  • "What a beautiful place!"

    We all had a fantastic stay and were all blown away by the property. Everything was immaculate, great facilities and perfect for what we needed. I had a 5 month baby so brought a travel cot with us, the master bedroom was perfect with plenty of space and chairs in there to feed him too. Mark and Jo were always at hand to answer any messages and offered fantastic advice on places to eat. Walkable distance into Porthmadog if desired, we had a gorgeous ice cream from Cadwaladers, possibly one of the nicest we’d had! My husband is already wanting to book again and explore the golf courses! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

    Well equipped for all needs and decorated to high standard. Well situated for getting around North Wales and close enough to amenities. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Just one little thing to note the access steps to front door and garden steps could do with some sort of rail to help children and the less abled as they got a bit slippy in the rain.

    Everything for self catering was well provided. Well situated for town centre and walks. Suited our family of 6 plus dog. Family was mixed age group from 76 years to 19 years. Although towels are provided, 1 hand towel per bathroom was not enough. Had we known we would have taken more ourselves. This did not change our view, it’s really a home from home. The welcome gift was a really nice touch too and well received. Also thank you to the owners for their restaurant recommendations. I would certainly recommend this lovely accommodation.

    It is pure luxury with quality furnishings. It was nice to receive a welcome text and a very generous welcome pack from the owners.The only thing that we feel is missing is a little fence by the stairs in the garden as if a child or a dog was playing in the garden they are in danger of running over the edge. We would recommend this property 100%.

  • "Genuinely exceeded all my expectations."

    It’s a beautiful property with all the mod cons you could ask for. From the moment we walked through the door we were impressed. A lot of thought was put into the little touches; A lovely gift basket, a selection of boardgames in the hall, timer and motion activated lighting, access to a fan, smart TVs in every room and Wi-Fi extenders to ensure good coverage on every floor… This is a place where genuine consideration has been put into every aspect of your experience and I was very impressed. Porthmadog is also lovely, excellent access to boutique shops and multiple supermarkets, and perfectly situated for exploring Snowdonia and beyond.

    Many thanks for your review and we were delighted with your response to the property. We wanted to provide a home from home with mod-cons so it was great to hear that we exceeded your expectations. It is also good to hear that you enjoyed Porthmadog and the surrounding areas.

    The welcome pack of sweet and savoury treats and tea was a really lovely touch. The open plan kitchen and lounge allowed us to have a very sociable stay with our grown up children! The enclosed garden was ideal for our son's Dachshund. Everything had been thought of for a weekend stay, instantly making us feel at home. We loved the location; we felt we were in the country and yet the High Street at the end of the lane: perfect.

  • "The twin room downstairs would not have been suitable for 2 adults."

    Narrow beds, little space & insufficient storage. Should be listed as a childrens room. Our 89 year old mother struggled due to the height and width of the beds. One reason for choosing the property was to ensure that she had a downstairs room with toilet facilities on the same floor.

    We were sorry to hear that the downstairs bedroom did not come up to your expectations and that your mother struggled with the beds; had you let us know we may have been able to help with a solution. They are standard height beds and the images are shown on the website. The downstairs bedroom has a double wardrobe and a good size chest of drawers. We would always encourage anyone who has special requirements to contact Sykes ahead of booking to clarify any information regarding the property. Property Owner

    Well positioned for exploring Snowdonia, the Llynn Penninsula and the wider area. The property is modern, clean and well provisioned (A washer/dryer was the only absent item of note for those staying for a week or longer). There are several cottages in the terrace and being a modern conversion the walls are not brilliantly insulated. Our stay was slightly blighted by a group of lads in No 1 on a stag weekend which involved partying until 3am on our first two nights - not great, but no fault of the owners of No 2

    Sometimes the screen on the main tv would hang and we were unable to watch when mirroring from an IPad. All 4 of us had IPads and there were times that we couldn’t get the internet. Not a major criticism as the accommodation was so good, just a minor irritation. The top bathroom needs a shaver socket like the one in the master bathroom, as we had to share to be able to recharge our toothbrushes. Fortunately, I wet shave. Again, a minor inconvenience
