Great location for an active holiday.. Great location for just sitting and looking at the view too
Ms Gay, October 2020
September 2020
We had a lovely break away and this place made it that much better.. Lovely, clean modern home with everything you could possibly need. It’s like a home from home. We will certainly stay at Llechwedd again. Thanks
Miss Sharpe, September 2020
September 2020
Restaurants within easy walking distance as are the shops.. Only slight problem with the bath think it could do with an anti slip mat. Apart from that entire property was excellent
Mr Lewin, September 2020
August 2020
A lovely house in a great position overlooking Dolgellau with views across to Cader Idris.. The house is newly and tastefully modernised. A great base for a holiday in the southern part of Snowdonia with lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended
Mr Wall, August 2020

The only thing i would like to mention is mattress’s on bunk beds could do with replacing
Mr Ellis, August 2020

A friendly comfortable house - it is clear the house is well loved by its owners and is maintained to an exceptionally high standard.. We loved it - thanks.
Mr Barclay, March 2020
August 2019
A lovely large holiday home with everything we needed plus more.. The owner was very friendly and helpful with some great tips on places to visit around the area. Would not hesitate to recommend Llechwedd to family and friends.
Mrs Aversa, August 2019
August 2019
The property is spacious, well equipped and very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.. Dolgellau is an interesting town with plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants, and is a good centre from which to explore West Snowdonia. Just some small points: 1) The house is difficult to find initially as the house sign is barely visible on Barmouth Road. We had to park then walk to find the property. 2) The walk to town centre is more like 10-15 mins than 5 (but is flat apart from the short steep bit between house and road). 3) No sign of a visitor's book, would have been interesting to read other people's comments.

Lovely views from front of house over Cadair Idris
Mrs Rogers
April 2019
What a lovely house.. It's the second time we have stayed here. The views are to die for, the house has everything you could need on holiday except it could do with a dryer.. and our sheets were very bitty if you know what I mean (old). Thanks though, we had a fabulous holiday x
Mr Tomlinson

Really nice property, Dave very informative and helpful.. Ye porperty was very tidy with all facilities I would expect, The entrance to the property a bit steep but nothing to worry about. Parking was really good and location, town was a short 10-15 walk
Mr Bealby
January 2019
I have always been a fan of Sykes, having been a regular customer for many years.. However, the acid test is when a business faces a customer challenge, and you see how the company responds. I rented the cottage, Llechwedd in Dolgellau mid Jan 2019. It is a large hillside detached house with big rooms and corridors.The central heating is oil fired and it broke down due to boiler failure three quarters of the way into our holiday. The owner promptly came over with a couple of noisy warm air blowers. These were not nearly enough to keep the house habitable and ineffective as a central heating substitute. We hunkered down in the kitchen which was the only room that we could get warm. The rest of the house remained freezing. The boiler repair man said the spare part for the boiler could not be fitted until our due departure date. We decided to leave early and go home as the house was too cold. The owner and Sykes have been absolutely dogmatic that provision of warm air blowers is an adequate substitute for a full CH system in a Welsh January. This was definitely NOT the case. I have explained to the owner and Sykes that I understand that problems and breakdowns can happen, but that we, the customers have lost a couple of days of our holiday for which we made a payment. I am not after a rebate on the money we paid for the rental, more an acknowledgement/apology of how much we were inconvenienced. All responses from the owner/Sykes have been defensive and dismissive of our problem, which frankly I find very poor behaviour. I have suggested that as a goodwill gesture a small value voucher towards our next possible Sykes cottage holiday would make for good customer relations. This has not been forthcoming either. So overall I have felt very disappointed at my treatment by the owner and Sykes who basically say being left with no Central Heating in a Welsh January is fine. Bob

Mr Collins of Llechwedd was a perfect host! He was always there on the telephone for any inquiries that I had. Overall, the cottage was beautiful, well maintained and it’s interior was thoughtfully designed. Everything about this Sykes Cottage was great, I recommend this cottage for a family of 6 or 7. Very spacious.
Mrs Lesslie
October 2018
We thought it a bit mean that there were not more towels as we were paying for a property that sleeps 6.. Otherwise the property was very nice.
Mr Love
September 2018
Just to be aware that the drive into the property is very steep! OK once you have done it a few times. But it's worth it for the wonderful views and if you're up to it climb to the top of garden for an even better view of Dolgellau and Cader Idris. The house is wonderful, spacious and beautifully presented a credit to the owner David did all the work himself. Will definitely visit again.
Ms Chapman

Idealy situated for all areas of Wales ie beach & coast, trekking, historic, lakes and mountains.. The town is on your doorstep with plenty of eateries and waterholes and the added bonus of a eurospar supermarket if needed. Very comfortable property with great views.

I took my boyfriend away for a long weekend to stay at Llechwedd and it did not dissapoint! The cottage was cosy, clean and David was very helpful! He sent me an itinery with things we could do whilst we were there and beaches to visit which we did and it was amazing! Thanks again for a lovely stay and we will be back no doubt!

Miss Merrison

This house was amazing.. I'd love to live here all year round. Incredibly comfortable, wonderfully equipped, spotlessly clean house. Perfectly positioned as it was only a short walk into Dolgellau, via a lovely footpath running alongside the river. Fantastic views from the property, and David, the owner, was very informative with letting us know of places to visit. Would love to come back for some more walking and stay here again.
Miss Merrison, July 2017

What a lovely, comfortable property Llechwedd is, worth every penny of the rental! Dolgellau is a very nice little town with a nice selection of shops and lovely places to eat. Great variety of things to do within 10 mile area. The views from the house are amazing and I would love to return when the trees are changing colour, it must be spectacular! We certainly hope to return in the future.

This lovely detached cottage is in a great location, perfect for cycling holidays and close to many attractions. The accommodation was clean and well appointed and the outdoor space private with great views over Cadar Idris. Very rarely does a holiday home live up to the brochure description, but this one actually exceeds expectations!
Mr Wedgbury, September 2016
August 2016
The holiday house had everything we needed including a hairdryer, good blackout blinds/ curtains and even a wine chiller.. It was a big property, even though it was only 3 beds, with lots of space so we weren't on top of each other. 2 TVs allowed differing tv tastes for my youngest and oldest children. Wifi worked well all week. We even managed to cycle to Barmouth and back. It is a good base for exploring the area, with enough steam trains to satisfy the keenest enthusiast.

Lechwedd is a gorgeous house, with plenty of room and everything we needed and more. Very comfortable and spacious.
