  Chosen because of location to Welsh Highland Railway & stand alone shower.

  Also walking distance to local Tesco for supplies & town centre. No hot water on arrival (we arrived late evening). Was eventually sorted out next day but not without me having to chase up Skye on (only) one phone number available. Previous occupiers had switched boiler off as per instructions in flat accommodation. Service man told us to keep it on (??). Spent first one hour and next day 1 hour cleaning (Dyson in flat smelt disgusting when used so had to open up all doors! & stopped using it). On leaving we explained to cleaner, who we met perchance. She knew aoubt Dyson & showed us her own hoover she uses! TV wouldn't work - so rebooted. Remote slow so bought replacement batteries. Clock on kitchen wall stopped so bought new batteries. Extractor fan in shower filthy & hazard - blowing out more bacteria than extracting! Fitted bedsheet too small for bed & kept coming off- so bought new flat bedsheet extra large. No blankets & cold at night so bought some cheap blankets. Sofa was very uncomfortable - lean back to watch super large tv. Couldn't use coffee table to put drinks on, as table top moves(!) leading to potential spills. Kitchen worktop space was very limited. V.difficult to even organise microwave meals. Dinner table was at least functional. No luggage racks & indeed no small tables, sideboards, no shelves in bathroom to put our toiletries & bags etc. Living off floor for a week! Was glad to leave.

  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 The information book was out of date and there was no paper for visitors to add comments or recommendations.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 wonderful stay at No2 Cysgod Y Capel.

  What a view! The apartment was much bigger than we thought and had everything you could think of to make a wonderful stay. It smelled lovely, fresh and clean on arrival. Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome gift, they all went down a treat and honestly a pint of milk makes me so happy after a long journey, so to make a cuppa was heaven. We are familiar with Benllech, so knew the location was perfect for our young family and love of the beach. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything and more and our boys loved the HUGE bath tub! After a long day at the beach it was perfect. The little garden space was ideal to dry off our sandy beach things, so we didn't have to bring them into the house- (also a little sun trap) We had breakfast at the Island Cove Cafe, which was absolutely delicious! Obviously we had Fish and Chips from Finneys across from the apartments, as always amazing. We had a trip to Beaumaris to crab and visit our favourite shop there, The Spirit of Anglesey! We also visited the Mountain Zoo at Rhos-on-Sea, which we would highly recommend it was brilliant with stunning gardens. The real showstopper is the beach- we love it! The worst part was when we had to leave. We will be back again. Thank you

  We just went for this Easter bank holiday weekend.

  The cottage is located in centre of Anglesey and it was convenient to go around all the places with just 20-30mins drive including Llanberis mount Snowdon railway station. Also located in a beautiful place, quite calm, nature view (Sun set just behind). This cottage also provided a small private garden where you can sit and enjoy the evening sun set or have dinner outside. Also there is common deck with a small hut near a pond where you can relax. Cottage itself was well maintained, very neat and pretty much brand new. All necessary facilities have been provided - kitchen/toiletries etc. Nice space to park the car right front of the cottage. Most important landlord is very helpful. We arrived late night and they provided some fresh groceries for us to have it for the morning breakfast. They gave us good guidance about local places (must see), nice places to eat and help anything needed. I had been to several cottages in UK, this one was very good and I would personally go there again. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody if you are visiting north Wales and would like to see lot of places at the same time enjoy relax environment at the cottage.

  Accommodation described as a cottage, it's not.

  It's more accurately described as an apartment, within a large converted farm building. Yes the term ground floor is used but nowhere does it say there's another apartment above you. The photograph in the description shows the front of the building - the entrance door to Llain Mai is down the side of the building, out of sight, to the right of the view in the photo. Through no fault of their own, we could hear every movement our fellow holiday makers made. Even conversation, though muted, was audible. Laminated flooring transmits every slightest noise. From a walk to the loo at ten past five in the morning to a daily exercise routine (?). Ablutions also. The boiler for the entire building is located within our space. It seemed that every time a tap was turned on somewhere in the building, the boiler erupted into life. Summarising, the place is spotlessly clean, beautiful bathroom, useful kitchen and superbly located - but I'm afraid we would prefer not to stay there again.
