  I would say that this cottage was adequate and a good place to sleep but that was about it!

  Starting with the positives, it was easy to find, directions were great and it is off a main road so no winding down roads for ages to get to it which is great after a long drive. The bed was also very comfortable! There was plenty of cups, plates etc. and having a fridge and facilities to make your own food was great (especially as there isn't any where within walking distance to eat). WiFi was good (and necessary as didn't have a phone signal at the house) Now onto the negatives... The whole house smelt of damp! It needs a really good airing. The people before us had clearly had the oil heaters on or the log burner but not aired the house properly as we could not shift the smell and it was embedded in the soft furnishings. The bathroom downstairs as well isn't the best. The shower has really low pressure and the angle is almost impossible to wash your hair and I am only 5ft 1 so you can imagine by husband struggled who is 6ft. We also found a bowl of rotting vegetables and salad in one of the kitchen draws which gave me reservations about how well the house was actually cleaned before we got there and promptly proceeded to anti-bac everything (with wipes i had brought myself). I also felt there was a lot of unnecessary "stuff" in the kitchen which with covid made me uneasy. Whilst it looked nice having a dresser with cups etc. and it was great to have plenty of cutlery etc. it really isn't necessary and I think they should strip things back to basics and then make sure they provide anti bac to wipe surfaces down etc. and it would make me feel more confident about the cleanliness of the house. The water also tasted funny which meant we went out to buy bottled water. I also think the TV could have been bigger and possible have DVD player or access to netflix. I also think the host could have been more organised with their welcome booklet offering advise on places to eat/drink/shop etc. I know you could argue that we could google it (which we did) but little things like that are what usually set the sykes cottages apart from staying in a hotel that you really feel well looked after! In summary if I had paid £60-£90 a night for this I would have been alright with the price but we paid £934.00 for 4 nights which frankly was a total rip off!

  I have had an enjoyable weeks stay in Cornhill Courtyard which is a studio apartment.

  The location of the apartment is superb. It is situated in the old historic area of Porthmadog Harbour and has a wonderful view straight out over the beautiful harbour which you couldn’t better! I also really liked the fact that the large main room is so light, bright and spacious. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were also fine. Once the sofa bed was up with the topper on top it was very comfortable . However, I did have some issues with the sofa bed. I was staying in the property on my own and as a 75-year-old woman with an arthritic hip, I did find it quite a struggle at times getting the bed up and putting it away. On one occasion the fabric loops got trapped inside and it then became impossible to get it out or put it up on my own. However the owner was extremely responsive and arranged within a couple of hours for the cleaning company to come and sort it out which they did. It needed two men to lift out the mattress extension in order to release the fabric flaps. I had felt concerned about the parking situation in August. However, in the event I was able to park right outside the apartment on three occasions and very close by on the other four days. From 4:30 pm onwards Porthmadog gradually quieten down and plenty of free parking then becomes available. Security of the property is very good as there is a padlocked gate into a small courtyard. Despite the issues with the sofa bed I am very glad I stayed in the property, as I had a very enjoyable weeks holiday. It was lovely to revisit Porthmadog, which I had visited a lot as a teenager and young person, when my parents had a caravan in the area.

  A lovely apartment, and well-located.

  However, although it appeared clean on the surface, it was in need of a little TLC. The sofa bed was dirty and smelled, we slept on that. The curtains were difficult to open/closed, and the privacy blinds didn't work well. The tiles in the bathroom/shower are in need of a good cleaning, and the pull cords were filthy, and quite unhygienic. There were plenty of cobwebs above head height around the apartment, and areas behind and underneath furniture were full of dust and hair. There was a lack of cleaning materials and products for us to maintain a high level whilst we were there. the outside furniture that you mentioned was old, rotten and broken. this is dangerous and needs to be replaced. However, the apartment was comfortable and the facilities were as advertised. we had a great time, but I believe that the owner should look at the poor cleaning delivered by an independent cleaning company. All of your properties we have stayed in previously have been well-cleaned by the owners and we have had no complaints on this level before. This was not the best holiday let we have had with you, but only down to the cleanliness and TLC it is lacking.

  We had a lovely time staying at Penrallt Fawr the cottage was perfect size for 2 adults, 2 children and a dog.

  The front garden is a nice size with an amazing view and safe and secure for the dog. The lane next to the cottage is quiet and it was a very peaceful stay. The cottage is quite isolated up the hill but still quite a few properties nearby. The rooms were all a nice size and it felt spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and whilst we didn’t use the range to cook on the addition of an airfryer and electric hot plate made cooking easy. We had plenty of hot water and the bathroom was a great size with a nice shower and big bath for the kids. WiFi was good too. Overall it was a lovely cosy cottage and a good central location to get to the places we wanted to visit. There was a Morrisons express quite close maybe 5 mins which was handy. My only one slight negative comment would be that was whilst the cottage was clean and tidy when checking we had all the kids toys it was a bit dusty behind the beds and furniture but just a minor point. We would definitely consider coming back here when we come to North Wales again.

  We had a lovely week's stay at Caer Rhos.

  Catrin, the owner, emailed me a copy of the guestbook before we came which gave full details of access, how heating/appliances worked etc., which was very useful. The cottage was very comfortable and had all the home appliances we could need. It is handily located close to Caernarfon and Anglesey as well as within reasonable drive times of quite a lot of the North Wales coastal and inland attractions. The wooden/tiled floors downstairs are ideal for the dogs, and there is a lovely public footpath a short stroll away to exercise them first thing in a morning. There is parking for 2 cars right in front of the cottage and, although quite a few people park along the lane we had no problems parking when we got back after our days out. The local Morrisons in Bontnewydd is only a short drive away and very well stocked for all your needs. My 2 friends, I and my 2 dogs had a very enjoyable stay and I would have no hesitation in booking again if we come to the area again.
