What our customers say about their holidays

  The positives are that the house is big enough for 9 people and it is near to a path that leads to the beach.

  We had a few issues some of which Sykes responded to and menial holiday homes came out to rectify while we were staying. Other issues are :- the outdoor shower is not heated as advertised. There is no family bathroom or bath so please be aware of this and if the people in the bunk bed room need the toilet in the night they would need to go into one of the other bedrooms or go downstairs. The water and ice dispenser on the freezer isn't working and needs an engineer to fix it I see this was reported last year in a review and obviously not fixed. The parking space at the back is very rough ground and piled with weeds and really only suitable for a 4x4 vehicle. The privacy lock on the downstairs toilet cannot work because of wrong fittings in the door frame. The bunk bed room blind needs a safety hook putting on it. There is a washing machine and a clothes line but no washing basket and only 8 clothes pegs. There is also a clothes airer. Sykes houses seem to vary as what is left in the house on arrival, this one had toilet paper, guest soaps, some milk and Bara Brith but very little cleaning materials apart from some anti bacterial spray, no condiments or kitchen roll. We have had better houses through Sykes in other years. There were plenty of tableware and cutlery, lots of knives and 3 meat tenderisers, 2 egg slicers and other things we didn't use but no fish slice or tongs or scales which would have been useful. Some proper up to date instructions in a folder on how to get the smart tv working and some leaflets on what to do in the area would have also been nice. The DVDs left in the tv cabinet were not suitable for children on wet days. It was ok for a week but not really value for money. we had good weather which helped. we wouldn't book this house again especially as the price seems to have almost doubled for 2025. A bit disappointing really but it was only for a week so we made the best of it.

  We had a lovely week in this comfortable house which had everything we needed for our family holiday.

  The beds were beautifully clean and comfortable and it was helpful that four of the five bedrooms were fitted with ensuite shower, toilet and wash basin. The kitchen is well equipped and the range cooker is in very good working order and a useful size for a large party. The beach is just a short walk from the house. There are a number of ornaments and decorative fittings which we didn't think were necessary and which we moved to a safe place till the end of the week, but of course this is a matter of personal taste. One ornament, a ceramic model of a cormorant in the top bedroom, was already broken when we arrived and we mentioned this to the agent. We had no problem parking on the road outside the house but the parking space for two cars at the rear of the property mentioned in the listing turned out to be a piece of rough ground littered with junk and, when we first arrived, blocked by an old car with a flat tyre. (This turned out to belong to a neighbour who subsequently moved it). It would be more accurate if the mention of a rear-of-property parking space was removed from the description in the listing. The fridge freezer is a sophisticated model and a good size but the ice dispenser didn't work. The middle window blind in the first floor front double bedroom didn't open. It's worth mentioning that there is no bath, so guests bringing very young children might want to bring a baby bath with them. Perhaps a rotary dryer or washing line would be helpful for drying swimming towels etc outside. Overall a great choice for a family holiday and we would definitely use it again. Thank you.

  Absolutely loved Perth Hwfa.

  The house is a very homely cottage and because of its age it was in need of a few repairs. Nothing huge and absolutely nothing that affected our holiday. Perth Hwfa was a beautiful house in a phenomenal spot. Just as a matter of feedback- In the listing it says the house is in it’s own 30 acres but in the house details it mentions that these fields are farmed by a nearby farmer so it would be good if it could be made clear whether you can walk in them and if so, is there a preferred area/route. The log burner was toasty and warmed up the lounge beautifully on a cold February day. The view even on a cloudy day is unbelievable . we walked down to the beach and along to the Joiners arms pub and had a drink, crisps and a game of pool. All from the door step. All in all a very relaxing holiday. We could imagine ourselves enjoying the BBQ and the garden (which is much bigger than the pictures seem) a bit more in the summer there. If the gate and fence at the entrance just had a row of chicken wire attached to the back this would help it be a little more secure for dogs. (I made the mistake of letting one of mine off the lead in the garden and he ran off about 1/2 a mile with me chasing a la Benny Hill show! I only did it once!) but it’s a beautiful home in a beautiful spot and we had a much needed relaxing week. Thank you! (Ps: the children LOVED the rope swing!)

  Having had experience of other holiday cottages, I feel able to offer some constructive critique.

  Firstly I would say that we had a wonderful week in Trearddur - it’s a lovely location and conducive to restorative rest and relaxation. The location of the cottage is ideal. The cottage itself is comfortable and fine for 2 people. It lacks natural light so if the weather is not fine it can be claustrophobic in the living area. The amenities are fine, apart perhaps from a fridge which is difficult to access (particularly the lower shelves) in its current location and the lack of a washing machine/airer/washing line. Wi-fi is not really as advertised as you need to move away from the cottage to a nearby central area which is accessed by a key which hangs in the kitchen and was not noticed by us until the day before our departure. In this regard a welcome folder of detailed information might be better than sheets of A4 posted in the kitchen. The garden is nice although the garden furniture is pretty worn and not in keeping with the otherwise good quality provision in the cottage. We took our own chairs and were able to relax in the garden; this would not have been as enjoyable had we had to use what is in place. Finally the welcome pack, including the bottle of Prosecco was a nice touch and was appreciated.

  This was our second time at Rhiwlas and we had a great time.

  The rear garden has been updated since we last came and it was great for sitting out, around the fire pit with a glass of wine. The jets going over were a source of great interest to all and the view from the top bedroom is fab. Everything you would need is available in the house - we spent most of our time in the kitchen diner (again), playing games and chatting, we hardly used the sitting room or the snug at all. The bedrooms are all comfortable and the showers are great - with so many of us, having separate facilities was an absolute must. Rhosneigr is a great place for a family holiday! The only negative was the rear exit to the car parking space, it would definitely benefit from having the steps and sloping access evened out, to include a handrail for safety. The neighbour to this property was not happy with us parking on the road and asked us to move, stating that she had a disabled mum; subsequently, I did park on the road but avoided parking outside her house (I am the main driver and for medical reasons, using the parking space at the rear was difficult for me).
