We have photos which speak for themselves.
The holiday cottage is a disgrace and is breaching, in our opinion, all advertising standards. To come back from a holiday where all your luggage and clothes reek of damp. The damp "twin" room has no wardrobes, just coat hangers from screws in the walls. Had to store clothes and retain in our suitcases in the very damp pantry. (Photos available) Also in the twin room, we met another guest, a snail crawling on the rug disgusting and very distressing. The next night we found another one on the wall behind the bed nearest the window. (photo available) This was removed pronto. In every room, reed diffusers have been placed to obviously try and mask the damp smell. The pantry ceiling appears to leak as we found water on the window ledge (photos available) after heavy rain and the ceiling is all damp. The cleaning of the cottage is non-existent, filthy in a word as photos illustrate. Garden is a mess; the lawn not mowed, roses are all overgrown over the arch and footpath as are shrubs when entering the pedestrian gates. A collection of chicken wire, old rusty iron bars and barbed wire are used in two separate places in the garden and add to the squalor of the place. not good for children or elderly persons (photos available) The outside brown waste food bucket is mouldy and has not been cleaned out, see photo of same. The whole place looks as if it has been fitted out from a very bad second hand shop. Furniture is ancient and worn, photos available. Curtains in the lounge are very badly stained, dirty and dropping to bits (photos available) The throws over the sofas were not clean. The bedding on the twin beds was grubby and mismatched, photos available of a split duvet and marked pillowcase. The duvet on the double bed was not big enough for the bed. The sofas and beds had black dog hairs all over them obviously where pet had been on them which I know is not allowed. Our pet was not allowed near any of the furnishings but previous renters had not adhered to this. But your cleaners should ensure all is good for next renters which was not done before our visit. This cottage is far from the standard I expect from Sykes Cottages having had numerous accommodations in the past.Where a hospitality tray and visitors manual was provided but not here. When plugging in the electric radiators, the only form of heating, apart from an open fire. The hairdryer each time used overloaded the electricity sockets tripped the electric. I had to ring Sykes to find out where the consumer unit was. There was no instructions left about how to use cooker, microwave or washing machine. Electricity sockets were overloaded all had extension leads or numerous plugs in an adapter. Various photos available. We had no contact details or instructions about the recycling had to ask neighbour when the blue bins went out, but did not know about the Green or Brown one so we left where they were and had not been put out previously as were disgusting. The cottage needs a dramatic upgrade in my opinion and is a health and safety nightmare. (VARIOUS PHOTOS AVAILABLE) When it comes to installing a washing machine in a bathroom, there are a few things to bear in mind. In the UK, due to strict building regulations, plug sockets canât be fitted in the bathroom unless they are at least three metres from the bath or shower. The electric socket for this was just hanging from the ceiling loosely behind, hence we never used the washing machine as we were very worried it would cause a fire or overload the system. The photos on your website of this cottage makes it look very nice which it could be with a lot of maintenance, deep cleaning and gardening. The views from the lounge and double bedroom windows are very nice Was very good to have smart TV and WI FI but was very cold with only having 3 electric heaters, the storage heaters could not be operated and had no instructions. If we had put on the fire every night we would not have had enough wood for the week. We have lots of photos we could send you to validate our findings. If you can let me have e mail or postal addresss to get these to you. We were so looking forward to this visit and have been very disappointed, All of us have come home with chesty coughs and colds due to the damp conditions. I hope for future renters that you ensure improvements are done or you may continue to get more complaints. I understand people have different ideas and standards of cleaning but this has not even had the basic cleaning done before we rented. Asked if we would rent the cottage again definitely a big NO. Would not give it any star rating at all,. In every room, reed diffusers have been placed to obviously try and mask the damp smell.

Groesffordd was okay but could be really lovely with a bit of TLC.
Floor covering in kitchen looking worn and tired. Shower wasn't powerful enough, my husband had to scrub the rubber mat for the bath because it was black mold on the underneath. He also had to clear the plughole in the bath because it was blocked with hair. Duvet and and bottom sheet wasn't large enough for two single beds joined together in double room. The twin bedroom was too cold to use, no wardrobe provided in this room and little draw space. The open fire in lounge kept blowing the smoke back into the room. The storage heaters weren't working and the oven wasn't working when we arrived.. Menai Holidays were very good at sorting out oven problem for us but the heaters were still not working when we left. The owner was kind enough to give us a refund for inconvenience caused.

The cottage is wonderful, stepping back in time with so much room for 4 people.
It feels so cosy and bright- View from lounge and bedroom is truly beautiful- Rough common sheep grazing & wide horizon. Totally everything is provided in duplicate and triplicate. Kitchen and bathroom so easy to access- warm and clean after a day on a windy beach. Front garden is cute & lovely to sit in with a cuppa and our dogs! I was very intrigued and delighted with the artwork of Iola Spatford and wondered if her work was famous within the family, or perhps whether her painting collection was bought at an auction? We loved this quirky cottage, in particular the garden. Great memories! We visited Dinas Dinlle beach, Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Criccieth, Pwllheli, Abererch. Ate at local venues. Thank you for all your work. x

I have been lucky enough to spend some idyllic weekends at Groesffordd in both the summer and the winter months.
The cottage has everything you need, whether it be a cosy winters evening by the fire or sitting outside enjoying the bucolic views. I would describe Groesffordd as home from home. It is clearly a loved family cottage with a truly inviting feel. There is so much to explore nearby, a wonderful beach, quaint villages where you can buy all your groceries or have a delicious pub meal and lots to see. If you enjoy walking there are walks directly from the front door or a short drive away. You can start, or finish your day with the most incredible sunsets looking out to sea through the sitting room window. Truly a place to switch off and recharge the batteries

This was our fourth stay in Morfa Nefyn and this cottage is an absolutely amazing find!
Apparently we are the first people to stay in this cottage since it has been fully refurbished and rented out for holidays. We were beyond delighted with it - it was perfect! It was well equipped, exceptionally comfortable, brilliantly clean and it had absolutely everything we needed for our perfect holiday. An added bonus was the HUGE garden and some football goals which the kids absolutely loved. The location was fabulous - really near the beach and everywhere we wanted to be. Couldn't be happier and we will definitely be back for next year. Brilliant find. Loved every second. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!
