“This was our fourth visit to Swn y Mor and as before, everything was perfect.”

Spotlessly clean and everything we needed was provided. The views from the cottage are amazing and the hot tub was a fantastic way to end each day. A really lovely relaxing week. Already planning our next visit

“Great place for a short break.”

Lovely setting right on the beach. The hot tub is also a great feature. Just a shame many of the local amenities were closed for the season.

“The location is stunning and has great beach access.”

Fantastic views! The flat had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and was very clean. The bathroom is modern and was very clean. Plenty of towels. The roof in the living room leaked when it rained not only during the storm. The carpet in the dining area is in need of cleaning/replacing The hot tub was great especially at night with clear skies. Temperature was controlled by the owner and it was on the cool side. Both the double mattresses are in need of replacing. It was lovely to hear the sea at night when going to sleep and on waking! The steps up to the flat can be slippy when wet and need grip plates on them. We had a great time with local walks and time on the beach/painting from the patio. Caernarfon airport is great for lunch or coffee. Airport museum good to!

Thank you for your feedback. I gave you my mobile number to call me if you had any issues, you should have phoned me about the temperature of the hot tub or the apartment. I asked you on the Monday if you were warm enough with the heating on 2 hrs in the morning and 3.5 hours in the evening. . No rain has come in through the roof before. We are waiting for it to rain to see where the problem might be as it is a new slate roof. It is the end of the season and as I explained to you, we have had the worst year to date for damages and the filth that has been left behind for us after people leave. We only have a 5 hr window to clean, and yes I have had to scrub the carpet. We are aware of all the work that needs doing there but thank you for highlighting them in your feedback. Property Owner

“Very good out of hours service when we needed it.”

- Steve, July 2024
Jacqueline July 2024

“There were lots issues, broken plug socket in hallway, dirty George Foreman grill, dirty bathroom oven pans, dirty glass in bathroom, dirty toilet bush, mattress too small for the bed frame, headboard in other room not attached to bed, gate to use to gain to beach was not family friendly (not easy to open and close) and lastly the hot tub was not safe to use, although the own explained it was.”

The engineer who visited on Friday as we left on Saturday said it was unsafe. General maintenance of this property is poor and botched. I logged a complaint with Skye’s who contacted the owner, as the owner has not responded Skye’s will not take any of the concerns forward and chase the owner. Extremely poor service from both the owner of the property and Sykes.

- Jacqueline, July 2024

I will try and keep my response positive, as instructed by SYKES. 1.The engineer refutes your claim that he had told you that the hot tub was unsafe to use. 2.I cleaned the property with another lady prior to your stay. I cleaned the bathroom, and the kitchen. It took 4hrs for 2 of us to clean the apartment. After your stay it took 5hrs for 2 of us to clean the apartment. I suppose you didn't see the vacuum in the hallway. It strikes me as quite baffling when some people who stay at swn y mor states that it is clean and well equipped etc,and then when there is damage at the property people lie or leave early due to a so called family emergency. |sometimes reviews and feedback are a reflection of what is going on in peoples lives. You had my mobile number like everybody else that stays at Swn y Mor,but you chose to use the fact that an engineer came to fix the hot tub, which you had used all week to try and get a refund.

“This was our second stay at Swn y Mor we had Christmas 2022 here.”

“Fantastic location right on the beach with wonderful views.”

The property has everything you need. Loved relaxing in the hot tub after several walks during the week. This was our second visit here and we’re already planning to visit again. We highly recommend this wonderful property

- Alan, November 2023
Denis October 2023

“Lovely welcome on arrival from friendly helpful owner.”

Even supplied my husband with a fishing rod as he had not fetched his. The appartment itself was comfortable with everything you could need provided. Smart TV wifi etc for the darker evenings. And the location directly on the beach was perfect for a view from the decked seating area or of course the excellent hot tub. An ideal place for a family holiday. We definitely plan to return.

- Denis, October 2023
David September 2023

“Beautiful property in a terrific location.”

Hot tub was amazing, the views were second to none. The property has absolutely everything you might need and more. Don't wait to try the chippy, the food was great. A great welcome from the owner who looked after us superbly. Thanks Huw, can't wait to come back.

Dave August 2023

“We had a brilliant week here, often bathed in sunshine when the rest of Snowdonia was being rained on.”

It lived up to its name - we loved drinking Prosecco in the hot tub to the sound of the sea, eating dinner on the balcony to the sound of the sea, and falling asleep in our beds to the sound of the sea. 10/10 from us.

- Dave, August 2023
Christine August 2023

Robin April 2023

“Absolutely lovely apartment, right on the shore line at Dinas Dinlle.”

The location couldn't have been better, and the hot tub, especially at sunset was idyllic. Not too far either to reach other towns and places in North Wales and the Llyn Peninsula. There were a few niggles in the apartment (which, ironed out would make this 5 stars instead of 4 for me), and the heating just seemed to work when it wanted, but otherwise a very pleasant stay was had by all.

- Robin, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. When I spoke to you during your stay, you only mentioned 1 niggle, the tap in the kitchen. The heating was on 24hrs a day, but it is thermostatically controlled, so maybe that's why it was not on. If you would have popped into the shop downstairs, we could have looked at the heating. If we don't know we cant sort it. May i suggest if in future you have niggles to complain about ,that you communicate with the owners or managers on the day, so that they can be sorted out. thank you Property Owner
Dana April 2023

Ella August 2022

“Had a lovely week.”

Had an issue with hot tub towards the end of the holiday which was disappointing after all the money we paid. We also had our travel cot removed toward to end of our holiday for no Reason?

- Ella, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback .Pleased you had a lovely week.The issue with the hot tub was, as you are aware ,that it had a large amount of sand in it,we could not leave it on or the pump would have broken,which would have meant that we would have had to replace the hot tub. We did offer ,to empty and clean the hot tub for a fee,but you refused. As for the travel cot,we were not aware that you were using it, Property Owner

“Splendid location; friendly hosts; all facilities as promised.”

Csongor July 2022

“Perfect stay right on the beach.”

The Welsh name of the house " Swn y Mor " , which means " the sound of the sea ", fits perfectly. We felt very comfortable as a family and had a great time. The house is a pearl on the beach: spacious, lovingly furnished and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDABLE!!!

- Csongor, July 2022
