  The property is beautiful and very well renovated.

  Brilliantly equipped, with pretty much everything you could think of, plus lots of lovely little extras, which is a lovely touch by the owners. Cleaned to a good standard upon arrival. There were just a couple if things which we found would have personally benefited us. A wardrobe in all 4 bedrooms not just 2 of them A mirror in all 4 bedrooms not just 1 of them. A long mirror somewhere in the house. Plus a small bin in each bedroom would have made things easier for us too. Despite the chandeliers being beautiful, they were quite literally a pain, because the ceilings are already quite low (which of course we expect in a period property), but 2 of our party kept banging their heads on the chandeliers which hang very low from the already low ceilings. For the most part it was peaceful, but there are 2 dogs in cages near to the house who barked on and off throughout the day which was fine, but they barked for longer periods of time and, what seemed to be, louder throughout the night, disturbing everyone's sleep. It would have been good to have known before booking that to go anywhere, even for a walk from the property, you need to jump in the car first, as there is no footpaths or walking routes from the property. Everything needs to be driven to first, then go on beautiful walks in this stunning part of the world. The owners were very helpful when helping us to resolve a problem with the hottub, the gentleman had a lovely relaxed and patient manner on the phone whilst he talked us through what to do to fix the issue. The maintenance man who the owners sent round to look at the hottub the next day, was lovely! He was polite and nothing seemed to be a hassle. The views are fantastic, even outstanding, from this property. The closed off garden is a super touch, especially because we knew our little whoof had a safe place to run and play. The beds are supper comfortable and the equipment provided is of a high standard and the views are out of this world, so for these reasons we would return. Thank you for a much needed break from the rat race.

  What a wonderful stay!

  From the moment we opened the door to a lovely welcome pack and a warm & clean cottage with amazing views. Somuch space...from the Whiskey snug to a big open lounge and a lovely kitchen diner. We spent the days in Snowdonia outdoor swimming and the evenings cooking, eating, enjoying the evening views and playing games - TV with Netflix etc in lounge but we never switched it on! The bedrooms are all spacious and two big shared bathrooms and an extra downstairs shower off the utility room which has an amazing floor (I won't spoil the surprise!) All beautifully decorated and even toiletries supplied in case you forget to bring. Our week was so full that we only managed to use the hot tub once - great fun, particularly the lighting! The cottage is in a great location for travelling around Snowdonia - if you take the road left out of the cottage it takes you to the Blaenau Ffestiniog, Beddgelert (50 mins) or the coast. Some stunning drives. If you turn left out of the cottage you can drive to Bala Lake or round to Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig & Snowdon. For lake swimming the cottage was in a great location - we managed Llynau Mymbyr, Llyn Geririonydd, Llyn Gwynant, Llyn Dinas, Llyn Mwyngil and Llyn Padarn suring our week - The utility room at the house was great for washing & drying our swimming gear everyday. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Just a tiny recommendation - the Sat Nav address covers a few properties and initially took us to the first house after the bend. Might be good to mention the house is third turn on the right if coming from Bala opposite the public parking site on the road about 800m after the bend.

  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)

  Great location, wonderful accommodation with ample room for 3 adults and 3 small dogs.

  Beautiful large garden area with various areas to go and sit down in. Literally a 10 minute drive to seaside village of Barmouth with shops and a great fish and chop shop, The Mermaid. Lovely beaches nearby to walk the dogs and get some fresh sea air. The accommodation had everything you needed, with a well stocked kitchen with plenty of kitchen essentials, e.g. plates, pans, cutlery etc. The lounge and dining areas were clean and comfortable with a smart TV, log burner, comfy sofas and a large dining table. My only feedback on where improvements could be made to make our stay perfect would be to invest in some new bedding for all the three bedrooms. The bedding seems old and dated, although clean, e.g. duvets, duvet covers. The pillows in all the bedrooms could do with replacing as all of them were very thin and flat, at home I normally sleep with two pillows, I had to use five due to how thin they were. The same with the cushions in the lounge area, four cushions however, they were all flat as pancakes. Overall, lovely accommodation, great location and would stay again, but would bring my own pillows from home to ensure a good nights sleep.
