Pabo Lodge

No Sky television and only a washing machine not a washer drier.. For the price I would expect both. R K Smith

Cottage lovely location for visiting area and good secure garden.. Lots of character , nice and warm from central heating despite Storm Dennis raging outside!

Loved this place and will definitely be back.. Quiet and secluded but still within easy travelling distance of Llandudno and Conwy. Cottage really quaint garden just fantastic, enclosed for the dogs and would be lovely in the summer for sitting outside. Really had everything we needed, was a home from home.

Pabo Lodge was situated at the end of a narrow road, and when I arrived, I thought it would be difficult to reverse into the road from the cottage's car space each time you left the cottage.. However it was quite easy, but would not recommend parking on the road as occasional large vehicles use the road. The cottage was accurately described - very private and very quiet which is appreciated when you want peace and quiet after a long day out visiting places etc. There was plenty of hot water and the bath and shower worked brilliantly where a lot of other places I have visited lack in this area. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you needed. The beds were very comfortable and the bed linen was clean and fresh. There are extra electric heaters if you need them, and plenty of hanging space for clothes including drawers. The owner, Mark Duncalf was very pleasant to speak with on the telephone and told me not to hesitate to contact him at anytime during my stay. I will definitely come back to stay at Pabo Lodge next year as everything was comfortable and easy to get around. Mark's information folder was very useful and correct. For example, the Queens Head Pub was amazing, not only the food but the service, and decor including.

Great location

We had a major problem with flying ants in the living room for the whole 7days which meant we couldn't use this room until mid evening when they returned to their nest..

A great pet friendly cottage in llandudno junction.. made a good base to visit snowdon, angelsey, etc. would definetly go back....

When we turned off the rather inauspicious roundabout at Llandudno Junction onto Pabo Lane and passed a "Jewson's Warehouse" we were not expecting that the road would take us on into some glorious countryside with lovely views (the view of floodlit Conwy Castle from above the Lodge was especially memorable).. We really liked that the Lodge's garden was enclosed and offered security to our Border Terrier, Millie. Also, whilst the Lodge felt remote, it was very handy for some excellent local Pubs, Tea Rooms and Fish & Chip Shops. Given the time of year, we were able to visit some amazing gardens when they were at their best (Bodnant, Plas Cadnant, Plas Brondanw, Plas Tan-Y-Bwelch to name but a few). Whilst there were quite a lot of tourists about we found that visiting attractions first thing or later in the afternoon really payed off. We also actually found an amazing beach on Anglesey that stretched for miles and yet was completely deserted even though the weather was hot and sunny - bliss. A really great holiday all round.

The Lodge is starting to look tired on the outside.. For instance the front garden is a wilderness and the porch door is missing. Apart from that the cottage is really cosy, comfortable and warm. The kitchen is well stocked with those small bits of equipment that you may need.

This cottage is in a lively central position for North Wales and it’s so warm, cosy and comfortable we didn’t want to come home yet again..

We have been before to Pabo Lodge, at this time of year with our two dogs.. The cottage is well situated being close to Conway and Llandudno, even going in the middle of winter the cottage is really warm and cosy, sat by a log fire in the evening is very pleasant indeed!! The garden is ideal for the dogs to be in, we hope to return in the future.

The photos on the website did not do pabo lodge justice had a great time .. Cottage was lovely and comfy and warm

We had a lovely relaxing time, the cottage is so warm and comfy, the log burner .... We had a lovely relaxing time, the cottage is so warm and comfy, the log burner is fab we loved it, the only thing I would say is the garden needs to be secured, Thank you Mark for a nice time

Really comfy and cosy.. Ideal location for Conwy and llandudno. Enjoyed walking along the quiet lanes by Pabo also.

A lovely cottage with magnificent views.. HAd everything we needed and enclosed garden for our dog.

We did not think the garden was secure enough has when letting our 13 month old jack Russell off lead he escaped through the hedge into the Joining field.. We had no trouble getting him back but he spent the week on the lead in the garden which is not much fun for the dog the smell of sheep and horses made him want to explore being a young dog. Apart from the garden the cottage was lovely and cosy with great views and great walks. Would defiantly stay again.

Relaxing and comfortable with beautiful views..

A lovely cottage set in an ideal location.. Secluded yet accessible.

This was by far and away the most peaceful and relaxing holiday we have ever had, and was just what we needed to unwind from the stresses of daily working life! The cottage is lovely, very well presented, and perfectly situated for walks with our dog away from busy roads. It was very nice of the owners to have left tasty treats and flowers for our arrival too. Pabo Lodge had a very homely feel to it, and we felt comfortable and not 'on pins' as can sometimes be the case when staying in more modern properties with a minimalist style of decor and lots of hard, shiny surfaces which tend to show up the slightest fingerprint, and carpets which are difficult to get muddy paw prints out of.... Pabo very sensibly has easy clean floors throughout, except for the carpet in the bedrooms as one might expect from a comfort point of view. However, while having this character feel to it, the property is still very well maintained and clean - we have absolutely no complaints on either score. One never knows just how much to take to rental cottages in terms of household consumables (i.e. light cleaning materials, towels, bedding, condiments, washing up liquid, etc.), and we consequently took pretty much everything with us that we could think of, but we needn't have bothered because the owners had anticipated our needs and provided everything. The absence of wifi might be of concern to some, but we didn't mind as the whole point of the holiday was to get away from our 'normal' lives. All in all, this was the perfect, traditional little hideaway, secure outside for the dog to run about and generally for us to indulge in a little escapism and dream that it was ours! If planning another holiday in the area in future summers, we will certainly check with Sykes to see if Pabo Lodge is available. Just as a point of note regarding booking, the rider that dogs should not be allowed on the beds or settees was not available to see until the booking had actually been made, and it might be helpful for dog owners to be made aware of this in the general listing. We never go anywhere without bags of throws and additional blankets, as although our little furry friend is happy to sleep next to beds, it is well beyond the scope of our efforts to make him understand that he has to break the habit of a lifetime and not sit on the sofa, but others might not have the space in their vehicles to do likewise.

The Cottage was perfectly situated and had lovely rural views, was close to Llandudno and all amenities, perfect.. We were very kindly left milk, tea sugar, lovely swiss roll, chocolate mint thins and a vase of beautiful yellow roses, very welcoming. Cottage could just maybe do with a 'lick of paint' to freshen up.

The fully enclosed garden was ideal for our dog.. Care was needed on the single track approach with the local traffic. WiFi would be appreciated. The lodge had everything we needed.

It was the nicest cleanist cottage ive atayed in and within easy drive of all .... It was the nicest cleanist cottage ive atayed in and within easy drive of all areas of wales i highlly recomend it snd will be returning again

Pabo cottage is a home from home.. It has all you could need and more with breathtaking views all around it.The photos on the website do not do it justice as it has been updated since they were taken.

Fantastic cottage in every way.. Thank you

The only shortcoming with the cottage was the lack of a dish-washer.. This was, however, not crucial because of the ample pupply of hot water for old-fashioned washing-up. We particularly enjoyed the peacefulness of the location, but still within easy reach of facilities like supermarkets. Our two dogs loved the garden!!

The owner was very friendly and helpful..

This was a very warm, comfortable cottage ideally situated for all our holiday .... This was a very warm, comfortable cottage ideally situated for all our holiday requirements and a safe location for our 2 little dogs as well

The cottage is in a lovely position with fabulous views.. The approach lane is narrow but perfectly accessible. The garden is a delight and totally closed in so our doggy friends are absolutely safe. There is an abundance of birds in the garden with what appears to be resident sparrows and blackbirds who are quite happy to "do their thing" and eat your leftover bread, with you sitting really close by! Inside the cottage is very homely, warm, cosy comfortable. It has everything you could want/need and again really good for dogs.

The cottage was in a really good location, and private with it being detached, also very well equipped, we would definitely consider booking again, we had a lovely holiday..
