Left on 03/13/2013 for a stay in February 2013
Had a awful experience at this property which was then compounded by the way our complaint was dealt with - or not, as was the case.
Do not book this property if you or anyone else has breathing problems.
Black mould on bedroom blinds.
Evidence of black mould having been attempted to be removed from other areas.
Black mould in 'summerhouse'.
Algae spewing out of jets of the Spa Bath.
Washer Dryer - Drying function did not work.
Extractor fan above hob did not work.
Sauna - did not work.
There were a number of other issues with the property but they would appear quite petty in comparison with the above so I won't go into those eg. Beds - lumpy with cheap bedding.
We paid 5* price for our stay in what was supposed to be 5* accommodation. We have stayed in 3* properties which were far superior.
We wrote to agent (Sykes Cottages), to ask for some kind of compensation/part refund as soon as we got home. They asked us to give them 2 weeks to try to resolve the complaint. We were not happy about this as we felt that this would be enough time for owner to 'cover up' and sort out the problems and it would become a case of our word against his. We were right as owner came back and said basically that problems must of been due to us not following instructions properly! Talk about patronizing. He did however admit that the dryer was somewhat infective and that they were going to replace it - very big of him I thought!
We will be taking this claim for compensation further and we are currently awaiting on our bank to confirm that we can claim for a 'chargeback' for the whole amount.
Basically, I have no doubt that when Sykes first put this property on their books, it probably did warrant 5* rating - the property looks very attractive and on the face of it, it looks like a very nice property. It claims to have all these wonderful extras - but what use is it if those 'selling points' are not fit for purpose? -

Beautiful farmhouse in a beautiful setting. Breathtaking views surround the house. Very comfortable and spacious throughout. Sauna a welcome treat.
Farm track to house a little awkward to drive over, lots of potholes but passable. -

We stayed for one week at owl cottage.it was amazing.the house was a dream.everything we wanted we had.beds comfy lots of room very clean tastefully decorated absolutely beautiful.
The situation was a bit isolated but that meant it was very quiet and idyllic .the kids enjoyed scampering around the garden and loved playing hide seek.although it was out a bit the local attractions were easily reached and there were plenty of them.yes it was a great week . -

Left on 09/23/2012 for a stay in September 2012
The inside of this house is damp! damp and mould inside the bedrooms! Some interior fixings still broken on arrival. Shower broken, main bathroom mouldy and carpets filthy!
Table broken, 1 chair broken. Bbq unusable. Garden a death trap for children. Electrical wires coming out of the grassed areas. Front garden a real mess, bridge tatty and pond full of mud, rear part of garden ok ISH?. Summer house thing at the top a mess and surrounded by broken glass! Location not exactly as described, Snowdon area not in views at all! gravel track to enter the Property a bit tricky to navigate if your a townie like us? and 5 times longer than you might think! list of bad points goes on and on. Most shocking of all owner was not concerned at all... just gave us cash back and we left... -

Our second stay at Owl Farmhouse and althought the weather this summer could not match last year, Owl Farmhouse was as great as we remembered. The cottage has everything you need. It's a fantastic base for the area and because we had rain this year I had the opportunity to use the sauna. We will go back.

Left on 04/23/2012 for a stay in March 2012
Recently enjoyed an amazing week in Wales. The property is spacious & airy and completely equipped with everything you will need. We were lucky enough to cook on the bbq all but one day, which made us feel like we were really on holiday. An unexpected bonus for Wales in March!! Hubby was thrilled with the sauna, which we used daily, and I loved the choice of 3 woodburners to snuggle up by once the sun dropped. Talking of which, the sunsets are incredible. You can sit on the bank & watch the sun drop from view into the sea... beautiful!
The bedrooms were all of a good size, a few patches of damp here & there, but you would expect that, given it's location. The garden is on a steep bank, so is tiered. The boys were disappointed that they couldn't play footie, but soon forgot about that when they found the tadpoles!
The location was great for days out and easy to find., although could do with at least one on the track saying 'Owl Farmhouse' as it feels a bit like you're heading onto private land! Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Oh, also found owners to be very helpful & friendly an much appreciated the wine & chocs welcome pack! -

well equiped house in a stunning location. Off the beaten track making it peaceful and secluded. Perfect for those wanting to get away from it all but close enough to civilization not to be a problem.

MaghullWhat a fantastic break.
Left on 02/06/2010 for a stay in December 2009
We rented the Cottage as we were attending a family wedding at the beginning of December, and needed somewhere to stay, the description of the property looked appealing to my 23 year old daughter, who'd done the on-line research.
We took a few Christmas trimmings to add to the festivities-we needn't have bothered-the owner had thought of everything, including 2 Christmas trees. The open fires were a delight and the whole family enjoyed themselves.
It's a beautifully appointed property, fantastic setting and we had lovely weather-more than a fairytale addition to a fairytale wedding weekend!
