  No proper provision for clothing.

  No Wardrobes or adequate drawers, no hangers for the rail fixed to the wall which we assume was for our clothes. We do not expect to have to live out of a suitcase. No oven dishes, no dishes for microwave, which we found very limiting. Lighting in the lounge area is insufficient. Heating was not set for our stay - we had to read the manual to turn it on. The Hot water was totally inadequate, pressure was very low except in the bath. We had to keep turning the BOOST button for a supply of hot water. No instructions were available for the setting of the controller. Instructions for the wifi were "See Router," which was securely fastened to the wall, the password etc. was on the back of the router which was very difficult to take off the wall. We did discover a card with the password etc. in a drawer later. The washbasin in the bathroom was much too small to be practical, and adequate only for washing your hands and cleaning teeth. The window in the Bunkbed room would not close. A child could lean against it whilst climbing the ladder and the window being insecure would open and the child fall out. As well as a security issue. The garden is definitely NOT safe for children there being an unfenced, almost sheer drop to the river below at the rear of the cabin.. Whilst this is mentioned in the information pack clients should be made aware of this before booking. Also mentioned in the info pack is a warning about the ramp. However this does require immediate attention as one of our party fell foul of the drop and the sharp edge gashing the leg. The travel directions supplied were totally lacking. We spoke to your agent who agreed, and said she would contact the owner and call back with fuller directions. No return call! The website has a link to Google Maps, which if followed leads to to the wrong road altogether. I note that Sykes have added a What Three Words to the directions on line. Had I not spent considerable time using OS Maps and Google maps, we could have found ourselves at a total loss. Whilst it is obvious that the cabin is in process of being renovated, we are of the opinion (judging against other properties we have stayed in from Sykes) the hire price is much too high. It is also worth mentioning in the cabin information the the cabin lies in the MACH LOOP, and extremely low and loud jets fly directly overhead, which at times causes the cabn to shake!

  We (which includes my two adult daughters and dog) arrived about 9pm on the Friday evening when it was just dropping dark.

  The instructions for access were clear and when we went in to the Chalet, it was so warm and cosy and so welcoming. The Chalet was clean with everything you need for a week away. It is one of 6 down a private lane. Beth sent me a pin drop and the instructions made finding it easy. The location is perfect. It is a short walk into Dinas Mawddwy where the pub serves really nice food and the local cafe is really cute with good cakes. Both are really dog friendly. It is not far to the town to stock up and Barmouth is only half an hour if you want to go to the beach. I drove up with friends and walked Rhinog Fawr and then my daughters and I did Snowdon. Fabulous days!! We had mixed weather so we were able to sit outside on the new bench and soak up the peace and the view over a glass of wine or a cuppa. The garden is enclosed which made it really relaxing with the dog but the Chalet is most definitely on the MACH loop which we loved but our sound sensitive dog wasn’t too impressed. The MACH loop is definitely worth a visit. We timed it perfectly. So cool. We explored a little bit locally but unfortunately didn’t do any proper local walks. Next time! Beth answered all of my questions before we went and was very nice and friendly so we got a relaxed and lovely warm feeling even before we arrived. As a family we needed a break, some quality time together and some time out from life which is exactly what we got on our holiday to Wales. Thank you Beth. I would definitely recommend and would like to come back to explore some more. Kindest regards, The Lake Ladies x

  I'll start with " I Didn’t want to leave !! " It’s such a pleasure to leave a review for Enlli lodge with its beautiful surrounding’s. Ok, Where do I start! From the minute I drove into the lodge with my wife and dog, I knew I would love it! Was a really dark, cold night we got there, seeing the lodge lit up was very inviting. Closing the gate and letting my dog run around in a safe enclosed environment made myself and dog happy. Opening up the lodge to a lovely, warm spacious lodge made me smile. It was all very clean, tidy and presented very well and made me feel like at home straightaway. Had everything you need there to enjoy the stay with a nice touch of some local produce left for us to enjoy. Topping off the stay at the lodge was the use of the hot tub, in which the owner was kind enough to pop around and show me how to use it! Getting in the hot tub relaxing at the evening and looking at the beautiful view you have on offer in the day time. I could go on and on about the lodge and stay, but it did say leave a short review! Ha. I couldn’t recommended Enlli lodge enough. We will be going back, again and again! Thank you.

  Wow, what an incredible place.

  We had such a wonderful peaceful holiday. It was our first with our rescue dogs and ty coed 63 was just perfect for us. The welcome packs for humans and dogs were a really lovely touch that makes it feel even more luxury. Plenty of room for 2 dogs and even has extra bowls in the cosy lodge. We also had the best nights sleep we've had in years in their comfy bed. Everything was in the lodge that you need/want and more. Really well thought out and the owners have done this place proud. Beautiful views that do not disappoint and walks straight from the doorstep. So many in fact you'd need more than a week to explore them all. We had the most wonderful week despite our usual wet welsh weather as the lodge was just so lovely. The local on site shop has all your staples for keeping you going and supermarkets just 10miles away. Again thank you so much for an incredible first holiday. Hopefully we will return at some point

  We stayed in July 24 for a week.

  Positives - the views - fantastic 180 degree views of the Snowdonia mountains from the lovely deck. Location is also brilliant for outdoor activities. The place has also been recently revamped very tastefully and to a high standard. They seem to have thought of everything. Extremely well equipped, comfortable and maintained living areas. Negatives - both bedrooms are small (one slightly larger than the other) the beds are therefore extremely cramped. As someone of average height (5'10"), my feet were against the end wall when at full stretch. The smaller room really isn't big enough for a double (bunks would work better) and the larger room needs the bed turned 90 degrees to give taller people room to stretch out. Luckily we were 2 people, but we ended up sleeping in separate rooms as it was too cramped to get a good night's sleep together. If it wasn't for this, I am sure we'd be back again.
