  • "The holiday cottage is huge, plenty of space to meet our needs, lots of character and an ideal base to explore the surrounding areas."

    We personally found the beds uncomfortable, one so much so we couldn't use that bedroom at all. The general upkeep and cleanliness was lacking, thick dust throughout, lots of stains on curtains etc. The kitchen in particular was extremely disappointing with a dirty and very rusty fridge, heavy limescale on the kettle, sink & worktops not properly cleaned and every cupboard and kickboard filthy. The washing machine is covered in gunk and mould, shower heads and around shower screens also showing mould. The bifold doors is not fixed from at least May (going by an earlier review mentioning this) and garden although very secure for our dog had a large area full of broken plant pots and dead Christmas trees. The gate to access the property needs to be held open to enter/exit. I think with a deep clean and maintenance this property would be fabulous but for us it was not to expected standard. Owner was contacted during our stay and did offer for the caretaker to come and address issues but we felt there was too much needing to be done and we didn't want our holiday time disrupted by accomodating intensive cleaning.

    Dear Scott, Thank you for your review, I am pleased that you enjoyed the location, size and character of the house. The vast majority of our guests have rated cleanliness highly with some calling the house "spotless" , and our cleaner and caretaker are excellent. When an issue was raised during your stay we immediately offered to attend but because you declined this offer we were unable to witness your claims which contradict other guests reviews. Regarding the beds , they are a combination of John Lewis, IKEA and other trusted suppliers. Most guests find them to be comfortable. Regarding the large area with dead Christmas trees , this is the compost heap. Regarding the bifold doors , these are indeed locked and they will remain so for safety/security reasons. There is another door 1 metre away from the bifold doors which provides garden access. The gate to access the property does not need to be held open to enter/exit. Kind regards Mike Stringer Property Owner

  • "Whilst the property was quirky with plenty of space, it would have been helpful to have the layout described."

    I would not recommend for families with young children as bedrooms can be a long way from other bedrooms. Equally , some mattresses were extremely uncomfortable , also some had no mattress covers. An old property but half of the cups were dirty and dirty towels in the property. A big problem is being able to speak with a Sykes representative to discuss issues. Also difficult to address following the holiday, dampens the memory of the holiday.

    Dear Anne, thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear from your initial email to Sykes holidays that you enjoyed your stay on the whole and found the property to be "quirky and homely ".Thank you also for admitting to Sykes that you broke one of our pictures, we won't be charging for this as we understand that accidents can happen. We had wondered who was responsible , so thank you. Your comments regarding the towels and cups is very surprising to us as all linens and crockery are washed thoroughly after every guest stay, furthermore no such stains were reported to us by our fastidious caretaker nor the cleaner upon your departure. All mattresses have mattress covers. Our mattresses are sourced from IKEA, John Lewis and other trusted suppliers. We are very pleased at the many positive reviews left by other guests on Sykes and booking.com. Kind regards Mike Stringer Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage , just what we needed ,peace and quiet ."

    With the right management and updated interior the cottage would much improved . how ever i did enjoy my holiday . the owner did sort a problem with the down stairs mattress.

    Dear David, thank you for your review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and liked the cottage. We were only too happy to purchase an extra mattress topper with same day delivery during your stay in order to ensure the additional comfort of one of your guests; guest satisfaction is of paramount important to us and we always aim to resolve any rare issues as promptly as possible.  As it is a 250 year old cottage we have taken efforts to maintain the cottage's character and charm, whilst also providing all the modern conveniences our guests might require. Our excellent on-site property manager ensures that the paintwork and furnishings are kept in exemplary condition and that the cottage is kept very clean - we generally receive excellent feedback on these aspects. Thank you again for your review Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location."

    Loved the sea views from the garden - perfect for watching the sunset. Cottage has loads of character and space for guests. Every room had a bathroom, which was handy. Kinmel Arms is just a short walk away with friendly bar staff and delicious food. Recommend the Sunday roast. Location is also handy for visiting Abergele and Colwyn Bay. We had a wonderful weekend!

  • "This property is beautiful even better than the photos."

    Very spacious and comfortable , lovely enclosed outdoor space perfect for our little Pomeranian to run around . A stones throw away from an inviting village pub . Sadly the bifold doors in the first reception room were not operational , it would have been nice to be able to open these up when the weather was nice (there is a door to the side of then to gain access to the garden) . That being said we still had a fantastic time and we really did not want to leave . We will most certainly be returning and for longer next time . Thank you

  • "We have just returned from a lovely, relaxing weekend in North Wales!"

    The accomodation was perfect - exactly what we were after and more! Location was ideal as we have family in St George and friends in Mochdre. The accomodation was huge - like a tardis! There were 4 good sized bedrooms, 2 ensuite bathrooms and 2 additional bathrooms which was perfect for 7 of us! There was a huge kitchen with everything you need, a huge dining room where we enjoyed a family Easter dinner and 2 seating areas! Everything in the house was spotless! Truly a home from home! There was a beautiful sitting area outside where you can sit and look out on the water. Fantastic accomodation for a very decent price considering everything you get! We will definitely be back!

    Thank you very much for your kind review. We are always very pleased when guests love the house as much as we do Property Owner

  • "Cottage lovely in nice location."

    We got lots of stings as the garden area had lots of overgrown nettle bushes around. One of the garden chairs was broken. Double gate to drive has gap under it so need to be careful with smaller breed dogs, rest of garden areas secure. Couldn't initially find appliance instructions. First time we haven't been left a welcome starter on arrival i.e. milk biscuits. Being all Vegan, we were not happy with down duvets and feather pillows. Could be a problem for those with allergies too. All in all though we would visit again, now that we are familiarised with the property.

    Thank you very much for your feedback on your stay at "Ty Croes".We are pleased that you found the cottage to be lovely , in a nice location and that you would visit again.Unfortunately we do not provide milk biscuits due to allergy issues.Fortunately ,according to Google , "True feather and down allergies are extremely rare".The missing screw in the garden chair has been replaced.The patch of nettles has been removed.Thank you again for your feedback and for staying at "Ty Croes".Kind regardsMichael Stringer Property Owner

  • "We recently stayed at Ty Croes, whilst working at Glan Clwyd Hospital, it’s a decent sized property with enough room for four contractors."

    It couldn’t be in a quieter location, there is a pub near by and it’s a couple of miles off of the main road, but it was ideal for us, offering flexible accommodation. I’d definitely book it again if we ever have to go back to work at Glan Clwyd.

    Dear Richard,we are very pleased that you and your colleagues enjoyed your stay at "Ty Croes" , and thank you very much for taking the time to write your review and we are very happy that you would book again. Property Owner
