What our customers say about their holidays

  I was not impressed with Sykes at all as the listing stated pet friendly was not clear enough.

  They listed this as pet friendly then after we had made the booking it stated you cannot leave the pet unattended at any time which is crazy. I called to complain and asked for a refund which Sykes refused as I should have read this in terms and conditions. The lady was the least helpful person I have ever come across. I asked what I was supposed to do with my dog if we went into a nice restaurant. She had no answer. Something as important as should be listed on the advert and I feel it was a complete mis-sell. After we had made the booking the pet policy was clearly stated in my welcome email but by this point it was too late. The cottage and the owners were absolutely amazing and lovely people In such beautiful surroundings. They were very accommodating in our dilemma above. We had a great break and a great time in a lovely part of Wales. Not impressed with Sykes in the slightest mainly due to pet friendly policy not being clear enough. That aside no other issues with Sykes. The above is no reflection on the owners and we had an amazing break but would advise to read the pet friendly terms on any listing before booking with Sykes.

  This property was fantastic.

  A nice peaceful village in Anglesey with the cottage easily accessible but just enough off the beaten track to have lovely peaceful surroundings and views of the mountains from the windows. The cottage had two upstairs bedrooms one leading on from the other and was perfect for the three of us (two adults and a 3 year old) but would have been great for a couple or small family. The stairs were steeper than normal house stairs but a safety gate was provided for the top and it was no issue for us at all. A main lounge with TV and a separate dining room meant plenty of space and the kitchen was perfect for what we needed. As the listing says no true oven but there was a combination microwave and full gas hob and full sized fridge so we were absolutely fine for a week. The owners are lovely, very welcoming and friendly, they live on site in a separate house so were there if needed but unobtrusive the rest of the time. The whole property and grounds are lovely, a good size outside space with table and chairs, comfy beds inside, a fire if needed. We would go back next week if possible! Loved it!

  The location is truly ideal, with the beach, shops, and restaurants all within a pleasant walking distance.

  This aspect certainly made our daily outings enjoyable and hassle-free. However, upon entering the cottage, we were immediately struck by a very strong smell reminiscent of a wet dog. Unfortunately, this odour was pervasive enough that we felt compelled to purchase air fresheners to mitigate it. The cleanliness of the cottage left much to be desired, as we noticed spiders and webs in nearly every corner of each room. The bathroom presented its own set of issues, notably dampness and visible mould. These conditions were particularly concerning as they exacerbated breathing problems for an asthma sufferer. Despite reaching out to Sykes Cottages about the dampness and general condition of the property, our message went unanswered. In summary, while the cottage's location is undeniably fantastic, the state of cleanliness and maintenance was disappointing and marred what could have been a much more enjoyable stay.

  This property was in a very central location so ideal for exploring Anglesey, everywhere we went seemed to be about a 20 minute drive away!

  It was very light, clean and airy and was ideal for the 2 of us for our 3 night stay. It was very well equipped, and spacious apart from the kitchen but thankfully we had seen that from other reviews. There is no proper cooker, just a 2 ring hob which is in the cupboard and a combi microwave so it was a bit of a struggle juggling everything to cook a meal. The images on the website aren't up to date as there is now a wooden kitchen trolley which was extremally useful, as well as a plate rack on the wall. It was a pity there was no freezer but again we knew this before we stayed, there was just an ice box in the fridge which never really got cold. The property is very private, we did occasionally hear the owners but never saw them which was actually a bit odd! We appreciated the jug of milk in the fridge and lovely chocolate cakes left for us! We would certainly stay there again for another short break.

  The cottage was in a lovely location and we had a great holiday.

  We didn't get to use the back garden but it was a great private area that would be fantastic in the summer. The off road parking was much appreciated. It was absolutely filthy behind the bed but otherwise the rest of the cottage was very clean. I dropped something down the back of the bed and in retrieving it I was disgusted (which isn't like me because I am quite relaxed about cleanliness). The cottage was warm and comfortable. The lack of cutlery and crockery was annoying as it meant that we couldn't use the dishwasher - e.g. 2 bowls and 2 large plates, 4 knives and 4 forks is not enough for self catering. We had to wash up after meals so we had enough crockery and cutlery for the next meal - this was a major annoyance. It would also be good to have a towel rail for the towels in the bathroom. The owner should also know that the shower cubicle leaks quite significantly.
