There is a shower, but no bath. Electric cooker and fire and not gas. Property information found inside the house was incorrect as well - no access to cushions to site outside - which was disappointing as the weather was lovely. The kitchen is of a very poor standard. Dining table in the kitchen cannot comfortably sit more than four people whilst preparing and serving meals. Internal windows were filthy with handprints all over them. Laminate flooring in hallway is lifting and a trip hazard. Behind the bed had not been cleaned which was obvious as the bed was not against the wall on arrival - there was paper and dust behind it. Mattress stained brown on the side and no attempt to clean or cover it with a bed base cover. The internal doors including the wardrobe was stained with yellow marks. External door to the front of the house dirty and blackened. Grey towels provided were bleach stained. Outside door where the keysafe is located has a rusty lock which was difficult to open and close due to the rust. I would not book with Sykes or stay at this property again.

The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We were delighted to find there is a dishwasher, which isnât listed in the amenities! Thank you for the wine, Welsh cakes and milk, much appreciated. The back yard area has been secured so is safe to let the dog out. Little Dolphins is close to the village centre and a short walk to the beach.

The only issue was wth the advertising of the bedroom with the bunk beds. The weather was amazing and so close to the beach with beatiful views all around. You can also see the jets taking off from RAF Valley over to the right. Our only concern was that the picture in the information on the website clearly indicates a larger lower bunk with two pillows on the lower bunk bed room, indicating an extra wide singe or a double at the bottom with a single above. As we were three adults ladies we were happy with the advertising and one of us would sleep in the lower bunk. However, when we arrived the bunk at the lower level was definitely as single with one pillow. Not what the pictures demonstrated, although very comfortable, was a bit of a squeeze.
