  Lovely house but cleaning needs more attention to detail.

  The house was overall clean in the areas where it mattered however the skirting boards were particularly dusty in the en-suite bathroom. There was also cobwebs hanging from the ceiling in the downstairs bedroom and en-suite. Mould was present in the bottom of the en-suite shower. Rubbish was found under the bed in the large upstairs bedroom. An abundance of crumbs were found between the sofa cushions on both sofas. On arrival we couldn’t get into the property until around 4.30pm instead of the check in time of 3pm as a locksmith was present fixing an issue with the front door and he had been scheduled to arrive at 3pm. Not much of an issue as we didn’t arrive until 3:50pm however we wanted to drop our bags straight off and go back out to the supermarket which mean we did have to wait a bit before we could do so. I’d read reviews prior about the back doors being faulty and on arrival we could not even open the back doors as they had been closed incorrectly and we didn’t want to force them and break anything. When I messaged the owner to let her know they weren’t closed properly she gave me a call to advise it was because of the warm weather they’d experienced and the doors had dropped. The owner was lovely and arranged for someone to fix the doors on Monday. Someone came round whilst we were out and had gone before we got home which wasn’t an issue. We didn’t actually use the back doors as we were quite worried they wouldn’t shut and didn’t want to risk not being able to get them shut and locked with valuables in the property. The shower over the bath upstairs seemed to cause a small leak through the ceiling when using. I noticed splashes of water on the floor when putting something in the bin and looked up to find the ceiling was wet right after my sister had used the shower. We refrained from using the upstairs shower over the bath and used the shower in the en-suite to avoid further leaks. (I note a previous review stated the same issue and the owner replied it was user error and that the upstairs bathroom had been flooded however as a grown adult I can firmly state the shower over the bath was used correctly and the bathroom was not flooded on this occasion, no water was on the bathroom floor at all.) I admit this had not been reported to the owner at the time and that’s because we didn’t want a 3rd person to interrupt our stay at the property. Apologies for reporting this late however as I stated, it was not user error causing the leak. We bought a dvd to watch however the picture played and there was no sound. I didn’t contact the owner as I was unsure if the dvd was just faulty however the dvd has played fine now we’re at home. The tv is well equipped with free view and on demand services such as Netflix (if you have a subscription to log in with) and channel 4 on demand etc. so having not a dvd player wasn’t a problem. Free WiFi was great and there was no issues with the speed. I used my iPad to stream on an evening in bed and didn’t have an issue with playback. Signal at the property (and on the island as a whole) was really poor so the free wifi was definitely appreciated, thank you! Issues aside the property is really well equipped with plenty of crockery and utensils. There was also a hairdryer and iron provided. I brought my own towels however my sister used the towels provided and noted that the towels could be a little bigger as they’re a little too small for an adult to wrap around the body. The bed was very firm but comfortable. I couldn’t feel the springs in the mattress. It felt pretty solid at first but when I laid down it wasn’t uncomfortable but that depends on personal preference I suppose. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the property and it is in a quiet and convenient location within Anglesey. Although it seems like I’ve listed a lot of issues, most were minor and didn’t spoil our holiday. Thank you for providing the holiday let at a reasonable price. We would look to stay here again if we came back to Anglesey.

  A beautiful barn conversion in a beautiful location.

  We had an amazing break and our dogs loved the beautiful garden to run around in. On the clear evenings the star-gazing is amazing with almost no light pollution. Good facilities and we would have given this property and location a full 5 stars, but we have knocked 1 star off because there were some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. We have reported this to the property owners. The downstairs bathroom basin tap was extremely loose and the plug was stuck down which meant during the time of the break one of us could not use the basin. Other maintenance such as cooker hob/cupboard under lighting does not work. Not so much of issue normally, but this area of the kitchen is darker and you need the additional lighting to cook. Also, the bottom, larger oven, did not work. Please don't let this put you off booking, as we are sure the owners will fix these issues for the next visitors. This is a lovely property, large with lots of storage and beautiful views. The utility room is extremely handy, as it keeps very warm and so it's good for drying dog towels, walking boots, washing, etc. A good place to come in from dog walking as you can clean them off before entering the main house. Important to note that the garden is not enclosed. Although the access road is remote and quiet, the owners property is at the back and their dogs pop over to the property for a visit. Not a problem for us, but could be a problem for people who have dogs that are not so tolerant of other dogs. The location is great for exploring Pembrokeshire/Cardigan Bay. 15-20 minutes drive away is Newport Beach. It is a beautiful, sandy beach that is dog friendly. It has toilets and a shack on the beach that even sells dog friendly ice cream! Just a short walk up the road is the golf clubhouse and restaurant where dogs are also allowed and you can get food and drinks, etc. We had a great stay and would certainly recommend the property and location.

  Directions to property need to be corrected.

  Should say A497 to Morfa Nefyn, not A487. Also, the location of the owners' property for key collection is confusing; it says "opposite", but we took this as opposite the holiday property itself on the driveway (where there is a bungalow). They actually live on the opposite side of the road, so it would be better to say "opposite the fish and chip shop" The property is very spacious, comfortable, clean, well-maintained and well-equipped. The location is superb, within very easy reach of a wonderful coastal walk and a secluded beach and nice pub. Morfa Nefyn is also well placed centrally on the Llyn Peninsula, with easy access to larger towns and villages such as Pwllheli, Porthmadoc and Criccieth, as well as the more remote beaches and coastal areas of the western end of the peninsula The neighbouring fish and chip shop is not an issue. Noise levels are not great and it's only open for a limited time in the evenings and, when out of season, it's not open every night. The only negatives were: - - The lack of instructions on how to operate the various heating appliances; the owner gave us an extremely brief overview, so it was a case of working it out for ourselves - a quick 1-page "How To" guide would have been useful as it could also have included other information, e.g. bins/recyling arrangements, key handover on last day etc. - There was no visitor book. We have always found these to be useful for picking up tips and advice on the local area from previous visitors - No tourist information leaflets; again this can be useful when you're visiting the area for the first time. - A small welcome pack would be appreciated - such as milk, maybe some local produce etc.

  Just returned from a week stay at the house.

  Upon arrival I had to hoover the downstairs as it was not very clean. I did speak to the owner direct and waited for the cleaning company to return for me to discuss with them, however they didn’t arrive. The house generally needs a deep clean as there is dust and hair on skirting boards and the banisters. We had issues closing the back doors, which we spoke to the owners about and they promptly responded. The issue is worse during sunny days and we did struggle every time to close them. Front door is also a challenge at times. Main bedroom window sill was covered in bird excrement which was reported and they were waiting for the window cleaner to attend the following week. When staying make sure you bring additional supplies of bin bags (1 provided), toilet rolls (2 provided) and dishwasher tablets (3 provided). You will also need kitchen roll and foil. Location is quiet and excellent for the island and the beach. Parking isn’t an issue. There is a pub just down the road and a Tesco/Co Op a couple of miles away. We recommend the chippy at the back of Tesco Express.

  My family enjoyed a lovely week staying in this property.

  It was like a home from home. The property has everything at hand to cater for. It is very modern, bright, and clean. My family all enjoyed comfortable sleeping in the comfortable beds. The location of the property is very handy for travelling around the island. Turn right out of the property and it takes you straight to Benlech. Turn left and left again, and it's one straight road to Llangefni, and towards the A55. There is a nice Tandoori restaurant a short walk away, nine hole golf course, and a small pub at the end of the road. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely return. One item missing is a tumble dryer, but to be fair, the property is warm enough, there are two heated towel rails, and a handy clothes maiden, so not a big deal. Thank you to the property owners for allowing my family to stay, and Thank You to Sykes for making the booking so simple and straightforward. Will definitely be booking again soon. Mike
