  We did not stay at this property.

  The area is unpleasant and very run down. The whole property was filthy with dust, grime and cobwebs. Furniture is tatty and paintwork needs redoing. Patio doors could not be used and there were no other windows to open downstairs meaning it was stifling. The layout was very unusual and I felt very claustrophobic. The door to the back of the property was extremely dirty and the steps outside leading up to a very unusable 'roof garden' were covered in moss, winter leaves and rubbish. It was a disgrace and obviously hadn't seen a clean for months. The owner said it would have taken 2 minutes to brush. Not the case. I was so upset and just couldn't have stayed there a moment longer. There is a dog next door that also barked constantly. The owner did offer to come and clean, bring a TV for the bedroom and brush the leaves but nothing could have rectified our feelings about this property. Sykes have advertised and misrepresented this property completely and it should not he allowed This cost a lot of money for 3 nights and I will never book with sykes again. Both the owner and sykes have refused to refund or compensate in any way even though photographic evidence has been provided. I've had to ring sykes several times as they have not replied or returned calls when promised. They do not want to know and I feel so strongly about how others should be warned. I will be taking this further. Avoid this place at all costs

  We had a wonderful holiday at Aster Cottage, the perfect home from home to explore North Wales.

  The cottage is in a fantastic location with stunning views or the coast and Snowdonia National Park, I’ll miss waking up to those views! We had a nice message from Sophie, the owner, on arrival. The kitchen was very well equipped, as was the living room with comfy sofas and large tv. The stairs were very steep, but there was a stair gate to put at the top for our toddler so we managed fine. The free standing bath is fab, although a bit slower to get ready with no shower. We ran out of gas a couple of times, which meant no heating, hot water or ability to cook whilst it was getting sorted, but Sophie was very quick and accommodating and replaced it as quickly as possible, even on a Sunday when there were few places open to buy new gas canisters. The village of Dyserth is lovely and has a beautiful waterfall within short walking distance - a must see. We had a toddler with us who was a bit under the weather so did less walking than we’d have liked, but had lovely family days out with our dog exploring the village, at Llandudno, Prestatyn beach front, Bodnant Gardens, and a trip to Llanberis to do the Lake Railway. Small note that many things in the area are closed in February, which we knew and planned for. It was nice a quiet! Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day!

  We had a wonderful stay at Aster cottage.

  The cottage is situated in a beautiful village with fabulous views across to the coast. The cottage is well appointed and relaxing - the only improvement would be a shower instead of just a bath with a hand held shower (although due to the layout of the cottage I understand that this is probably not possible) and the stairs are steep which may be useful to know for elderly people (and elderly dogs!) - there is a baby gate though which is helpful. The local area is stunning and we visited Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed which were beautiful. There is a pub (Y-Bodunig) 5 minutes walk away which was dog friendly and a 10 minute walk down to the waterfall where there are another two pubs. Just outside of the village is a gorgeous dog friendly pub in Cwm which is lovely with great food and within walking distance. We found Dyserth to be friendly and welcoming and the small lane where the cottage is situated is lovely and quaint. Parking is tight but this could just be down to me not being the best driver! All in all, a gorgeous cottage in a lovely relaxing area.

  We had a great week at the Stables, combining contract work locally with a few days tacked on for a break.

  It delivered for both. The location is stunning, set in its own little valley full of sheep, with a beautiful river running through it - incredibly peaceful and very green! The track up to the property is probably the best maintained rural driveway I have ever encountered. The house itself is very comfortable and has pretty much everything you could need, with everything working as it should. The beds are really comfortable, there's a wood-burning stove for extra cosiness and the kitchen is fully equipped. The WiFi was excellent. Greg and Marie are friendly and laid-back, careful to give you your own space but also very attentive and helpful when needed. There are plenty of pubs within easy reach, a village shop not far away and lots more a bit further away. We did day trips to Oswestry, Lake Vwrnwy, Pistyll Rhaedr Waterfall, Bala and Welshpool during our stay. Al in all, highly recommended. I have downgraded the accuracy score a bit because I feel the current photos really don't do the house or the surroundings justice!

  If you're looking for the perfect getaway Graig Las The Stables has it all.

  Having spent a thoroughly enjoyable week here, the views are amazing with abundance of wildlife. Lots of places to visit within an hours drive away, and unwinding in the garden with a glass of wine after a day out, just perfect! The cottage catered for all our needs, with most comfortable bed to ensure a good nights sleep. The owners Greg and Marie were very helpful throughout our stay giving recommendations of attractions to visit. They are very friendly without being intrusive. I would highly recommend this place to anyone for it's tranquility you will not be disappointed. We hope to return again sometime in the future. Thank you for sharing your lovely accommodation.
