  The beds are extremely comfortable and the cottage well equipped.

  We have found a few issues we would like to make you aware of, as I figure if you are not alerted then they cannot be rectified. The water in bathroom runs yellow ( 2yr old refused to get in the bath) and the bath had a grime ring. Fridge isn’t really big enough for the size of party staying. We found the size of the dining room chairs made it very restricting when eating. Maybe a rear bench would be better . My daughter has severe asthma and her first night she suffered badly as we were unaware that the pillows were feather, perhaps a note on the website would have allowed us to bring her own pillows from home. Lastly and most important was the cleanliness, on the surface it looked extremely clean and tidy, however under and down sides of sofas was a huge amount of food debris and dust (having a small child who drop her toys we discovered this problem). And the crockery and cutlery wasn’t clean enough and we had to wash everything we want to use, including cleaning out the cutlery draw. Once we had done this we relaxed and had a good week. This is the second time I’ve booked a Skye’s cottage and the last one has severe damp and mould on net curtains, it was advertised that the site had a pool and hotel restaurant and when we arrived everything was complete shut down . I do wonder whether you company does random spot checks on the properties you have on your site? I’m wondering whether to bother a third time which is very sad because the areas you have cottages are beautiful. Regards Jackie Bradley (disappointed)

  The cottage was lovely and had everything anyone might need for a perfect stay.

  It was overall clean but the shower areas needed cleaning by ourselves before we would use them. The location of the cottage however, was extremely remote. The very, very narrow road to and from the village was quite stressful to travel on as only one car would fit and we had to reverse a fair way a few times to find a spot (someone’s driveway) where we could turn into to allow the other car to pass. After this very long, extremely narrow road, we then had to travel over fields opening and closing 4 gates each time, before we reached the actual cottage! The other problem we encountered was the recycling and rubbish disposal. There were clearly marked bins and plenty of bags in the cottage and that was fine. However, in the information left for us, at the end of the week we were told to put the glass in the top box of the boxes outside the cottage and the food waste in a separate bin etc….these boxes were not outside the cottage - rather they were right at the end of the ‘lane’ which meant driving down, opening and closing 4 gates, struggling with all of this separate rubbish - 5 separate lots!) and when you have to be out for 10 am it’s is a bit fraught getting everything done. We really liked the cottage, the area is lovely, lots to see and do but the bad points, namely the remoteness of the cottage and the chaos with the recycling put a bit of a dampener on things!

  Although we found the booking process a little confusing with emails from separate sites which didn't appear to be linked, we would still book again as we fell in love with the cottage. Hosts ,Tom and Bren, were superb. Were there to meet us on arrival in awful weather and in the dark, but without any complaint. The cottage was everything and more that we could have wished for . Very child friendly too. Play area for the children and very safe. Beautiful views, surrounded by fields and hills, quiet and relaxing and within 20-30 mins drive of everywhere we wanted to go and local attractions such as the slate caverns, Portmadog, Betwyscoed, Snowdonia, Pwllhelli. We had everything we needed in the cottage, and more. Very clean, tidy, loved the quirkiness of it. There is a local Tesco within 1 mile drive if extra provisions are needed. There is also a pub, but we were there for a family gathering so had all we needed in the cottage. Everything you need in the kitchen for cooking a family meal for 8. A few games, lots of books, TV, DVD and Chromecast. Overall superb, would definitely recommend this beautiful quaint cottage.

  Just returned from a lovely week at Hafodty.

  The house is welcoming and cosy. Ideal for a family, we were 9 - 6 adults and 3 children. The grounds were safe for the children and they loved the cows and sheep in the surrounding fields. Had a problem getting to the washing line as the grass was overgrown. A quick phone call to the owners and the area was cleared a few hours later. Problem with the bedroom TV, again sorted by the lovely Helen. In fact the owners were very kind and welcoming. Couldn't do enough for us. We were sorry to leave the beds which were so comfortable. In fact everything we needed was good quality. The only downside, which is why I haven't given a full score on the star rating is the distance from Conway. The roads are very narrow, single track for the most part, which meant when we got home for the day we stayed in, no popping out for the evening. But for all that the views from the property are stunning, photographs don't do it justice, you are so high up its magical. Its a walkers paradise, an experience for children and all of us. Forget the lanes and Hafodty is idyllic.

  We had a lovely stay at Ynys Pandy and the owners were lovely. Even though they live next door in the annexe they had the perfect balance of being available if we needed anything but not being intrusive in any way. The house is lovely and the garden was perfect for us and our husky. Even though there were sheep in the field at the end of the garden it was very secure and she couldn’t get out. Can’t say it would be impossible for any dog to jump or escape but should stop all but the most determined pooches. House was well equipped and comfortable with a lovely conservatory. We had the best weather and spent lots of time in the garden when not exploring the local area. The house is excellently placed for visiting Snowdon, Portmeirion, Abersoch, Barmouth, Beddgelert, Anglesey and many more. Beautiful area, lovely house, great value and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
