“Extremely disappointing stay here.”

Mouse droppings under the sink on arrival. Sugar spilt in the cupboard. Dirty oven and microwave. Generally unclean with cobwebs and dust under the bed. TLC needed due to wear and tear. Not equipped for five guests. Beds uncomfortable, woke up aching. Not a relaxing stay that I hoped for. Hospitality needs work all round. Complaint logged with Sykes.

Katharine July 2024

“A fabulous cottage, the pictures don't do it justice as it is larger than they make it appear.”

Cottage was clean and well equipped with plenty of everything. Dishwasher and washing machine were much appreciated. Locality was great for exploring North Wales with plenty of places available within an hour's drive. A great holiday.

- Katharine, July 2024
Joan Marie June 2024

“We had a lovely three generation holiday at Stabal-y-Gwedd.”

The holiday home is very comfortable and well equipped in beautiful rural surroundings yet easy to get out and about to lots of places such as Llandudno, Conwy and Colwyn Bay. We would happily return and would recommend for a family holiday.

Andrew November 2023

“Only problem was key not in place on arrival and heating not on.”

Quickly and apologetically resolved once got through on phone.

Christopher September 2023

“A comfortable, well appointed cottage.”

Our second stay here enjoyed it as much as the first. Peaceful location (just remember it is a working farm which just adds to the experience) with Abergele not far away. Nice welcome pack. Would recommend for a holiday

Our cottage was much bigger then our daughters that was the other end, she thought is it possible to swop over the bunk beds for future , in our shower room (ensuite)there isn't enough space to put anything around sink really needs a bigger sink, black out blinds would be really good, we had to put towels over curtains, maybe more cleaning stuff,

Gillian June 2023

“We were very pleased with our accommodation.”

It was ideal for a family. It was quiet and close to all the places we wanted to visit. Any issues were quickly addressed.

- Gillian, June 2023
Gillian June 2023

“Lovely cottage in a quiet setting.”

The set up suited us well as two couples. The only downside was the lack of cooking equipment - very small frying pan, no oven trays. We improvised with what was available but if a little more thought was given to how the kitchen is equipped it would have made a big difference. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable.

- Gillian, June 2023
Claire May 2023

“The cottage was lovely.”

Just a couple of comments - the size of the bath towels were ok for women, but very small for men. The frying pan was small and old and could do with replacing.. its not big enough when cooking for 5 people. There's a bright light outside the front bedroom window which made the bedroom very light at night... is it possible to switch off? All in all though thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

- Claire, May 2023
David March 2023

“Very relaxing stay.”

Accommodation had everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack was a pleasant surprise. We will definitely come again. Very convenient location for visiting the North Wales coast. Excellent value for money.

- David, March 2023
Ian October 2022

“We had a lovely time at the cottage, the only thing I would say is, we could have done with a bigger sauce pan, especially as the cottage holds up to 5 people and found the largest pan not to be big enough.”

- Ian, October 2022
Carl August 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

Everything was perfect. A bit beter WiFi for the kids and a larger fridge freezer would have made it a 5 star rating.

- Carl, August 2022
John July 2022

“We enjoyed our stay.”

We had an issue with the water pressure but it was dealt with efficiently and very promptly. You list about the possibility of noise being a working farm but we heard very little, apart from your very friendly dog

- John, July 2022
Rod July 2022

“Nicely appointed barn conversion ideal for 5.”

Two bathrooms a bonus. Location excellent for visiting Snowdonia or North Wales coast. Point lost as views from windows do not do it justice but it is where it is. Very clean and comfortable.

- Rod, July 2022
Lurleen February 2022

“This property is exactly as it states and is in a beautiful location, located on a working farm.”

The owners are on-site, exceptionally helpful, and friendly. One of the nicest properties we've ever rented there isn't enough stars to rate it. No faults with this house at all, it's stunning.

- Lurleen, February 2022
John November 2021

“Lovely place to stay, gorgeous countryside, very quiet and peaceful.”

Great for visiting the North Wales coast and Snowdonia. Property had excellent heating - very warm, and plenty of hot water. As it is a barn conversion, floors and doors all a bit creaky, but didn't distract from a fab time.

- John, November 2021
Christopher October 2021

“Lovely comfortable cottage with very friendly hosts.”

Had a very relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the country. Would book to stay again.

- Christopher, October 2021
Ann September 2021

Janet August 2021

“The cottage was lovely.”

Very clean and comfortable. However the kitchen lacked crockery, ie only 4 mugs and one was chipped and there were only 5 glass tumblers. We managed as there were only 3 of us but the cottage does sleep 6! Also the microwave door melted so we couldn’t use it. I contacted the owner but they didn’t respond.

- Janet, August 2021
Marian August 2021

“The welcome hamper was amazing, space for children to play outside great.”

Hosts very helpful and friendly, the children loved watching the cows run to the barn opposite, walk to the local summit really nice too

- Marian, August 2021
Rachel June 2021

“A lovely place to stay.”

Clean and tidy accommodation with everything you need. Lovely welcome basket from the owners too. Didnt hear any noise from the farm. Our daughter loved having the horses at the end of the drive to visit each day. Close to lots of lovely places to visit, a great base for your holiday. Would definitely stay again.

- Rachel, June 2021
Pauline June 2021

- Dean, August 2018
Christine June 2018

“The cottage was lovely with everything we needed, even a welcome basket with tea bags, milk, cheese, welsh cakes and home made chutney to greet us.”

The brochure mentioned some noise being a working farm but this didn't start till 8.00am each morning and finished by 10pm at night so plenty of time to get some sleep as it was then very quiet.

- Christine, June 2018
Susan June 2018

“The cottage was fantastic and in a great location, it had everything you could possible want for a week self catering.”

The welcome basket was much appreciated especially the home made chutney which was excellent as indeed were the eggs. We could not fault it, we started a visitors book to help the next people know places to we had visited and places we had eaten as we find such things an excellent help when deciding where to go and especially to eat out. A fabulous holiday in a fabulous place. Susan

- Jonny, January 2017
Nigel September 2016

“Location - a little out in the country for us.”

Too far to walk anywhere, ie pub & shops

- Nigel, September 2016
Daniella February 2016

“The owners were tremendous, helpful and friendly.”

They took the time and trouble to explain about the farm to us. I have never met nicer or more accommodating owners. The location is perfect, near everything and far enough to be in the country. I cannot recommend this place enough.

- Daniella, February 2016
Karen March 2015

“Lovely place to stay.”

- Katherine, August 2014
Walter July 2014

“The cottage is a lovely barn conversion with a well laid out and comfortable interior.”

The location is nice and rural but only a few minutes drive to local amenities.The owners had provided a nice welcome pack including wine, bara-brith and some lovely home made chutney.

- Walter, July 2014
Sue May 2014

“Fantastic location, away from the hustle and bustle, it enables you to experience Welsh farm living.”

My daughters loved seeing the horses, Shetland pony, the calves and Snowy the farm cat. All this helped to make the stay more memorable. The cottage is lovely, just as it looks in the pictures; we all relaxed easily and it felt like home from home. The owners were really helpful and left a welcome basket of goodies which was well received. The cottage is a great base to explore the North of Wales and is handy for the A55 which takes you to the coastal resorts. I am already recommending this to friends.

- Sue, May 2014
Amy October 2013

“We had a fantastic holiday.”

The cottage is beautiful and is surrounded by lovely countryside. It is situated in a remote area away from the towns and villages, but only 10 minutes to the nearest town for Tesco's.

- Amy, October 2013

- Bettina, June 2013
Mr Beresford June 2013

“Excellent hospitality.”

Peace and quiet. Plenty of space. Very accessible to places of interest in North Wales. One of the best places we have stayed in and owners are to be congratulated.

- Mr Beresford, June 2013
Nicola June 2013

“The owners have converted this property to a very high standard.”

It was beautifully furnished and decorated, luxury accommodation. The farm is in a peaceful location but only a few miles from lovely beaches and the coastline of Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. There was a lovely welcome basket left as well full of local food. All in all a fantastic holiday and we will definitely return.

- Nicola, June 2013
Michael May 2013

“Great cottage well positioned for visits to most attractions in Snowdonia.”

- Michael, May 2013
Carol April 2013

“The cottage was in a peaceful location.”

Llandudno, Conwy, Snowdonia were relatively close by so we didn't have to spend too much time travelling by car. This is the third time we have used Sykes Cottages and have always been impressed by the high standard of the properties.

- Carol, April 2013
Katharine March 2013

“The property owners, who lived in the farm next door, could not have been more helpful.”

We were invited to help feed the baby lambs and calves one evening. The property itself was one of the best we've stayed at - we would highly recommend it and will probably go back again.

- Katharine, March 2013
Kay October 2012

“Great cottage, very well presented and in a great location.”

Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Perfect place for couples and families alike to use as a base to relax or tour the many attractions all within an hour of here.

- Annette, June 2012
Trevor May 2012

“We had a fantastic stay here, it was very quiet considering we were right next to the working farm.”

The family kindly left us drinks and food on our arrival which is always a nice touch. The overall appearance of the cottage was great and had a warm, homely feeling to the place. Would highly recommend. Having a car is recommended as you're in the middle of the country! I would go back in a heartbeat!
