“Great location and lovely cottage, will recommend to others”
Mrs Davies October 2018

“Little things let this property down, back windows need replacing which would help with the noise complaints from some reviews.”

More utensils needed in kitchen and storage needed although I think the owner is aware of this. Really comfortable beds and seating area although maybe another sofa if accommodating 6 adults. Location is great and we would definitely recommend and book again.

Beautiful cottage very spacious for 4 adults and a large dog No negatives Would book again but maybe if just with my husband the smaller property next door ( same owner ) Mrs Susan Foster

“Fantastic accommodation and a stunning place to visit.”

Plenty of facilities and amenities to hand - very helpful local residents. I would highly recommend this cottage and the surrounding area. However one constructive criticism is that the accommodation could do with a coffee table of some sort. As with the large living area there isn’t anywhere to place cups etc. We didn’t have an issue but with it being a dog friendly some owners could have issues with drinks on the floor. Will definitely be returning to North Wales!

“As others have already mentioned, the noise from the live music held outside the pub is obtrusive, even with the windows closed - easily drowned out the TV, no matter how loud we turned it up!”

- However, it was only one night and we quite enjoyed the band! The property is very conveniently sited, parking in the pub carpark (which is where the property is) was also easy and convenient. Some aspects of the cleaning could be improved (top of the fridge?) and we had to go out and purchase washing up liquid and dishcloths. Some owners provide, some obviously don't. All in all though, we very much enjoyed our stay.

“Well situated cottage behind High Street in Criccieth.”

Welcome pack very good, cottage was clean and tidy. Everything we needed was there but we were only 2 people, cutlery,pots etc would just about do 6. We really liked the fact that there weren’t lots of notices and instructions around the place - that made it more homely. Pub noise on Saturday we expected so wasn’t a problem and didn’t go on too long. Parking was ample and the sea a short walk.

“I emailed you regarding the possibility of a slightly later departure.”

We hired 2 cottages next door to each other but owned by the same person. This meant there was a possibility of leaving one for the cleaners to start on and one to extend our stay by a couple of hours at the most. I explained it was my sons wedding and we could have been really stuck with no base to use. I received the standard reply - unfortunately the cleaners need to be able ........ etc. I phoned the owner who was amazing and said it was no problem as we had hired both. This is something you could have done. Because of your unhelpful ness and inability to take on board a customers dilemma I may have had to cancel my booking and booked a hotel for the night before for 8 people. My hat goes off to the owner and the cleaner but not to the staff at Sykes.

“The cottage was warm and comfortable and info and brochures were very useful especially for eating out.”

We liked upside down living and somewhere to lounge in the evening. Beds were very comfortable and the en suite had a lovely big shower.

“Had a great stay at Cefn Brn Mawr.”

Great location and lovely beautiful cottage. Hopefully we will be back soon.
Mr Taylor March 2018

“This is the 11th cottage we have rented in GB over the years and our least favorite.”

The kitchen is poorly equipped simply because for a 6 person cottage they only have 5 place settings. I did text the manager who failed to respond to my concerns.. .The rest of the kitchenware is minimal at best as were the other supplies for cleaning etc. .. The cleaning also leaves a lot to be desired. Some areas such as under the beds, as one of our party described it as disgusting. Based on our previous experiences this cottage was not equipped to the standard of the others and was a big disappointment.

“Lovely accomadation.”

Close to beach and local shops/ pubs . Visited lots of lovely places. Friendly local people' excellent value for money.

We came here for a holiday to go on the beach it was really nice the beds were nice and comfortable it was warm (but the upstairs window latch was snapped of by someone which meant the heating was constantly on to get rid of the draft coming in) there was noise coming from the pub but that didn't bother us the location was amazing the sound of the trains coming past early morning and late night there were tons of things to do like go to aber falls and stand under the waterfall it was great We definitely will come again Thanks, The Dimelow Family
Mr Osley February 2018

“We loved the house.”

Only a couple of things were a worry. Some of the windows upstairs didn’t have catches - and could easily be opened by our 4 year old. A fall hazard. Plus one downstairs not secure either so anyone could get in fairly easily to break in while out. But we did see Gwyn as we left and we let him know all this. The front door could do with a blind on it to preserve modesty coming out of the bathroom. Loo brush needed in ensuite. Apart from that it was clean, lovely and warm and cosy. We loved it. Especially our little one who loved his chair as he called it. The swing seat. It was a fab base for exploring locally and doing lots of castles. Excellently placed for touring if you are not bothered about a big garden - and because there’s so many lovely places nearby like the beach it was perfect for us. The train track didn’t bother us and neither did the pub. The decor is lovely and fresh looking. Great place.

“A beautifully presented cottage in a lovely Welsh town that was perfect for exploring the area without having to travel very far.”

Only a few minutes walk to the lovely beach and good cycle routes. The cottage was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in and we even received a lovely welcome pack. Sadly this was spoiled. The cottage is situated behind what seems to be a quiet pub. Unfortunately the comment on the website of 'associated noise' from the pub was a little underestimated. Despite having had a lovely week, it was spoiled by the very loud music from a party in the outdoor area of the pub on the last night. This may have been a 'one-off', who knows, but it was so loud that we couldn't even hear the television. What a shame. It would definitely stop us going back and needs to be seriously considered by other users before booking.

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Clean tidy kitchen utensils and saucepans a little minimal but otherwise very good.
