• "Great location for exploring the North Wales coast."

  The bungalow was nice and very warm; and had everything we needed for a lovely comfortable stay. Our Tibtean Terrier enjoyed the enclosed garden and playing ball on the green in front. Wouldn't hesitate to book again, thank you.

• "This was my second stay at Awelon Cottage and I've already booked for next year."

  I've never been in such a cosy cottage as this one and I've been in quite a few over the last couple of years. The decking out the back can be quite slippy when it's wet. Back garden is massive. Great for your furry friends. Wifi wasn't working so well this time but hopefully they'll get it sorted by the time I go back. The signal is pretty bad also but certainly didn't ruin my holiday. I just sent messages etc when I was out and about. Had a slight problem with the cooker and got in touch with them and was fixed within the hour. If you're thinking of going, just go, you won't be sorry.

  Thank you so much for your feedback! We aim to please! Yes, the wifi is a bit hit and miss and we are having a new provider for next season. Hopefully that will get it sorted! We are so pleased you have booked again! Can’t wait to greet you back! Property Owner

  Found the drive easy enough to maneuver and park a Nissan x-trail. Very comfy and close to most North Wales towns villages and attractions.

  Thank you so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Please come back again! Property Owner

  All you need for self catering pots, pans, cutlery etc. Unfortunately on leaving after stripping the beds we found the mattress covers on both beds in the downstairs room unacceptable! Please inform whoever is responsible.

  Thanks for your feedback! I’m so glad you told us about the mattress protectors. They have now all been replaced with brand new ones and I assure you they will be more regularly changed. Hope to see you again! Property Owner

• "We have had a lovely week in Awelon."

  It was clean and comfortable. We were fortunate with the weather and it was lovely to sit on the decking enjoying the sun. The decking and garden are neither overlooked or overlook any other gardens. The view is absolutely beautiful. The steps into the property are a little awkward, particularly as we had my not very mobile 92 year old mum with us, but not impossible, although would not be suitable for a wheelchair user. Parking was also a little difficult until we got used to it. The downstairs shower was noisy for a few seconds, but the main problem was that it was very stiff to turn on and off. My mum had to wait for someone to do this for her before she could shower - that's the only reason I have put 4 stars instead of 5. The rest of the property was lovely.

• "The house was lovely, especially the kitchen diner and the lovely views."

  As others had previously mentioned the driveway is unusable so we had to park in front of next door's house for a week (to allow the other houses nearby to access their driveway as kind of a shared access thing going on. I apologised to the neighbour for this. The biggest issue is the WIFI. Sykes were a joke to deal with. 5 calls, incorrect information passes to the owner, a promised visit that did not happen (and I wasted my first night staying in alone waiting for the no-show), they knew no one was coming and didn't pass on the information. I have contacted Sykes separately but just received a standard sorry and have a nice hoilday. Won't book with them every again.

  Thank you for your feedback and I’m very glad that, overall, you enjoyed our property. We responded to issues with the wifi as soon as we were made aware and you were very grateful for the help you gave us in resolving it. We also appreciate that the drive IS a little tight but it is usually manageable with care. I hope you enjoyed the little gift we sent as a thank you. Property Owner

• "The property is lovely and quiet."

  Very clean and comfortable. It is situated well between several places of interest on the North Wales coast. The only problem we had was with the internet as we had brought our firestick to watch films and sport but we couldn’t due to the fact there was no internet, likewise anything on iplayer on Freeview or Sky. I would recommend the property not be advertised as having access to Wi-Fi.

  Thank you so much for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed the location of our property. With regard to the wifi we responded as soon as we were made aware that there was a problem and it turned out the the router itself simply needed resetting! I’m so sorry it was a problem for you so please accept our apologies for that. Rest assured it has been rectified and all is well now with things such as iPlayer and ITVx all working properly once again! Many thanks for your input! Property Owner

  Unfortunately no one bothered to call me back which was not a great start to the holiday. Fortunately everything at the property was great, clean, tidy and I could not find fault with anything. The driveway as previously mentioned by other reviewers is tricky and if you have a larger car, as I do, and can take some manoeuvring.

• "Awelon is a well equipped holiday home."

  I reversed a large saloon car onto the drive the first night in the dark to unpack the car with no problem - then read the previous reviews so did the same all week. Can't comment on the single beds as we only used the upstairs double which was very comfortable and the upstairs shower which was the same as ours at home so no problems here. However there was a problem with the riser rail and hand held shower head but no big deal. We watched BBC and ITV channels with ease and also Netflix in the evenings, as for blinds for the front window, maybe, but would have stopped us nosing at the locals walking their dogs on the green. No problem with our very athletic Border Collie here as the rear garden is secure as she tried to catch to the Magpies. Bins still confusing as no recycling containers put out and one place says put bin out by gate and elsewhere says bin persons collect it from drive so apologies if we got this wrong. 1 naff day in six early November so bungalow even comes with the weather. Thank you for enjoyable week.

• "This is one of the best cottages I have ever been in."

  There is everything you could possibly need. Lovely big back garden, watch your feet though on the decking as slippy when wet. Parking was a nightmare, as down a slope. It's better to park on the road. Sadly this was my last holiday with Sykes, due to some discrepancies in the past so unfortunately I can't book this lovely cottage again. But definitely one of the best cottages I've rented. Thanks for a lovely few days.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. That is really very much appreciated. I’m only sorry we shan’t see you again! Property Owner

• "Absolutely lovely place, very clean and lots of information in folders for appliances & of things to do out and about."

  Stunning views from the back garden. Games, books and DVD's available. Couple of tiny downsides - confusion over the bins, as we had to phone to ask about the recycling green stacking bins, to be told the property didn't have them. Also the other bin with the red lid was picked up from drive by binmen. On list we thought that was the one that had to be put out at end of month. Couldn't work out how to get shower upstairs to work, so just used the downstairs one instead. Would suggest a stairgate if dogs are to be kept downstairs. Found it better to reverse on to the drive. I WOULD DEFINITELY BOOK AWELON AGAIN , Many thanks

  Thank you so much for your review. I’m so glad you had a good time. We recently had to change the company that collects the bins and there is a bit of confusion over when they are collecting. Will get it sorted an put a notice in the house. And we will get a staircase, too! Thanks for that! Property Owner

• "First impressions were the dormer bungalow was spacious, light and well equipped."

  We knew that the dining room patio doors led to decking and steps down to the garden which was lovely to sit outside but the front (side) door was level to the drive and had level access to the lovely garden but inside the door were steps up to the property’s hallway this was not mentioned in the listing and it made things difficult as we had 2 people with some mobility issues and two young children. The large dining room/kitchen was laminated and the floor seemed grubby and felt sticky walking on it, the white plastic on the patio doors had a lot of dirty groups specks on them and obviously had not been washed in a very long time. The downstairs shower would not drain so when we removed the drainage cap to allow the water to drain away we could see that it had not been cleaned for a very long time, it was black and thick with congealed hair etc, we took photos, the upstairs shower was the same. The downstairs toilet brush was filthy and needed replacing, also the shower mat was black underneath. The dishwasher, that we did not use, had congealed dishwashing tablets on the interior and when we emptied the recycling bins as instructed we saw the bins were filthy inside causing a bad smell. We had assumed that as we were not allowed into the property until 5pm and had to leave by 9am that the reason was for deep cleaning due to the Covid era that we are in, but this was the dirtiest place we’d been in, we have booked many times with Sykes and things have always been good previously. The other major problem were the downstairs twin beds which were not fit for purpose, they were atrocious, very uncomfortable, very rickety and very noisy, leaving people with bad backs and pain. The upstairs beds were good. Then there was the horrendous noise from the laminate flooring which seemed to echo through the property and the stairs and upstairs floor boards creaked excessively often waking the baby. The downstairs taps were also very noisy and we avoided using them at night. The sitting room window was very big but had no net curtain and as the property was surrounded by other houses it was quite exposed particularly when neighbours were gardening and putting all of their bins in front of the property and constantly looking in, a net or vertical blinds should be a must. The listing stated ample parking, parking was difficult for us we had to let people out of the vehicles before parking as we could only open one door, it may have been okay for small vehicles but not our SUV-Crossover and it was easier to park roadside. To be honest, sadly, we couldn’t wait to leave.

  The single bed on the right as you go into the ground floor bedroom is sloping on one side. the patio door on the left hand side in the dining room is difficult to lock. apart from these small niggles the accommodation was fine. I would say the rear steps would be a little difficult for a handicapped person. The dining room and kitchen is well equipped is, nice and spacious and front lounge comfortable. A nice little area at the rear of the property to enjoy the evening sunsets. A great touring area and delightful beaches well suited for children of all ages.

  The driveway was a nightmare (steep slope and not well made). Struggled to get out. The bathroom downstairs needs a complete overhaul - wonky basin hot tap and a very poor shower that I could not turn on as it was so stiff. The wc didn’t flush well - had to keep the handle down whilst flushing. Resorted to using upstairs bathroom which was 100% better. On a positive note,the bungalow was clean and very spacious with easy access, via the garden, to expansive area which was ideal for dog walking. The only downside was there was no gate from the garden to the driveway so could not let her out on her own.v

Downstairs shower room - toilet did not flush, hot tap hanging off - reported to individual, but noted this has previously been noted by other users last year and not addressed. Offered to send plumber, but I was expected to wait in and would not agree to that. 4. TV - SMART TV, no instruction guide available, father deaf and relied on sub titles, not always on programmes. 5. Lounge window extremly dirty and needs cleaning 6. Curtains in lounge and dining room not easy to draw, need lubricating. 7. Patio doors difficult to close - previously noted by other guests 8. On Saturday, a woman, her husband and dog arrived and said they had booked the accomodation. They were contacting the owner, but I do not know the outcome. 9. Garden needs some general tidying up, pruning, lets the close down 10. The driveway needs some modification, again previously raised in visitors book by other residents. On a positive, the bungalow was beautifully located and great for exploring.

• "Nice quiet place."

  We had a couple of problems. One of the downstairs twin beds was broken but after a couple of phone calls to Skyes team it was fixed with a sticking plaster but needs a new bed. The downstairs toilet needs attention to as it sometimes doesn’t flush properly. The upstairs staircase is not ideal for elderly people or young children. The early departure time does not give people time to get things done I.e. washing your breakfast dishes putting the trash out and putting your luggage in the car. We decided to leave a day early as this gave us time without rushing to do all that needed to be done. We understand that because of Covid the cleaning team needs more time to do a thorough job but it’s a big ask if you have a family with young children or elderly parents that take more time with things. Overall we had a good time.

  If you are driving a small car low down it's not as bad but getting a 4X4 in and out is difficult as the mirrors are high off the ground and with the steep slope make things more difficult, Moving part of the garden wall back on the curve would improve things.

  Very well equipped and spacious. Lovely quiet location, and great country views from the back. Unfortunately, the cafés, bars & restaurants in Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay & Llandudno were still closed (inside), and the weather was a bit wet and windy most of the week, we couldn't sit outside for drinks/meals. So, we had lunch/dinner at home, this wasn't a problem as there is a lovely big kitchen/diner! Hopefully, restrictions will be lifted very soon, as the amenities in the surrounding areas are excellent! Our only concern was the doors to the patio were very difficult to unlock & lock, needs looking at? Sat-nav took us a long awkward way around to the cottage, but we found 2 easier routes. Top marks for the "housekeepers" as the cottage was spotless when we arrived - well done! Thanks Sykes, for having such a gem of a place on your books! Regards, Helen, Rick, Susan & Carl
