Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property clean, with particular mention of well-cleaned areas and fresh bed linen. However, a few guests reported dust and unclean kitchen floors, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local shops, and attractions in North Wales. The ease of access to nearby towns and the quiet setting are appreciated by guests.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, but some mention creaky beds and a lack of views from the windows. The comfort of the property is generally well-regarded, though minor issues are noted.
Facilities are deemed good with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space. However, several guests reported maintenance issues such as broken furniture, non-working appliances, and the need for updates, which affects the score.
Many guests mention a welcome pack, which adds a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, it's noted that not all guests received this, and it should be considered a pleasant surprise rather than an expectation.

Charming living room (upgraded from photos shown) enjoyed using it after active days out or when relaxing in the morning. Conveniently located - close to the beach, mountains and other spots of beauty/exploration. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Pretty courtyard (shared) and a spacious garage to park your car. Overall a peaceful location which made a very relaxing break. We were 3 adults so the bedroom with the bunk beds was not ideal, however not a deal breaker. A second set of keys would be handy.

The location is not too far from the mountains, and there are lovely walking routes from the lane at the top of the village where there are a few parking spaces. The en-suite shower was small, so some people would not wish to use it. It's a little dark on the lower floor, compared to some places we've stayed. The one negative point for us was that on our final, (seventh), evening, we lost all electricity. I contacted Sykes, and Paul from the customer relations team got back to me shortly later to tell me that the landlady had fed some more credit to the electric meter. However, despite following his instructions, we could not get the power back on. After waiting an hour or so in vain waiting on further instructions and with the sun setting, I decided to try a few experiments with the RCD switches and outside mains switch, and managed to get the electrics working again.
