Beautiful house in a fabulous setting but I feel it's been neglected while closed for Covid. Property was very damp in places, which meant wood lice were rife in every room. Air fresheners and the smell of fresh paint initially hid this on arrival but mould on the light fittings and the walls inside kitchen cupboards along with dried goods in the cupboards being solid were all evidence of damp. Showers were in need of a good clean to remove the mould and the main bathroom window was broken so didn't open. Crockery and towels were also very well used and in need of replacing. If you're planning to use the kitchen then take extra tea towels and hand towels as only one of each was provided. Throws on the sofas were dirty as was one of the sofas and there was a large stain on one bedroom carpet. All things easily remedied and if done so this will be a fabulous property to stay at. It just needs some TLC right now. All in all a disappointing stay as couldn't contact Sykes to discuss whilst there either.

This property is not suitable for anyone with even mild mobility problems and the owner is most unhelpful. Her idea of a downstairs loo is an outside lavatory with a plastic roof a door that does not fit and no hand basin! We arrived and left within the day. So disappointed. We have always had good stays with Sykes Cottages in the past.

Ms Davies

Very disappointed in this accommodation.. The property was very cold and unwelcoming. The stairs were narrow and steep, totally unsuitable for anyone with even mild mobility problems. There was food rubbish under the kitchen sink. According to the owner there is a downstairs toilet, it is an outside lavatory with a plastic roof a short door and no washhand basin. As I could not manage the stairs we did not stay. The owner was difficult and unsympathetic refusing us any compensation. Would not recommend.

Cefn Isaf was an ideal property for the three generations of our family party.. Comfortable for the grandparents, relaxing for the parents and a safe and fun environment for the grandchildren. The combination of being in the country but so close to the seaside was ideal. The layout of the house was quirky but great fun, especially the sheep looking in through the kitchen window. Facilities and ameneties were pentiful and well maintained and the decor was clean and fresh. For us, a great choice.

It was are first time going on a cottage holiday and using Sykes cottages and both experiences were absolutely amazing had an amazing time for the new year in north wales at a lovely farm house called cef isaf, dolwen, Colwyn it’s was only 10 mins to the old Colwyn beach which was dog friendly and another 10 minutes further down the coast to landudno and the great orm would highly recomend, in fact we loved that much as a family we’ve already stated looking for another cottage/ farm house for the summer..

The Cottage was very very nice.. The view to the landscape was wonderful, in the morning sheep looked through the kitchen window. The Garden was safely fenced in so that our dog could play there in peace. The Equipment was extensive, there were even toys. An excellent starting point for trips to the sea and Snowdonia.

Mr Reynolds

The property made such a difference as it was so beautiful and located in the most stunning of areas.. It was also perfectly located for getting out and about to see all the sights North Wales has to offer. We would love to return and will one day.

Cefn Isaf is the perfect family holiday home.. Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Superb location and fantastic scenery. So many of North Wales’ attractions and beaches within very easy travelling distance. Cannot think of any negatives.

Cefn Isaf is set in a peaceful location, but only a few minutes drive from the North Wales coast.. The cottage itself is well equipped and very comfortable and the view from the garden across the valley is lovely. The garden is also very safe and secure for children and dogs. We really enjoyed our stay, and I'm sure we'll be returning before long.

Mr Jones

Lovely house, Lovely location, tranquil peacefull and private location, idyllic for a wonderful peaceful family break..

Fantastic house with incredible views.. The house was very clean and has plenty of room with everything required for a great holiday. It also has a big, fully enclosed garden so was great for our lively corgi to run around in... as well as the rest of us playing badminton and swingball etc. The house is also well situated for exploring North Wales. All in all a great place to holiday if you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday.

Mr Cunningham

Beautifully quiet cottage with fantastic views over the fields and valley.. Good location for visits to Conwy, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Snowdonia. All local roads to and from the Cottage are very narrow, hilly and twisty with poor forward visibility and are very daunting at first, but you get used to it after a while and most drivers seem to drive with care and use the passing points considetately.

Everything about this place was fab. Great farmhouse. Comfy. Homely with everything you need. Assisted by absolute gorgeous views of the Welsh countryside in close proximity to the North Wales coastal resorts couldnt ask for better. Can't fault it and would love to come back

Mr Pendlebury

The cottage is in a lovely location, close enough to the coast but we still felt that we were right in the middle of the countryside.. The cottage was very clean and spacious with all the facilities/utilities that we needed. The views across the countryside are beautiful and we loved being able to see the sheep right next to the cottage and also the pheasant that came to be fed seed every day! Would definitely stay here again.

Great cottage, great location.. Out in the quiet countryside but within easy reach of coast and amenities if you want them. Best of both worlds.

A week's solitude perfect, peace and quite, yet everything we needed to keep the grandchildren entertained just a few miles drive away, loved the house, loved the location, hope to be back again in the near future, thank you.

We spent a lovely Christmas at Cefn Isaf.. Beautiful location and we really appreciated the sunrises and sunsets seen from the front windows. Accommodation was pristine and very well equipped and the real Christmas tree and other tasteful decorations gave a welcoming feel.We enjoyed a visit to Bodnant which even at this time of year was beautiful. Overall, our Christmas break was really magical.

Our family had a most enjoyable holiday in an immaculately appointed former farmhouse which was situated in an idyllic peaceful location.. We loved the fantastic views and the great garden which was enjoyed by us all including Henry our dog.The property was comprehensively fitted out with nothing missing at all.Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Mr Lodge

Lovely house in a stunning location.. Perfect for our family holiday. Only small niggle was lack of inside toilet and wash facility on ground floor. Otherwise excellent.

Lovely house, beautiful setting and amazing back garden.. Really enjoyed our week at Cefn Isaf. Only minor drawback was the very narrow country lanes you need to drive down to get to the nearby towns. Take care if you have a big car.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cefn Isaf, it was an amazing family holiday, the large garden was very much enjoyed by all, kids and grown ups alike.. The house has been very tastefully decorated and the amenities are great. The owners were on hand to assist with a small unexpected issue (after a bout of heavy rain), and were more than helpful, mindful and kind. We hope to come back again next year.. the only negative thing I can say about the whole experience was, that at the end of the week we simply didn't want to go home.

Excellent cottage with all the relevant amenities.. Extremely clean, well presented and warm. Fantastic garden for our dog and 2 small children. Location was good for nearby tourist locations of Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Conwy. Fabulous cottage with plenty of space.
