Great cottage but is on a main road to Barmouth.. Therefore can be noisey, no a problem if you are aware. We hope to return. The cottage is in a great area

Our second visit to this cottage, a beautiful location and a lovely cosy cottage overlooking the estuary.. Can't fault it in any way and we'll be back again soon.

Very clean, well presented, with good facilities.. Peaceful location, good for accessing Snowdonia area.

Read some negative reviews on this property so was a little unsure whether to book but the property is just lovely and just right for two people.. Spotlessly clean and designed well making good use of the space. View from the cottage is lovely. Yes it is on a main road but there is off road parking with plenty of room for our estate car. We had a welcome pack provided. We enjoyed our short stay and would like to stay again.

This lovely cottage is tiny.. It is not suitable for large people or those with any sort of mobility issues. It is situated on the main road between Barmouth and Dolgellu and the traffic is fast and frequent. Parking is a shallow bay that has spaces for the cottage and the adjacent cottage. The key safe is all the way to the right of the cottage currently under a bush so a torch or phone light needs to be used to see the numbers. There is a step up into the accommodation, coat hooks to the left but no where to put wellies or muddy boots so bring something to put down. The windows are double glazed so that noise is at a minimum. There is a low sofa, a small tv with sky box which (as has been mentioned in previous reviews) is fairly useless because of it's positioning. The small kitchen is basically but adequately equipped. There is a small table and two chairs and a welsh dresser which houses the plates and cooking casserole dishes. The bathroom has a heated towel rail, a fan heater and a small wash basin. There is an 8 inch step up into the shower. The shower is electric and we found it difficult to regulate. The water drains slowly and fills the shower tray quickly so long hot showers are not advised. The toilet is a saniflo system which is noisy and makes the cottage lights flicker. The stairs to the upper floor are steep. The upstairs room is spacious and delightful. The tv is small and has freeview. There are two chairs and a coffee table at the window with room around them that doesn't obstruct the very comfortable double bed. Towels, four pillows and a duvet are provided but there are additional textiles in the blanketbox. A small waist high hanging rail has 7 hangers, and there is a chest of drawers for storage as well. Velux windows for ventilation and a fire escape door. Outside the terrace is very nice but reached by steep stairs which have no hand rail. It is warm, dry and clean and we enjoyed our stay despite the inclement weather.

Cottage fine.. However I wouldn't have booked it if I knew the road was so busy. It didn't spoil our holiday as such because we simply used it as a base. We would have spent more time at the cottage were it not for the road. The noise and pollution was unacceptable. The small patio area was unusable because of this. It was also overgrown with weeds which suggests other guests hadn't used it either. The pub advertised as " just down the road" is shut. Despite these difficulties we still enjoyed our holiday.

Lovely cottage for two.. Everywhere within easy reach. Cottage would benefit from much larger tv in bedroom as it is tiny. If skybox is provided would be good to have channels. Not too sure why skybox downstairs and freesat upstairs? Also wifi would be very beneficial. Out of 4 windowns upstairs only 2 had curtains, would be great for blinds to be put on other two.

Fantastic break, lovely weather (not that Sykes can claim credit for that! ). The cottage was lovely, with breath-taking views out across the valley. Thoroughly enjoyed every day of it and having a warm place to relax in the evening after a day's walking was wonderful. We'll be back.

Fairly comfortable, tv too small, non slip mat needed in shower, patio area needs needs to be smartend up although busy road made it impossible to sit for a quiet moment.. But lovely area and we were out every day.

This was our return visit and as enjoyable as the first, lovely cottage with great views, things to see and a nice walk up to the RSPB Forrest, a 15 minute drive to the beach which we went to every day as the weather was great,a reliable company to use with emails being sent to us as comfermation of booking and payment..

We had a wonderful week, based from this small but more than adequate property.. Generally very comfortable, well appointed and attractively furnished throughout. The provision of a welcome pack, including milk, tea and coffee plus Welsh Cakes was a lovely touch. The scenery adjacent to the property is stunning and a wonderful view from the bedroom window when you wake in the morning. A word of caution however is for the busy ‘A’ Road that runs close to the house with no pavement on either side and would be a big worry if you had a dog or small child. The property has great access to Snowdonia and we would be very happy to return to it one day and recommend it to others.

A small, sturdy coffee table in the lounge would be useful.. The TV in the lounge is too high on the wall for comfortable viewing; we had to use one upstairs.

A lovely cottage in a great setting.. When we arrived there was a Christmas tree, mince pies and a Yule Log waiting for us. Thank you! This a lovely base for walking, biking or just touring, if you're an active couple, or just relaxing and enjoying the views. Thoroughly recommended.

Good views over the estuary

The property is amazing and in a wonderful place.. There is so much to see and explore. My only feedback would be to consider getting wifi into the property. I think most people would want this now and being in a poor phone service reception it would be highly recommended (we knew there was no wifi so it's not a negative!) Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this property to everyone :)
