“We recently stayed at the beautiful Isallt and wow!”

We have visited north Wales many times and this is hands down the best place we've stayed for so many reasons! The cottage itself was very clean, tidy, lots of space, everything you could possibly need- cutlery, plates, washing up items, towels, the list goes on. Best shower ever! All the beds were very comfortable, the main bed being exceptional! Very lovely decor, nice and cosy, and love the little homely touches around! It is also situated on a working farm which was lovely, our 5 year old ...

All the beds were very comfortable, the main bed being exceptional! Very lovely decor, nice and cosy, and love the little homely touches around! It is also situated on a working farm which was lovely, our 5 year old daughter loved seeing the animals around and the tractor! Hot tub outside was just glorious to unwind in after a busy day! There was also lots of things near by, shops, food places, Harlech castle! And a wonderful beach pretty much opposite, our daughter enjoyed collecting many shells from there, as well as me and my partner of 10years getting engaged whilst there!! Was a wonderful day with exceptional views all around! Highly recommend this property and we will be back for definite, thanks for a brilliant stay!

“There is nothing to fault about this place.”

Well equipped, silent all the time, close to the various walks. The powerful hot shower and hot tub was wonderful to return to after a long day hiking. The bed was very comfy.

“We had a really lovely stay at Isallt.”

The cottage was everything we had hoped for. The hot tub was welcome after a day's walking! Sarah was really friendly and helpful. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Loved seeing the chickens wandering around coming to the gate to say hello!

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Isallt.”

Everything was as good or even better than expected. The owners were very responsive, friendly and helpful. Our dog felt right at home straight away. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a Snowdonia getaway right by the sea.

Christine March 2024

“We had a wonderful stay in the cottage it was spotless on arrival .”

The cottage is very cosy . The jacuzzi was amazing so warm and relaxing . The double bed was so comfy . But the single beds if a adult sleeping in them were not as comfy.. The cows next to the cottage were a delight. Loved seeing them in the morning The beach nearby is glorious Easy access to wonderful barmouth and Harlech and porthmadog . We had a wonderful stay would recommend. Only thing we missed was a welcome pack as if you have travelled a long way a small pint of milk and a few tea bags . Coffee sachets would have been nice. Maybe a welsh cake These little touches make such a difference. But I would definitely recommend this cottage as it is beautiful . Thank you for a delightful break.

- Christine, March 2024

Many thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. its a shame you didn’t see the canisters, with the tea, coffee and sugar in. Plus the little milk tubs. Just above the kettle on the shelf. Property Owner

“Lovely comfortable cottage.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay (lots of light bulbs need replacing for property owners info not to be published)

“Having the heating controlled at unrealistic times also the fact they are controlled not happy with this.”

The outdoor space was good however some form of lean to over the bbq area may have its advantages

Bethanie September 2023

“We had the loveliest stay here.”

Great location, close to lots of nice day trips and places. Lovely pub in Llanbedr village great food and beer. This Cottage was absolutely perfect for our young family, super comfortable beds, great kitchen kitted out with all we needed and the hot tub was the best we've ever had- clean, big and ready on arrival. Nothing too much for our host who made us so welcome. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone!

Thank you for your lovely feedback Property Owner
Joe September 2023

“Absolutely brilliant stay at isallt.”

Everything you need is there + some extras e.g. washing machine, dishwasher. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Hot tub is perfect to relax after a long day hiking in the hills. Location is stunning, couple minutes to the beach which has to be one of the best in Britain, golden soft sand that stretches for miles. Few different towns within a short drive, some a little bit further but the drive is on lovely country roads with stunning views. Would highly recommend. Thankyou

Louise August 2023

“Isalt was in lovely quiet surroundings on an active farm.”

The cottage was a little tired in some areas, however had full amenities and a gorgeous hot tub, ideal for late evening soaks. The most uncomfortable aspect was the double bed in the main room. Whilst it looks very grand on entrance, the mattress was uncomfortably soft with little suport and the bedframe on the right had collapsed. It wasn't until we looked at the bed did we realise 5 of the slats were indeed on the floor and needed to be re-built. Due to how the bed was originally constructed, the slats kept slipping out. This resulted in my husband buying an airbed to sleep on. The TWIN room is only ideal for small juniors. Both my children aged 11/ 14 were too long for both child framed beds The owners were very friendly and hospitable, however we felt our concerns regarding the bed were dismissed, reporting '' the mattress is new''. Whilst, it was a lovely interesting cottage and we loved the area, we wouldn't unfortunately return to Isalt.

- Louise, August 2023

It is a shame we were not made aware of the on going situation. As you had only mentioned this within 12 hours of your arrival. And was told they had been replaced in the right position. If we were aware of it being on going, we could of looked at the bed. As we did after you left, and found a wood cross member had been broken. By previous guests, i would think?. And this has now been fixed.The beds in the twin room are both single with single mattress. Property Owner

Julie December 2022

“This was a beautiful, cosy, comfortable cottage.”

Every effort had been made by the owner to make it festive and homely. The cottage is really well equipped and all kitchen utensils etc were very good quality. The shower was hot and powerful. My small negative….and it is small is that I would either prefer a polyester duvet or a thicker cover over the down as occasionally the feather ends poked through…..like I say it’s a minor thing. The hot tub was amazing and was very well used. I would definitely recommend this cottage and will be returning again myself.

Zoe December 2022

“A lovely stay at Isallt over Christmas.”

The cottage was perfectly positioned between the sea and the mountains. Clean, tidy, warm and very well equipped. The enclosed garden is great if you have a dog and the hot tub was a perfect addition after a day in the hills. Welcoming and friendly hosts. We could not have asked for more. We would and have recommend a stay in this lovely cottage. Zoe, Jim and Ted ( the

“Perfect week!”

Arrived to a nice welcome from Sara. Lovely homely cottage in a lovely setting. Private hot tub. Perfectly positioned to walk to Harlech beach. The cottage has everything you could need. Asked Sara about a BBQ then next morning there was one on the patio for us. Lovely days out followed by lovely evenings in the hot tub. Can’t wait to return!

Cathy December 2021

“The Cottage was lovely comfortable and warm.”

The nice touches of the Christmas decorations were much appreciated and we managed to cook a full Christmas dinner in the kitchen. The kitchen itself had everything we needed for our weeks stay over the holiday period. We only used one of the bedrooms ,however the double bed we found to be very comfortable. The living accommodation was spacious enough for the two of us and our dog Flora who also enjoyed her getaway in Wales. A very Enjoyable stay in a lovely cottage.

Richard September 2021

“We were hoping for a high standard and that is what we found.”

Owners very approachable and keen to please. The one slight negative is that the beds in the twin bed room are not ideal for taller people but they are as long as the style of the room will allow. Ideal location for exploring and we had an enjoyable week. Hope to return again.

Casey June 2021

“The property is a nice size, with a nice living space and dining area.”

The recliner chairs were a great plus we loved those. We loved that we could park the car outside the property. The bedroom was lovely size. The bathroom was nice but the floor was very creaky which echoed round the whole cottage. On arrival it was a shame we wasn’t greeted by the host. We then didn’t see/ get introduced to the host until day 3 which was disappointing as it would have been nice to meet her sooner and also would have been useful to know where we could find her if we needed anything. There were no instructions on how to use anything in the property. Having been to lots of Airbnb’s in the past it is normal for there to be some instructions on how to use the tv, heating, etc and also there was no instructions on how the bins/ recycling work in the property. Every area is different so it is helpful to be informed. It was disappointing that on the 1st night the hot tub was not ready. I had messaged the host prior to arrival to ensure the hot tub would be ready and I was ensured it would be. Considering when we arrived it was peak of a fortnight of beautiful weather in Wales it was a shame that the outside furniture was dirty when we arrived and also that the umbrella was also broken. We let the host know this and she ordered a new one but this was no use to us as it didn’t arrive in time. I know the property was self catering but in every self catering property I’ve visited we have had spare bin bags, extra toilet roll and salt and pepper. This property didn’t have any of these things. They are very cheap things to improve on but make all the difference to your guests stay. As the property is self catering it is a shame the fridge is not bigger. We had done a food shop for our whole week at the cottage and struggled to fit it all in the tiny fridge. I also found the fridge not to work that great. Some of our food went off whilst in the fridge (even though the food was still in date) and also the opposite too some of our drinks came out frozen. We ensured that the fridge temperature was always on 3 so it was not that. The double bedroom duvet was a feather one which almost instantly brought me out in a rash so we had to use the two single duvets in the twin room. It was a shame there wasn’t a spare normal double duvet somewhere we could use. The mattress was also not the most comfortable and it seemed to dip in the middle. We had a nice week exploring Wales and using the cottage as a base. The cottage had beautiful views of the sunset in the evening. And when the hot tub was working it was lovely to sit out there and watch it.

Vicky May 2021

“We had a wonderful stay at Isallt, the facilities were great and extremely clean.”

The bed was really comfortable and the cottage was nicely furnished. The hot tub was great on an evening after a day on the beach; it has garden furniture so you can eat outside, which was a nice bonus. The owner Sara was really friendly and approachable if we needed her. We had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend and return.

Zohra April 2021

“A lovely cottage in a peaceful setting.”

Unfortunately the bed wasn't as comfortable as expected and the hot tub area not very private as it was overlooked by neighbouring cottages and caravan. Screens/plants around all sides would probably remedy this.

“A lovely little cottage that is perfectly located to explore the area.”

The cottage had everything you could think of to make our stay a comfortable one. Beds were comfy, it had reclining seats in the lounge, plus little extras such as dish washer tablets and soap dispensers. The hot tub was lovely after being out and about all day, and the neighbours were friendly too (the chickens). Already looking to go back again next year

The cottage was lovely well equipped and very clean. I travelled with my daughter and young grandsons who loved the visiting chickens and cat. The cottage was very child friendly. Hot tub was fab overall we had a great holiday would definitely recommend isallt and would love to visit again.

Simon July 2020

“Arrived after 3hr journey and was met by the owners who were in the process of cleaning out the Hot tub after the previous occupants had left.”

This made me feel reassured what with the current covid 19 situation. We were allowed to access the property straight away and as soon as we entered the accommodation we were blown away with the lay out and attention paid to making it comfortable. Everything looked really clean. Wifi access codes were provided for 2 appliances per code. Plenty of room for the 4 of us in our party. Fresh eggs were available when we needed them as the owners have about 24 hens on site that produce free range eggs ( Just don't leave the front door open otherwise you have feathered house guests) We used the Hot tub on the second night and it was pure bliss. Really warm and the jets did the job of relaxing the muscles. Overall this was just an amazing weeks break but it felt like home. The owners are really friendly and the view of Shell island is just breathtaking. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking another visit soon. If there is one thing that we wish we could change it was the Freezer. The freezer just wasn't big enough to store anything other than a bag of ice, Due to the current situation there aren't many places open that can deliver takeaway and most of the local restaurants are still closed so needed to shop at tescos in Porthmadog for fresh produce.

Rebecca March 2020

“Absolutely excellent place to stay!”

A great base for the exploring we wanted to do. The property is so cosy and comfortable and we loved the fact it was on a farm. We saw new baby lambs and cows, brilliant views over to the sea! Hot tub was a great bonus. We had everything we could possibly need and more. Sara was really friendly and came to check up on us to see if we needed anything! We would love to come back!

- Rebecca, March 2020
Imma February 2020

“The cottage was filthy and cold .”

Had to clean everything. The cottage is attached to a cows shed and cows bang on the walls and wake you up at night. Yhe smell of cows poo and cows feed is unbearable. The owners have no sense of hospitality, nothing to greet you and they didn’t even introduce themselves. The owners dog kept pooping in the garden and eating my dog food. No coffee or milk on arrival. The loo downstairs is directly facing the cows shed. The window is black with cows poo. Flies everywhere and you couldn’t open the windows because of the smell. I strongly suggest you let people know about all these issues. The kitchen was filthy, all the drawers and shelves were greasy. The hot tub wasn’t pleasing because the smell was disgusting. So disappointed with the customer service and the owners reaction. I left two days earlier. I won’t book again with Sykes. Really bad experience.

Arrived late evening heating/lights were on waiting our arrival. Our food delivery was kindly put away, everything put in place. Very comfortable property with everything and more than expected. Beautiful weekend spent hot tub was bliss definitely on the top of my list to return too in the future

- Kathy, September 2019
Julie July 2019

“You would never know this was a working farm.”

Peaceful setting with gorgeous views from the top hill. Very cosy accommodation. Perhaps a better quality mattress for the main bedroom and fix the missing plug in the sink, apart from that I couldn't fault it. Very clean and nicely appointed. A good base for travelling around North Wales and the added bonus of a hot tub to rest in after a busy day

- Julie, July 2019

Rhian May 2019

“Fabulous location in a sunny spot.”

Cottage was quiet and snug. Hot tub was great. You could sit in it at night and watch the bats flying and listen to the local owls hooting. Five minute walk to station for great train rides up and down the shoreline for fantastic views.

- Rhian, May 2019
Ian December 2018

“Lovely cottage, very snug and comfortable.”

Great location, 25 minute walk to nearest village and similar distance to reach the beach. Hot tub was wonderful after a long days walking, stayed in there most of the evening! Would 100% recommend to anyone and will 100% be going back again.

- Ian, December 2018
Dave July 2018

“The cottage we stayed in, Isalt near Harlech, on the argoed farm site was of a very high standard.”

Access was easy, parking was excellent and the location perfect for our needs. The cottage itself was excellently appointed and we had no need to contact the owners during our stay.

- Dave, July 2018
Brian May 2018

“Great holiday, lovely cottage, if we were nit pickers we could nit pick but the owners of Argoed Farms were a lovely couple.”

We have been with Sykes before & in all probability will be booking again. However, Sykes has changed since we originally made our first booking with them. I do not agree with the lady who complained about there not being a towel in the downstairs toilet, that didn't worry us & she also complained about not being welcomed. What more did she require for God's sake.

- Brian, May 2018
Carol November 2017

“On arrival the weather was very cold, however the heating at the cottage was not on.”

The cottage was cold although an attempt to turn the thermostat up the heating did not work. No meet and greet to show us how things worked and there was no indication in the cottage as to whether the heating was on a timer or not. Eventually we discovered that the heating did not actually come on until 4 pm. On speaking to the daughter of the owner we were given a separate key to a locked box in the cottage to over ride the heating, it would have been helpful to have been given this information when we arrived. We never did see the owners until we decided to leave early and return the keys. There desperately needs a new oven glove!

- Carol, November 2017
Andrew July 2017

“Just returned from a week at Isallt & we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”

The cottage is lovely, modern with ample space for a family & very clean. Everything which you could need is provided including a travel cot, high chair & stair gates for our toddler - thank you. The location is superb with lots to see & do within a short distance yet within easy reach of other popular towns on the coast.

The excellent standard of the cottage made it a delight to come home to. There was plenty to see and do, people were warm and friendly and the scenery was staggering - made you want to keep stopping for a photograph. We would highly recommend Isallt and we shall certainly go back again.

Gillian April 2015

“A beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need.”

A home away from home except with stunning scenery and fantastic hosts. The owners did so much to make us all feel welcome on their farm. My son enjoyed playing farmers helper feeding the cows and sheep and bottle feeding the lambs. Even the weather was kind to us and the sun shone most of the time. I would love to go back to the cottage again and would certainly recommend it to family and friends.

- Gillian, April 2015

It was lovely and quiet and the cottage was very well equipped, lovely and warm.

Ingrid July 2014

“A very friendly host.”

Very cosy and comfortable property and everything is provided. A good bed and furniture, after a good day walking you can relax on the sofa or garden furniture and at night there is a good bed to sleep in. Bathroom is well equipped with a good shower over the bath. Very friendly people overall and good views to see.

Stephanie June 2013

“The property was fantastic, the owner had thought of everything and it was a real home from home.”

Ideal for taking babies/toddlers as there were 2 stair gates, a cot & highchair. The garden is also fully enclosed but next to a shed so we often had a calf and lamb popping their heads over the fence. Do not miss the ice cream shop by the castle - Hufenfa'r Castell.

Emma August 2010

“The cottage was beautifully renovated, all the decor and furniture was top quality, even the towels!”

The farm it was situated on was lovely, the owners were very friendly and extremely welcoming. The views from the site were outstanding, the atmosphere of the place was relaxed and very child friendly. The farm is situated in a good position to access the attractions that Wales has to offer. We really couldn't fault the cottage or the holiday that we had. We really enjoyed our honeymoon even with two small boys to occupy. After the stress of the wedding it was such a relief to find such a peaceful place to relax. Thank you so much, both owners and Sykes Cottages for such a smooth and easy way to holiday.

- Emma, August 2010
