  I do not recommend Capel Bethania.

  The property appears good at first glance but it was in reality it was in a completely unacceptable state. The property is filthy with black mould overgrowth, dead spiders, cobwebs, dirty tissues behind the beds, dirty kitchen drawers and utensils, grime in laundry area, very poor drainage in the shower. These are just a few of the issues. There were not spoons, forks or knives and we ended up having to drive at night to get these from the supermarket. We tried to call Sykes cottages but they were not available on the day of our arrival. The general information file at the property had an emergency number for another cottage company. We called thus company immediately after trying Sykes first. The other company answered our call and were very willing to help but since the property is not longer listed with them, Sykes was our only option for resolution. We eventually got through to Sykes the next day and they offered to send someone to attend the issue with the shower drainage. It was our last day, so their was really no point. The black mould has resulted in several members of family becoming poorly and having to visit the hospital. We tried get other accommodation but there was nothing available over the busy Christmas period. Sykes cottages has not been responding to our emails and we feel that the public should be warned not to trust their reviews. Please research other complaints of a similar nature against Sykes cottages to prevent your holiday from being ruined.

  Capel bethania where to start.

  We were unable to travel on the first day of our holiday due to the really bad weather so was a day late.on arrival the property was freezing cold no heating on . Above the bifold doors in the main living area was a large gap ,water was constant dripping through causing large puddles on the floor also the draughts coming through was quite bad,no curtains or blinds.The main bedroom was pretty much the same.The beds were cold and felt damp.The heating did come on while we were trying to ring Sykes we looked around and some radiators were turned off.The utility room was a disgrace .hoovers ,mop buckets bags ,boxed etc just thrown into a heap in a corner.waited nearly 4hrs for Sykes to come and sort it out.we sat there all the time with our coats on the heating didn’t seem to be having any effect.As we are both elderly we decided there was no way we could stay there it was too cold and we couldn’t use the beds so we left and came home.apparently the engineer did call into the property and fixed the problems(really).we never got a call asking where we where.so Sykes say no compensation.we wish we had never seen the place this has been the worst property we have ever stayed in (or not)

  Llecyn is a lovely house and perfect to get away from it all. The rooms are very comfy, the kitchen is very well equipped and the lounges are roomy and comfortable. The snooker room is excellent and the table is good. Hot tub is also nice. The location is ideal. 8 minutes into Aberdaron. the beech is sandy and large when the tide is out and the cliff walks from the beech are very nice (lots of up and down the cliffs). The Gwesty Tŷ Newydd does good food and good beer and has a terrace looking over the beech, 1st come basis for seats and dogs allowed on the terrace and the front room. Hells Mouth is also well worth a visit, park in Porth Neigwl car park and an easy 5 minute walk down to the beech. The Sun pub (Robinsons) in Llanengan is also well worth a visit on the way back... roads are narrow though. The Rivals (Yr Eifl) is a good challenging walk, we did it in the fog and rain so didn't get the views but still nice, some steep sections and minor scrambles. All in all a very good place to relax walk swim and explore this part of wales.

  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!

  House is fully equipped so you can just turn up with the bare minimum. If you don't want to load the car with everything or coming from abroad, it's great. Not just enough beds for 10 people but big enough living area too with 2 of nearly everything. 2 living rooms, full size bathrooms, washing machines, dryers, fridges, double cooker, airers and multiple amounts of crockery and cutlery. 2 hair dryers, huge hot tub and loads of land. Went for father in laws birthday and he was over the moon. Great villages around the area within a quick drive too. The house was spotless and there all the detail was there, Washing up liquid, clothes, sponges, washing tablets, bin bags, tea towels, bath towels, toilet roll, kitchen roll, tea, coffee, sugar, bread, milk, butter. Full size snooker table plus gas bbq and coal bbq too.
