“Lovely cottage on a lovely working farm loved listening and seeing the cows.”

Very friendly owners. We had a problem on our first night with the tv so next morning Lynsey came to sort the tv and as we got back that day it was done

Rachael September 2024

“Overall a nice property in a great location.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, however there were a few niggles; the travel cot (which we requested) was missing from the property when we arrived, the tv remote was not working so we couldn’t use the tv for a day until it was replaced, and we discovered that one of the bedside draws had been left full of used tissues.

Andrea August 2024

“We have stayed 4 times now and love it.”

In the past we have had oven cloth and teatowel provided, so didn't take any, luckily we don't do any cooking while away, just have breakfast. Was also looking forward to the little food basket that we have got in the past, but the wine was a nice touch. Thank you for a lovely stay and we will be back soon.

“What a beautiful place.”

...a real home from home with it being on a working farm there was something going on all the Time, the area was great too everyone was so kind and friendly, we loved it so much we have booked it again in September. Allan and Karen Jackson

Chris October 2023

“Had a great stay at this beautiful cottage and will definitely return again.”

Only thing I could fault was that the kitchen could’ve been more equipped. Ie oven trays, washing up liquid, tea and coffee. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

- Chris, October 2023
Wayne September 2023

“Nice place at a reasonable price.”

- Wayne, September 2023
Sharon September 2023

“This was our third year in a row at this lovely cottage.”

It is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everyone on the farm is very friendly too. It’s an excellent base for exploring North Wales with easy access to the A55 Expressway and there is plenty to do in the area. We will definitely return sometime, we really love our holidays here.

- Sharon, September 2023
Andrew August 2023

“Lovely stay!”

We left having had a brilliant week in a fantastic rural property. A few small bits of feedback. (1) Wi-Fi was very intermittent with none of the smart TV services connecting (2) The showers were incredibly noisy downstairs (3) Not enough glasses (4) Very blunt knives in the kitchen - an accident waiting to happen (5) No instructions for the appliances - we worked them out through trial and error but instructions would have been easier. None of the above affected our stay very much at all.

“No hanging facilities in front bedroom small wardrobe would be good.”

- Susan, June 2023
Dean May 2023

“Cottage was in a nice location but lacked general items.”

No trays or oven proof dishes to use the oven kettle burnt your hand as it leaked steam. Through the handle. Some doors had warped so didn’t close. One bedroom had a skylight with no shade so room was full of light at 5 in the morning Had leak on first morning reported this but next they I’m mopping this up before breakfast Final straw was ants all over the living room With a small baby this is not acceptable when I informed the landlord we were leaving there was no sorry just I will have to have a look at it.

- Dean, May 2023
Gillian March 2023

“Such a fabulous place we have already booked again for next year which is a first for us !”

Very comfortable sitting room, bedrooms and well equipped kitchen with the only shortfall being no baking trays or ovenproof dishes.

- Gillian, March 2023
Janet November 2022

“The cottage was in a perfect spot to explore the North Wales coast.”

We enjoyed walks up Great & Little Orme, Aber Falls, around Betws-y-coed, Conwy Castle & of course Llandudno prom. The cottage itself was ‘home from home’, perfect for 2 friends to enjoy peace & quiet, each with our own personal space of double bedroom with en-suite, a well equipped kitchen & dining area and a cosy sitting room with a large TV (for the football!). The supermarket in Abergele was perfect to stock the week’s supply. A surprise basket of goodies was so appreciated on arrival. We would certainly recommend these cottages for families, two couples or like us two friends wanting to visit the area. Thankyou for our ‘chilled out’ stay in your lovely home.

“A really nice property in a stunning location.”

Owners were really helpful and friendly.

- Ronald, October 2022
Sharon September 2022

“This is our second year visiting this lovely cottage.”

It is finished to a very high standard, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We love staying on a family run working farm. We enjoyed our welcome pack of local produce once again. There is plenty to do in the area and there are books, games etc to borrow too. We’ve already booked for next year!

- Sharon, September 2022
Terry August 2022

“We (both families) had a great stay at Bwthyn Y Wennol.”

I contacted Catrin later than I should have done (day before arrival) to confirm on arrival time etc and she was very understanding and helpful. The rate was extremely competitive, the rooms/bathrooms were very clean and all of the required amenities were in place. I would certainly use Bwthyn Y Wennol again, highly recommended!

- Terry, August 2022
Mark July 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay, owners very welcoming and friendly, property was clean and nicely decorated.”

Only thing we would suggest for comfort wise, would be new sofa's, as the present one is probably past its best

- Mark, July 2022
Alga May 2022

“General cleanliness excellent and good showers.”

Decent t.v. Cooker etc very good. Lacks a little in pots and pans but we coped ok. After we bought a chopping board and a baking tray. So the cottage has those now. Could do with a frying pan as the existing one is small and for some reason I never fathomed doesn’t conduct heat on the electric hob . All in all a lovely place to stay. The flying displays from the swallows was delightful and so nice to see the calf’s in the paddock.

- Alga, May 2022
Janes May 2022

“Cottage was really nice very quiet area and close to everything we wanted to see definitaly will be going back”

- Janes, May 2022
Tammy March 2022

“The cottage is done to a very high standard.”

Lots of added extras which was really nice the only thing o would have liked was baking trays as there was only one but apart from that we had a fantastic time and would definitely return

- Tammy, March 2022
Mark December 2021

“The property is lovely and was very clean.”

The owners provided us with a lovely Christmas basket of goodies and milk, tea etc was provided as well. The only issues were there was a leak from the shower pump and a dripping tap in the kitchen and it wasn't possible to link up to the smart TV. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

- Mark, December 2021

Nigel October 2021

“The accommodation was lovely and the welcome basket was extremely generous and thoughtful .”

One small thing the foam and rubberised mattress protector on the beds was a bit uncomfortable to sleep on . Overall a very peaceful and nice place to stay

- Nigel, October 2021
Sharon September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage.”

It had everything we needed, was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had never stayed on a working farm before and enjoyed the experience. The welcome basket of local produce a lovely touch. There is plenty to do in the area and games, jigsaws and books were provided too. We will definitely book again and would highly recommend Bryn Ffanigl Ganol

- Sharon, September 2021
Mary Elizabeth September 2021

“Lovely cottage and location.”

Really enjoyed our stay. Some of the saucepans could do with an upgrade.

- Mary Elizabeth, September 2021
Marian August 2021

“Very friendly hosts, more space for large family get together than expected.”

more outside space for children to play.( Some of the cottages lacked simple items eg chopping boards, colander,baking trays). It worked extremely well as we had booked all 4 cottages and moved easily, using baby alarm enabled us to all meet together for the evening

- Marian, August 2021
Noel June 2021

“Clean and cosy cottage in a lovely, peaceful location.”

- Noel, June 2021
Richard May 2021

“Great holiday cottage on a working farm which the kids loved watching the passing tractors and farm animals, safe location for the kids to play outside in front of the cottage.”

Perfect location for exploring the coastline and many beaches of North Wales.

- Richard, May 2021
Sandra September 2020

“The plumbing very noisy and the fan in the bathroom whined for ages after bathroom used on the back bedroom which echoed and reverberated in the front bedroom.”

However it was lovely and warm when the heating was on so would be comfortable to stay in in the winter, just need to get the bathroom problems sorted

- Sandra, September 2020
Rhona August 2020

“The cottage is generally clean and comfortable and the owners helpful.”

Kitchen well stocked with utensils etc and a very useful welcome basket kindly left for us. The only reason it didn’t score top marks was that the mattresses were very uncomfortable, particularly the one in the back bedroom. Take your own mattress topper and you won’t go wrong.

- Rhona, August 2020
Mike August 2020

“The cottage is in the grounds of a farm, which is very tranquil with birds, sheep and horses surrounding the cottage.”

The cottage is pretty and has all the amenities, I loved it!

- Mike, August 2020
David July 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.”

The location itself is beautiful, set on the farm and being able to walk around with the children to see the animals in the fields was just lovely. The views for miles were gorgeous. Thankfully we had some lovely warm evenings and were able to sit outside to eat and enjoy the scenery. The cottage itself was very homely and spacious for a family of 4. Very nicely decorated and the bedrooms were perfect and a good size. The location is perfect distance from beaches, many tourist attractions and lots of countryside walks. The only slight niggles we have are that the sky light in one of the bedrooms did not have a blind which made the room very bright and difficult for the children to sleep and woke very early. The window was far too high to attach a travel blind. The sofas were also quite uncomfortable and the WiFi was very intermittent. Communication with the owners via the mobile number in the welcome book was poor as we texted for a fresh bed sheet due to one of us becoming ill, and had no response. The store room could also do with an update as the Children’s games were incomplete and the tumble dryer hard to get to due to too much in its way. Like I said these were only slight niggles for us as we loved our stay here and will definitely consider returning. It’s an ideal place to rent all 4 cottages for large family gatherings which is what we would consider next. We had a brilliant time, thank you!

- David, July 2020
N August 2019

“Lovely location (enjoyed visiting the ponies) and clean, well equipped property.”

Absolutely loved the shower but not the oven (didn't seem to warm up well). We had a lovely time and found our property very comfortable - the only thing I'd say is that we had a sky light in our bedroom with no blind/curtain (possibly as it was very high) the early morning light streamed into our room at 5am ish and we just didn't sleep well as a result. When I reported it, the owners said they would look into a blind but that no one else had ever complained.

- N, August 2019
Alan June 2019

“The property details did not mention that the beds are only 4'6", which mad sleeping rather uncomfortable.”

If we book with you in future we would need to know the size of the beds.

- Alan, June 2019
Roger June 2019

“In that we meet up with our friends once a year, using Sykes Cottages, we were really thrilled that both couples could utilise a double bedroom en suite.”

It really is important to us to have two individual bathrooms.

- Roger, June 2019
Graham May 2019

“Lovely conversion on a working farm, very comfortable and well appointed.”

Nice welcome pack and friendly owners. Ideal for exploring North Wales.

- Graham, May 2019
Janvier April 2019

“We would have liked to have had better hanging space in the bedroom without the wardrobe; a shelf in the shower to put shampoo bottles etc.”

; a plug socket by the mirror so that I could dry my hair; a proper chopping board; some sharp knives or a knife sharpener; a mattress topper to make the bed more comfortable; a small side table by the front door - or a shelf - for keys, etc.. we liked the peace and quiet and the property in general. The heating was efficient and good as were the showers

- Janvier, April 2019
Alan October 2018

“The accommodation was excellent and all as described.”

Great location for touring North Wales. The only minus was a lack of communication from the owner after we left a mobile voicemail message, regarding a minor problem, left on our arrival day, to which we received no response at all.

- Alan, October 2018
Mj October 2018

“The cottage was amazing in lovely surroundings.”

All our needs were met, everything was catered for. Would definitely visit again and would highly recommend.

- Mj, October 2018
Bernard September 2018

“If you are over 6ft the beams might be a problem.”

Otherwise a very enjoyable experience, with the plus of a warm welcome from Mrs Jones.Property found easily, but access road a bit confined.

- Bernard, September 2018
Shellina May 2018

“Beautiful cottage and the area was very picturesque.”

, would definitely recommend. Welcome basket was a lovely surprise.

- Shellina, May 2018
Peter March 2018

“Cottage was not initially very easy to find, but that was actually part of the excitement.”

At the centre of a farm, which was interesting, but there was not a constant parade of cows past the house, which is something we have experienced elsewhere. The cottage had been converted and fitted out to a very high standard indeed, which was impressive.

- Peter, March 2018
Brian October 2017

“We had a pleasant surprise on arrival with a lovely welcome pack that was thoroughly enjoyed.”

A slight problem with the toilet was quickly sorted by the friendly owners.

- Brian, October 2017
Geraldine September 2017

We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone holidaying in North Wales!

Wilbert October 2016

“The only area we would comment on was the settee in living room, was not as comfortable as it could have been.”

- Wilbert, October 2016
Richard September 2016

“The cottage is beautiful, very well equiped and very homely.”

The inside decor is excellent and it was great to have an ensuite for each bedroom. The outside area was also lovely. Very clean and tidy considering it is a farm. Conversation to 4 self contained cottages excellently done. The welcome goodly basket was also very well received and a nice thought. Lots to see and visit in the surrounding areas. Although it was a long way travel for us down in Wiltshire, our friends coming from Leicester it was worth it and we had a super holiday. Thank You.

- Richard, September 2016
Ann September 2016

“The countryside surrounding this property was beautiful.”

The owners were helpful and friendly as were the neighbours. Although the property was on a farm it was very peaceful. There was a small village nearby with a small shop . Next to the shop was the local chippy which we used on our last evening. The location is within easy reach of the beach and only a few miles to various other attractions.
