The cottage was in a great location and it was easy to park right outside at all times.
The WiFi worked well and the cottage was well equipped for our needs. Sadly, the cleanliness and attention to detail lets it down. We arrived just after dark and put the hall light on to find that the bulb had gone. Putting on the stairs light just shows how filthy the stairs carpet is. There was some very old moldy coffee in the coffee jar on the kitchen unit along with some very old lumpy sugar. I should say that a welcome tray was provided with coffee and sugar sachets so why not just get rid of the old jars or at least wash them out? The outdoor terrace area is pretty grim. No attempt had been made to clear the rotting leaves from the steps or to clean the outside furniture. Again, when putting on the outside light we found the bulb had gone. There are some solar lights but these were never seen working. There is a notice advising guests that the steps may be slippery but I feel the lack of maintenance and lighting will be far more important factors in the claim for damages that is surely going to occur if the steps are left in this appalling condition. In the information folder it tells you where to find spare light bulbs and a torch but alas they donât actually exist. Other issues we found included the freezer box in the fridge is so iced up it is impossible to get anything in it. We spent ages chiseling out space for some ice cream! The shower curtain was covered in long hairs that washed off all over the place when showering. Thinking it may be better to have a bath was also a bad idea as the water pressure is so poor it takes over 30 minutes to fill and the drainage so bad, pretty much the same time to empty it afterwards. The bins are still a problem. I get that they may only be emptied every 3 weeks but they were already pretty full when we arrived and smell horrible. Finally, we tried to track down an odd smell in the kitchen to no avail. On departure when we took out the bin bag from the bin we found the rotting food remnants from a previous guest that the cleaner had obviously just left behind and covered up with a new bag. All in all, these are all easily solvable problems (probably with new cleaners) They wern`t enough to make me want to complain but neither could I recommend anyone to stay here. I do feel that Sykes and the owners need to get a grip on this before standards slip any further.

If ever a cottage has had the owner's love poured into it, then this must rank amongst the very highest.
Not much to look at from the outside (let's face it, it's only an old miners cottage), but from the moment you open the door, you can't help but be impressed (well, we were anyway!). A small hall (with laminate flooring for dirty boots) leading to a really comfortable lounge with a large sofa and a most welcome solid fuel stove (yes, even in July; it was great!). A nice solid wood sideboard supporting a suitably large Panasonic TV with freeview box - nothing cheap here. There is also an expanding solid wood dining table and four dining chairs. I would guess that the downstairs was once two rather cramped rooms that have been knocked into one - a good idea which works well. The kitchen has therefore been added an a full-width extension to the rear, and what a kitchen it is, with top notch appliances and both a dishwasher AND washing machine. Upstairs has a large full-width double bedroom to the front and a smaller single bedroom and bathroom to the rear. All very sensible and satisfactory. Previous feedback has mentioned that the hot water is miserable and yes, it is rather slow. It gets there, but with no head from the cold water tank, it just takes its time! The owner has agreed that this is not ideal and will be converting this to a full mains-pressure tank shortly (he only finished the conversion in May this year, so give him a chance!). I'm sure he will update his description accordingly. On the plus side, the shower is really good and the dishwasher works - what else do you need hot water for?! So, if this is the only gripe, PLEASE do not let this put you off. As others testify, the location is quiet yet accessible and the view from the garden is just lovely- remote and romantic. It just remains for me to say thank you for allowing us to have our holiday here - we can't wait to come back. Robert & Tamzin

We did enjoy our stay at 19 Cwmorthin Rd and it was much as we had hoped for.
Loved the view from the kitchen and of a generous size that made preparing suppers a joy. For the most part we discovered all the switches for this and that to work and the heating was very cosy, but never did discover how we were to get general hot water through the taps in the kitchen and bathroom and coped without it. The shower was fine but took time to get accustomed to; no two showers are ever the same! A great base for our trips as we managed days out to Conwy, to Anglesey and finally the hill climb to the top of Moelwyn Mawr for which the property is ideal as a starting point. For any who take a full look at the property be aware that the one parking space is directly out of the front door in a small space there and NOT at the adjacent terrace end. One issue I would leave with Sykes is that I felt that the two pages of instructions in the folder could really be expanded a little, to give a fuller description of the workings of the property: this would definitely include a description of the local council recycling instructions with which I would happily have complied had I but known the rules laid down! Even the green bin, seen outside every other property along Cwmorthin Road, was seemingly being used for storage and not available for general rubbish; this did leave me scratching my head as to how best dispose of our gathered waste at the end of our stay.

This cottage is amazing.
The location is perfect - you can stand at the kitchen sink and look directly out into the mountains. As soon as we stepped out of the front door we had a choice of several different walks to go on. Strike upwards for the mountain or the upper Stiwnog reservoir, or down to the lower reservoir or into Blaenau Ffestiniog, we did both. We also had a kickabout on the school football pitch at the bottom of the hill. The cottage itself feels fresh and light. There is a modern kitchen with a huge window letting in tons of light separated by a door from a very comfortable sitting room and a log burner set in a fireplace with tons of character. Lots of room in the fireplace to store all the logs we needed for the evening so no need to go anywhere once we had settled down. The bathroom was clean and fresh with a modern finish and another fab view of the mountain. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable. They both have wardrobes so there was plenty of storage for our clothes and space to stow the suitcases. To cap it off there is a shallow feeder pool for the reservoir about 100m away from the cottage that is perfect for skimming stones and paddling in. We spent a few hours there on our way back to the cottage when our son wasnât quite ready to go home yet. We had a super relaxing stay and really enjoyed our time here. Thanks.

I have given the above stars for the reasons below (photos available if required) Mould on Shower Curtain Mould on Bathroom Curtain Mould on wall around Window Frame in Bathroom Mould on wall around Bedroom Window Mould on wall in Bedroom near plug.
Holes in cushions in Living Room Only one light bulb working out of three on main light fitting TV didn't work Drainage Pipe was blocked in backyard so every time we used bathroom yard flooded. only 2 can openers, one didn't work other very rusty. I rang owner and expressed my concerns as this is the first time myself and my wife have been away since covid and we expected the house to be checked. As we don't have any mould at home you can imagine our disappointment to have it in a 4 ticks rated holiday home which we had paid good money for. My wife rang the owner on Friday and the owner explained she lived 40 miles away and couldn't get over to deal with it till Monday. I was able to fix TV myself on Saturday morning and owner did visit while we were out to change Shower Curtain, wipe the mould from the wall and cleared the blockage in the back yard. I hadn't mentioned the cushions, the light bulbs or the can openers as I was fed up of having to get in touch with her about things that should have been dealt with before we arrived.
