Once we removed the air fresheners at owners request, we were hit with a pungent smell as excrement / vomit. So for three nights, my husband slept on a small 2 seater settee, whilst my daughter and I had to share the double bed. Sykes answers the phone as they claim to be 24 hour emergency helpline, which they do answer but nothing is sorted over the weekend. On Monday, maintenance man came around at 11am, was at the property for an hour with us. He agreed that there was some strange smell and said we couldnât stay there any longer, he contacted the owner and they kindly arranged for us to move to another property in Caernarfon. The maintenance men were very helpful, pleasant and accommodating. We can only thank them for sorting out the move and but which should have been dealt with on the Saturday morning not half way through the holiday.

The cottage is lovely and has a well equipped kitchen and clean the lounge has a very small sofa and two small uncomfortable chairs so not a place you could sit and relax watching tv the garden could do with having a table and chairs and maybe a nice patio area so you can sit and eat outside we didnât sit out as we could hear the residents next door shouting and swearing the bedrooms are ok the double bed is pushed up against the wall so me and my husband slept in the single beds which were ok but the pillows werenât very good cheap and flat and the bed linen felt rough think the cottage would benefit from a few home comforts if your staying there for longer than a few days fortunately we had good weather so didnât have to spend much time in the cottage the location is central so easy to get to anywhere thereâs a pub in the village but it only served food at the weekend the chippy do lovely fish and chips had a great time exploring all the beautiful places in Anglesey but didnât feel we could come back to the cottage and relax would I stay here again no itâs not for us
