  What a beautiful cottage!

  Was better than expected and beyond our expectations. The decor was so beautiful, cute and funky. Lovely colours and finishings. Hottub was one of the best we have had, water was super hot, jets really strong and various settings and lovely lights which you could change colours. Bed was very comfy. Lots of extra pillows. There was extra blankets (which we didn’t need). There was even a fan and hot water bottle in the cupboard. Literally all the extras you could think of and more. Kitchen was fab. Small but absolutely big enough. No shortage of cutlery or crockery. There was even lunch boxes which we used for our picnics. The coffee machine was amazing. It was a Sage. One of the best. Takes nesspresso pods. We took some with us but the owners even sent us some. I had so many coffees which were just delightful and such a lovely extra we didn’t expect :). Cooker and microwave were brilliant. Also the dishwasher was as great to. Hearing was very good. There were big modern radiators in ever room and the place got so cosy very quickly. Comfy sofa, again lots of pillows and blankets, foot stool, extra cosy touches. There were some books, games and DVDs, which we didn’t use but again a great extra and there if you needed. Tv was modern and big enough. Netflix to (have to use your own account) we watched films most evenings which was lovely after a long day of adventures and a relaxing dip in the tub. We don’t normally get time in our busy lives to be able to chill and relax and the evenings so it was just so nice. The shower was great, powerful and hot. LED heated mirror in the bathroom, large sink with storage. There were some toiletries there to, we didn’t really use any of our own. Again, lovely touch. The decor in the bedroom was so nice to, colourful an romantic. Plenty of storage space. Nice area by the boiler to put your shoes to and area to hang coats. There was even three dressing gowns which were a towel fabric, perfect for when using the hottub. As the radiators were so so warm when the heating was on we found out our pyjamas in there, get out the tub and put on our warm night clothes. Super lush. And location! Perfect. On our arrival a day and second day we walked from the cottage. One day we headed down the river and found some lovely waterfalls the next walk we went the other way and across the river through a forest and up the mountain. If you didn’t want to drive anywhere you could have a lovely walking holiday right from the cottage. Most of the great places to visit in north wales were all very close. Including betws y coed. The famous Yr Wyddfa (tallest peak in wales), and we also went to portmeirion. There is a small shop in the village to, and a pub which serves food on certain days and believe drinks most days. We didn’t visit but nice for us to let you know in this review. Other reviews mention damp. This is NOT the case. If it was it has been seen to. There are dehumidifiers in the property and the owners have made all efforts to prevent it. This is a very old property and it has lovely features teamed with modern quirky decor. It’s small but more than big enough for short or long stays. There are no issues in our opinion with damp or any of the amenities, fixtures and fittings. Oh and a lovely dimmer light in the living room. Cosy and romantic. Some reviews have mentioned the garden. There is a large lawn at the bottom that does need a cut, but why you would want to spend time on the lawn I don’t know. So not sure why ppl have complained about this. There is a lovely patio area. With rattan seating. I imagine in the summer we would have used this and spent time eating outside and sunbathing. The views from the property are lovely. There are cottages next door but not once did we feel like we were being overlooked. There is a good recycling system for rubbish. Bins with lables on inside so rig know where to put things. The bins outside were quite full. But this was due to bin day not occurring when we were there. And this was only paper/cardboard/glass/metal there was no food waste or anything unslightly outside and plenty of recycling/bins inside for a short stay. So not sure why I read a negative review about this either. The place is just fantastic. Value for money - well personally it was a bargain! There were no similar properties with hot tubs in good locations for this price. Shepard’s huts in people’s backyards cost more! So we really couldn’t believe how fabulous it was for the price. We even had a Welsh hamper sent to us on our stay to. The internet is also very fast and good and easy to sign on to. Highly recommend and we will 100% be coming back soon. Thank you x

  This was & is a fabulous place to stay.

  Such a great location, beautiful property & absolutely spotless, we have just had a week here & thoroughly enjoyed the break. However, there are a few points that need to be upgraded & actioned. I myself do not complain whilst I am actually there & comment later. I am aware that things could be rectified whilst there but I think it should have been top notch anyway. On previous occasions people have noted comments etc & things after haven't been improved & they definitely should be listened to, actioned & completed. Here are our notes & recommendations for immediate action necessary. No comeback to the on site cleaners at all, they definitely cleaned this accommodation thoroughly. The Owners & Holiday company should action these recommendations immediately. 1. On approach, Louper Weir should definitely be lit up, previously noted on many occasions & not actioned. 2. Light near door entrance as you can't see door key hole & step down into utility room. 3. New battery on dyson handheld as it doesn't charge any longer. 4. Dyson fan is useless, can I recommend Meaco fans, these are more efficient & effective. Previously noted & not actioned. 5. For such a top spec apartment the new luxury sofa is actually so very uncomfortable to sit on & relax. It is so soft & stupid shape. We have crooked our necks & backs trying to sit correctly & are going for osteopath treatment after now returning home. Again, previously noted & not actioned. 6. Having electric blackout blinds are a great touch, curtain furnishings are needed as there are people & cars around all the time & the blinds need to be closed to have privacy then this leaves you being in the dark all day. This has been noted on many occasions & not actioned. 7. The bed needs to be replaced to a divan & king size duvet to go with the bed & not a double on a king size. The pillows are terrible, this is where we have crooked necks from. So so uncomfortable & once again many people have commented & no action been taken at all 8. The dining table is actually outdoor furniture as I have these myself. However, the seats are so uncomfortable & definitely needs to be soft furnished chairs. Never used the Hot tub as it was too far from the property & badly lit. For such a top spec beautiful place these changes need to be made as it isn't cheap to stay. The cleaners seemed to be around all day but never came in to do anything, never met them until leaving, however it was spotless on arrival.

  When we first arrived, it was difficult to locate the bungalow.

  The road was very narrow, and there were vehicles parked in front preventing from seeing it. The guide was good, but a picture of the road approaching would be useful. The codes supplied for the key box and chain were both incorrect. Had to discover them ourselves. The cottage itself is very nice, as shown in the pictures. The entrance is into the small kitchen, Which is very nice. There is a Sage coffee machine, but no pods, and not knowing which pods we needed in advance meant we couldn't use it. The welcome book says there should be some provided as part of a welcome basket which was also missing. The living room is very cosy, and the window from the living room gives lovely views across the valley, You see some thing different every time you look out. However, this was spoiled as the window is dirty, and needs a good clean both inside and out. No welcome basket and no coffee pods etc which were mentioned in the welcome pack, and the welcome pack is jumbled and needs work too. The garden is a mess sorry to say, the lawn completely overgrown and unusable, and the patio has grass and weeds growing all over it (unlike the pictures). The hot tub was just amazing, in it everyday, Felt really relaxed every night The bedroom is just lovely, big, and well decorated and furnished. The bedroom is very cosy comfortable but used my own pillows, because I didn't like the ones supplied (they are quite bulky, and the mattress firm. Also, the bedroom door does not close properly. The bathroom is again nicely designed, but the toilet seat is broken and needs sorting. The shower is lovely loved using it, But again behind the glass door it's very dirty and looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a while and does not close properly. There is also No lock on bathroom door. The rubbish. The bin was full so couldn't put our rubbish in it, so had to leave it on top of the bin. You need to let people know when they stay there when the rubbish needs to be taken out and if anything is necessary like taking it down the road, and what dates. But really I just want to say I enjoyed my stay, It is a lovely bungalow Quiet, relaxing, comfortable, and lovely walks, lots of waterfalls and streams around. Definitely recommend this place. But I feel you need to get on top of cleaning and maintenance, especially in the bathroom, windows and back garden.

  Good points: Location is 2nd to none.

  Travelled all over the UK staying in similar types of property, lake windemere is up there with the best of them. The property is clean, had everything we needed for what we hoped would be a relaxing stay. The complaints about the fan are ridiculous, there is a tablet next to it with the Dyson app on it or you download it to your smart phone. Very reasonable price for what you get in return. Bad points: Arrived 15 minutes early to pick up the keys after a 7 hour drive up from the south east and was made to feel like we were asking for an extra day for free....... not a great start. Even offered to sit outside for 15 minutes. Get any ideas out of your head about being able to stay at the property and relax. The cleaner and hottub maintenance chap seem to be always at the property. There are lovely floor to ceiling electric blinds which when opened give you a fantastic view. Unfortunately we had to leave them closed to try and retain some privacy. My partner didnt really want to use the hottub as its checked every single day which seems ridiculous. She didnt want to be sat in there with some stranger just walking in. This is the only place we've stayed at in the UK with a hottub that has done this and seems obsessive. Likewise the cleaner seemed to be there every single day we were. This may not have been the case but again, its a self catering property, seems ridiculous that the cleaner is there so much. After the first night we were emailed and asked to give a "First night review" which I marked as adequate because of the privacy issues. I then had to email the office to tell them to leave us alone because we started getting phone calls and emails because of the adequate rating. Certainly won't be coming back to this property. Its not the first time we have used Sykes and had no issues at the last place we stayed at at all.

  Overall another good stay.

  Good location to retreat back too and nice views. Overall pictures shown are exactly what you get and this is our second stay here now. A few niggles that need addressing - frying pan severely burnt - couldn’t/ didn’t want to use it, needs replacing. - mould by front door needs addressing as I got some of it on my trousers when entering the building, obviously a damp issue near the window/door as water on windowsill as well. - 2 tiles in the entry porch are loose and need taking up and refixing. - cleaning store is right next to the property, so the cleaner was there, the hot tub people were there and the groundsman were there at various times in the morning which was a little annoying as it wasn’t discreet and ruined the atmosphere of the place most mornings. The people however very lovely and friendly but just the cars parked right outside, the backwards and forwards of the gates and level of noise was a pain point. Suggestions - we couldn’t use underfloor heating or more didn’t no how to perhaps better instructions for this one. - a parasol needed for hot tub area, can feel very overlooked but also a few days it was super sunny and would have been nice to sit and read a book up there. Thanks for a good stay.
