What our customers say about their holidays

  Gorwel is a gem of a place which was perfect for our multigenerational group celebrating a family birthday.

  The location is wonderful - it feels secluded and quiet yet is minutes from facilities and has a sea view. (sitting in the main bedroom with morning coffee was a treat!) There was ample space, more than the description suggests with 2 'secret' indoor sitting areas as well as an enormous and comfortable main lounge, not to mention the playroom which sadly we didn't really need though younger visitors would love. The bedrooms were bright and modern with very comfortable beds and great bedding. The many bathrooms were clearly newly done to a high standard, fantastic powerful showers. The kitchen set up is brilliant and it was really easy to cater for a large group, we especially loved the large table. Outdoors the huge garden has a more rustic and wild feel and is fantastic for watching birds, rabbits and even red squirrels. As per the description, care must be taken as it has a number of steps and is uneven in places, we were vigilant about the older members of our party and would say that younger children would need supervision too. There is a large table but no BBQ though the owner was happy for us to take our own after contacting them via the website. The owners were very quick to respond and sorted out access to the EV charger at my convenience which was a real bonus feature. I would love to return to Gorwel again.

  After reading some of the recent feedback regarding this property we approached our Christmas break with some trepidation.

  The negative comments were totally uncalled for and unfounded. On arrival to the property we were greeted with a beautifully laid out Christmas Hamper and the property was very tastefully decorated for Christmas. This property is stunning. It is in the most amazing location with easy access to both the village and the coastal path. The interior is well thought out and very spacious and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Yes, the sofa back was quite low for my 6 foot husband and the front door does need slamming hard but these are very minor details. We experienced a very dramatic storm during our stay and had to use a bungee cord on the main gate to keep it closed but the view of the lightening over the sea more than made up for it. The property was very warm, clean and extremely comfortable. A massive bonus for us, travelling with two Pekingese show dogs, was the outside shower with warm water which enabled us to keep the dogs very clean after our long walks. I have already recommended this property to a number of friends and colleagues and would like to thank the owners for allowing us to spend a wonderful Christmas in their beautiful home.

  We booked this property last minute as a long weekend for my family of 4 (kids 6 and 3) and I’m delighted that we did.

  Good communications with the owner beforehand and simple key collection. The property has been renovated recently and has everything you need for a family. It is spacious and is extremely comfortable. It’s on the way out of Benllech on the main road so it can get a little noisy, but it’s only a 5 minute walk back into the main shops and then another 5 minutes down the hill to the beach. The only small drawbacks on the property which would be easily fixed: 1- it has a nice outdoor space but no gate. A gate would have been a little more comforting with our 3 year old and being on a busy road 2- I saw a different review saying the gate is quite tight. It is, but nothing to worry about in my opinion. The issue is more with driving off and onto the road. There’s a big bush which means visibility of the oncoming traffic is extremely limited. Cars can come quite quickly and you need to edge out very carefully to get any form of a view down the road. Cutting back the bush would be a simple job and make this a lot easier. Overall though, fantastic property, great comms with the owner, lovely location. Would highly recommend!

  After being notified by owner of another property our holiday was cancelled at 1pm on a sunday, julia from sykes went above and beyond to find a replacement for the monday!

  !! What a gem she found!! As a family of 8 ages 75 down to 5 it was PERFECT. The house itself was more than we could of asked for. Everyroom decorated to high standards, bathrooms (all 4) stunning. Not once did we feel on top of eachother plenty of different spaces to grab 5 mins to yourself if needed. The gardens and outdoor space were amazing, with 3 lively boys and the dog these were used daily. As someone mentioned non matching crockery we loved this as it made dishing up meals easier knowing who was having each plate! Perfect for exploring the island and secluded. Only downside was leaving! A personal message to owners is after a stressful 24hrs prior to arrival is your property made us forget all about it as soon as we walked through the front door it was like walking into a hug and we will all be coming back (for longer) sometime next year as so much more to see. Thankyou for the great memories made.

  Gorwel is a lovely house and is perfectly for the coast.

  Sadly silly things let the house down for example there was no toilet paper. This would have been fine had we known we would have brought our own and although the description said there would be kindle, wood and matches none could be found. There was always plenty of hot water which was excellent. Unfortunately the top floor bath leaked and was unuseable. I understand that towards the end of the season bowls and cups will have 'disappeared' but there seemed to be no attempt at replacing them. Consequently there was a mismash of bowls and not enough for 10 people, same with cups. The blinds in top floor bed room are faulty. We did contact the owner about access as the front door couldnt be opened but there was no reply. Eventually we managed to open the very stiff door. Overall we had a good holiday but we could have done without these niggly things. Lyn
