  • "Brilliant holiday property, clean and tidy and very well equipped - in a handy location for exploring the North Wales coast, the whole (extended) family had a great weekend."

    The house had loads of space and lots of smart TVs which came in very handy - On one especially rainy afternoon, dad was watching rugby in the lounge, my niece was watching Netflix in the back room and me and the brother in law were watching Youtube in the kitchen with a few beers - And we all loved the garden which was immaculate. 10/10 - Oh, and congrats to Rhos on Sea - The new promenade and freshly sanded beach is looking great :o)

  • "We had a fabulous stay at Glendalough in Rhos on Sea over the Christmas period, the property is very spacious, it was perfect for our family with our elderly mum staying in the downstairs bedroom with access to toilet facilities off the utility room."

    The kitchen diner was well equipped with everything we could possibly need, we had a lovely surprise of biscuits, mince pies and milk on our arrival which was a lovely touch. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were all spacious with towels provided, the house was very clean with lovely Christmas decorations throughout. We were impressed with the amount of children's toys and games available to use. The location of the property is excellent as its in walking distance of Rhos on Sea, it is also on a bus route where buses run frequently. We loved our stay at this property and would highly recommend it.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and hope you visit again. Property Owner

    We had a minor issue with the hot water which was resolved quickly. Unfortunately the information left in the house by the owner was not up to date on hot water and heating. The location of the property was excellent and I would recommend Rhos on Sea without reservation to anyone wanting to go to North Wales.

  • "ATTENTION! Both rear bedroom fire exit windows locked – no keys."

    Notices on bedroom doors state these as emergency exits. Owner keeps citing health and safety issues regarding children climbing out onto the extension flat roof. Keys could be available in a coded key safe or rails installed around flat roof! As we stayed during the September 2023 heatwave it was extremely uncomfortable in the back bedrooms, with only the small window to open. Expecting up to 8 adult guests and perhaps babies, to escape through the front bedroom window, onto the small porch roof, is unrealistic. A fire travelling up the stairs and onto the landing could trap guests in the two back bedrooms. Three exit doors on ground floor, but of no use to guests upstairs in the event of fire. I would suggest the above breaches fire regulations. Key also missing from locked downstairs toilet window, no extractor fan. NO HOT WATER FOR 24 HOURS! Owners did not respond for 18 hours – at 2am – twice! Not resolved for 24 hours, after several more messages through the night. There are NO instructions ANYWHERE regarding the device in the hall. No hot water showers for 24hrs in that heat is unacceptable… and no, we did not want freezing cold showers. Other guests in September 2023 had the same issue with the hot water, according to reviews. Dishwasher did not work for the entire holiday. I checked the filter before attempting to use it for the first and only time, it was clear. Had to hand wash dishes all week and boil kettles when there was no hot water. Dishwasher definitely broken, would not drain. Ground floor bedroom smoke alarm beeped the entire last night keeping us awake – lack of maintenance. Floors downstairs not clean, just dirty/smelly mop & bucket and two old and useless vacuum cleaners to rectify the problem ourselves. Had to sort recycling of previous occupants who had just left it. Plenty of room in recycling bins so no excuse. Instruction folder did not cover everything guests may need to know re appliances/TVs and in any event was out of date in general. Owner blamed being abroad/11 hours difference for the delay in responding, an excuse that has been used several times before in other reviews. Easily remedied by appointing a person to take responsibility for any issues, who is available to respond quickly. Easily remedied too, is to make the housekeepers responsible for checking plugs, dishwasher, recycling, drainer etc, that they are clean and operational before each letting. We found the owners unhelpful and negative, with excuses and irrelevant content. It is worrying that both the owners and Sykes Cottages do not consider our issues are of any consequence, which means it could be the same for future guests. There was no apology, resolution or small gesture of good will, after our holiday was spoilt. Such a shame as it is a pleasant house, in a good location, in one of our favourite places. Sykes themselves opened a complaint case against the owners, not us, but have now closed it, even after asking us to take photos etc as evidence - which shows too, we left the property spotless.

  • "All in all the cottage was excellent."

    Every need had been catered for and the place was spotless. If I were to be extremely picky in order to point to possible improvements to an already very very good set up I would say that the bath is very small almost to the point of uncomfortable for an adult but my two sons and I are all well over 6 feet tall (I did say picky). The only other thing was the recycling bins are very small for waste generated by seven people. (council at fault I know} Back to positives the location was excellent and I would highly recommend this property. We intend to return.

    Thank you for your feedback. We decided to have an extra large shower so we had to find a bath to fit this to accommodate small children. The council recycling is small but unfortunately this is down to the local authority. Delighted that you enjoyed your visit and we hope you will return. Property Owner

    In addition to the space, comfort and cleanliness, we enjoyed the mix of old and new i.e. the lovely entrance hall and snug, compared to the state-of-the-art kitchen (complete with everything you can think of, including "disco lights", as my grand daughters called the footlights :)). There's also lots to do in the house - books, games, TV's etc - and the beach toys were an added bonus; very much enjoyed by our grandchildren on the nearby beach. Property is close to local amenities - shops, bars, playgrounds etc. - and ideally placed for short car / bus rides to Llandudno, Conwy, Bodnant Gardens (NT). Wonderful.

  • "Firstly, this is the best equipped holiday property we have ever stayed at."

    Nothing is overlooked. It's also a brilliant location. Beds are comfy and plenty of space. I've given it 5 stars for that reason. The only point to note is that if like me you are a light sleeper, it's best to sleep in one of the back bedrooms - the property is on a road that is quiet at night, but a little busy early morning. But for most people, I imagine this isn't a big issue.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have gone to great lengths and expense to provide extra equipment and invested in high quality beds so we appreciate your comments. Property Owner

    Dear guests My apologies for the delay in response to your heating issues. However, we were on a vacation on my late mother's wishes to return to Bermuda where we had lived, and our son was born. As we were at sea, we had delayed internet and your calls came through at 4am due to time differences. The heating system is not totally in our control as we just have a backup app in case it is needed. In the hall is a thermostat which allows guest to change the heating. This has always been there and is simple to use. I am very sorry you were not able to adjust the heating for your needs. We have been to the property and checked out the heating, it also appeared 90% of the radiators had been turned off by previous guests during the hot summer period. Unfortunately, the batteries inside the gas fire had gone flat, this meant the gas fire was not working, and this too has been fixed. Thanks for letting us know about these issues in time for the colder months. Property Owner

    The only gripe really was the non availability of the outdoor bbq facility as had been indicated in the listing. We had been looking forward to doing a nice bbq as the weather was good and unfortunately the indoor grill was not really up to the task. Apart from that I cannot fault anything really and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a very beautiful house that combines the old structure of the house with all modern facilities inside and you certainly wont be lacking of anything whether you stay here in the winter or the summer. the 5 minute walk to the beach is great during the summer and the heating options of central heating, gas fire and log fires available will keep you nice and toasty during the colder months. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone and would love to come back again when visiting this lovely part of the world!

    Thank you for your feedback. We came to check the BBQ yesterday and found it did have gas and the reading shows it does, we will leave clear instructions for its use. It is a little old now and will be replaced at the end of the year. The indoor BBQ is not designed for heating huge amounts of food or being left to overheat. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

    Dear Guests Thank you for your feedback. We plan to put in a shower in the downstairs bathroom later this year meaning we would have three full bathrooms. I was surprised at your score for cleanliness etc as the house has just had a spring clean and been decorated and was 100% spotless when I left. We do request that guests remove rubbish on departure and report any damages. We arrived on your departure day to discover balloons, a blow up Zimmer frame, dog waste inside, and a huge amount of litter. The fish feeder was also damaged causing the pond to be flooded with fish food. This has caused a huge amount of damage to both the Koi carp and the filter and will take a long time to repair. We appreciate guests leaving the property as they found it and were very disappointed in this case. Photos have been sent to Sykes. Regards Yvonne and Hamish. Property Owner

    Only criticism was the single bed with no slats. One of the children had to sleep on a mattress on the floor. However it was still a wonderful break and the weather was amazing for New Year.

We would definitely book again.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a great holiday and the weather was great for the time of year. Just like to comment that the single bed you refer to does not have slats as it has a proper sprung mattress base and a sprung mattress on top that you find on all high quality beds. We find this to be a long lasting solution as slats tend to be broken more frequently and we have had to replace 3 slated beds this year. We are sorry if you did not notice this was the case.

    The cleaners really let this place down and the lack of utilities in the kitchen. The tumble drier was filthy, the bathroom showers had mould along the silicone, there was other people's clothes in the dressing table in master bedroom, making you think a proper clean had not been done. (Pictures available) As the house 5 bedrooms the kitchen lacked a few basic items for a large family, who hoped to cook a few family meals - examples such as one baking/roasting tray, no Yorkshire pudding tray, no spare bin bags and no measuring jug... We have been using Sykes cottages for many many years and this is the first negative feedback given. Such a shame as the house is stunning but is let down by the cleaners.

    Dear Mrs. Owen. Thank you for your feedback and comment about the house being stunning. We have had previous feedback about our kitchen ware with comments such as "really good selection of kitchen ware", "kitchen really well equipped "etc. We cannot provide for all possibilities eg soufflé dishes etc. We provide many extra items above and beyond what is expected for self catering accommodation like washing powder, dog treats etc. The shower is not mouldy, but the clear sealant has discoloured and is due to be replaced in the off season.

On closer examination we have decided to replace the two mattresses in the back bedroom as we appreciate that children love to jump on beds (having fostered 12 children) and they do get worn out quickly. Two new beds are arriving today. These are luxury Bamboo mattresses we ordered a while ago. Furniture items were delayed due to Covid but have now arrived and we are delivering them this week.

Kitchen really well equipped, lovely big fridge and freezer. However the house is starting to get a little tatty, the 4 single bed matresses are absolutely knackered, even my 3 yr old asked why there were metal circles poking into her. the dining chairs have temporary covers on them but are essentially perished and shed foam when you touch them. Possibly we just followed a very messy group but the house needs a really good clean. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean but there was quite a lot of dog fur round skirtings and in corners, old popcorn down the back of the reclining sofa, and someone else's dirty t-shirt in the downstairs bedroom behind the shelf. As others have commented the lounge smelt very "doggy" but once we rolled up and removed the rug it was fine, and the owner tells me she has already dealt with this since our departure. Overall we had a great holiday and would consider booking again.

    So here we go , the property was large and this was brilliant for the kids and with it being old the walls were solid so we wern't bothered by the kids noise ,kitchen very well equipped, it's a very lovely property. Unfortunately there was a very strong smell of dog In the front room this was very unpleasant. My advice would be to improve the front of the property and make sure the cleaning team do a proper job, please don't take this the wrong way i believe in being honest. The above hasn't put me off and I would love to return.

    We appreciate all feedback and you have many positive comments and despite a low score say you would like to return. However I would like to point out that our property scored a 100% in reviews just two weeks after your visit with no mention of dog smells. We do accommodate pets and the front room is thoroughly cleaned by myself the owner after each visit. In light of your comments all the upholstery has been shampooed and the rug changed to further ensure there are no pet aromas. In our departure information we do request that visitors remove food and rubbish. Unfortunately you did not follow the requests and we spent over an hour removing sweet wrappers, hair extensions, crisp packets under mattresses and marshmallows behind beds. All the beach toys were scattered throughout the property and damage done to a light switch. This was the first time we have ever had to do so much clearing up after guests as all our other guests have been very respectful of the property. Property Owner

Great location, short walk to seafront and to a nearby nature reserve. Rhos On Sea is a charming resort, nice shops, cafes and takeaways. We would love to return!

  • "Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances only half our party were able to go but it was wonderful having all the space to ourselves in this lovely family home."

    A few minute from the beach and main attractions and a short drive to places of interest in the area. The weather was very kind and we all enjoyed our break and returned home relaxed and refreshed.

The property

An 1880's period property boasting traditional features intertwined with contemporary style, Glendalough is the perfect property from which to explore the coast of Wales.

Resting within the picturesque community of Rhos-on-Sea, this family-friendly property is a true delight of a dwelling.

Hang your coats in the porch and move through into the hallway where the woodburning stove awaits you beneath the traditional beams, with accompanying stain glass windows bringing character to the room, before entering into the open-plan living space; here colourful lights line the room, where an abundance of fantastic appliances sit.

The kitchen area is a true wonder, with the skylight letting in a flow of natural light where you can gather around the table together to toast to a terrific holiday.

Relax into your evening on the reclining sofa in the room, or seek comfort in the sitting room where you can snuggle up in front of the gas fire and enjoy a film from the Smart TV.

If you're in pursuit of a quiet spot to yourself, the snug is a great space to delve into a good book as the warmth of the woodburning stove fills in the room and creates a homely ambiance.

At the end of each evening, the five bedrooms all offer an elegant spot to rest your head; choose from the ground-floor king size, perfectly suited to those less able, or make your way up the stairs where four more bedrooms await you in the form of a master king-size with its own en-suite shower room, a double and two twin rooms, all served by the impressive family bathroom and offering their own ample storage space to house your personal belongings.

The wonder of the property continues at its exterior, where an enclosed courtyard makes a lovely spot to soak in the sun and indulge in an outdoor barbecue, with the added excitement of a fish pond where you can even feed and touch them, something the little ones are sure to love.

Just a short stroll from the property will bring you to the excitement of Rhos-on-Sea, where a plethora of eateries can be found, perfect for any celebratory meal, alongside its beautiful beach, the Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve and a golf course, there's plenty to keep all ages entertained.

Nearby Colwyn Bay is well-worth a visit, with its Welsh Mountain Zoo, even more walking routes in its park and gardens and a picturesque promenade to roam, it makes a great day trip with a tranquil atmosphere.

Nearby Llandudno boasts a wide range of attractions including a pretty pier, botanical gardens, a ski and snowboarding centre and historical landmarks aplenty, or embark on a journey to Conwy to find an abundance of historic delights like no other.

Glendalough is an enchanting dwelling from which to spend quality time with your loved ones on the Welsh coast.
