  On arrival front of cottage scruffy with weeds, window boxes also dead with weeds!

  No welcome package, (1st time ever on Sykes cottage) the room seems over cluttered and no cupboard for our food we had bought. The tiny conservatory at the back was full of tiny flies and the manhole cover banged when going to back door! TV not working, no folder with details of how things worked within the cottage or where the washer was? the fridge is tiny with big freezer section above, if any problem, no phone number! had to call Sykes who where extremely helpful and contacted the owner. Who in turn tried to explain how to get the TV on! still struggling, finally sorted the following afternoon! Meaning, having to wait in the cottage, instead of going to the beach! One thing you really expect is Comfort, sad to say this was completely missing here, the sofa under the stairs, when I sat on it I felt like I was sitting on the floor! Really struggling to get up off this sofa, the second one near TV was so hard and when 2 people were sitting on it , you sunk towards the centre! and again uncomfortable. Checking under cushions this sofa is a sofa bed! The stairs are high and narrow step and steep, prayed the rope on the wall was strong! The double bed was hard as nails! was in agony morning after, at this time I wanted to go home!!! We ended up sleeping on top of the duvet! but still awful weeks sleep! Plus a huge box at bottom of bed (why, taking up a lot space! empty space under the bunk beds) The shower unit could do with a good bleaching! Criccieth is lovely and we had the best weather, but would not be rebooking Menuchah cottage, really spoilt our week’s holiday.

  Really enjoyed our time at Glynderi.

  It was really easy to find, instructions were perfect and we soon made ourselves at home. The living room was huge and had a lovely feel to it, a really well equipped kitchen that has every appliance you will ever need, that was perfect for breakfasts and family evening meals. Really good bathroom but could be more disabled friendly especially as it’s such a lovely bungalow. We loved the garden, a good size and well looked after, unfortunately it wasn’t fully enclosed as our dog got out a couple of times when the neighbourhood cat paid a visit, it really needs a small gate at the side. The area was very quiet and just a really restful place to visit, Cardigan bay is really close by and so easy to get to.. less than 10 minutes on one of the days, For our dog, we went to Poppit sands for its beach adventures and it was so easy to get to from here, Overall.. we really enjoyed our stay.. and would love to stay again if we go down this way again. Keep up the good work.

  We really enjoyed our week staying in Glynderi.

  The bungalow was very spacious, clean, comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The garden is large and private, lots of space for a dog to chase a ball or small children to play, and as we were so lucky with the weather we were able to eat all our meals outside, and enjoy the evening sun. Our one and only concern was that the garden is bordered by a dense hedge and fencing, but not enclosed as described. The path at the side of the property has no gate, therefore an adventurous dog (like our schnoodle), or small child could easily ‘escape’ to the front of the bungalow, and then to the road! We did manage to block the path with pots etc from the garden for our stay, but a small side gate would make the garden secure. Having said that, Glynderi provides perfect accommodation with easy access to beaches, historical sites, and some lovely woodland walks in this beautiful part of Wales. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

  We really enjoyed our time at Cove House.

  It was really well set out though I have already said to the owners that the one thing that made it not 100% was that you had to use one of the bedrooms to get to the sun room and garden. The road to access the bungalow are badly potholed but this is pointed out on the information in the description of the property and is no fault of the owners. I didn't read the information book provided and had to call the owners Si and Rach for help with the cooker hob! So save yourselves some time and read the info book that has all the info you need. I was hoping to book again but the dates I wanted had gone so I hope that shows what I think about Cove House.

  Hi we stay every year and love the cottage and location.

  I emailed last year and the end of the stay in 2019 to say that the cottages needed a good clean and were looking tired. The same applies this year. We rented Ty Oren and Ty Coch. The skirting boards are dirty and the cupboard under the stairs in both cottages were sandy, messy and had things under there so we couldn't use. Over the years the utensils have not been replaced and the cottages need new chopping boards, more utensils and pans etc. They need a really good clean, rugs etc Other wise a lovely complex and we have booked again but are really hoping for the price we pay that things have been updated, re-freshed and re-stocked. thanks
