Robin March 2024

“Absolutely superb.”

If it was the Olympics they would be Gold medal winners. The views from the house and balcony are stunning. It is the best equipped place we have stayed in and the best welcoming pack. Certainly would want to return

- Robin, March 2024
Adrian February 2024

“Great accommodation, spacious, comfortable and warm with great views of the mountains.”

Only a short walk to Dolgellau town, can recommend Torrent Walk Inn and Y Sospan for dinner and Roberts cafe for breakfast.

Peter October 2023

“Llety'r Bugail ticks all the boxes for a great holiday, set in a beautiful location, a very spacious and comfortable property.”

The best cottage we have stayed in throughout many many years of self catering. Everything and more has been provided by the owners. Top marks, simply the best.

- Peter, October 2023

Sharon August 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay, cottage has everything you could need and more.”

The welcome goodies was a lovely touch. Amazing views and so peaceful.

- Sharon, August 2023
Heather July 2023

“It was a fantastic place to stay.”

We had a lovely time. There were many thoughtful extra like homemade cakes and a small bottle of milk in the fridge on arrival. We would recommend this home and hope to return there in the near future.

- Heather, July 2023
Bernice June 2023

“The house was clean and comfortable.”

There was no problem accessing the keys. Within walking distance of Dolgellau, which has quite a few pubs and eateries. However, I think it should be mentioned that the walk back involves a steep hill, there is a bench at the top! There is a good Eurospar within a few minutes drive from the house and a Co-op in Dolgellau. The views from the house, especially the terrace, are stunning and make a good backdrop for breakfast or an evening drink. We would like to thank Gwyneth for the cake, Bara Brith and other goodies she kindly left us. We would certainly recommend this property for a holiday in the Snowdonia area and will no doubt be back again.

- Bernice, June 2023
Alan May 2023

“Superb flat.”

Very well equipped kitchen. Lovely views towards Cader Idris. Only one problem, with a shower door, that the owners fixed promptly. Good people to deal with. Would recommend.

- Alan, May 2023
Sarah April 2023

“The property was very clean and very well equipped.”

I really appreciated a well resourced kitchen and availability of equipment to cook with and the flask for an outdoor picnic! The welcome cakes and scones were delicious ! There were plenty of towels and extra blankets, which were useful. The cottage is located in a great spot for exploring the local area. We loved waking up to the daily view of the Cadair Idris mountain range . We can’t wait to visit again.

- Sarah, April 2023
Peter March 2023

“Fabulous property.”

On steep hill, not suitable for disabled. Beautiful views and plenty of local walks. Excellent week with our adult children.

- Peter, March 2023
Carole October 2022

“Sykes need to keep their website Updated!”

A member of our family has health issues, and it stated there was level entrance to property …..on arrival we found that there wasn’t-and where that entrance USED to be there was a well established hedge! Also one of the reasons we chose the property stated there was a ‘PS2’ + DVD player- but as I had looked through reviews an old one had said there was no PS2…. I decided to ring the owner, who was very pleasant and helpful and confirmed that since updating the tv it had been taken away as so the DVD… so we were prepared to take‘something’ else to occupy. On a wet damp afternoon it was delightful to enter the Warm and Very CLEAN property plus albeit we were only there a couple of days a lovely welcome pack….sadly we were due to move onto another Sykes property in Aberdaron of which was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! O how we wished we had stayed in the FIRST property ….it is now looking very doubtful after using Sykes for many years we shall use them in the future…..after receiving negative feedback on the very dreadful dirty 2nd house we went to we are still awaiting any correspondence after THREE days. Totally unacceptable

- Carole, October 2022
Dave September 2022

“We really enjoyed our week at Llety'r Bugail.”

The house was spotlessly clean, incredibly well equipped and had great mountain views. We hope to return soon.

- Dave, September 2022
Rebwar August 2022

“I enjoyed thanks”

- Rebwar, August 2022
Suzanne July 2022

Clean and well equipped. The views from the balcony were fabulous. Great location for walking or exploring the surrounding areas. Highly recommend

“Wonderfull cottage .”

Very clean nicely decor

- Gurminder, May 2022
Malcolm April 2022

“Couldn't fault anything on the interior of this property spacious, functional, ...”

Couldn't fault anything on the interior of this property spacious, functional, comfortable, fantastic window vistas, with very tastefull decor which is well maintained but I can't say the same for the exterior, a well established large garden which I'm sure did look magnificent and could again with some time spent on it and a little TLC required on the building exterior which sadly reduced our rating to 4 stars

- Malcolm, April 2022
David October 2021

“I can't find anything to fault about this property”

- David, October 2021
Linda October 2021

“Have stayed in this bungalow at least 5 times and love the peace and quite and the accessibility to lovely walks but moderate and strenuous as well as leisurely.”

Bungalow so lovely equipped. Don't like leather sofa as it is cold in the evening to sit on or hot and sticky in the summer. We took a fleece throw as we knew it would be cold to sit on. Otherwise, the owner is very generous leaving a tasty welcome pack.

- Linda, October 2021
Janet M September 2021

“Absolutely perfect.”

Comfortable, clean & in a perfect setting. It was our second stay there & we couldn’t recommend it more highly.

- Janet M, September 2021
Richard August 2021

“Very spacious accommodation, although there were only 4 of us it would still be great for 6 people.”

Very well equipped throughout, the kitchen had all the necessary items and more! We cycled the Mawddach Trail to Barmouth, walked up Cadar Idris, visited Portmeirion and Bala and would recommend them all. If you walk in to Dolgellau, be warned it's a steep walk back but good exercise! The delicious cake and welsh cakes on our arrival were an added bonus!

- Richard, August 2021
Rebecca August 2021

“Excellent, well equipped and superbly clean accommodation.”

We really appreciated the welcome gifts left by the owner.

- Rebecca, August 2021
Adrian July 2021

“One of the nicest holiday properties we have stayed in, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped, had everything we could possibly need.”

And the view from the front terrace is amazing! The owner had left some wonderful treats for us on our day of arrival which was a lovely surprise. The property is in a great location with beaches, lakes and mountains all within half an hour's drive. We didn't do as much walking or sightseeing as we had planned because of the heatwave, but found plenty of places to swim. Harlech beach is lovely and there's a great spot for swimming and picnicing at Llangower on Bala Lake - rocks and stones underfoot so take swim shoes. Would highly recommend the wooded walk to Dolgoch falls, and climbing Cader Idris is a must if you're feeling energetic - we took the Minffordd path which was steep in places but well marked and very beautiful, and swimming in Llyn Cau was very special. For eating out, would recommend the Cross Foxes inn 5 minutes drive out of Dolgellau, great food and very helpful, friendly staff.

- Adrian, July 2021
Stephanie July 2021

“The cottage was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed.”

We had a very active holiday with mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking and paddle boarding. There is so much to do including walks and beautiful beaches. Being greeted by fresh flowers, cake, milk and wine was so thoughtful and well received. We cannot wait to return, there is so much more to explore or to just sit on the balcony and enjoy the ever changing mountain views.

- Stephanie, July 2021
Susan July 2021

“The cottage was in immaculate condition and scrupulously clean.”

The owner left flowers and cake as a welcome gesture which was very kind. We had everything we needed including a stunning view from the balcony. Only one drawback and that was the town was more than a 10 minute walk as advertised. It was more like 25 mins down a very steep hill and the walk back up was very tough. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

- Susan, July 2021
Nick May 2021

“The cottage was lovely, very well equipped.”

The view is beautiful. There wasn't a dvd or playstation but we didn't really miss them. You need to take your own dishwasher tablets and spare toilet roll too! Overall, really lovely.

- Nick, May 2021
Jane September 2020

“Incredibly well equipped cottage, spacious and comfortable.”

Secure facility for locking up bikes. Well positioned to access cycle routes and walks. Excellent well stocked local Spar shop.

- Jane, September 2020
Jennie August 2020

“Beautiful cottage.”

Amazing setting.

- Jennie, August 2020
Terry September 2019

“Spacious and comfortable Close to town and country Host baked a delicious cake to enjoy and a good bottle of wine.”

- Terry, September 2019
Maureen September 2019

“On arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and delicious home made cakes and a pint of milk.”

The facilities are first class and everything you needed was supplied. We wish we could have stayed longer.

- Maureen, September 2019
Leigh August 2019

“Brilliant cottage high on the slopes above Dolgellau.”

Great facilities, with everything you would need for a self catering holiday. Wine, homemade chocolate cake and welsh cakes were an added luxury upon our arrival. The evenings were wonderful, great views of the mountains whilst watching the sun go down. Definitely recommend this part of the country and the cottage to others.

- Leigh, August 2019
Sally August 2019

“The place had plenty of room for everyone to relax in and the bedrooms were comfortable.”

The kitchen was very well equipped and particularly enjoyed the filter coffee maker. It was a good position to tour around from and sitting on the patio at the front looking at the mountains was wonderful. Would definately recommend this place.

- Sally, August 2019
Sarah July 2019

“The house was very comfortable and really well equipped.”

Everything was modern and clean and the wifi was good. The house was spacious enough for our group of 2 adults and 3 teenagers, so we could be together or do our own thing if we wanted. The cakes, wine and card on arrival were a really thoughtful touch. We had a great time and would be more than happy to go back again.

- Sarah, July 2019
Veronica June 2019

“The cottage/apartment was a really good base for exploring south Snowdonia.”

Very near the centre of Dolgellau very handy for the EuroSpa, eateries and pubs. The only drawback if you wanted to walk to the town, the property was at the top of a very steep hill, going down no problem but you needed to be fit to walk back! Having said that we did find a handy local taxi so at least on the evenings when we wanted to have a drink no one had to stay dry to get us back home.

- Veronica, June 2019
Ann June 2019

“There is nothing negative to say about Lletyr Bugail.”

It is really home from home. Extremely comfortable with a thoughtful and welcoming home baked cake and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Even though the weather wasn't too kind, it didn't stop us from doing everything that we planned including climbing Cader Idris. Would definitely like to return.

- Ann, June 2019
Pamela May 2019

“This was a trip down memory lane for me and my daughters as we used to go twice a year to this part of Wales.”

For the other 3 it was a new experience they really enjoyed. The comfort and location of the cottage made it all an amazing experience, despite the typical Welsh weather! Difficult to find faults with the accommodation, but given my previous stays in good and equally priced places, I would suggest toilet paper, kitchen towels, dishwasher salt should not need supplementing or buying. Also, the instructions about bin collection days are wrong as mentioned in the cottage. Fortunately a neighbour gave me the correct information. So much to do in this part of Wales for all ages (for us 70years to 22months), I could not recommend it high enough.

- Pamela, May 2019
Allen May 2019

“We, three long time friends with partners, stayed 1 week at Llety'r Bugail Dolgellau, North Wales.”

Llety'r Bugail was perfect - faultless in the true sense of the word. If we ever plan to visit North Wales again we would stay here. If anyone is reading this review and is considering staying there, and it's available - do it.. cheers Allen & Sheila Munt

- Allen, May 2019
Richard April 2019

“A wonderful place to stay.”

Superb "welcome" pack. Fabulous mountain views....Incredibly well equipped. Really didn't want to leave!

- Richard, April 2019
Janet M March 2019

“Wonderful cottage & location.”

Best we’ve ever stayed in, already booked it again for next year.

- Janet M, March 2019
Claire October 2018

“What a wonderful place, set in a beautiful location.”

Every little thing has been thought of and provided. Very much a home from home. Lovely welcome gifts greeted us on our arrival! The only tiny criticism that I have is that now that the weather is turning colder, some of the radiators could do with bleeding. We will definitely look to return in the future.

- Claire, October 2018
Lena October 2018

“Lovely spacious cottage in a great location.”

We enjoyed the walks in the surroundings and in Snowdon.

- Lena, October 2018
Sarah September 2018

“The cottage was more than well equipped, a real home from home, with a welcoming gift of a bottle wine and delicious home made cakes, just right to go with the tea or coffee, already there.”

An idyllic and very relaxing place, the mountain views and ever changing skyline line was incredible and fascinating to watch. Not far away is Barmouth by the sea which is worth a visit, Down in the little town everyone was so friendly, I loved everything about Dolgellau and would certainly go again.

- Sarah, September 2018
Lindsey September 2018

“We've been to this property before.”

The only downside is the hill up to it. You need to be fit if you're going to walk but with a car it's no trouble. If you have fine weather (we didn't) there is a lovely terrace on which you can sit and have a drink and enjoy the view of Cadair Idris.

- Lindsey, September 2018
David September 2018

“The cottage was extremely comfortable and well furnished.”

The location is ideal for travelling around Snowdonia.

- David, September 2018
Ian August 2018

“An extremely well-equipped cottage in a very conveniently placed location for shops and walks.”

The cake, bottle of wine and carton of milk on arrival were a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. Plenty of room for parking. Set in a quiet position, not overlooked and with a lovely view of Cadair Idris. Nice patio for relaxing and eating outside. Thoroughly recommended.

- Ian, August 2018
Richard July 2018

“Happy with the service, everything as described.”

I've not scored you as a '10' and 'Exceeded Expectations' largely because of the amount of marketing spam you generate. Although it's easy to filter out, it then takes a bit of attention to find the emails you DO need to read (eg how to find the keys to the property). In respect of the cottage itself, I could not praise it highly enough. It was brilliant: spotlessly clean, well maintained, well equipped and well located. The owners left us a welcome package, which was much appreciated. Would seriously consider rebooking the same place.

- Richard, July 2018
Sara April 2018

“We would highly recommend this cottage”

- Sara, April 2018
Clare October 2017

“A really lovely cottage.”

Very spacious and really well equipped. Great location. We would definitely go back.

- Clare, October 2017

“Extremely well equipped cottage, spacious, comfortable and a convenient location.”

Great views from the terrace.

Barry April 2017

“Very well appointed and spacious cottage complete with welcome pack, always a nice touch.”

High standard of furnishing. Good location for the town and the many walks and activities in the area. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Barry, April 2017
Susan October 2016

“Delightful cottage in a superb location.”

Enjoyed very much the friendly welcome pack of victoria sponge, bottle of wine, pint of milk and some lovely flowers. Very thoughtful of the owner and very much appreciated. Regrettably the dishwasher failed the first evening and was out of action for the rest of the week. This did not spoil our week. When reported to the owner they did come out and left a note keeping us informed of the situation.

- Susan, October 2016
Neil October 2016

“Excellent location, high standard of fixtures and fittings, very comfortable beds, very clean and excellent hosts.”

A real home from home with fully equipped kitchen, from cutlery, to bottle opener, to carving set for the Sunday roast.

- Neil, October 2016
Duncan July 2016

“We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage, it is beautifully and tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean.”

The kitchen is large and very well-equipped. There are spectacular mountain views from the lounge, bedrooms and patio.

- Duncan, July 2016
Keith June 2016

“The cottage was wonderful!”

The standard of cleanliness was very high and they obviously take time to ensure the property is prepared properly for guests arriving for their holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to any of my friends or family.

- Keith, June 2016
Linda June 2016

“The views from cottage were amazing & sitting on the balcony in the sun was lovely.”

We found the cottage to be very roomy and comfortable.

- Linda, June 2016
Heather May 2016

“The fantastic views from the cottage were a delight.”

We felt welcome and at home straight away. The cottage is situated in a great area with fantastic scenery all around. We cannot wait to come back.

- Heather, May 2016
David April 2016

“The cottage was of a very high standard with tasteful décor and furnishings and everything provided for.”

We especially appreciated the books of local walks. The area was delightful with beautiful scenery, excellent walking, two good restaurants and a good pub.

- David, April 2016
Ann March 2016

“Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.”

There is everything you need and more in the cottage. The beds were excellent as was the cleanliness of the cottage. We could find no fault with it!

- Ann, March 2016
Jean September 2015

“Everything was first class and in perfect order - could not have been better.”

Should definitely be 5 star.

- Jean, September 2015
Wendy September 2015

“We have stayed in many properties over the years but this was one of the best, would definitely recommend to friends.”

An excellent property with everything you need, especially the kitchen which was very well equipped.

- Wendy, September 2015
Victoria June 2015

“An extremely clean, well equipped Cottage and a wonderful welcome.”

This Cottage is set in an amazing location with fantastic views.

- Victoria, June 2015
Charlie June 2015

“This was our 2nd visit to this lovely cottage.”

The cottage is well stocked with everything required; crockery, cutlery, plus information leaflets to help plan your days out in this lovely part of the country. This is the best holiday cottage we have visited in 15 years, hence why we returned, and is a credit to the owners, to whom we say "thanks again for a brilliant week."

- Charlie, June 2015
Aidan April 2015

“Our holiday was excellent, it is a perfect holiday home in a stunning location.”

- Aidan, April 2015
Michael March 2015

“We would strongly recommend staying here.”

The house feels like home, immaculate, spacious, lots of utensils for cooking, TV, games, books, lots of local guides and suggestions, incredible views of Cader Idris mountain. Upon arrival there was a beer, bottle of wine, milk, tea, coffee, Welsh cakes and a cake for us. Excellent location - close to the Eurospar which has a really good selection of ingredients for cooking. Close to the centre of Dolgellau so you can easily walk into town for a night out. The local area is full of things to do from bike riding, hiking, good restaurants, castles, waterfalls, gold mines and much more.

- Michael, March 2015
Linda October 2014

“Fantastic property, ideally situated for exploring this beautiful area.”

- Linda, October 2014
Thomas September 2014

“Plenty of information: brochures, maps, eating recommendations provided.”

Access to the property was fine for us - but would be difficult for a disabled person.

- Thomas, September 2014
Johne September 2014

“One of the best properties we have stayed at, it felt like home and we felt sad leaving such a lovely house.”

The property was excellent and cannot be faulted and the welcome pack left for us was very much appreciated. The owners have done a lovely job with the house, would go back soon.

- Johne, September 2014
Ey August 2014

“We really loved our stay in Dolgellau.”

The property was excellent, it felt really homely and the scenery is outstanding. We will definitely return one day to this house.

Perfect.

Louk May 2014

“The house was really great.”

Clean and spacious. From here you can explore the area properly.

A home away from home. It has had everything we needed. Great location. Would definitely stay here again.

“An excellent property and location.”

If we were the sort of people to return to the same place in future years, this would be it.

- David, August 2013

The welcome was as warm as ever and everything was perfect. We hope to return again in the not too distant future.

Great views and close proximity to town centre.

Ray September 2012

“Excellent property, well maintained.”

Nice welcome pack.

- Ray, September 2012
Ann September 2012

“Fabulously appointed house with incredible views.”

The house was amazingly well equipped, and we couldn't have wanted for anything. To be welcomed by a home-made sponge cake made us feel very welcome. Why this house isn't Five Star is beyond me.

- Ann, September 2012
Richard August 2012

“A very well equiped and comfortable property.”

The welcoming flowers, wine and cake were much appreciated. We also liked the fact that shower gel, washing up liquid etc were provided.

- Richard, August 2012
Sue June 2012

“The house was wonderful with large, clean rooms and great views.”

The covered area under the balcony and the workshop were ideal on rainy days for sorting out wet clothes and tinkering with bikes etc. This is a great place for outdoor activities and I would definitely recommend it.

- Sue, June 2012
Paul October 2011

“The welcome cake, flowers and wine were a nice touch and set our holiday off on the right note.”

The cottage was very well appointed and together with its easy access to Dolgellau and the surrounding areas it makes it hard to beat.

Christine July 2011

“Good views of the mountain range Cader Idris from the balcony and very handy for the local golf course.”

- Christine, July 2011
M L June 2011

An ideal property for our group of granddad and grandma, son and daughter in law and two young grandsons.
