  It’s certainly not a bad cottage but wasn’t the most comfortable we’ve stayed in.

  The sofa was horrible for us with virtually no back - we gave in and brought our camping chairs in from the car as these were more comfortable! Younger people might find this less of a problem. There is an oven, hob and microwave as well as a fridge and four of almost everything crockery wise. Surprisingly there were no egg cups. No welcome pack was provided which isn’t a problem yet there were teabags, some proper coffee, two dishwasher tablets and three toilet rolls. There were also some washing tablets and washing up liquid. It’s good to know what is provided because we have arrived with bread and milk etc before to find it orovided. The bed was not uncomfortable and the TV worked well and the shower was superb! The cottage is within a few minutes walk of the beach. There are quite a few walks nearby. The train station is very close with two hourly services north to Harlech, Portmadog , Cricieth and Pwlleli or south into Barmouth and beyond. Barmouth is an easy drive from the cottage for its restaurants and shops or there is a Tesco about 30 minutes drive in Portmadog. The cottage was very clean and we enjoyed our stay but would not return because of the comfort issues.

  Wrong phone numbers on advertisement, and contact name.

  Couldnt get in till 4.35pm due to cleaner shortage. Drain smell coming from shower, cleared after heavy rain 3 days later. ? No extractor fan. Freezer defrosting most of the time, iced up. Fridge consequently wet. Had to ask for 1st aid box, none in cottage, got it promptly, but should have been in cottage. No accident book offered. Lower Blind in long window in bedroom not working. Curtain in lounge comes off curtain hooks. The cottage was lovely and cosy, bed comfortable, shower good. General decor tastefully done. Its a shame that there are the above negatives are not dealt with. Some are against the law, ie accident book, ? Lack of extractor fan in bathroom can be dangerous, we had to leave windows open as the smell was bad. We hope these things will be addressed. The late entry into the cottage was difficult for us, we had travelled along way, my husband is elderly and disabled, this was distressing to us both. 4pm is late enough, beyong that is beyond a joke. Disappointed in Sykes as these things should be addressed.

  This property is not a Luxery Cottage.

  Day one: Note left to say extractor fan not working in on suit bathroom, part ordered they would be in to fix it in the week still waiting, extractor fan on 24/7. Day two; Shower running on very hot or very cold Day three; shower as day two, tried to cook a meal on Sunday oven broke down after ten minutes of putting it on fused the place Day four; phoned Mrs Williams, said she would get a plumber to fix shower, and her Husband to look at Oven, she text us later that day to say they had ordered a new Oven and it Would be delivered next day. Day five; Oven arrived and was fixed that late afternoon. We could not use the freezer in the fridge as it was so frozen you couldn’t get anything in it. We would apriciate it if you would take use of your mailing list as this is the send place we have had problems with this year.

  GREAT site for choosing a rental property. Very accurate photos and details. The team are all very helpful and filled with tips and the hosts at the property were also stellar. VERY lovely property and atmospheric. Didn't really want to leave it every day! Nice to come home to at night. Just gorgeous. Owners really put a lot into it in trying to remain historically accurate whilst being modern in other respects. The Gatehouse was very close to so many areas of interest, and also within walking distance of town and also trails, etc. Local garage next to the bridge was instrumental in helping me also. VERY NICE guys. Above and beyond. Town has everything you could need. Fantastic stay. Thanks so much! If I went back I would book again with Wales Cottage Holidays no question.

  Great location easy access to beach walks, main road and station.

  Cottage is small (not a negative that's what we were expecting) has good facilities and is well laid out. the water pressure is great and shower really good (one of my bug bears in many cottages). You are on the edge of a massive 'village' of caravans and campsites, but you do not notice this once at the cottage, the seating area is well laid out and you have a good level of privacy. for dogs there is the beach and you are on the coastal footpath for fields and paths to explore in all directions. would defiantly visit again if in the areas and would recommend for anyone with a dog.
