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.

The property is in a lovely location and was perfect for us to explore North Wales with our two young children.

The cottage itself is pretty and it was nice and clean as we arrived but we discovered just a few things that were missing/lacking in order to make our stay perfect. We had planned to cook our own meals for a couple of the nights we were there (specifically one pot meals as theyâre easier for us as a family) however, there was nothing to actually do the cooking in - Pyrex dishes etc. The 2 frying pans that were available were both small and not big enough to cook for a family of 4 so we ended up with takeaways and wasting food. (Also, being particularly picky, no Prosecco or Pint glasses to enjoy a beverage.) Of an evening, the cottage got quite chilly but there was no option for us to put the heating on as this was automatic/we werenât allowed to touch it and there was also no fuel for the fire for us to use - we ended up cuddled up under a blanket. On the first night we locked the back door and once we tried to open it in the morning, the lock was so stiff that we could not work it. For love nor money, that back door would not open. We tried every morning and night but to no avail until finally, on the morning of our departure, we managed to get it open with some kind of magic touch. This meant we had 3 full days with all of our rubbish in the kitchen, nowhere to dry our wet towels or washing and no use of the outdoor space which was a shame as this was one of the main reasons we booked the cottage as our 2 young children love playing outside. Overall a cosy cottage but it didnât quite live up to expectations for us.

Rebecca - Verified booking

This property is so cute, stylish & comfy - really felt like home from home.

Perfectly placed in the middle of Rhyl & Prestatyn with nice coastal walks either way. It however does need a few little things just to make it 10/10. - no hooks on bedroom or bathroom doors (sounds petty but don't realise how useful these are until you don't have any) - washing machine & dishwasher smelt fusty & mouldy. Dishwasher did improve as it was used through the week but washing machine did make clothes smell a bit fusty - edge of bath cracked - no mirrors in bedrooms, only a full length one right at the top of stairs. Had to be careful not to step too far back when doing hair & make up - no TV signal so have to use apps to watch any telly. Couldnt add new apps as it asks for a PIN that wasn't provided so had to watch some stuff on our phones - information about bin collection is wrong in the welcome pack, says they collect on Thursdays but it was actually Wednesday - there is a CCTV camera in the back garden, I get it's for security when the property is empty but did make me feel a bit uneasy being filmed when out in the garden - some the lights in the property are bit strange, no shades on the energy saving bulbs & quite often when we put those lights on they would keep going straight back off - took about 4 times of turning on, off, on, off before they actually stayed on All in all the property is great & we would return again in the future.

Gemma - Verified booking

Beautiful property with wonderful views.

Upon opening the front door, we realised we had arrived home and were visualising our own belongings in the house. It was spacious, clean and had a good feel to it. Our girls had already moved in, by dressing their room with toys, crafts and cuddly teddies. There is an easy stroll to local shops, pubs and a children's play area, which was very handy. There are steep steps up to the property, but if my mum can handle it, so can you, and my mum could trip over fresh air. The front garden was nicely kept, so much so, we released our newly emerged butterflies, where they enjoyed the juicy plum trees. To the rear there is a lovely patio area where we stayed most evenings. There could be a mirror in the downstairs bathroom or a washing machine to wash all those dirty clothes, but that's just picky, it was a truly awesome holiday and although we had fun on our day trips (yes, I'm now skint) I really loved coming back 'home' at the end of the day. I would recommend staying at this property and we will be coming back again soon.

John - Verified booking

Lovely house, very clean, It is quite step intensive, but this is in the description, My 75 year old mother, found it a little hard going, but did manage with her stick.

We did find the kitchen lacking a few essential items, like scissors, and deep sided oven doses and baking trays, but we managed to improvise. And the small glass patio table, for a Kitchen table? Which only fits 4 people, the house sleeps 7, It feels like the house was rushed to get out on the holiday market, but isnât quite there. But the main issue for us is the beds. The mattresses are very uncomfortable, when you move about you can hear and feel the bed springs moving, most of us never really got a descent nights sleep at all, and the lack of furniture in my bedroom especially ( small top bedroom) was a challenge. But itâs ok cause every room had a massive chair in it, which is just what you need, rather than a chest of drawers, or a wardrobe. All that said, itâs a lovely house, and with a bit more thought, it could be spot on. Oh yes, an extra shower over the bath would be a good idea too, one shower between 7 people just isnât enough.
