“We had a lovely stay at The Rise and it's well located for the attractions in the area.”
The only improvement i would suggest would be to secure the rear garden with a fence / gates to keep kids / dogs safely contained.

Yehuda “A lovely very nice bungalow with big nice garden.”
- Yehuda, August 2024The irony of the cleanliness rating from Mr Heimann can only be appreciated by the condition the property was left in following his departure. We can’t understand how people could disrespect our property by allowing their children to scribble on our walls and furniture, and leaving litter both inside and outside the house. We pride ourselves in maintaining our house to the highest of standards for the benefit and enjoyment of our guests which in this instance was sadly pointless. Booking our property does not give anyone carte blanche to treat it badly. There’s also a claim being submitted following damage caused to our range cooker. You would not be welcome at the Rise again. Property Owner
Carole “We loved it!”
Everything you could wish for and the bungalow was SPOTLESS. Felt at home as soon as we walked in. The garden was lovely (a gate would be fab for the dog). We bought our elderly Mums and they thoroughly enjoyed it! Great place to be able to visit so many spectacular places nearby. Thank you so much! We would definitely return!
- Carole, August 2024Chris “Thank you for a fantastic place to stay.”
The quality of finish in the house and attention to detail in all sorts of appliances provided were superb and the house seemed to literally have everything we wanted. Really is a stunning house and we will definitely return in the future! Thank you
- Chris, August 2024John “This is the second occasion we have used this property.”
It is absolutely superb and is very well maintained. There is everything you need there whether you decide to self-cater or eat out.
- John, June 2024Alan “Lovely well kept house nicely furnished and well maintained The only negative is the need for another bathroom but that an ideal world!”
Otherwise a fantastic stay
- Alan, June 2024Beccy “We had an amazing stay at The Rise, we had everything we needed and it was the perfect base for exploring.”
Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, it really did feel like a home from home. Wish we could have stayed longer!
- Beccy, May 2024Gaye “Well equipped & clean.”
Comfortable bed & great location. Enjoyed our stay - thank you.
- Gaye, November 2023Lawson “Excellent quality holiday let.”
Central for visiting the attractions of North Wales.
- Lawson, August 2023Tushar “We had really enjoyable holidays and We all loved staying at The Rise.”
Our stay was very comfortable. Location is perfect. All amenities are available. Great outdoor space and parking. We will hopefully come back again
- Tushar, August 2023Deb “Beautiful spacious bungalow well equipped kitchen with a Range oven Lovely ...”
Beautiful spacious bungalow well equipped kitchen with a Range oven Lovely spacious double bedrooms with exceptionally comfortable beds Brilliant base to explore North Wales
- Deb, July 2023John “The property was excellent.”
It was both comfortable, clean and homely. The kitchen was fully equipped and I have never see a Rangemaster in any holiday cottages that we have booked in the past. The beds were excellent, both my wife and I slept soundly the whole night. Beautiful views over Snowdonia and a great area to sit out at the back. The only slight downside was the traffic noise from the A5/A55 in the distance but after a couple of days we didn't notice it at all, even with the windows/doors open or sittting outside. When they were closed you couldn't hear anything at all. If we go back to the area we will definitely look to book this one again. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in over the last 6/7 years.
- John, June 2023Robert “The Rise near Bangor was as advertised ,clean and tidy and in a good place to visit all around north wales.”
would book again if we are in north wales again, lovely spot.
- Robert, May 2023Gill “Fabulous property .”
Perfect location and well equipped. Very comfortable . We had a dog and young children so the fact that the garden was not enclosed was a bit of a concern but did not detract from the excellent cottage . Very beautifully maintained and would dfhjntrly come back .
- Gill, May 2023Elwyn “This property provides an ideal base for touring North Wales and Anglesey, as it is situated just a few minutes away from the A55 on the outskirts of Bangor.”
The property is well-equipped and provided us with everything we needed for our holiday. The Wi-Fi signal was very good and we had no connection problems with our smart phones, tablets, or the TV in the property. As the name suggests, there is a steep climb up the front drive of this property and the garden is all open plan without any gates. Bearing this in mind, children and dogs (especially with balls) do need to be supervised to ensure they do not run down the drive into the small lane. We enjoyed our stay at The Rise and really enjoyed walking with the dogs along The Ogwen Trail, which is situated very close to the property.
- Elwyn, April 2023Andrew “We had a great week at The Rise.”
The property is extremely well maintained and equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is possibly the best equipped of any cottage we've stayed in. Everywhere was squeaky clean and smelled fresh when we arrived and is a credit to the owners. Shops are in easy reach, as are a few easy walks if you're taking a pet.
- Andrew, April 2023Louise “We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage.”
It is extremely equipped with added extras provided for a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend this property and have booked again for next year.
- Louise, February 2023Peter “This property was perfect in every way, most definitely one of the best we’ve stayed at in all the years we’ve been renting.”
It was home from home with everything one would need during your stay. The owners Andrew and Karyn should be proud of what they’ve achieved. Many thanks
- Peter, October 2022Lee “Fabulous stay - the accomodation was spotlessly clean and perfect for our family break over half term exploring Anglesey and North Wales.”
Quiet location with lovely view of mountains but easy to get onto main roads to explore sights. would highly recommend
- Lee, October 2022Alan “One of the best cottages we have had a holiday in.”
Facilities and maintenance superb. Central to many attractions in the area.
- Alan, October 2022Brian “When you arrive at The Rise, the first thing that strikes you is the well manicured lawns and the attractive bungalow.”
As soon as you enter you are greeted by the pleasing aroma of pot pouri and its cleanliness. It is extremely well equipped and much thought has been put into making this so welcoming. We have stayed in other Sykes cottages and all are quite well equipped but The Rise outshines them all. There are a few tea bags, a small bottle of fresh milk and even a pack of Welsh cakes to welcome you as well as plenty of towels and ample linen, plus so much more. Everything has been thought of to make your stay a pleasant one. You literally just need your food. I could continue to wax lyrical but you need to see it for yourself. I was privileged to meet the owners, a charming couple and the property certainly reflects their personalities. I have have rated this as 5 star but that does not do this property justice, it is worth many more. We will certainly be back another day.
- Brian, September 2022John “Great property immaculate credit to the owners”
- John, September 2022Mariam “Beautiful home.”
We all had such a good time in it. Thanks
- Mariam, July 2022Nuria “The Rise is a welcoming cottage that will make you feel at home, away from home.”
The kids enjoyed playing football on the lawn and the property had all the comforts necessary for a pleasant stay. It is very well maintained and beautifully decorated, besides being very well located. We will surely be coming back! Thank you.
- Nuria, July 2022Nisha “The accommodation was spectacular.”

About the location
BANGOR
Menai Bridge 2.5 miles; Beaumaris 7 miles; Caernarfon 10 miles; Llanberis 11 miles.
Bangor is a university town on the North Wales coast with a large range of shops, bars and restaurants. It is the main crossing point for the Isle of Anglesey with two road bridges across the Menai Strait. Across the water, the castle and pier at Beaumaris make a lovely day out, or you can catch a boat to enjoy a trip out to Puffin Island. The Anglesey Coastal Path takes in beautiful scenery, and the island is home to many fine beaches including Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and Red Wharf Bay. The NT mansion Plas Newydd is on the island, while on the mainland further NT properties can be found including Penrhyn Castle and Bodnant Gardens. The spectacular mountains and lakes of Snowdonia are just a short drive way, with plenty of castles, beaches and other attractions on offer in this wonderful region. Bangor and the Menai Straits really do offer the best of both worlds!
