Nestled in a picturesque location surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil nature. The cottage provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated, combining rustic charm with modern amenities. The cozy living area featured a lovely fireplace, making it the perfect spot to spend time with my family. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare our own meals with ease. Early morning, we were greeted by the soothing sounds of nature. Overall, our holiday stay at this cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The combination of comfort, beauty and welcoming hospitality made it a truly memorable getaway. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in nature!

Y Cartws is in a wonderful rural location and was very clean. It has plenty of space for 6 people to stay in, although we were only 3. We enjoyed the kitchen facilities and the stunning surrounding views, and remote location.

G. piles of rubbish including old radiators , old fireplace, plasterboard and plaster , and lots of bags of rubbish with a dank and musty smell outside house blocking footway from car park to cottages . there was a mouse in the rubbish on one occasion. car park unlit in dark as was footway from car park to cottages causing safety issue especially with so much rubbish on footway. there is disused swimming pool with foul water in it and not securely fenced off causing health and safety issues.The playground facilities were in a bad state of repair with visible signs of rot. the indoors games facilities in a state of neglect and the whole area had very uneven ground. . there was cabling coming from our sitting room going across pathway causing trip hazard .the bath in cottage showed distinct signs of enamel coming away and i would not have liked to sit in it and risk getting my bottom scratched It really was a very depressing place to stay everything in cottage was very dated and tired . we had come up for a family party on Saturday and couldn't wait to leave early the following day .workmen came and worked in cottage whilst we were staying . we are taking the health and safety and environmental risks further as in all the thirty years we have been with Sykes we have never seen anything like it. we have taken lots of photos to prove our case.
