  On arrival everything looked good.

  On entering the cottage we noticed an old and damp smell. We could not put any of our cloths in the drawers because of the damp smell. Later on we had to move the settee only the notice that the back had fungus on and some of the walls and tables also had damp showing. We think that the whole cottage needs a deep clean except for the bathroom which looks like it was new fairly recently. In the kitchen thinks did not get any better. The oven didn’t work, the knobs were dirty and the numbers for heat we’re worn out. The washing machine was really dirty and rusty so we did not use it and the fridge had rust on the door. All the utensils needed to be washed before we could use them. Reading the reviews from years back it must have been so much better. On the good side the garden was really nice with ponds and lawns and lots of seating areas and we were allowed to walk our dog anywhere. The owner was a lovely lady living there but I think it is all a bit much for her now. So sorry that this sounds so bad but it could be a lovely cottage with a good renovation

  Loved the cottage in general.

  nice and clean. good location, nicely welcomed. everything you need. good internet etc But would not stay again in winter. We had no manual control of the heating. Even though heating was remotely set to 27 degrees ( it never reached 27 degrees - I expect its because its a stone cottage ) , the radiators would go on and off and at times it was just too cold and nothing we could do about it except use blankets in the living room. I understand you don't want heating on full blast - for guest comfort and cost. But in middle of winter every radiator should at least be warm all the time - at times they were stone cold. Try and stay there all day and you will see for your self that it is too cold at times :-) hope to stay again in the summer but will not stay again for our annual Christmas visit to north wales. suggest having couple of electric heaters that guests can use at their own discretion if they want it warmer in winter All the best Paul, Lee and Noah X

  We booked this on the great garden that was advertised - unfortunately there was dog mess around the gardens and paths from the owners own dog (we did witness this) that was never cleared up.

  Another property that was on the owners property had a dog that actually got through the hedge and wanted to attack our dog or selves (luckily the owner managed to get it back) The cottage is decent but in urgent need of some TLC. There was no matching plates, and what was there were chipped, the cups were old with scratch marks inside etc and the kitchen cupboard floor was worn out and had holes in. All the appliances were very old and worn and rusty. There was no welcome pack to say where the local doctors, vets etc were or any other local facilities. There was only a list of pubs and restaurants. It would not take a great deal of time and money to make the cottage feel more welcoming - along with no dog mess. I have no idea if Sykes will actually publish this - but I would not say that this comes up to the expectations we have of a Sykes listed property as we have been using them for years and normally are more than pleased.

  The cottage was one of the best we have stayed in - and we have stayed in many over the years.

  The rooms were more spacious than expected, spotlessly clean, had plenty of storage and was equipped to a very good standard with some lovely homely touches. One small issue that we had with the heating (due only to the fact we had a 90 year old with us who felt the chill one cold evening) was sorted within 5 minutes of a phone call to Debbie. Remember to take your slippers as the tiled floor is cold despite the rooms being lovely and cosy. The garden is a real sun trap and completely secure so the dog was able to enjoy it as much as we did. A lovely location, ideal for walking and visits to the coast and surrounding towns. Would definitely book again.

  We had a wonderful stay at Little Gwaelod.

  Mrs Coates is a lovely lady who was more than happy to chat with us and suggest places for us to visit. The cottage provided us with everything we needed for a perfect holiday and it is in a great situation for traveling around Anglesey as it is just off Junction 4 of the A55. Beaches and access to the coastal path are close by. The cottage is at the end of a private driveway with ample room for parking in a safe and secluded environment. The gardens are glorious to explore or just relax in. We would have no hesitation in staying in this lovely cottage again. Many thanks to Mrs Coates for making our stay so enjoyable.
