Dog Friendly Apartments in Bangor

What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is beautifully sited and easily accessed from the A55, the Felinheli Flyover and the direct road into Caernarfon.

  The convenience of a large, well known supermarket and service station is brilliant as well as the easy access to the diverse and lovely shops around Caernarfon itself. The property is very comfortable and was warm and welcoming when we arrived which was much appreciated. The various local delicacies left in the kitchen were much enjoyed. As we were staying for 4 weeks - we were between house moves - it was a real treat to be able to relax in the Apartment and yet play with the dog in the garden. There was plenty of information available about visiting local and national treasures and it would be wonderful if more detailed provision of local dog walking/play areas, as well as play areas for children, could be included too. The kitchen was well equipped and instructions were very useful - thank you. I did advise the Cleaning Crew that the on/off switch on the oven seemed to be prone to non functioning when switching off - perhaps there is a knack to that. It was wonderful to be able to launder and dry clothes - thank you for this facility - a massive help. The utility room was well endowed with implements etc for looking after oneself including a vacuum cleaner which I did not want to use on the wooden floors and would have preferred to use a long handle broom. The weather was balmy and calm for most of the time that we were in residence but this last week of ice and freeze has illustrated that it might be prudent to have some gritting salt for the long sloping garden path down to the lower road and another for the sloping path and steep steps up to the top road. A couple of friends came over to have tea - and to check out the apartment - and they loved it - both wanting contact details so that they can refer their visiting family and friends to the location. All in all, thank you for a lovely, comfy, warm, easily accessed apartment which helped to make my 4 week stay very relaxing - especially as I was also recovery from bronchitis too! A great sojourn!

  Sykes Holiday Cottages has NO customer service.

  We asked for the twin beds to be made as a double and it wasn’t. There was NO way to contact them and the WhatsApp messages were answered by a computer. Why is there no human being to speak to? The internet site just went round in circles and no phone number was answered. Dreadful experience. The information book was out of date and there was no paper for visitors to add comments or recommendations. There were no leaflets or where to go and what to do as we have had in other rentals. There is no shaver point: no coffee pot of any kind: no kitchen scissors: no chairs in the bedroom so nowhere to put some clothes: no hooks. We saw comments on line with the same issues and they had not been rectified. Poor! The so called garden was just some very scrubby uncut grass. The TV needed rebooting every time we used it! The outside light at the back of the property was faulty and we had to waste time waiting for a maintenance man to come and fix it. It was permanently on and the thin blinds in the bedroom were useless. The response from the maintenance team was quick and very efficient. The car park needs clear labelling as this caused issues with 3 cars for the occupants of the penthouse flat. However, the location was good and an easy walk into Caernarfon for pubs and restaurants as well as Tescos just up the road. The flat is light and spacious but basically equipped.

  A lovely well equipped ground floor apartment, in a great location, but so many issues spoiled our week.

  The bedding and towels were great, bed comfortable but the overpowering stench of dog was truly dreadful. I even bought febreze to use on the sofa and carpets, to no avail. Someone had clearly allowed their dog access to the sofa and bedroom. It desperately needs a paint job, with marks everywhere and stains on the wall in the bedroom and on the ceiling and walls in the lounge presumably from the flat above. There were cobwebs everywhere. The bathroom fan wasn’t working and the shower tray was cracked, causing a dangerous sag in the centre. The bins outside on the drive were overflowing when we arrived. During the week we saw various people around, who in fact were maintenance for the owners. We learned that they were aware of all the issues and we were told they were going to be dealt with when the apartment was not booked. The dreadful smell was mentioned by the previous review, so they clearly know about that too. In the meantime people are clearly expected to put up with it. It’s a great shame, as the apartment should, and could, be lovely. It’s a great shame that people are booking and paying in good faith and also that notices in the property regarding the rules about pets are not adhered to!!

  A very comfortable and cosy basement apartment situated in the beautiful town of Penmaenmawr.

  The term 'basement' whilst technically located on the 'basement' floor is somewhat of a misnomer for this type of apartment, as it offers surprisingly high ceilings and the living space is very generous. Irene's attention to detail and decorating style is remarkable! The kitchen is very well-equipped, she truly has left no stone unturned, you would be hard pressed to find a host who thinks about things so meticulously. Pricing is competitive and although situated next to some building works, we did not feel it detracted from our stay. It is always a pleasure staying at Llys Madoc. The seaviews from the other flats within this beautiful building are phenomenal! Whilst the basement apartment is the jewel in the crown of the three apartments, however, you will not be disappointed with the other two as they provide unparalleled views of the Sea, but if you are after more facilities and a more comfortable all round experience, you would be hard pressed to find a better apartment which oozes as much character and warmth.

  We stayed at the Llys Madoc Basement Flat for 2 weeks in November.

  We found the flat well equipped and tidy; it has everything you would need or want. The flat was well laid out and heated superbly. The hosts (who live in the flat above) were very helpful and responsive, especially when some roadworks knocked the water off for a few hours. The flat is well located for easy/quick access to Penmaenmawr (.3 mile) and beach (.5 mile), and hikes up the hills in town, as well as being excellently located for other day trips. As mentioned there is noticeable road noise (primarily in the living room) from the A55 which is located to the back of the property. And as noted there are a few new properties being built along the road next to this property - but while there was some work going on it was not loud or disruptive. They are pet-friendly and the front entrance has 2 patio areas that are secure and safe for pets. Although the sofa could be a bit more comfy (you find yourself sinking a bit too much into the cushions), the bed was soft and comfortable.
