  • "Amazing stay over new year, plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 kids, really cosy house with excellent view and great walks near by."

    The house has everything you need, lots of space for dining and relaxing. The owner Elliw is very responsive and helpful. I stay away every new year, this is easily the best holiday home we have stayed in so far and we will 100% stay again.

  • "Absolutely exceptional holiday home with everything we needed and more for our 7 night stay."

    More than the home and facilities though is the beautiful location; wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding area - especially from the hot tub! Best of all worlds with plenty to see and do within a short drive or perfect peace taking in the views and wildlife. Best holiday ever according to.my grandson- can't argue with that.

  • "We were a party of five adults and three aged 10 to 17 with three cars for which there was ample parking."

    Good information before arrival including directions and access to the house. It is well set back from the A5 and therefore quiet and safe. We had our own patch of lawn for some games (frisbee, ball and goal provided) plus the hot tub which some of us used. Handy to have a rotary line and the BBQ plus the shed to store the seat cushions. Lovely views of territory we are very familiar with. Kitchen has table easily seating 8. Not sure how 10 would get on. A few items not in evidence such as sugar bowl, milk jug, pizza wheel. Plenty of cutlerly and plates. A small set of folding steps would be handy as top shelf of all cupboards well above my reach - hence not seeing the much wanted cafetiere until day of depature! Good sized fridge and the bottle cooler was a nice touch with welcome wine. The welcome booklet needs a refresh to provide some hints on use of hob - we figured it - and that the switches to the washing machine are in the adjoining cupboard. It should mention where the fire blanket is (cupboard to right of sink). We all felt towels should be provided. We needed ones for the down stairs loo, the kitchen, the hot tub and regular bathroom use which is a very large amount of 28+ to be transporting with the rest of one's luggage. Toilet paper plentiful and good quality. Bathrooms all very impressive and modern with good water flow. Beds considered comfortable by most. Bedrooms offered generous storage with chests and wardrobes but no seats or full length mirrors. No hair dryer that we could find. Upstairs oppressively hot and windows open only to a fixed point. Once open window insets need a very big clean - an area clearly overlooked. Bedding of good quality and very fresh and clean. No basic body wash for showers but liquid soap provided for hand washing. Generous hall way offered places for coats and shoes - we changed into slippers for upstairs but clearly others don't as stair carpet showing signs of much use which is a shame. We watered hanging baskets and dead headed the blooms. Lounge offers some jigsaws, leaflets and games with three large sofas but we felt a nest of tables would be so handy then everyone can reach their drink without all trying to get at the one small table. Main lounge TV worked very well but bedroom ones constantly buffered so strain on sat. too great. Owner very responsive when asked to sort lightbulb replacements. We were puzzled by need to not use hot tub on our final evening - the handover day seems logical for any such cut off point. Other cottages on same site look lovely and no party intrudes on another. I've booked with Sykes numerous times and spent many £s more this time so probably consequently highly aware of any failings - we had a generally good time and offer up these observations over fine tuning to be constructive not overly negative.

  • "When the entire group of 7 people had to spend their own money on 3 bottles of air freshner and 3 bottles of Febreeze because every single bedroom STINKS really bad - that's never a good sign."

    All the carpets and furniture had a horrible smell, especially when you opened the wardrobes. There were disgusting smelling pillows inside which we had to take out and leave in the downstairs laundry room. We had the windows open for the entire week, all day long, and the smell never went away. The showers were leaking and it even leaked into the living room. We reported a problem with the cooker fan. The dishwasher wasn't working properly either. I also had to chase the owner for key collection information myself since they didn't send it, which should've been a red flag. I would not recommend this place. The only positive thing it has going for it is the outside views.

    Thank you for your feedback I clean the property myself with the help of cleaners and we are unaware of any smell at the property I apologise that the cooker hood wasn't working, it needed a new fuse which we replaced and it is a shame when we called to do this, that you didn't mention the smell at the time My property manager has checked and resealed the showers after you left them all and re sealed them on the Friday after they left which worked out better really as they couldn't use them until the next day otherwise The property is in the countryside so there may be flies during certain periods but I do leave fly spray and the sticky bands for guest to use if needed Property Owner

  • "This property is huge and very well appointed."

    There was nothing we needed that hadn't been provided. The hot tub was very clean and enjoyed by all. It would be perfect if towels were provided for everything bar the hot tub as they take up a huge part of the packing. The only downside was the smell which we assumed was from septic tank and a massive fly problem. We hung fly papers and captured dozens every day. On a more positive note we couldn't have asked for a better owner. We suffered huge delays due to traffic accidents and the owner kindly met the grocery delivery guy we had booked and took our order in and packed it away. First class service.

  • "We had a lovely family holiday at Ty Gwyn, staying for a week."

    The house was lovely and spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook most nights. Our only issue was that the hot tub was out of bounds from 12 noon on the last day (we were fully aware of this, as listed in the booking). However, the owners arrived at 11:30am to start the cleaning. With check in being quite late in the day, and check out very early on the final day, it felt like we were cutting our holiday short not being able to use the hot tub. On top of this, and without warning, someone came and started mowing the grass which took at least a couple of hours. This meant we couldn’t use the garden at all. So it very much felt like a day where all that mattered were the people checking in the next day, and not us enjoying the last full day of our holiday. Because of all this, a Friday - Friday holiday felt more like a Saturday - Thursday. I understand the need to clean hot tubs for the next people, but when check in isn’t until after 4, we felt like this could be done the morning of checkout. Or at the very least after a time in the evening not the morning. Put a bit of a dampener on the end of an otherwise pleasant holiday

    This was not terribly satisfactory as we had to call into the office twice to request a call from the owner to ascertain the code.

Lovely property and nicely situate. Three girls aged 15, 14 and 12 thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub!! As did some of us adults when we had the chance ! Accomodation, cutlery, china and glassware in plentiful supply for the number the house catered for unlike some we have stayed at where we have struggled to find sufficient for the number of persons accommodated for. Lovely holiday and thank you to all concerned. Thank you.

    It was the perfect get away for a group of friends. You can tell there had been great thought and care taken when the cottage had been renovated. Everything was of a very good quality, from the towels to all the kitchen utensils and the gas fired BBQ. The hot tub was very well maintained, and I really enjoy a soak just after we had arrived with a chilled glass of wine. There was a couple of bottles waiting for us in the fridge up on our arrival. This was a lovely touch and really added to the start of our weekend away. I just wish we had been able to stay longer!
