“lovely comfortable cottage with awesome viewsand great local wal” we had a fantastic week, the cottage was perfectly placed for touring North Wales, we went all over sampling the delights of awesome scenery, local food and local heritage. Walking the dog out from the cottage was a great bonus, I never did the same walk twice. Enjoyed the slate museum at Llanberis, Betws-y-coed, Barmouth we took the ferry across to Fairbourne. A most enjoyable week in a super comfortable cottage with all mod cons.

“best friends and family holiday” This fabulous farmhouse provided all we wanted for our 2 families which consist of teenagers and toddlers! It was remote but it was easy to go places from this base. The 2 sitting rooms were great as one was used purely by the teenagers to hang out and the other for the adults. We visited a number of places whilst there and were blessed with the weather. Worth a mention is the longest zip wire in europe which we booked and the dads and teenagers enjoyed! We also booked the train to go up the mountain and it was fab, again, a very clear day so we could see for miles! We had a thoroughly brilliant time and the owners were really nice and accomodating. Would recommend!!!

“Great location and immaculate cottage” Loved our stay here. We were treated like old friends! The cottage was beautiful - great views, plenty of space and lovely decor. Nothing was too much trouble for Rhiann the owner, she even got our son a present as we celebrated his 7th birthday here! We can't recommend this holiday complex enough, the games room is a huge bonus and a great feature for the whole family. We will be back someday soon we're sure.

“Perfect place for a large group.” Huge property fully equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need for your stay. Everywhere was lovely and clean, there wasn't a single complaint from anyone in my party of 17, we all agreed we would return. Plenty of amenities nearby, we used the Co-op, the pubs and the local Indian take away. Absolutely beautiful place for walking. Spot on, thanks.

“Delightful cottage in a delighful setting.” The cottage was just lovely. When we arrived we were so taken by the whole area. Very well maintained cottages and gardens. Being on the farm was so relaxing just sitting out in our wee private garden listening to the cows. Terrific central area for the whole of North Wales. Owner was lovely and helpful. Good laundry area and pool table room. The most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. No hesitation in recommending this cottage and the area.

“Llety'r Bugail, Dolgellau” Llety'r Bugail is a fantastic property set right on the uplands above Dolgellau, with fabulous views over Cadair Idris and the mountain ranges. It was beautifully clean, well equipped and, more than anything else, dry! The North Welsh weather let us down for the first time ever, but since this was about our 40th trip, it is hardly indicative of what one can normally expect. The area was beautifully quiet, with few but very friendly neighbours, and there was enough wildlife to keep the most ardent of naturalists quiet for a goodly while. As a result of little or no light pollution, particularly late at night, the night skies were absolutely outstanding, and the provision of patio furniture enhanced the experience. There are plenty of shops nearby to assuage the hunger of all but the greediest of tourists, and the cottage is a great centre for exploring all of Gwynedd and beyond. We had a superb week, and greatly enjoyed what was provided. As an added bonus, the blackberry bushes were in full fruit, so the resultant pies/crumbles were a joy to behold, and something that the supermarket didn't supply. (Mind you, they did provide the custard!) All round, an excellent place to get away from the lunatic world we all live in, and recharge the addled brain.

“Fantastic views, Really felt we were in the heart of Wales.” The service was fine, we could phone the owner for information or her eggs. We were never intruded upon, but felt she was there to help if need be, give local info about restaurants or beaches. We liked the home, it had a cottage feel with all mod cons including a washing machine in an outhouse. The only snag about the beds was that my daughter [45 yrs] slept on the spare bed in the double bedroom. She found it incredibly hard and woke up stiff and painful. She didn't want to share the double bed with me, found me disturbing [up in the night.] We had to go a few miles into Betswy Coed for food, but the Spar there had everything we wanted and stayed open late every day so shopping was not a problem. The distance to all the different mountains took quite a while to get to, the situation was good, but perhaps not quite as central as we would have liked. Not a big deal really, but we only had a week and we wanted to do so much, a lot of our time was travelling. I liked the views over such a vast skyline of hills and the lovely wild flowers, streams and walks straight from the house. We didn't like sky television, couldn't see the programmes we wanted, they couldn't be found. The boys liked the peace of the place - they had come from the busy city of Shanghai, but being boys, they wanted to play football and found the garden a bit too small for that. I don't think they were too impressed with the games room, but as we were out most of time, these issues were minor. I know they enjoyed their holiday immensely, they had wanted to go to Wales for a long time and they reffered to the fields, the sheep, the beaches and their different hikes many times when they got back to my home. They wrote and thanked me warmly when they went back to Shanghai.

“Quiet escape in beautiful snowdonia” Delightful cottage, well equipped. The owners were available to give advice on where to go when needed. Location in Betwsy is perfect as you feel tucked away next to the river and down a private road but is a minutes walk to shops restuarants etc. Some delightful low level walks you can do from the cottage include the miners bridge, and fairy glen. Easy access to Snowdon for the more venturesome. Cant wait to go back.

“The "Savoy" of Cottages” Nant Cottage was our 5th cottage from Sykes and we just don't know how they can better it. Everything from the welcome scones and supplies to the waterfall virtually in your back garden makes this cottage and location special. I'm hesitant in saying to much as I will want to go back to Nant Cottage in the future and want to make certain that there will be a few free weeks left for me.

“Fabulous Experience, Great Hosts” Absolutely loved the stay. The Cottage is right in the heart of nature with views of mountains on one side and views of sea on the other. Mr & Mrs Widdicombe are great hosts as they were kind enough to be awake till 1 am to welcome us. The cottage is about 20 mins driving distance from all the nearest attractions. The rooms are spacious and designed to a very good taste. We would definitely like to stay there when we visit snowdonia next.

“Helpful and friendly welcome” Once found, the apartment is well laid out and has good facilities. Its location is excelleant for exploring noerthern Wales. The owners are helpful and welcominmg, and very informative about local attractions, as well as on site laundry facilities etc.

“Very good” The bungalow was lovely and clean and comfortable although our dog didn't like the laminate flooring as his legs splayed! Weather was awful (torrential rain and gale force winds almost non-stop from arrival) so only one day we could actually see the beautiful view. We left on the Thursday instead of staying the full week but that was no reflection on the bungalow at all, really was home from home with all the white goods readily available. Overall would like to re-visit one day if only we could guarantee the weather!!

“Home from Home” Excellent place for the family and our two dogs, Very friendly family, and lovely fresh scones and cakes on our arrival. This is the second time we have stayed here and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

“A great holiday” The best holiday cottage we have stayed at. Well planned accomodation .Provided everything needed for a restful holiday. Also provided lots of opportunities for walks both adventurous and gentle. Comfortable funiture and beautiful views.

“Better than Expected” I rely on trip advisor reviews when traveling do happy to review. I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked this cottage for our family of five. It was better than I'd hoped- clean, great location, well- equipped kitchen. Cottage is walking distance from several hiking trails and also in the center of town. There is information on nearby attractions available and also has wifi. The only negative is the bedding had a bottom sheet and a blanket, no top sheet, but it worked fine. It is a bit tucked away, but directions given were good; just follow carefully. We plan to return to Wales and would stay there again!

“Value for money in the Welsh countryside” Friendly greeting from Farmer's wife next door. Property was ideal for large family group (3 generations from teenage to 60s). Lots of bathrooms and different areas. Very popular was the hot tub and games room. Farmer drove us up the local Mountain and we walked back down. It may be too remote for some but was ideal for us

“Where mountains meet the sea” We had a wonderfull time in this house. A part of our holiday we stayed with our 3 teenagers. 1 week another family of five(friends) stayed with us. The house is comfortable, has very nice views (sea and mountains) The housekeeper is friendly and is helpfull if anything is not working. The walks on the beach-Shell Island, from the house to the hills and the Snowdon region will stay in our remembrance.

“a relaxing experience” Knowing the area extremily well and just wanting a quiet winter half term break with our five and six year olds, we were far from disappointed with Hen argoed. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Loved the history of the cottage with its modern amenities. As we experienced fab weather for February, the view at the top of the lane in a morning, and out of the bathroom window(on tip toes) set you up for the day. Can't fault it and wouldn't hesitate in going again or recommending.
