  Property is of a high standard and has a great outlook over the fields and the entertaining lambs.

  Everything you could need for a break. However what is not stated in the information is the heating is controlled by owner via Hive. On our first day my wife was cold so I switched the heating to manual following the instructions in the book. at teatime we received the following message from the owner who turned the heating back to his own settings. quote: I've just checked the heating and its on manual. I have it on a schedule/timer. I hope you have not forgotten about it and it's been on 22.5 degrees all day? My reply at 9pm. The thermostat will only trigger the heating system when it falls below the target temperature.I have pulled back the blinds as I do at home to let the sun in to heat it up. As this lovely house is so well insulated the actual temperature is still 22.5 degrees so the heating here has not been on all day. My wife has terminal cancer and I brought her down to see her granddaughter who is at Bangor University. Because of the chemotherapy and other medications she feels cold a lot of the time which is why I set the thermostat to 22 degrees as it is at home. Despite my reply the owner continued to switch it back to his settings each day. I understand the costs have risen for gas but I am sure the cost of staying in the cottage has risen to compensate. My wife was quite upset by all this, so much so that she wanted to go home. What should have been a joyous occasion for my wife was ruined. Thanks Wynne. It should be stated in the description that heating is strictly controlled by owner. We have been to many cottages and never had interference from an owner before. The message about BBQ use reads: feel free to use this but we expect it to be left as clean as you found it! A cleaning charge/fine will be made against you, if it isn't. Perhaps says everything about the owner! Won't be back!!

  We stayed at Gwel y Mor recently for 2 nights whilst attending my grandmothers funeral in the town.

  We used the house mainly as a base at night. We were familiar with the property as my sister has previously hired it and we were impressed with what it had to offer, hence why we chose to hire it this time around, we knew what we were getting. Perfectly located within the town, a 2 minute walk to all the towns facilities and shops/pubs. On road parking is available but limited. The house was immaculately clean and tidy however the only downside was when we walked into the house there was a musty odour coming from the hallway- the only way I can describe it is like a bucket of dirty mop water had been spilt on the carpets and allowed to dry. It didn’t affect us as we were only in the house for a small amount of time however if we were there longer it certainly would have put me off. It may be wise to find the source of the odour and rectify it for future guests. The house comfortably sleeps 6 and there is space in the top double bedroom for a travel cot (not provided by the house). Excellent kitchen facilities. Lovely coffee machine in the master bedroom although we did not use this. Excellent check in time (3pm) and check out time (10am). Towels and bed linens provided. It may be worth leaving some instructions in the house- contact details, check in/out times etc. When my sister has previously stayed these were readily available but not this time. I read some previous reviews regarding the house next door undergoing some renovation and builders being noisy- builders were present undertaking works for the duration of our stay however were quiet and it didn’t affect the stay. A beautiful house and We would stay again. Thank you.

  Not really sure where to start with this review as I'm not sure I have the words to say how much we have loved our stay in Ty Cuddfan.

  I know everyone has had a very hard 16 months so I won't dwell on that but after that time our holiday was just what our family needed! We have never done two weeks in the UK before but decided we all deserved a nice long relaxing time so we decided to go for two weeks (or as relaxing as holidaying with 3 children can be). As soon as we walked into Ty Cuddfan we felt at home and it definitely has the WOW factor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more! We have fallen in love with the house, the farm and our amazing neighbours (the cows) they have kept us entertained for hours watching their antics! The area is beautiful and the added bonus of the park and football field over the road was perfect for our 3 boys. We have had an action packed holiday but have loved coming back to Ty Cuddfan for a BBQ at night or just to sit with a wine looking at the mountain view. There is literally nothing I can think of that we needed or that would have made our stay any better! The owners were fab with communication and we really appreciated it! We are all feeling sad our holiday is coming to an end and we genuinely hope we will be back in the future! Thank you for everything and for our two weeks of much needed family time!

  The property is in a great location.

  Although parking is not available near the property you have to use the car park situated about a 10min walk at £6 a day and overnight which I think should be noted in the details for the property. The property is damp, unfortunately we had quite a bad leak in the bathroom (which is situated downstairs) I thought initially from the shower however after I had contacted the owner she explained that it was a build up of silt in the pipes outside causing the water to come into the bathroom due to the amount of rain. Dont get me wrong the owner sorted the problem but because of the intense smell of damp in the property I believe it’s an ongoing issue and needs to be resolved. The amount of woodlice was disturbing not just a few on the floor but actually climbing the walls. All the crockery had to be washed before use and the fridge/freezer needs some attention it’s completely frozen up. Washing machine is rusty inside so i opted not to use it. The cottage is lovely and well equipped it was the issues above that spoilt it for me. Would I book again - no sorry! For the money I paid it did not meet my expectations nor did it meet the description advertised.

  The listing didn’t justify the setting or very high spec.

  Property. However, the rusted cutlery is limited and not of the quality shown elsewhere in this beautiful barn. Also I feel a 4.30 arrival and a 9.30 am departure even during COVID times would make me question another stay. (The brochure in the cottage stated 5pm arrival and 9am departure.) I’ve mentioned COVID, I understand we need to be extremely cautious, BUT with rubber gloves and a mask which I have used throughout this period, why are we being asked to strip the beds and sort the towels? I selected a 3 bedroom property because I like space and luxury. My daughter and husband spent four days with us. As mentioned, I like the luxury so happy to pay that extra. However, I am NOT happy to have to vacate that early and strip beds. When I stay overnight in a hotel, I have much greater freedom in departure time and definitely no bed changing. COVID is still around, and probably will remain. But I sincerely hope your management team can look into my strong feelings about the points made above. Thank you
