Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the apartment to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few minor comments about specific areas needing attention, such as the sealant around the bath and a full vacuum cleaner bag.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions, making it an excellent base for exploring North Wales, Snowdonia, and nearby towns.
Guests generally found the apartment comfortable, with some noting the cosiness and quietness. However, there were comments about the access to the bathroom through the master bedroom and the need for better mattresses.
The apartment is considered well-equipped by most, but some guests mentioned a lack of oven dishes and the need for updates in crockery and bedding. The pub's atmosphere is appreciated, though the availability of food was inconsistent.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the hospitality and the welcoming nature of the owners, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

And our stay was excellent, this amazing 17th century building was comfortable and quirky which we loved. It had everything we needed, comfy beds and everything was super clean. The owners couldn't do enough for you and had an amazing sense of humour which made us feel extremely welcome. We had a family meal which was excellent the whole family enjoyed it and even the kids the next day kept saying how good it was. Would definitely return if we're ever in the area.

New mattresses, worn and thin duvets, replace old scratchy towels, new crockery, a thorough clean and regrouting in the bathroom. Not big things but these updates would make a difference . Beds were uncomfortable, chipped plates, no washing up utensils or spare bin bags or tea towels ( most people want to keep a place clean and tidy for you?) and a vacuum cleaner in the front room ( hanging on the wall) that was full of last guests dirt as not emptied- didnât look great. The biggest, most significant problem, however is the building work going on opposite the apartment. We were unaware of this when we booked. Woken up every weekday at 735am by builders. So noisy we couldnât sit and talk on the shared balcony. Your view is machinery and builders! Owners / Skyes should make anyone booking aware of these works as it does affect your stay unless you like noise and early starts.
