  Overall very happy with our stay, the house & fittings were mostly very good especially the equipment & facilities in the kitchen, great for our large family.

  We appreciated the kind gesture of fizz & cake etc, many thanks! However, on arrival we were very disappointed to see the grass so long, it obviously hadn’t been cut for several weeks. The outside shower was flooded & blocked by leaves, definitely hadn’t been checked for some time. This would have been useful to clean sandy boots etc after our beach trips. (Thank you for organising the cleanup of this area the day before we left) The windows are in need of a good clean & these issues spoiled our first impressions of the house. Inside - It was disappointing to see a broken blind in one of the bathrooms & the toilet seat in the main en-suite was worn with bare wood & we felt it unhygienic. It would also be useful to have a mirror in the master bedroom for hair drying. The other bedrooms were well fitted. We were very happy with the overall comfort of the house & the location was excellent. We enjoyed a lovely week in the house & in Abersoch. All of the above concerns were shared with Sykes Cottages office on Monday morning. Emma was very helpful & noted our comments- thank you.

  The Coach House is an absolutely wonderful property - we loved everything about it, and the whole family enjoyed the experience.

  The proximity to the High Street meant that my elderly in-laws could have their independence for a wander, and the proximity to the beach meant that I could get to see the sunrise within 5 minutes of getting out of bed! My only 'not so positive' comment would be the instructions around cleaning - there is an inference that the guests are expected to clean the house (I wonder whether this is a throw back to Covid) as the cleaner will only do a 'light clean'; whilst I always leave a holiday property tidy (emptying bins and stripping beds, wiping down the kitchen worktops), it did sound like I was supposed to do a 'thorough' clean ... which I do consider comes as part of the cost of the holiday. It may just need a tweak to the wording ... or may be I'm being too sensitive! We loved it, and if we ever win the lottery, we'll be putting in an offer to buy it!

  Loved the location of Castell, it really was a very short walk to ther beach.

  This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture (Sofa) was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!

  The property is very large and was able to comfortably accommodate our party of 11.

  Moreover, the rural situation of the property means it is very quiet. There is ample parking. The property is a 10 minute drive from Caernaefon and we found it to be an excellent base from which to explore Snowdonia and north Wales. The owner, Barbara is very friendly and we visited the Piggery Pottery on a rainy day. The pottery was a big hit with the children. One point for improvement would around general wear and tear of the property. The bedding and pillows around the property appear to be well used and dated. A small investment to buy new ones would improve the quality of stay. Moreover, although everything is in working order, the property would likely benefit from a general update and refresh esp. in the kitchen. Overall we had a pleasant experience and the property was good value for money.

  This is a very beautiful house in a magnificent setting.

  We had a fabulous celebratory 60th birthday for my husband. It enabled family and friends to meet together and enjoy everything that North Wales had to offer. We were near enough for many of the attractions such as walking up Snowden (or going by train) as well as the longest, fastest zip wire in the world. A local hotel facilitated our desire (as non-residents) to use their pool. We enjoyed many walks in the area as well as visiting Caernarfon Castle; Conwy Castle and Bodnant Gardens which were stunning. Barbara was very accommodating and nothing would have been too much trouble - she responded quickly to our requirements. We especially loved the garden which had a stunning view. The house was comfortable for our needs with plenty of hot water available for everyone.
