The freezer was totally full of ice and could not be used.The washing machine and the oven were both in need of a good clean.The glass shower door had come off its tracks at the base and moved to and fro which was a hazard.The metal drainer was rusty and needed replacing.We were surprised to see there was no way of watching anything other than the normal channels and freeview usually we are able to use our netflix sign on in holiday places.We have stayed in many Sykes cottages over several years and also recommended you to family and friends so we were disappointed this did in no way meet your usual standards.

Overlooking Anglesey so views where spectacular! Really great base to explore and on bus route so didn't have to drive (visitors should check out 3 day bus explorers ticket!). I noticed other comments saying they could hear owners above and we did at times but didn't bother us. Flat had everything you needed...if I had a very minor request it would be for shower mat in shower as could get slippy. But was brilliant and rebooked for next year!
