What our customers say about their holidays

  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  The cottage was great but let down so badly with the cleanliness.

  We had to clean on arrival before starting our break which we shouldn’t have to do. The main living room smelt of dogs/urine and black hairs all over the floors and sofas. We had to empty the hoover as it was so full it wouldn’t suck up which wasn’t pleasant. The sofas smelt and were dirty. The blankets left under the table were dirty and full of dog hairs.The top right grill was thick with grease so when we used it it would smoke and smelt so we couldn’t use it. The dishwasher filter was thick with grease so we had to clean that also. The washing up bowl was greasy so we cleaned that. While hoovering the sofa in the snug room we found a dirty hairy sock behind the cushions. Chocolate bar and empty wrapper found in one of the bedrooms. The en suite fan didn’t work and the mattress springs have gone on one side. We understand it is dog friendly which is great but it needed so much more of a clean especially as it is dog friendly and dog hair everywhere is not nice. Once we cleaned the cottage ourselves it was great. We loved the hot tub and views and the cottage was beautiful just let down by the cleanliness unfortunately

  We arrived and all seemed well as the living room was well presented and smelt nice.

  However, the washing machine was filled with damp bed sheets (which smelt of mould after being sat in there for god knows how long!). The master bedroom had chocolate stains on the bedding, one of the towels had orange / yellow stains, there were damp / muddy footprints from the downstairs bathroom as though dirty feet just showered, dust everywhere, a strange bodily smell in the master bedroom when arriving and limescale all in the kettle which made hot drinks taste bad. Additionally, in the night a mirror on the stairs fell down at 3am, waking us abruptly, we reported in immediately and became concerned for other fixtures, as if that was in the day time it could have landed on our toddler or dog. Upon returning home, saw the landlord charged the housekeeping bond (my card!) for the fixture of £55!!! When said fixture fell as it was poorly fitted with silicone clearly. Would not book again due to all of the above. Poor cleaners / care for the property and shocking to charge me for their ill and dangerous fittings falling apart, which is solely their maintenance issue.

  We arrived to dirty bedding and towels still within the property.

  This was sorted after a phone call with the property owner and an additional hours wait (previous 'tenants' to blame), door for ensuite upstairs hanging off hinge (temp fix by husband due to being exhausted from travel), WiFi hub without plug (did offer to provide one, but had one from charger to use), property flooded following heavy rain (told by 'maintenance man' that had happened before, and that we were 'lucky' as it was only 2-3 inches this time, accepted it was a drainage issue that affects the property) solution to flooding was a mop and dehumidifier, electrics lost for the day meaning takeaway needed to be purchased as 2 diabetics needed to eat, WiFi hub affected, taken in morning and told they'd be back in a bit, no replacement and no update- told to ask caravan owner behind if we could use his if we saw him, though the property owner would ask on our behalf, never heard back. Left a day early due to further forecasted rain. Works on drive started before 8am, meaning no lie-ins. Property owner and Sykes refusing to take liability for a very poor experience.

  Excellent cottage.

  Ideal location for exploring the Llyn peninsula and beyond. Brilliant for our dogs, 2 Cavaliers. They were safe in the garden which was shared with next door but that was not a problem, it was secure also the front of the cottage was also enclosed. Only issues we had was the heating never came on. Did report it and Dewi came straight out but it still didn't come on, the cottage next door had the opposite problem their heating never went off so they gave us the logs they bought. The other small issue was you have a washing machine and a line so did some washing but couldn't find any pegs so had to dry the washing on a clothes airer which was under the stairs. No real problem will just take some pegs next time. On the whole very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay there again, if we go to that area.
