  We loved the house due to its location and view.

  The listing was accurate in terms of the decor - it does need quite a bit of updating. But because it was listed as such it did not concern us. The bathroom was clearly quite new and very well done. If the owners update the rest of the house to that standard then it will be lovely. The kitchen was okay, with everything required, but again needs updating. There were only two of us for this stay, and I would have thought this would be quite small for 6 people. If it were me I would punch through the two front bedrooms into one and have a large 'grand' bedroom with an amazing view. The smell of oil took some getting used to, but I guess that is normal for that kind of heating? There is plenty of parking - probably 3 or 4 cars in its own drive area, so no worries about that. The beach is a 30-second walk away and the pub is about 60 seconds (!). The pub has great food and is really worth a visit if you are not up for cooking. If you are a dog owner you can take your dog in. You are able to walk the coast paths north or south right from the house. All-in-all a relaxing stay, and exactly what we expected.

  I'd like to start by saying we had a brilliant holiday we used the cottage as a base to walk the coastal path.

  The cottage is is a beautiful location but on opening the door the first thing we where hit by was a terrible smell of dog. We boiled up some coffee grounds to help get rid of the smell. The quilt was awful very strained. I did take photos. We normally have our sleeping bags with us in the car but I'd taken them out for this trip. If we'd had them I would have used them instead. The sink was very strained and needed a good clean. Again I do have photos. The carpet has seen better days. When we came to use the vacuum cleaner it gave off really strong dog smells. At one point we woke up to find we had no water. The owner lived next door but didn't answer her phone. I know she was poorly but she could have talked to us on the phone.We went with out water for over two hours not very nice when your thirsty. This could be the most amazing place with a bit of updating and cleaning. I would rather have just emailed Sykes with the photos really but couldn't find an email address.

  Location, location, location.

  What a veiw from Delyn Aur. We found the bungalow very well equipped with kitchen ware although the units could do with being replaced. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the beds made up with lovely clean fresh bedding. The bathroom was great, especially the shower, looks like a new bathroom. The main living room was a disappointment as it obviously needed decorating and if you don't like moths then don't book this place, although we didn't leave any windows open, we continually had a high moth count every evening but only in the living room, maybe they were breeding in the wood panel ceiling but 20 moths a night was not pleasant. I think it needs treatment. The rest of the house was fine. It was great to have a basket of goodies on the table and milk in the fridge, that was a very welcome touch. The seating area at the back could do with a tidy up, I felt that the property just needed a bit more TLC.

  On arrival it was apparent that the property was in need of a makeover.

  Wallpaper was coming off in the hall and bedrooms. Floorboards very badly scuffed and in places loose. The beautiful new bathroom had black mould in the shower and the pedal bin was very grimy on top. The kitchen is very dated and in need of a deep clean. The oven was very dirty. Lots of chipped crockery and dirty spatula in the drawer. The central heating was very efficient. The settee still sported an ugly big stain (this was noted in a September review) no remedial action had been taken. We covered it with a throw so we could use it. The lounge curtains were ripped and about 40 years old by the pattern. On departure we stripped the double bed and discovered to our horror a badly stained mattress protector. At that point we ceased cleaning and departed. Not the standards we expect from a rental property. The location was perfect but the feeling of grubbiness never left us for the duration of our stay

  Have used SYKES COTTAGES before with no problem.

  This time BIG problems with key.You told us the key number 6821B in all correspondence even the week before we went there.Having travelled over 150 miles we got there tried the number in box positioned to the right of front window as instructed NO KEY in there.We tried to phone the two numbers given to us by yourselves but no answer.We kept ringing and leaving messages meanwhile getting increasingly worried about what we were going to do.We contacted our daughter who was trying to find somewhere for us to stay the night as we are in our late seventies and too tired to travel much further.EVENTUALLY we received a reply from the owners to say there was a new box left of window and number had been changed. Sara the owner said you had been informed of this but obviously had not passed the message on to us.NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED as not a good start to our holiday.
