"We had booked our mini-moon at this beautiful cottage and upon arrival was greeted with "Just Married" bunting on the outside. Glenn and Ann came over with a lovely plate of warm, fresh welsh cakes and immediately made us feel so welcome with their friendly nature. After a chat about our journey and our wedding day we headed inside and I can honestly say that the photos on this site do not do the cottage justice. It is absolutely outstanding and gorgeous throughout! You simply can not fault anything about this place. It is peaceful, stunningly decorated with a modern feel which does not distract from the "cottage" feel.Champagne, roses, chocolates left on the table was a lovely touch and with a card from the owners congratulating us on our marriage, we found it emotional and very welcoming. We really can't wait to come back and enjoy this cottage once more! I did offer to buy the cottage but, thankfully for you lucky people, they declined! haha!Please book in here and we are sure you will really have a fantastic stay!"

"As an expat of North Wales I wanted somewhere to bring the family to explore Snowdonia and to visit family on the coast in July 2014. We have used Sykes Cottages before and were very happy with their service and honesty! This is a lovely, really well equipped, house with direct views of Snowdon and Yr Aran from two of the three bedrooms. Five of us and two Labradors stayed there for a week. We loved it so much we're going back in October 2014! It is perfect for local walks and to scale Snowdon (without having to car and park). There's a marvellous pub / eatery within crawling distance. Rhyd Ddu has a Welsh Mountain Railway station about 300m away from the cottage.. On that you can get to Caernarfon or Porthmadoc and places in between. Everywhere you drive is beautiful in this area. To summarise, this is a marvellous place to chill or explore and the owners deserve a pat on the back for their attention to detail!"

"After a 5 hr drive we were personally welcomed by Glenn and Ann, the owners, that live next door to our beautiful holiday home. They came over and greeted us with warm Welsh cakes, (in addition to the milk, tea, wine and chocolates waiting inside), and with a quick chat about our journey. The cottage itself was lovely and very comfortable, decorated tastefully, with finishing touches that made it feel like a home. The three of us, and our dog (and it has to be said she enjoyed exploring the field next door, that she was free to roam around), enjoyed the tranquility on the edge of a village, but also found that when we wanted to get out, most places were a short drive away. Not to mention being able to walk from the cottage to find some amazing views, just ask Glenn and Ann, they will give you all the local knowledge."

"What an absolute treat; I spent a couple of nights here in November, with my partner and 2 dogs, to celebrate my birthday. The accommodation was larger than anticipated from viewing the pictures online and we didn't think the photos did it justice: beautifully and stylishly decorated throughout, with a modern bathroom with walk-in rain shower, cosy log burning stove and stripped wooden floorboards - perfect for the dogs. The kitchen was also really well-equipped and the ipod dock was also a CD player which it doesn't say on the information; if I'd known, I would have brought CDs - we're old school like that. The 'Welcome Pack' was also more than expected, featuring Welsh cheese, milk and local beer. I would definitely visit again and would highly recommend."

"Quite simply one of the best cottages we have stayed in. We have stayed many cottages over the years, and this is amongst the best of them. The cottage is spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Particular highlights are the powerful showers and the very comfortable seating in the lounge. The cottage is situated in old farm buildings that have been converted to a very high standard - there are two cottages at present and other than that there is a house and the lodge - you are surrounded by fields with views across the countryside. Just off the main A487 which gives you easy access to many of the areas top attractions. Caernarfon is just a few minutes away."
