The house is huge, well equipped and brilliantly located. Thereâs loads to keep kids entertained including TVs all over the place, a projector, PS4, great DVD selection and a great garden. We contacted the owners when we arrived to find a high chair and they were really friendly, helpful and responsive. We noted the recent review about cleanliness and the owners response. For us the cleanliness was acceptable but I can see how others may feel differently. Iâd say itâs âlived inâ rather than âshow homeâ, which was ideal for us as a young family. The hot tub was also a lovely extra and well used by everyone!

The house is well equipped with some great added extras, loads of space and ample parking. The broadband wasn't working when we arrived due to recent bad weather in the area but this was dealt with and rectified swiftly by the owners. The property is centrally located for Caenarfon, Anglesey, activities and amenities and the views over the Menai Straits are stunning. We have booked to stay here again next year, thank you to the owners for a lovely stay âºï¸

However, on arrival the snug/games room smelled damp and musty, so we simply kept the doors closed for our weeks stay. The lounge fabric sofa was overdue a clean. The kitchen extension roof leaked every night in several areas so we had to mop the puddles on the floor every day. The downstairs shower room shower was not suitable for adults as the shower head height was so low. The overall cleanliness of the inside of the house was poor. Only having been supplied with 2 toilet rolls for a weeks stay was laughable. The rear garden had a table and chairs sofa set that was so green and filthy and saturated you couldnât sit on it. The beanbags were equally filthy. The garden area was scruffy and needed a good clean and tidy. Overall the cottage was dilapidated and needed maintenance. The reason we didnât report the leak into the kitchen during our stay was because the gutters and down pipes were missing or hanging off and the roof was covered in moss so this wouldnât have been a quick fix and we didnât want the disturbance during our break. We paid a substantial amount of money for our weeks stay and were disappointed in the property owners and Sykes Cottages as the listing stated outstanding property and it was far from that. We have rented numerous holiday lets but have never disappointed like this.
