The house was extremely clean and well-equipped right down to extra games for the children. The house was warm and the hot pool wonderful! No complaints on that score at all. One suggestion of better information on finding the property itself. Given that I had the owners mobile number I was unperturbed when we got lost -until I discovered we had no mobile signal. However, the local Post Office soon put us on the right track. Would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to return.

“We were expecting a farm cottage in the middle of nowhere.”

Which we got but that takes away from the accommodation. It was a lovely farm cottage with everything we needed. Clean and well equipped so we felt like we were on holiday, but relaxed enough to feel at home.

Mr Randall October 2019

“Anwen was a really nice and please host.”

From before we got there Anwen text us directions of how to find the cottage that were excellent, as I wouldn’t have stood a chance without them. The cottage was ideally located for visiting local attractions and the scenery breath taking. My wife and kids enjoyed the hot tub. The only small criticism if you could call it that was the sofa was very hard so you couldn’t relax, the chair next to the sofa was fine so I sat there, but we were out 90% of the time so only a little moan. Amenities in the cottage were great. I would highly recommend the cottage.

“The cottage we stayed in was lovely .”

Anwen the owner was a lovely lady who couldn't do enough for us

Miss Blowers September 2019

“Great location, lovely cottage, amazing views.”

Had a amazing time in Wales, only one bit of advice,which would be replace the settee as it was so uncomfortable and felt like sitting on a bench!!! Would go back and stay again if there was a different settee as you couldn’t relax in the evenings.

“The location was just what we were looking for peaceful”

- Mr Fryer, August 2019
Mrs Lay August 2019

“Spacious,comfortable well equipped cottage with everything provided for a great holiday.”

I also appreciated the full-size fridge freezer which enabled us to stock all our family foods easily especially when you are feeding a family of 5, much better than some holiday homes which only supply a tiny freezer compartment which is neither use nor ornament. Our host Anwen is a lovely lady who was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

- Mrs Lay, August 2019
Mr Trott June 2019

“Fantastic cottage.”

Good layout with everything we needed. Perfect rural location that allows you to explore the North Wales coast from Chester to Caernarfon. Very friendly greeting with the owners on site to assist with any needs or offer suggestions. The hot tub overlooking the farms fields with grazing cattle while the sun sets was a great way to end the day!

- Mr Trott, June 2019
Mrs Cox May 2019

“Owner was very welcoming and was hand if we should need anything.”

Cottage was in a beautiful setting. Great place to get away from it all and relax.

“Nice barn lovely people”

- Mr Wooldridge, May 2019
Mrs Chennells May 2019

“Ysgubor Barn was ideal for our needs.”

The downstairs bedroom and shower room suited my elderly mother who finds it difficult to climb stairs. All the facilities we needed were there and Anwen, our host was able to help with any request. The hot tub was an added bonus.

- Mrs Chennells, May 2019
Miss Davey March 2019

“Brilliant location.”

Lovely places to eat only 5 mins drive away. Nice cottage and lovely owners-very helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. Nice hot tub and view. Definitely recommend.

Mr Sawyer September 2018

“A lovely welcome by the owner, Anwen Jones, who couldn't have been more helpful.”

A very comfortable and spacious cottage. We would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting a Welsh escape from it all. Lastly, the The Bull, in Abergele is well worth going to for a meal both in the quality of its food and its reasonable prices.

It was just what we needed handy to the local facilities but away from the hustle of life nice friendly and welcoming lady that looks after the cottages

- Mrs Burns, September 2018
Mrs Cardew August 2018

“Might be useful for future visitors to inform them that the cottage is in a very rural isolated position and involves driving along some single track country lanes.”

This might not suit everybody! However, the views were spectacular and it was delightful to sit in the garden when the weather permitted. Anwen was a very considerate, friendly and helpful host and really made us feel at home. We also loved the luxury of our own private hot tub!

- Mrs Cardew, August 2018
Miss Rickeard July 2018

“Lovely cottage with large rooms.”

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Only reason for reduced rating on comfort was that mattress was a bit soft for my husband.

- Miss Rickeard, July 2018
Mrs Munn June 2018

“Anwen could not have been more pleasant, leaving birthday banners for me, and just generally welcoming, the cottage is lovely, the bedrooms are fabulous, and the views are spectacular, would stay again in a heartbeat.”

- Mrs Munn, June 2018
Mr Newbon May 2018

“Although the glorious weather was a fabulous bonus we could not fault Ysgubor Barn, we were met at the door by Anwen the owner who showed us around the cottage and its superb facilities.”

Anwen gave us lots of information about the local area and things to do further afield. We are a family of five my wife and I, our daughter and partner and our four year old grandson, the cottage met our needs perfectly with a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for the old folks and the younger ones upstairs in two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The cottage is on a working farm in the middle of nowhere, the only noise came from the farm animals and the occasional tractor. That said it is only a five minute drive to Abergele with a good selection of shops and a large Tesco, fifteen to twenty minutes takes you Colwyn Bay with its super beaches. In thirty minutes you can be in the beautiful Victorian seaside town of Llandudno or Conway with its thirteenth century castle and Thomas Telford bridge. All in all this cottage has it all and we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful break but with lots of attractions close by.

- Mr Newbon, May 2018
Miss Fitzgerald April 2018

“Absolutely amazing weekend spent there.”

The cottage is beautiful, peaceful and exceeded all our expectations, so much so, we didnt want to leave. The owners were so kind, friendly and helpful and gave plenty of useful information during our stay. We will defiantly be returning! Gemma.

- Miss Fitzgerald, April 2018
Mrs Harrison March 2018

“We really enjoyed staying in this well equipped, cosy holiday cottage.”

In particular, we looked forward to relaxing in the hot tub after I day out exploring. The three bedrooms were all roomy and comfortable with fabulous views over the farm, countryside and snow mountains in the background. A remote but at the same time central location for exploring north wales; just half hour drive from Llandudno and beautiful Conwy. There was two large shower rooms with powerful hot showers. The open plan lounge/ diner was perfect for our family of 5 to relax in and spend time together in the evening. We had a really lovely three day break and thank Anwen for her kind hospitality.

Mr Maitland October 2017

“Another excellent Sykes cottage”

- Mr Maitland, October 2017
Mrs Buckley September 2017

“A lovely quiet location, handy for the coast and Snowdonia, Anwen the host was very nice, friendly lady the facilities were excellent we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and hope to return.”

- Mrs Buckley, September 2017
Mr Vardy July 2017

“Wonderful reception by owner.”

. flowers and some wonderful touches. She was very helpful on places to visit too. The property is on a single track road so no traffic noise just the mooing of cows and perfect tranquility.

- Mr Vardy, July 2017
Miss Boston March 2017

“Lovely cottage on a farm, nice and peaceful and the host was extremely nice and helpful.”

- Miss Boston, March 2017
Mrs Collins August 2016

“This was the perfect holiday.”

Not very far to go if you wanted entertainment or nightlife. There was a slight problem with the internet and wifi connections but we were in the Welsh hills and not being funny but it's a holiday. None of us missed it at all. Would highly recommend this location and will certainly be using Sykes again. Thank you very much.

- Mrs Collins, August 2016
Mrs Clawson July 2016

“The warm welcome given by the owner; she was keen to assure us that we could go to her with any problems, which was very reassuring, but everything was perfect for our 'switch off' break.”

The hot tub was superb and we used it every night. When we returned home and I found I'd left my jacket (with mobile scooter key in the pocket), the owner kindly posted it to me, refusing payment. It's very apparent that customer satisfaction is top of the list here and we hope to return.
