What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a great holiday in Llandudno staying here as a large group, ranging from aged 8 to over 80 years old.

  The house is clean and well decorated, with nice linen and towels, comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. It also has a cosy living room with a bright, well equipped kitchen. The games room and courtyard garden were really appreciated too. It was good having a space for the older children/teens to enjoy and the pool table and air hockey were popular. In the house, there are a few toys and games available for children. Having a few books for people to read was a nice touch as well. Not all the tv remotes in bedrooms worked but we were too busy getting out and about so it was not an issue. Parking on the same road and surrounding streets was easy to secure though it wasn’t always possible to get directly outside. The owners could be more reassuring in their response when asked about this ahead of arrival. In terms of accessibility for those with disabilities, the listing needs an update. The hoists have been removed and there isn’t a ground floor sleeping space. This room is now a pretty dining room. The ground floor accessible bathroom that is off the dining room has also been altered. It is a large open wet room shower without any supports in the shower area and no easy reach place to put toiletries. The floor can be quite slippery so you need to take care in that area in the absence of support. There are toilet rails which are helpful. The shower would benefit from some handrails, a non- slip mat, a shower seat or bench and a shelf/stand for toiletries. This would help those with restricted mobility or who are vulnerable to falls. The first floor shower tray is also slippery, so I would recommend use of a non-slip mat there too (not provided). All the bedrooms are now accessed by stairs, with a few stairs to and from the bathroom/loo used by those sleeping in first floor rooms. One member of our party was elderly and needs help to mobilise and another unfortunately had a broken leg. We could navigate stairs with crutches/adjustments and took our own shower seat thankfully, else it would have been a challenge to manage. Furniture would need to be moved in the front room to make that more accessible as the gap between sofas is small. Most houses we have stayed in provide a small welcome pack, with tea/coffee/sugar/milk to use on arrival to make a drink. Usually there is a snack too (biscuits or cake). This time, there wasn’t anything for us but the local shops and M&S with a food hall and Asda are very close by so we managed to get sorted quickly. The personal touch is missing for the welcome to this house but the location, space and general amenities were great. With support from family, we were able to adapt to accommodate the needs of our party and make the best of the house. We would definitely return with knowledge of how to safely make adjustments for those who need help.

  No WiFi connection had to buy 02 sim card to be able to use mobile.

  We had to take daughter in law to hospital and had no way of ringing the hospital. Caused us real issues as we couldn't keep in touch with family. The metal cannisters in cupboard had mouldy coffee and sticky sugar in them obviously not checked as tea bags left were dated 2020! The fridge was too small for a family couldn't get all baby milk and food in it. We are a family which cook and eat together so important. Had to buy camping fridge and use ice packs to help. A large freezer in utility doesn't compensate for a small fridge, the owners response was they'd had no complaints in 4 years rather than take on board our issues. Woodlice and cockroaches in property which wasn't nice especially with 2 young children. We chose property for family holiday as there were 4 adults and 2 young children. Bedrooms were good size, parking 2 cars side by side outside was tricky because sloping drive with steps so we had to park in front of each other. Its a shame owners didn't want to know you as it helps address issues directly, believe in honest approach. Dolwen farm shop nearby which also has holiday lets, spoke to one of the owners face to face and they were very helpful. Plan to visit area again as lovely. This was an expensive week with it being in school holidays so you expect better. As long as you are aware of these issues you then can adapt to situation, we bought camping fridge, vacuumed daily where cockroaches were and parked cars safely. Can't fault the views and location. Would come back to the area.

  Beautiful house in a stunning location with views all around.

  All rooms are decoarted in a lovely comfortable homely way. Really well equipped kitchen and lovely large dining room. Lovely large utility room with all equipment you need. Garden is a lovely large space and well closed off for dogs. The location is great - Only a short drive to beaches, shops and restaurants, but nowhere within walking distance. No pavements around the house either, if you walk anywhere it’s on the roads but they aren’t busy. Also very well positioned to visit snowdon, Angelsey, Betws-y-coed, Conwy and much much more.. We had a great stay at this house. My only minor negative points are that the freezer wasn’t clean and the sofas in the main living room are quite uncomfortable especially after a long day out. There are beds for 7 but only seats in the living room for 5? (We only had 5 in our family so it didn’t matter to us) There are 2 additional sofas in the dining room though! Over all, I would recommend this house. This was our second stay here. The location is fab and the setting is beautiful as is the house. Just be aware that you will have to drive everywhere.

  Beautiful house in a fabulous setting but I feel it's been neglected while closed for Covid.

  Property was very damp in places, which meant wood lice were rife in every room. Air fresheners and the smell of fresh paint initially hid this on arrival but mould on the light fittings and the walls inside kitchen cupboards along with dried goods in the cupboards being solid were all evidence of damp. Showers were in need of a good clean to remove the mould and the main bathroom window was broken so didn't open. Crockery and towels were also very well used and in need of replacing. If you're planning to use the kitchen then take extra tea towels and hand towels as only one of each was provided. Throws on the sofas were dirty as was one of the sofas and there was a large stain on one bedroom carpet. All things easily remedied and if done so this will be a fabulous property to stay at. It just needs some TLC right now. All in all a disappointing stay as couldn't contact Sykes to discuss whilst there either.

  This is a great house for a family gathering.

  The property is really well located, no need to use the car for Asda or M&S. The railway station is at the end of the street and you are in the centre of town in 5 minutes. Despite that the street is quiet and we had no problems with parking. The property is a large period terrace which is tastefully and freshly decorated, and comfortable. The kitchen is roomy and well equipped with a small fridge plus a large American style fridge freezer which was great for a big family. The games room is smart and cosy with a decent smart tv and pool table. The lounge has a similar large tv and plenty couches and there is a good sized dining room. High quality duvets and pillows are a welcome touch. There are enough bathrooms for everyone and lots of storage for shoes and coats in the hall. This is a stylish, well thought out property and the location could not be better.
