  Room for improvement: Note the cottage hasn’t got wifi or a washing machine.

  I didn’t notice when making the booking as I expected those to be basic facilities. Wifi would be crucial for younger people and those like us who need to stay in touch with work. We had unlimited data on our phones and the reception was fine so could use our phones and laptops. Staying there for a week or longer without wifi and a washing machine could be a problem. Finally arrival after 6 and leaving by 9AM is a bit much. The owners were happy to be flexible but you don’t know until the last minute. Positives: the location was great for us as it is in the middle of Snowdonia only a 5-‘min drive from Betws-y-Coed where you can find everything you need! The drive is on a single track road for the last 5 mins but doable. It is very quiet, quite far from other dwellings so if you ‘re looking for peace this is your place! The two-bedroom cottage is very ample with lots of room for the two or more. It was very clean and had everything you need really. I would get an electric kettle as the hob one takes ages and is not energy-efficient. Overall a good experience for us but with the little improvements mentioned here it could be perfect. Thanks.

  I had queries regarding the arrival time which I put to Sykes' representative.

  The representative said she would contact the owner with the queries and come back to us with a reply. However, she did not, but instead sent an email the next day saying they were not able to accommodate our request. In fact the owner of the cottage telephoned and let us know the change of arrival time was owing to longer cleaning times of the cottage because of Covid. She was helpful and let us arrive 1 1/2 hours earlier. The cottage was out in the mountains and countryside and it was difficult to arrive in the dark and find the cottage - if it had been later it would have been even more difficult. I am the carer for a disabled person and this was a difficult situation. Perhaps there should be a longer interval between guests to allow an earlier arrival time? The cottage was lovely and well equipped and comfortable for two people, even though quite small. The surrounding countryside was beautiful, with walks all around and in a very peaceful setting. It was a really relaxing stay and (apart from an earlier arrival time, which is due to the very difficult times we are in) everything was perfect.

  Every time my wife looked at the cottage from her PC she was inundated with emails - she will not be using Sykes again.

  As I booked the holiday from my PC I found that my personal calendar on my phone updated from yourselves with this holiday - obviously double booking the whole week. I found this insulting, patronising and completely unnecessary, as well as invading my personal diary - I shall have to look at permissions to ensure nobody else can do this. Consequently I shall not be using Sykes again. There are plenty of other companies who are better in a number of respects. We also found the website unhelpful in a number of ways. Not least all cottage descriptions could be fuller. However on the good side the cottage was lovely, very clean and the hosts friendly and helpful. A very quiet and picturesque location. Had a wonderful holiday. Pity the lead up to it was spoilt by the calendar issue and a mountain of unwanted emails.

  Had a lovely few nights at Seaview Terrace.

  The property is clean, modern, well maintained and had everything needed for a comfy stay. The bed and bedroom is a lovely, comfy and warm. The shower and bathroom is great. We thought the property could be improved with a small settee in the living room. It's well situated but, as others have mentioned, there is an issue with parking. It wasn't a problem for us as we could park for free in the council carpark a few mins walk away but could be an issue if you had mobility problems. Also, the owners are obviously having an issue with a bad smell, which was negated somewhat with 'Wiffaway' that needed to be running constantly. Again though, the lovely property more that made up for any inconvenience this caused us and shouldn't put anyone off from renting this lovely little home. Great stay, thank you.

  An amazing cottage away from the busy sounds & noise of any city; all you can hear is the farm animals.

  Great location for exploring around Snowdonia, although the farm was difficult to find at first (I think better instructions are needed for locating the farm when coming from the South). Owner was super friendly and even left a birthday cake - which was such a nice touch. Great communication with the owner throughout and I cannot speak highly enough about the Hot-Tub - this was such a welcomed pleasure after hiking the mountains. The cottage itself is really well setup, loads of space and very comfortable to stay in. Some of the doors can be a little noisy to close due them scrapping on the floor, but it adds to the character of the place. Would highly recommend this cottage - lovely stay, excellent owners and we would definitely look to stay there again if and when we return to Snowdonia.
