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.

  We had a lovely warm welcome from the owners together with a lovely selection of Welsh goodies.

  The apartment was spotless and the beds were extremely comfortable. We were very lucky with the weather and had a bit of a September heatwave. It was lovely to sit on the decking and watch the sunset over the Menai Straits. The view will be even better next year as the owners advise that they have permission to cut back the huge conifer in next door’s garden. We both love Caernarfon and Preswylfa apartment is situated very conveniently for a quick walk down to Morrison’s for groceries. It is a pleasant walk into the main part of Caernarfon with its selection of independent shops, restaurants and cafes and of course the magnificent castle. You must sit outside The Anglesey Arms and watch the sunset. Lovely spot to watch all the seabirds wading for food once the tide goes out. We will definitely be back.

  The location is stunning and has great beach access.

  Fantastic views! The flat had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and was very clean. The bathroom is modern and was very clean. Plenty of towels. The roof in the living room leaked when it rained not only during the storm. The carpet in the dining area is in need of cleaning/replacing The hot tub was great especially at night with clear skies. Temperature was controlled by the owner and it was on the cool side. Both the double mattresses are in need of replacing. It was lovely to hear the sea at night when going to sleep and on waking! The steps up to the flat can be slippy when wet and need grip plates on them. We had a great time with local walks and time on the beach/painting from the patio. Caernarfon airport is great for lunch or coffee. Airport museum good to!

  Property was in a lovely position and very clean.

  We did find the bed very uncomfortable and as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis this was a problem. It may be because most of the cottages we rent no longer have a divan with a sprung mattress but wooden frames and deep mattresses. Every time one of us moved the other felt it and that spoilt our sleep. We could not open a window in either the lounge or bedroom as they had been painted over and so it was very stuffy especially at night. The kitchen cupboards were also an issue for someone who is only five feet. My six foot six husband had to open them every time I needed something as the handles were too high and they were too stiff. Overall it was a good property and I would recommend it but we are back to our Devon barn conversion next year as it is much more suitable for me.
