Peter 
“The cottage was well appointed, very clean and comfortable in peaceful, quiet surroundings.”
The owners were very helpful and friendly. We had a lovely break in a beautiful area, the seating facing the sea was a really nice touch. The welcome pack was much appreciated. We would happily stay again if looking for accommodation in this area.

Robert “This is a great property for a family holiday.”
Wonderfully situated in the countryside. The enclosed garden is perfect for small children to play in and it's decked area is ideal for eating al fresco. The property is very comfortable and clean and has everything that you need. The owners live close by and are very friendly, helpful and available for advice, if necessary. This is our second visit. Thank you very much to Mr & Mrs Widdicombe for another enjoyable stay.

Michael “We cannot fault the property on its location and views.”
There was nothing lacking in the accommodation or with the provisions in the fridge - a nice touch. The owners were very pleasant and helpful, but everything was in place so we didn’t need to bother them. We have now booked to go back again in the future.
- Michael, June 2024 -

Keith “This cottage is truly amazing it has everything you need for your stay including a brilliant welcome pack from the owners for your basic food needs inc bread butter coffee tea orange juice milk eggs wine and Welsh cakes.”
The owners are very friendly and welcoming. This is our second time here and are booking for next year too. The only one small gripe is that there is no dishwasher, but that’s not really a problem. An awsum property and fantastic holiday. Thanks.
- Keith, May 2024 -
Joanne “We absolutely loved our time staying here at this property.”
The owners were so welcoming and accommodating, with the attention to detail evident from the minute we first walked through the door. The facilities were very comfortable for all of our party and we would highly recommend it.
- Joanne, April 2024 -
Karl “We had a lovely time and unreservedly recommend this lovely place with very welcoming hosts.”
It has wonderful views, which change with the weather, and is well located for exploring Wales. A spotlessly clean, cosy and tastefully decorated property. The accessible shower made washing the little one even easier than at home. There was plenty of space for the kids to enjoy playing together, as well as find their own space. We arrived during a bank holiday weekend, so appreciated the very thoughtful welcome pack. The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked a roast dinner). For us, the facility to charge our electric car at the property was a huge plus.
- Karl, March 2024 -
Sue “As I am disabled we chose Ysgubor Yd because it had a downstairs bedroom and shower room.”
It did not disappoint. The Cottage is clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. We shall certainly be recommending this lovely place to our friends and hope to return next year.
- Sue, March 2024 -
Philippa “Lovely cottage.”
Very comfortable and clean. Very pleasant owners and nice they were nearby. Charging point for an EV a real boon. The no pets rule was another advantage as far as we were concerned. A dishwasher would have been a plus if there had been more than just the two of us maybe. More lighting in the kitchen and TV area would be an improvement on these darker evenings. Overall such a nice property. Thank you for all your hard work and we hope to return some time in the warmer months of 2024.
- Philippa, October 2023 -
Kate “What a wonderful place!”
Everything was perfect. The cottage was absolutely spotless! It had so many thoughtful touches, everything from extra blankets on the settees to ice in the freezer! The welcome pack was wonderful too! You can tell how much thought and care has gone into the place. Great location, lots of places to visit nearby. Would love to go back again
- Kate, October 2023 -
Keith “Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful cottage.”
This is surely the most stunning holiday let ever. Every conceivable convenience is supplied, even down to a loverly welcome pack of basic food requirement’s. Mr and Mrs Widdecombe are loverly people who can’t do enough for you. The only one thing missing is maybe a dishwasher but in no way is that a negative point. Thanks again and have already booked up again for next year ..
- Keith, September 2023 -

The cottage has so much character and space and the warm welcome from the owners went above and beyond.
- Jamie, September 2023 -
Karen “A lovely and exceptionally clean cottage with stunning views.”
Very generous welcome pack of goodies and warm and informative welcome from Andrea. The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the area. This is a very unspoiled, less 'commercial' part of North Wales which was perfect for us. Would recommend.
- Karen, July 2023 -
Margaret “As a disabled customer I would suggest handrails be fitted in the shower and possibly a portable shower chair, also as and when a new toilet needs to be fitted, a higher one would be best.”
- Margaret, July 2023 -

Christine “Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable quiet and peaceful.”
Hosts very helpful and pleasant. Only thing mattresses could do with toppers on them to improve comfort and maybe a portable stool in adapted shower would have helped my husband. But we are very happy with Sykes cottages and will definitely use you again.

Perfect for anyone who wants a break from a busy lifestyle in a peaceful location with everything you could need already in the cottage. We have never stayed somewhere where the hosts have thought of everything you would need in the accommodation and included it. Bedding, tea towels, towels, toilet roll and there was even tea, coffee, sugar, milk and locally sourced eggs. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very spacious with lovely hosts to match. We have already recommended to family members and will definitely stay again in the future. Thank you for an amazing break.

Well equipped, well furnished, comfortable and clean. There is a large enclosed garden at the back of the cottage. Much bigger inside than the photos show.

Deborah “Ysgybor Yd has to be one of the best kept secrets we have have ever uncovered.”
It is an extremely clean and well thought out cottage with some great touches from the hosts. the arrival package was most welcome and really appreciated after a long drive. It is spacious and very deceptive with it looking quite compact from the outside - it is not! The master bedroom is one of the largest we have stayed in and having two bathrooms is great when travelling as a group or family. The hosts are attentive without being intrusive, thank you for a great stay, we wouldnt hesitate to recommend Ysgybor Yd
- Deborah, November 2018 -
Sally “We had a fantastic week staying here.”
The house is even more lovely than it looks in the photos, and very spacious too the main bedroom is enormous. It's beautifully maintained and so clean it seems brand new. We stayed with a toddler and the owners were great at providing everything we needed for him. The garden is perfect for children, spacious but enclosed. Our son loved seeing the sheep every day opposite the barn. So much to do in the area, a brilliant place for a family holiday.

The owners even provided items such as salt, pepper, washing up liquid and cloths and lots of other little items that you usually have to remember to take with you. A perfect base to visit North Wales, or simply sit on the patio with a glass of wine and admire the sea view.
- Janice, July 2018 -

Duncan “This cottage was definitely one of the best I've stayed in.”
It's beautifully converted, and just right - many cottages are too fussy, or too crammed with odds and sods, but this has everything you need in its place, and no more. The welcome package of food was extremely thoughtful. I know North Wales well, and usually stay further into the mountains, but this time I went with my daughter and her friend who aren't into walking! They were also extremely happy with the cottage, and I must say the Wi-Fi works well, which is essential for 2 18 year olds. Porthmadog is well placed for a range of entertainments, and we were near enough; the actual location of the cottage is excellent, with views both of the sea and the hills. For those into beaches, there is a truly fantastic one at Morfa Bychan (Black Rock Sands.) Mr. Widdicombe is a very welcoming owner, and showed me the other cottage, which is equally impressive. I couldn't recommend this cottage any more highly.
- Duncan, September 2016 -

- Isabelle, August 2016 -
Darren “Property owners extremely helpful and friendly”

It's ideally situated if you just want to get away from the noise of towns and cities. We will return to this property for sure, 10/10. A big thanks to the owners for making our stay relaxing.
