What our customers say about their holidays

Phil - Verified booking

The property was not cleaned when we arrived - it was in a disgusting state with blood stained towels towels hanging up, dirty pots in the sink, toilets were disgusting, every room was dirty, dirty used bedding, dirty towels on the floors.

Dirty fridge, sideboards and floors. The allocated parking space was permanently occupied by a massive filthy abandoned white van. A total eyesore that is the first thing you see on your approach to the property. The front of a house is overgrown with weeds and looks badly neglected. the backyard had cigarette butts on the floor and weeds sticking out of the paving flags. The catch on the back gate doesn't work properly and is rusted and sticks. The kitchen is the worst equipped kitchen I have ever seen and I have been taking cottage holidays for 20 years. The utensils - such as potato masher, spatula etc are made of cheap flimsy plastic and are of no use whatsoever. There are no oven trays. The dinner plates are ridiculously small, the mugs are ridiculously small, there is no teapot or caffetiere. The kitchen tap constantly drips and the fridge makes a constant noise. Two of the kitchen cupboard doors won't stay closed - one of these is the cupboard door under the sink that has the bin behind it - not ideal if you want to stay here with a dog. The utility room has a washer dryer but there are no instructions for this. there is a brush but no pan or hoover so we found it very difficult to clean up after ourselves. There is no guide - no folder or whatever - for the cottage for local amenities, emergency contacts, recommended places to visit, etc etc - only a notice board with the vaguest information on it. The heating kept coming on even though it was the middle of summer as it was preprogrammed to do this there were no instructions to tell us how to stop this anywhere. We couldn't turn the heating off because the thermostatic valves on the radiators were broken. There are three bathrooms each with a shower in this property; two of the three showers didn't work properly and leaked. The third shower got up to temperature but the water pressure was so poor. My bedroom stunk of stale cigarettes and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. When it rained the roof on the top floor leaked over the stairs. I contacted to the owner and told him about every single defect and none of them were fixed. I contacted Sykes cottages from day one about all the defects and they did nothing either. When I first called them I was put through to someone who said he was new and, apart from being completely clueless and unprofessional, he ended up cutting me off after 15 minutes. I will never use Sykes cottages again.

The owner, Rosemary, is very good with communication the week before your stay.

I would definitely say follow her directions so that you arrive at the cottage via Chirk, as the road is so much better. Even if you have to travel 10 minutes out of your way to do so. On arrival we had to knock on the neighbour's door and ask them to move from the dedicated parking spot for the cottage.... not a great start. (Even though Rosemary said this might happen.) When entering the property there was an overwhelming smell of cigarettes. The property is advertised as non-smoking. We had to go out and buy air freshener to try and get rid of it. The bed that we slept in was very comfortable, and the room is very quiet, even though it faces out onto the lane, which can get very busy with vehicles racing up it. Be careful when stepping out of the door. You will need to keep your wits about you. For us, the property was centrally located for the area that we wanted to see. And if you get the chance, go and eat at 'The Swan ' fantastic food but be warned you will need to be starving when you go as the portions are immense!! 'The Raven' at Welshpool is also very good. Once again on our penultimate day, there was problems with parking. After a long day out and about the last thing you want to be doing is walking around the village trying to find the owner, who was subsequently sitting in the pub, and was too drunk to move his vehicle, so the landlord had to move it for him. Not only this, but at 1am they decide to start shouting about and using the hot tub. (Obviously another holiday let next door) For us, it put a bit of a dampener on our 'relaxing' week, but overall, it was ok. We did bump into a chap who was mowing the lawns who was very understanding to our parking plight, and we did have a laugh. A very nice local!

The property is a really good size, with plenty of room and was ideal for our 8 person party.

It's also well located for anyone wanting to explore Llangollen and the surrounding areas. However there were a few significant negatives about this property that we found: 1. On road parking. Parking immediately outside the property was not possible. There was a large white van parked on the the road outside the house the entirety of the time. This is not ideal for a party of 8 including 4 children travelling in 2 cars with luggage etc. It was necessary to for to park our car 'precariously' whilst loading and unloading and then park them much further up the road away from the property, but we managed. 2. The general condition of the property. There was a significant damp/mold problem in one or two of the bathrooms and bedrooms. The kitchen tap ran constantly. The bathroom taps were all loose, which made turning them on and off difficult. The toilet seats were loose. Most kitchen cupboard doors did not shut properly and remained open all of the time. 3. The bins just outside the property. They looked like they hadn't been emptied in a month or more and for this reason, smelled awful. It was therefore difficult to dispose of our rubbish when leaving when the bins were already overflowing. On a positive note, obtaining the keys was easy, the house was generally clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and we had a good time in Llangollen.

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.

A well equipped comfortable cottage just inside Wales.

The kitchen is well appointed with a new electric range cooker and all the other mod cons needed. Full instructions for use are also provided unlike some cottages. Main bedroom is large with a very comfortable bed, the galley nature of this was barely noticeable as there were just the two of us, although I can see that if you came with a family you would want to use the curtain provided to give some privacy. The bathroom is perfectly adequate if somewhat compact. The property was well cleaned and ready on our arrival. The sighting of the cottage was perfect for visiting Llangollen with it's steam railway and canal/aqueducts, both of which are recommended visits, Bala and its lake and railway, Chester with it's Roman history as well as Shrewsbury and Welshpool. The village stores locally and in Chirk are good as are the butchers in Llangollen and Chirk. Our only real criticism was the on road parking which although adequate in itself made it difficult to turn around without using nearby driveways which we were asked not to do. Other than that a good place to stay and one we could use again in the future.
