The converted barn is in a lovely location with a view of Abersoch bay. From the outside it looks cosy and welcoming with colourful flowers in the window boxes.
We would describe this property as well worn and grubby. No money has been spent on maintaining the outside and inside area. The outside area was overgrown with weeds and dirty garden chairs preventing safe access to the patio. The furniture was very dated, a worn out leather chair useless to sit on it was so old, cobwebs around the base on the standard lamp, a cooker with no numbers on the knobs, rusty old baking tins, a contaminated first aid kit, ambient food left in the cupboard, a dirty dust pan and brush left in the food cupboard, the list goes on.
All issues were raised together with photographic evedence was shared with Sykes Cottages and subsequently the owners. We were hoping to retrieve some the £800 we paid for the holiday. Their response was; all issued raised were trivial therefore no refund of any amount was offered.
We would have expected the property to be clean in normal circumstances but during a pandemic ?????
If you want to stay in a cosy converted barn with old worn furniture, a lack of investment and poor maintenance this accommodation is for you.
Such a shame as it is a lovely building and could be so much better with some thought on what paying guests expect.
