Dog Friendly Pwllheli Holiday Cottages

  The Stables was well set up for our weeks stay with 3 adults and our medium sized dog. The garden is well secured to ensure our furry friend was able to roam with no chance of escape, and had loads of space to wander, sniff and get to know the sheep, lambs and friendly donkeys. The outdoor decking area with comfy seats was an excellent place to relax after a long day exploring, before we made use of the hot tub just as the sun was setting. There is a sea view from there if the weather is kind. For star gazers, the garden is a brilliant spot to see a full dark sky experience with the naked eye, just a shame we missed the Aurora which was visible across the UK on the night we had departed. The rooms were a good size, and had very comfy beds. The bathroom with separate shower or bath options was also a decent size. The only thing to be aware of is the stairs down between the various levels, as the property has been adapted brilliantly from what were previously disconnected stables and animal shelters. This was an excellent base for us to explore the coasts of North Wales and Anglesey, as well as allowing easy access into the heart of Snowdonia. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave us all a very warm welcome. The tip to visit Nant Gwrtheyrn (The Lost Village) near Nefyn was one we would never have thought of and well worth the trip down the very steep road. There is a car park with café right in the village so no need to park at the top, but take care in wet and winter, as getting back out the 25% gradient would be difficult. Nefyn beach is also well worth a visit at the right tide times. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in Pwllheli as well as a good sized beach for the dog if needed. We would highly recommend this property which is suitable for 4 adults and a pet, and is at the standard to be expected for this price range. Thanks for allowing us to make use of your wonderful holiday home for the week, and we can’t wait to return.

  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.

  This is the worst property we have stayed in over the 8 years of using sykes.

  Be prepared to take cleaning clothes,loo roll,washing up liquid and mop as the owners don't provide them. The hoover wasn't emptied and the steam cleaner and type of long handle duster thing was dirty and disgusting so had to go out and buy cleaning items.No surfaces in living room,bedroom have been dusted in weeks in fact this place wants a deep clean especially in corners of rooms where dirt and debris collected. In the bedroom there was a disgusting damp stained dog bed which needs to go in bin. Cobwebs with spiders in all rooms and very musky damp smell about the place. A lovely welcome pack of wine,cheese, butter,bread and milk was left but I think that money would have been better spent on starter pack of 1 loo roll as there was none, cleaning clothes and wash liquid. There isn't even a frying pan or oven trays to cook anything on. There was a roasting tray so we did everything on that. This apartment is situated in a lovely place and great for town and beach and accessible to great North wales days out. Also why is the apartment above have its doorbell connected to this apartment....very annoying and loud. We spent 3 days speaking and emailing photos to sykes who did absolutely nothing except contact owners who offered a reclean which I refused as we didn't want anyone in there with all our possessions and this should be clean b4 we got there. Owners said no compensation which we never asked for anyway. We won't be back. Very disappointed with lack of care from owners and sykes.

  Lovely place, everything you need for a short or longer break.

  Nice welcome pack. Well equipped but an iron and and a hairdryer would be great to add. Fantastic well maintained patio and a garden. Few downsides. As apart of a bigger property we had the ground floor and further two floors were occupied by other people. You could hear every noise especially the little boy running up and down from 7:30 every morning. Not ideal if you come to catch up with a sleep. The parking space on the back where our entrance was I thought was just for us, but our neighbours had two cars so they parked one on the front and the other in our space. That was causing problem getting to and from the car as the space wasn't quite big enough for two cars. Confusion with the waste collection. The rubbish has been cancelled every three weeks. We didn't know if that was the right week. The bin was full. We took it down the hill to the main road (quite a journey) just to find out that the general wast was collected last week, so we had to bring the full bin back. Visitors should be given the exact dates when the collection is actually happening. Overall our dogs and we had a lovely time.

  The Stables has been adapted to a wonderful standard, it sits within a lovely position with wonderful views. The donkeys are also a highlight and we're lovely to feed and pet. Kate was our favourite and liked to boop noses with our Bella through the fence. The hot tub is wonderfully positioned to enjoy the view and the addition of the enclosure makes the space usable for all weather. The location makes for a great base to explore so many wonderful beaches and other such walks. Everything we needed was catered for and the welcome goodies were greatly recieved. John and Dawn were wonderful hosts very friendly and welcoming. It truly felt like home from home. We will be sure to return and wish them every success for their own home renovations, which if are anything like the stable renovation with be wonderful! Thanks to you both for a relaxing and superb stay! :)
