  The location of this cottage is great, and the layout, with all its facilities was as expected from the advert and reviews seen prior to booking.

  The property has its own quirks with some modern touches, we loved the wireless speaker lamp! In my view the the owners are very lucky to own such a special house. We enjoyed our stay so Thankyou very much for sharing this Gem with us. The house was tidy and clean although dusty, I had to find a duster and dust around the lounge particularly round the tv area. This may be because it was cleaned after the last guest, but not been used for some days/ weeks. Also my husband walked through a big cobwebs when he first went into the kitchen. When looking for a container with a lid in the kitchen I noticed the kitchen was well equipped and has everything you need. One thing I noticed, which I wasn’t pleased about was that a glass butter dish was stored away unwashed, I left this out on the last day to make sure the owners/ cleaners cleaned this. Other than the cobweb/some dust/ dirty butter dish ( bear in mind this didn’t impact our stay) our only other complain was that there was no pillow protectors used and our bed had 4 pillows but only two had covers, there were no spare pillow cases in the house, which didn’t help either. I was disappointed at this as I’m a very clean and hygienic person and considering the covid times pillows with no protective covers And Pillow cases isn’t good! The mattress in the main bedroom is uncomfortable, springy and the bed creeks a lot! You just need to sit on the bed to hear it creek. also in the other bedrooms the mattresses/ beds are not any better in terms of being more comfy. As this is a holiday let I would recommend the owners invest in some good mattresses, after all a good night sleep is sometimes all that is needed when holidaying away from home.

  I have had an enjoyable weeks stay in Cornhill Courtyard which is a studio apartment.

  The location of the apartment is superb. It is situated in the old historic area of Porthmadog Harbour and has a wonderful view straight out over the beautiful harbour which you couldn’t better! I also really liked the fact that the large main room is so light, bright and spacious. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were also fine. Once the sofa bed was up with the topper on top it was very comfortable . However, I did have some issues with the sofa bed. I was staying in the property on my own and as a 75-year-old woman with an arthritic hip, I did find it quite a struggle at times getting the bed up and putting it away. On one occasion the fabric loops got trapped inside and it then became impossible to get it out or put it up on my own. However the owner was extremely responsive and arranged within a couple of hours for the cleaning company to come and sort it out which they did. It needed two men to lift out the mattress extension in order to release the fabric flaps. I had felt concerned about the parking situation in August. However, in the event I was able to park right outside the apartment on three occasions and very close by on the other four days. From 4:30 pm onwards Porthmadog gradually quieten down and plenty of free parking then becomes available. Security of the property is very good as there is a padlocked gate into a small courtyard. Despite the issues with the sofa bed I am very glad I stayed in the property, as I had a very enjoyable weeks holiday. It was lovely to revisit Porthmadog, which I had visited a lot as a teenager and young person, when my parents had a caravan in the area.

  First time, I booked a holiday cottage without reading other customer reviews.

  So when I got back home, I promised to write one, so that others can benefit. Purely based on property photos and description provided on the sykes website, I booked it. The cottage looks and feels 100% like the photos and description on the website. Lovely old slate cottage from the outside with traditional interiors inside. It was very clean, cosy, comfortable and very functional (modern). It is maintained to a very high standard and the owners have done a fantastic job of furnishing it and their attention to detail was amazing. You cannot beat the location, it is just behind the Porthmadog harbour, the heritage train station and walking (5 mins) distance to a number of pubs/eating places and the town center for super markets (Tesco, Aldi, Lidl). We reached the place in the middle of the night and got lost due to following the sat nav only. I suggest you follow the Sat nav instruction to a point, after that pls follow the instruction provided by the property owner, you would make it easily. We spent a week here and explored the North Wales and Snowdonia national park, drove to most places and spent the day outside, but we very much looked forward to coming back to the cosy cottage to spend our evenings in the warm lounge, rest in the cosy bed in the night and wake up to a hot power shower in the morning, We felt home away from home !!! I highly recommend this place for families visiting Wales.

  We could not recommend this property more highly!

  What a fabulous holiday home in a great location right by the harbour, less than 5 minutes walk from the High Street and with pubs and restaurants within a minutes walk. We had no problems with parking right outside the house and there are 2 carpark within 30 seconds walk from the house. The house is spotlessly clean and has been furnished to a high standard. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the lounge area is very comfortable and the games room on the first floor went down very well with our 11 year old and 14 year old giving them plenty to do and their own space. All beds were very comfortable with nice, super clean bedding. Plenty of storage too for clothes and for once a good amount of hangers! Loved the wireless charging bedside lamps in the huge master bedroom! Lovely clean bathroom with a huge walk in shower with plenty of hot water. The house was very warm with a good heating system and a good electric fire in the lounge. The communication from the owners was great both prior to our arrival and whilst we were staying. We appreciated the extra touches like the boxes of tissues, cleaning products in the kitchen, extra loo rolls, board games, videos & tourist info in the lounge side table. Thank you Mark & Nat, we will be back!

  Great location in Borth Y Gest. Easy quick 15 mins walk into Porthmadog to Lidell. Easy walk to the beaches and highly recommend daily trips to Black Rock (£5 parking for the day there). The cottage itself is very well maintained with a great living room and large patio – miss sitting on the patio enjoying breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. The bedrooms upstairs (one double, one with twin beds, and one with a single bed) had great windows and views. Bathroom upstairs with large bath and shower over the bath and toilet. Good sizes. Kitchen is well stocked and the welcome basket of Welsh tea, oatcakes, milk and bottle of wine was most welcome. Great hot water for the bathroom and the toilet downstairs was a nice luxury. Beds were very comfortable. Many TV channels for a lazy day in. Clean and welcoming and if we needed anything the owners were very prompt to respond. Local neighbours had a ready greeting for us. It was nice to watch the children playing games in the common area and if you had kids great place for them to play while the parents watch from the patio (or join in). Nice parking space next to the front door. Felt very safe and most welcome in the community. Would stay here again as great owners and wonderful location.
