October 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Well equipped apart from a very small frying pan! It was lovely for owners to leave a welcome pack. Good location. The only downside was the parking at the back. Too big a a drop when you got out of the car. Next time we go we will park out on the road.

Mrs Barker February 2020

“This holiday cottage goes above and beyond in terms of how well equipped it is.”

Had everything we could possibly need. Feel that the photos on the website don't do it justice. Great time had by all. Thanks!

- Mrs Barker, February 2020
Mrs Symons October 2019

“Lovely warm, cosy cottage, equipped with everything you could possibly need!”

Set in a quiet village, with a friendly community pub just down the road...gorgeous surrounding scenery. A very generous welcome basket greeted us on arrival...including a bottle of wine! Highly recommended.

- Mrs Symons, October 2019
Mrs Lee August 2019

Mrs Newton May 2019

“This was a last minute booking.”

We’ve been really lucky with holiday home. A slight key issue upon arrival was quickly rectified by Emma. She had us sorted and inside the property in about 20 minutes after check in time. She was excellent. Thank you

Mrs Middlemast May 2019

“Location was great, nice garden to sit in dogs loved it.”

- Mrs Middlemast, May 2019
Mrs Conabeer March 2019

“Last time we went 3-4 year's ago the sitting room had a real log burner but now it is a Gas coal burner effect fire !”

Still nice but we Re-booked to have a real fire

- Mrs Conabeer, March 2019
Mr Shaw February 2019

“The cottage far exceeded our expectations.”

Warm, quiet, clean and cosy, it had all the facilities that you could expect. A hiccup with the gas fire was resolved within two hours with an engineers visit.Try getting that done at home! We can't recommend the cottage, the owner or Sykes enough. We would definitely return to a place that proved to be an ideal base to explore the area. But what you really need from a review are its bad points. No internet. A seating arrangement that really only gives two people a good view of the tv. Car parking that is only ideal for a fiesta sized car, although there is alternative parking 150 yards away. Realistically, none of these are going to adversely impact on your holiday. So try it. We truly cannot recommend it highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

- Mr Shaw, February 2019
Mr Taylor October 2018

“A simply delightful cottage in the most wonderful of villages - largely unspoiled by modernity.”

Every conceivable facility is provided in the house and you lack for nothing at all. It is clean, airy, warm and extremely welcoming - even if the weather is not especially kind to you, you are at ease and quite at home here. All around you is the most beautiful countryside, mountains, brooks, walks, wildlife and so forth. Without a shadow of any doubt it is the nearest place to heaven this side of the Promised-Land! itself.

- Mr Taylor, October 2018
Mrs Mershon September 2018

“The cottage was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything we could need - even down to hot water bottles in the bedside cabinets.”

The welcome pack from David and Janet was a lovely surprise and useful. The cottage is simply furnished but warm, comfortable and very clean and there wasn't anything we thought we could have done with, that wasn't provided. David had warned us that the parking at the rear of the house was a 'bit tight' but as we have a Skoda Fabia it presented no problems at all for us, although if you have a bigger car it could. The area is very quiet, with a nice pub and shop in walking distance (shop is well stocked) and makes a fabulous base for day trips around this part of Wales. Loved it so much that we are hoping to go back again next year with two of our grandchildren, and will definitely be looking to book our stay in this property if available as it felt very much like a home from home.

- Mrs Mershon, September 2018
Mrs Aitkenhead August 2018

“This lovely cottage was ideally situated for discovering the Snowdonia National Park, just perfect.”

Gorgeous cottage. Warm and cosy. Cute little back yard? garden with views of the mountains.

- Mrs Aitkenhead, August 2018
Mrs Butters July 2018

“Fab homely cottage.”

Welcome pack was a lovely surprise . Everything had been thought of by the owners. Even changed our bedding and towels etc in middle of our 2 weeks. Would love to return.

- Mrs Butters, July 2018
Mrs Castle June 2018

“We experienced a week of dry weather and warm sunshine temperatures which was perfect for walking and exploring The Slate Trail and local countryside.”

The cottage location in a quiet town gives easy access to Port Meirion, Port Madog and Blaenau Ffestiniog for the Steam Train. The cottage was well appointed and we loved the original slate flooring.

- Mrs Castle, June 2018
Mrs Phillips May 2018

“Lovely little cottage in a very quiet street.”

Parking at the back is a little awkward and we did almost bump our car trying to get the turn on the first few attempts, we have a people carrier maybe a smaller car would be fine. I would suggest the owner levels the parking area at the property to make it easier. We did not manage to park on the street as it was always very busy, it was half term holidays though. The back garden isn't suitable for anyone that is unsteady on their feet as it is very overgrown and has lots of different levels. It would have been nice if there was decked area or larger area for you sit and enjoy a BBQ. The cottage contains almost everything you would need. I missed having a tumble drier as it was hard to dry the washing when it was a slightly damp week. Other than that we found it catered for all our needs. The lounge is very small and if there are four of you, then you would struggle to watch the TV, my son sat on the floor. Thankfully we were out enjoying the beautiful surroundings too much to sit around watching the TV! The Oakley in the next village and the Grapes were excellent for local ales and food. Blaenau Ffestiniog is just up the road and has an excellent Co-op store and a scattering of local shops. I recommend going to the mines and doing the underground and army truck tours, lots of fun had by all.

- Mrs Phillips, May 2018

Mr Blackmore August 2016

- Mr Blackmore, August 2016

- Mr Rooney, December 2013
Mrs Hadden September 2013

“This cottage was excellent, so spotless we felt like first time visitors.”

It was warm, uncluttered, spacious and supplied enough information without pages full of silly rules. This is the first cottage I have visited where everything actually worked, everything was perfect. The furniture and fittings are to a good standard, comfortable bed etc. We have been doing self-catering for 10 years now, and this was by far the best. The owners were friendly and helpful, but not intrusive, and the neighbours were good too. It ticked all the boxes for us.

- Mrs Hadden, September 2013
