What our customers say about their holidays

Carianne - Verified booking

Letâs start with the pros- great location and stunning views.

Large spacious bedrooms and overall spacious property. Cons- Cleanliness is far from satisfactory. I will usually keep my shoes off inside my home, but with this property my socks were so filthy after removing shoes, I kept them on downstairs. Cobwebs everywhere and dust etc. The house felt grubby and unkept. I asked Sykes for the beds to all be made up as doubles, they had not done this and denied I had ever called. I have the call log as proof of this. We then had to go out and buy a double sheet to do this ourselves. In terms of crockery, staying over Christmas especially, meant we had to go out and buy more pans etc, No wine glasses and 1 Prosecco flute. The only glasses provided were short tumblers, not even big enough for a decent glass of squash. Very poorly stocked kitchen. There is only a slimline dishwasher which isnât great for this size of property, however as there are only 7 large plates, 7 bowls,7 side plates, 7 forks, 7 knives etc then the slimline works fine and is just used multiple times a day. More crockery and a larger dishwasher would be more cost effective. There is no washing machine or dryer, though there is a gap in the units in which they could be placed, instead this just makes the kitchen look unfinished with a gap showing a void, where there is no skirting and just gaps to the brick wall. Fridge space is limited with 1/3 fridge and 2/3 freezer, poorly thought out for a holiday let. Large bedrooms but only a hanging rail and no wardrobes, no drawers in which to put away clothes. For weekend stays, this wouldnât be an issue but those staying longer may want to unpack. 2 large bathrooms but only one 800mm by 800mm shower cubicle for 7 persons, the first floor bathroom could accommodate a shower over the bath and the ground floor would have benefited from a larger shower, my 9 month pregnant daughter could barely fit through the gap due to the corner opening doors. There was also no mirror in this bathroom. When using the toilet on the ground floor it is not fixed securely to the floor and moves from side to side. The external steps are extremely slippery and dangerous and one of our party fell down the first flight. They really need to be maintained in terms of jet washing off the algae. For the final straw, all rubbish is required to be removed from the property. With a 6 hour drive ahead and Christmas rubbish from 7 people this made for a very stressful morning hunting around locally for bins that could take the rubbish. We would have never been able to fit that amount of rubbish into the car, nor would it have been a very pleasant drive home to do so. Day before departure, I was keen to give the place a hoover and found a Henry with no accessories, just a hose, so was unable to do so. Would be a good idea to provide guests with this option. I asked the owner if they were elsewhere in the property and was advised to use the dustpan and brush. On the final morning whilst opening the oven the handle came away in my hand. I contacted the owner who asked me to ask the neighbour for a screwdriver to fix it myself, I had already checked out by this point. Staying in multiple properties over the years at Christmas I would have at least expected a tree to be up, this was disappointing but more of a nice to have. Overall great house with great potential but felt very unloved, dirty and little thought to the holiday let useage.

Yr Hel Felin is a lovely property full of character in a quiet little village but close to bigger villages/towns.

We went during a week of 30+ degree heat and because of the huge thick walls the property was lovely and cool! A nice welcome back was waiting including milk, biscuits and some lovely lemon cakes as well as the tea, coffee, etc in the cupboard. The property also has excellent WiFi throughout which we weren't expecting given its remote nature. Inside the property it's full of original features which make it fascinating. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need, good quality pans, trays, roasting tins, cutlery, cups, etc and a good sound system on the ground floor kitchen/dining area. The beds are super comfy with good quality mattresses and good sized bedrooms. The top floor is where the cottage earns it's extra stars! Electric piano, a guitar, a pool table (even a supply of chalk for the queues) and a good sized TV with an outstanding sound system. Many a game of pool were enjoyed (undefeated, just leave that here so it's immortalised) and a film or two at night. The property also comes with loads of board games, jigsaws, DVDs, blue rays, cds and books. Everything you could wish for! Outside the garden pleasantly surprised us with the size. It's not really one you could have a game of football in but the kids loved running up the stairs, over the top, and down the sloped path. Plus, the top of the garden is lovely and shaded by the trees, with excellent views. The picnic table on the patio is a nice touch and allows you to have a nice meal or drink whilst watching the cows! A children's playground, with a full size football net is about a 5 minute walk away, and a couple of minutes further down the road is The Grouse Inn (award winning pub) and probably the best bit, the River. We spent time in the River, swimming and playing, virtually every day, kids absolutely loved it (and me!). Corwen (6 minute drive) has a well stocked Nisa supermarket and plenty of take aways. Llangollen is a 16 minute drive which has plenty of shops, river activities, horse drawn canal boats and the all important Oggies and Ice Cream! Worth a visit to the stunning aqueduct too!! Loved this place, the area, the locals and will definitely be back in the future.

Lovely interesting property.

Only ânegativesâ were, it was very dark on the ground floor (probably lovely and cool when itâs hot weather though because of the thickness of the walls), to relax in the tv/games room (a wonderful room) means carrying cups of tea etc up and down two flights of stairs all the time and the third childâs bedroom/bunk beds is very small (we didnât need this but note if you do - it is a room for sleeping only, no play room for kids at all!!) BUT - there were a LOT of positives - interesting, plenty of room, comfortable, really well stocked/equipped with all the general bits and bobs for cooking/cleaning etc. plus lots more, lovely situation, nice and quiet, great for dogs being hard floors with rugs on every level, (though we had to be really careful on the stairs as being wood they were very slippery for our two - so we had them on a lead up and down stairs every time), garden not dog secure but nice outlook and had the weather been warm we would have sat out at the table to the rear. Tip - if you have dogs and take them out last thing, youâll need a torch as itâs pitch black outside (and yes, there is a torch in one of the drawers - well equipped again), although we took our own. We will be back in the area within 2 months and would have stayed here again but we need a Saturday to Saturday booking for this next visit which unfortunately would be an astronomical cost for this place as we would be charged for two full weeks as itâs only let Friday to Friday - a bit of flexibility and reasonable pricing would be helpful here!

Tony - Verified booking

The cottage was in a lovely situation and very comfortable BUT there were several things not to our satisfaction.

The small shower unit in the main bedroom was a bit archaic with the water ranging from hot to cold without much notice. The grouting is in a bad state of repair and needs renewing urgently. A number of the taps in the cottage could do with a dose of WD40 to free them up. Likewise a number of the controls on the radiators are very stiff and some will not move. The directions to the cottage are a bit misleading and could do with a re-write. There was confusion when we tried to contact the person on the confirmation booking form regarding collection of the keys. There was no reply and we had to contact Sykes HQ for information. It was then we were informed "Oh there is a box on the wall where you need to put in a code number to access the keys" How were we to know this The instructions for the television were very confusing and we had to ask the lady who helps to maintain the cottage for help on several occasions. Even then we could not delete the subtitles. A shelf in the fridge kept falling down and we ruined a jar of marmalade because of this as it crashed to the floor. It seemed that one of the bits of plastic that kept it in the fridge door had previously been damaged prior to our visit. Despite these problems we enjoyed our stay and the lady who helped with the tv was most helpful.

Fron Haul is a lovely place to stay.

We had a lovely friendly welcome from Vicky the owner who was helpful and only too happy to help with anything. A modern, open plan property with furnishing to match. Spotlessly clean. A very good and tasty welcome pack and the prosecco cooling by the hot tub was a lovely surprise. 3 good sized bedrooms with one downstairs which for a member of our party made things a little easier. The upstairs balcony with bbq, hot tub, large table and chairs, and heating is a joy to sit and socialise, watch TV. The kitchen is well equipped. Comfortable sofas to sit and relax with bifold doors giving views to the lovely countryside surrounding the property. A rear patio with table and chairs was lovely to sit and have lunch. We had a great stay and a unusual surprise was being able to collect our own eggs from the hens opposite the house. A lovely touch and they were delicious! Fron Hau is a great base for visiting other areas. We did walk into the local town (Ruthin) about 40 minutes on a narrow, busy road. Not recommended if there are young children in the party. There is parking in town and a few supermarkets there to stock up! To sum up, we had a smashing time in a lovely property. Was very quiet and peaceful and our batteries were fully recharged. I would happily recommend a stay here and would definitely return.
