"Had a lovely stay for a week end of June 22."

Not so lucky with the weather rain strong winds and cool but made up by good location. The bungalow is comfortable and was nice and clean. I was very pleased with the parking much better than other local property had in many cases. Some reviews mentioned the bins yes the bin was full but in fairness the collection is fortnightly so luck of the draw very early Tuesday collection ie 6am so best put out Monday night. 2 small things that might be worth considering 1 an immersion heater timer 2 a toilet brush Would love to re visit time will tell. Thank you owners

"Cottage clean, bed comfortable."

Main gripes: shower is tiny as is bath. There is no garden as such, we didn’t bring a dog, but there is no gate so unsafe as facing road. Parking is tricky especially as property is near a blind bend on a hill. Luckily road not too busy but two people needed to reverse out. Instructions in welcome folder to put bins out during the week, but obviously hadn’t been done for some time as contents stinking (nappies etc) and bins very full.

Many thanks for your feedback, we are making sure that moving forward the advert is clear that the bathroom tub is three quarter size. There is a new electric shower fitted as of September 2021. We are also clarifying on the advert that there is an external patio leading to an ungated driveway with access to the road. Enhanced directions re approaching the property to park will be included in future pre arrival emails to guests. Apologies regarding the bin, this will be monitored moving forward. Property Owner

"Misleading advertisement - DO NOT BOOK THIS COTTAGE there is NO enclosed garden or outside space, UNSAFE for dogs or children."

No patio just area beside dustbins with dirty mismatched patio furniture or driveway. Cottage unclean - glass on kitchen floor, food remains on plates / cutlery and fridge dirty. Every room dusty - needs a really good clean. You CANNOT lie back & relax in the bath as it is TINY, I couldn’t put my legs straight and I’m only 5’5. Shower is a trickle, mould in bathroom. Complained on first night regarding dangerous loose / broken step nothing done. Raised these issues with Sykes & they haven’t contacted me. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Thank you for your feedback. We are rectifying the advert to reflect that it is an external patio area leading to an ungated drive with access to the road. The patio now has a new patio table, benches and parasol. The cleanliness issue is being addressed with our cleaning service and the bathroom will be checked and any mildew spot will be removed and so should not happen again, thank you for letting us know. We are also amending the advert to clarify that the bathroom tub is a 3/4 size and we have recently installed a new electric shower. We can also reassure guests that the loose step has already now been removed and Sykes Cottages will respond to you on my behalf shortly. Property Owner

"DVD player not working,bulbs in two light fittings not working."

Outside patio furniture so dirty it was unusable .Counted 65 spiders in all rooms.Bath was tiny. On the plus side the location is good and the cottage was well stocked with utensils and basics ,bed was comfortable and best of all in very hot weather cottage was cool at night.

Many thanks for your feedback. We're pleased you found the property comfortable, unfortunately spiders can occasionally be a part and parcel of rural life but we will monitor this going forward and address as necessary. The DVD has been replaced and apologies if the light had needed new bulbs. The outside patio furniture has been completely replaced in September 2021 with a new wooden set including table, benches and parasol. Property Owner

"The cottage was clean and comfortable and very well equiped, it was only a 5 min walk into village but a very steep hill so might not suit someone with limited mobility, the Spar was handy and sells everything !"

The parking is a bit tricky but the road is very quiet so room for a couple of attempts.The Maritime museum in the church is well worth a visit and we liked The Ship pub in Edern, although there is no garden, there is plenty of space to sit outside at the front.

Many thanks for your comments. We are including information jn the pre arrival email to explain how to approach/park at the property. We have now also clarified on the advert that it is an external patio area. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"Your listing was not accurate and the pictures were misleading."

The 'spacious driveway' was very difficult to park on with one car, not the 2 as described, there was no gate to keep the dog safe, the hot water was scaldingly hot, the shower was a dribble, some of the kitchen units are falling to pieces, the skylight in the hallway is not secure and lots of spiders get in there. The bistro seating consists of 2 tired old metal garden seats, the 'toasty electric fire" had a plug and lead which didn't reach the socket which made it unusable. It appears that the description was written by an imaginative poet rather than a professional letting agent. Having said that, the lounge and bedrooms are comfortable and the location is fine. Fortunately, the weather was kind to us. We love the Llyn peninsular and have visited many times over the years, so we know what to expect, but we were disappointed on this occasion.

We have now clarified on the advert that it is an external patio area leading to an ungated driveway with access to the road. Apologies if this was not clear at the time of your booking. The driveway will take two medium sized cars. The hot water is being checked and the shower has already now been replaced. The patio furniture has now been replaced with a new wooden table, benches and parasol. The fire cable/plug has been resolved, the water temperature is being checked and we have installed a new electric shower. The skylight is in keeping with the age of the property but is secure. The kitchen units are secure but we will of course check the hinges. We're glad you found the property comfortable and that you had a good time in the area. Property Owner

"Could do with a gate to keep dogs safe from the road."

Bedside table would be useful.

Thanks for your feedback, we have now clarified on the advert that the driveway leading to the road is ungated. We have also now put a bedside table into the property, thank you for the suggestion. Property Owner

Advertised views none existent due to ridiculous high hedge, no garden, dog friendly but not secure, cooker difficult to use, stroll to the beach just under a mile,could benefit from electric shower

We are amending the advert to ensure it is clear that the external area is a patio leading to an ungated driveway which leads to the road and we have installed a new electric shower. Property Owner

"We had a very nice week that was much helped by fine weather!"

The cottage is comfortable and welcoming, well suited to our needs, a little tired in some ways but that’s to be expected. The location was a good base for visiting the many lovely beaches in the area, one highlight was the coastal walk from the cottage to the Ty Coch Inn. One improvement suggestion could be a small fenced area outside, stop the dog roaming!

Thank you for your comments. We take your feedback onboard and for now in the interests of transparency we have amended to the advert to clarify it is a patio leading to an ungated driveway onto the road so that guests are aware when making their booking. Property Owner

"We spent a long weekend here for the Bank Holiday and was not disappointed!"

Lovely cottage with basic facilities, perfect base for a short stay! The area was lovely with great beaches and walks nearby. The driveway is quite tight but we just about managed with a big car. Would have loved a small freezer compartment in the fridge but that was the only thing we felt was lacking. Thank you for a lovely, much needed break!

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. The driveway can take two average sized cars so we're glad you managed ok. Thanks also for the suggestion for a freezer, we have now put one into the property to enhance guests' holiday experience. Property Owner
