  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.

  We had an excellent stay at Hen Blas.

  Alan was really welcoming and helpful. He has done a great job in converting the flat, and it has a great feel to it. We loved the open plan, and it was very well equipped with wood burner, dishwasher/washing machine/drier and modern kitchen/fridge freezer and Wifi. Great position in the centre of Aberdaron. Warm and cosy with excellent central heating for a cold week. We wanted to mention a few things which we feel would help to improve it. Alan is aware we had a bit of an issue with the drainage from the shower, which happened throughout the week. It might need looking at. The toilet seat was loose, as were the kitchen taps. Just a few additions to kitchen equipment would make it even more home from home. A few basics were missing, such as- a large frying pan, cereal bowls, large mixing bowls, lemon squeezer, oven gloves, baking trays, hand blender and electric whisk. The roasting tin was rusty and old. We would have also liked to have more comfortable seating in the lounge area e.g.Two 2-seater soft fabric sofas, rather than the narrow leather chairs/sofa, as we didn't feel we could properly relax by the fire. Overall though the experience of staying there was very good, and we think these things would be simple to add. We come to Aberdaron every Easter, and would definitely want to stay there again with these few additions.

  This accommodation is not for anyone who enjoys comfort.

  Positives are that It is an open plan two bed with plenty of room and does allow pets. It is in the middle of the village so a great spot for the beach , shop and cafes. The ship and Ty neudd are right next door and Alun the host is a lovely man and can be got hold of easily as he is in the ship hotel (owns both properties). The Negatives are that the DVD was broken which on a rainy day (Aberdaron weather can fluctuate) is needed. Kitchen equipment is not great and the apartment required some maintenance. No information available on where to put rubbish etc, cleanliness could be better and there are two flights of concrete steps up to the property and no where to park outside which is not great when unloading the car (You do get a permit for the National Trust car park a short distance away). There is some noise early morning with deliveries and bins and weekends until late evening due to due to drinking in the ship next door. That said Aberdaron is a lovely spot and we have returned there for holiday for the past 5 years. Dogs are allowed on a section of the beach, the landscape is spectacular and Fisherman’s Cove and the Lookout are worth a visit. Truly a lovely spot for relaxation.

  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 area & location are fantastic 10/10 but unfortunately there are some maintenance works needed to bring the place upto an acceptable standard.

  Loose fitted taps made it difficult to use them, washing machine leaks massively on use & floods the apartment, paint peeling of walls due to damp in bedroom & bathroom, shower tray holds water & needed plunger on each use, outside lighting not working & is almost impossible to see when leaving & entering the place causing me to trip on the 2 steps next to the entrance door resulting in a sprained ankle, someone else living in an adjoining room only separated by a locked door with no keyhole cover & is able to see into our apartment during our stay, ironing board supplied but not usable, living area windows locked & unable to open them. We did mention to the owner at the ship hotel but he was unable to sort anything due to it being easyer bank holiday weekend & was also offered an extra nights stay & free meal on the day we we're due to leave but we'd already packed & loaded the car & to be honest wouldn't have stayed anyway with the things listed above. This place could be a fantastic place with some easy maintenance done but it did ruin it for us when we stayed.
