/ rotten; hot tub needs deep clean; hobs on cooker hit n miss; fridge door no shelves for bottles; bin no lid; every other handle on drawers loose; bbq filthy not attempted to clean; pillows need replacing; all in all absolute disgrace to be hiring this cottage out in this condition - worse place we've stayed!! ( Came home day early couldn't bear it any longer)Shame because it's a beautiful part of the UK definitely worth exploring.

• "Enjoyed our stay over the bank holiday."

  Lovely cottage in a quiet area, enclosed garden for our dog and an accessible parking space outside making it easy to load/unload the car. However, the kitchen and bedroom was filthy. We had to wash cutlery/dishes and appliances before using as they were covered in food. Main bedroom was covered floor to ceiling in dust and cobwebs, windowsills had dead flies on them. Minor issues but easy to avoid with a proper cleaning team.

• "A beautiful little cottage."

  ... Enjoyed stay however there were a few niggles.... Hot tub cold on arrival, couldn't use until day 2. The provided Pans don't work on the hob except the large fry pan which is in need of replacement, so had to use the sandwich press to cook bacon and eggs. There wasn't a toilet brush ? Also would be a good idea for the maintenance person to knock on and let people know they need to go in the garden to maintain hot tub instead of just walking in especially when dogs are or could be in the garden.... I think the guy got a shock....

  Nice location couple miles from St Asaph. Nice and peaceful. Only crticism i could make is there was only 1 log provided for the burner. I would have brought some if known in advance. Hot tub great although as per previous review due to time to warm up it wasnt ready for 1st night given the outdoor temperature

• "Not impressed."

  Drove from London to the cottage -£600 nearly for 3 nights and the kitchen bin had no lid flap, the shelf in the fridge was snapped off and on top of the cooker hood. Holes in the bathroom cladding, mouldy sealant and seals in bathroom, bbq grill hadn’t been cleaned, oven was dirty, and the only pan that worked on the induction hob was the frying pan. I complained to Sykes cottages with photos but the owner has not responded a month later, and Sykes cottages have told me I have to take it up with the owner myself. Beds were very comfy, and hot tub was great but doesn’t excuse the rest.

• "When we first got to the Cottage my husband and I were overjoyed, this was a little birthday getaway and something to do differently for New Year, there was a lovely Christmas tree all lit and Prosecco on arrival."

  However as our stay continued there where certain aspects that was not what we expected. * The hot tub was not ready to use, and we contacted the owners who advised that because they empty and refill for each new arrival, it would take time to warm up they did apologise and we were able to use the hot tub the day after however this was one of the selling features of the cottage. * The oven was a disgrace and was not clean at all, the light wouldn’t work on the oven and in the end we refused to cook on it, even the frying pans that were provided were not clean. (pictures can be provided). * The accessories that were provided in the kitchen were not hygienic for instance underneath the chopping board there was grease and needed a good clean, there was some brown sauce left in one of the cupboards and when we picked it up there was a sticky residue ring mark left, it was obvious the cupboards had not been cleaned for a while

• "Returned home today after an amazingly relaxing week at Clwyd Cottage!"

  ! The cottage was lovely and clean and very dog friendly, the enclosed garden was perfect for our two dogs, with lovely local walks and a short drive to the beaches they are thoroughly fed up to be back home. The location of the cottage is great. It's very peaceful yet close enough to pop into St Asaph. We enjoyed a walk up the river in the evenings and then picked up a take away or went to the plough (highly recommended) for dinner. The cottage is very well equipped from kitchen equipment to cleaning products and of course the wonderful hot tub on the patio, the only thing I missed was a washing line for hot tub towels and costumes etc although we hung them on the railings when it wasn't windy. All in all we were wanting a rest and reset week away and we got exactly that!! Will definitely be regular visitors in the future!!

• "This is a great little cottage."

  Lovely area being only 20 mins from the beach and 50mins to Mt Snowdon, there's loads of things to do. Enclosed garden so my dog could roam free off the lead with the added bonus of a hot tub which was amazing after walking up snowdon. My only advice would be that although it sleeps 4 the cottage is quite small so would be tight for 4 people. 2 people and a dog or 2 would be suitable. It was just me and 1 dog for 3 nights which was perfect. I would definitely recommend and stay again myself.

• "Very pleasant property , ideal location for exploring North Wales."

  The back garden is enclosed so is ideal if you have a dog. The kitchen is well equipped fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Little niggles the lock on the bathroom door it either needs replacing or removing. The lounge has a two seater Chesterfield style couch ( comfortable) and two very upright chesterfield style chair which were not very comfortable for relaxing on in the evening. This maybe an issue if 4 of you are using the property. Parking next to the property which is great for packing and unloading. A lovely property in a great location.

• "Very clean, comfortable beds, nice location and just big enough for 2 adults and 1 child."

  Some little things that need attention like knobs kept falling of drawers in twin bedroom, light bulb flickering in bedside lamp. Ceiling light fixture not fitted correctly in bedroom so was slanting with bare wires showing and shelf in bedroom slanting so unable to use it as a dressing table as nothing would stay put. The biggest annoyance was the constantly barking dog from behind the cottage, eventually shut up at 11/12pm most nights so a nice relaxing evening in the hot tub was spoilt. When it wasn’t barking it was lovely and quiet and if I could have figured out who it belonged to I would have told the owners but because of the layout of the cottages it was difficult to figure out.

• "We stayed in the cottage 8-14 October."

  It was a lovely little cottage, very welcoming and perfect for our needs in a beautiful setting. The rooms were tidy, beds comfy, with a lovely hot tub and log burner. The large mirror in the master bedroom was a big hit with my wife for getting ready too. There were just a few little things we feel we ought to point out that you may not be aware of. There are two frying pans for the induction hob however only one of the pans is induction. Some of the saucepans for some reason don’t always register with the induction hob. The oven takes a good while to heat up and could do with a clean as there’s a lot of grease inside which led to setting off the smoke alarm when it heated up. The knife block has some missing knives but the main issue is the little knife in the block is wobbly and had a tendency to come out of the handle. The missing fridge shelf was also a shame. In the master bedroom as you’re facing the bed, the lamp on the left has a flickering bulb and the shelf underneath the mirror could do with tightening up as the shelf is sloping so things have a tendency to slide off. In the living room there is another bulb out in the wall light closest to the back door. We also had to clean the fireplace out before we could use it as it was full of ash. In the garden the fairy lights didn’t appear to work but again this is just to make you aware. None of the above made for an unpleasant stay we just thought it might be helpful to point out for future guests.

  It is very tastefully appointed and had everything we needed for a very pleasant and comfortable stay. We were just disappointed that the checkout time of 10.00am was not adhered to, the guy cleaning the hot tub arrived well before the time and began on the hot tub without even introducing himself or even letting us know that he had arrived. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this cottage.

• "We had a lovely week in this holiday cottage."

  The welsh weather was very kind to us which allowed us to use the outside area for every meal. The hot tub was great and when we had a slight problem the owners were very helpful and responsive. The garden is very private. We were a family of 4, the inside accommodation is quite small and I’m not sure how we would have eaten every meal as a family inside as the kitchen table is against a wall (and not a lot of room to pull it out) The beds are very comfy and the shower is excellent. The kitchen is well appointed, instructions to use the hob would have been useful but we’re not used to induction! There is a small dishwasher and wifi was good. There is also a DVD player and smart tv. The cottage is in a lovely location and close to lots of interesting places to visit. We would recommend a stay here.
