Bryn Y Mor

The living area could do with some blinds for the bifolding doors and over the sink area.

But loved the stay..warm cosy and spacious

The views were lovely the property needs a lot of maintenance work seating was awful it holds 4 guests seating for 3 had to bring in garden furniture the hole building needs a big clean it was filthy toilet seats hanging off utensils for cooking awful except for the views the building was a1 out of 10 never stay there agin

The toilet seat in the en-suite doesn’t cover the toilet and is very loose.

We also had a mouse in the cupboard under the sink. Not such a big issue as I know you’ll never get rid of them completely, just to make you awake. There’s a few maintenance jobs, like there’s a lot of corrosion on the handles of the cabinet under the bathroom sink. I stayed back in February this year and you can see it’s got run down over the summer. Otherwise the place is clean and views are stunning! Would still stay again.

Beautiful property with amazing views.

We had a 2 week stay. And visited lots of the local areas with our son and daughter in law. Plus 2 dogs. Because the nature of the area you need to allow a long time to get anywhere for instance the beach at Barmouth is 14 miles allow 35 to 40 minutes travelling time ( worth a visit ) the property it's self. Be aware the parking is on a very steep hill i was not able to park our vehicle and had to get out of the car while my husband negotiated the hill as I was very nervous . The Seating arrangements in the living area are not adequate for a family as only 1 small sofa suitable for sitting 2 comfortable or 3 at a squeeze. There are wooden chairs and a table not suitable for a comfortable evening watching a film together. We did bring in 2 garden chairs with cushions from outside. There is a very large telescope for star gazing with no instructions on the use disappointed as really liked the idea of star gazing couldn't even find a manual on Google. Kitchen well stocked even a airfryer overall we enjoyed our stay .we would stay again if the Seating arrangements were improved . Simple really pop another 2 seater sofa in place of the telescope

Lovely accommodation, breathtaking views from indoors and out, fantastic sun deck, but I found the parking difficult .

The lane up to the cottage is tarmac until the last 30 feet. The only way onto the parking space is to drive up off the end of the tarmac (where it becomes steeper still) onto the grass, then 90 degree reverse down hill on to the parking space. It's the only thing that would stop me booking again.

The main aspect of why I booked Bryn Y Mor was the views, and it didn't disappoint.

The house itself was more than suitable for our weeks stay. the large glass front of the building gives spectacular views of the Welsh coastline, whilst the rolling hills to the south were also amazing. Yes the sofa was not the most comfortable (but it is a sofa bed). The pillows were amply padded, the broom was short but cute. I did take a while to get through the main door but once you have the knack its fine. Had no issue with the bed in terms of comfort and really appreciated the extras left by the owners. Would definitely recommend.

I am just about to post on social media about this property as I have made a complaint regarding the awful cleanliness of this property and still have not heard back from the owner.

There were serious cleanliness issues, especially mice droppings in the kitchen cupboard and bedroom which cannot be overlooked!

Very good located - kitchen stuff terrible - viewing to the sea great

Loved our stay, it was the second time we've stayed here and it didn't disappoint.

We're already considering booking again next year. Amazing views, peaceful, wildlife all around, great for cycling, walking and the main town and beach just short drive away. I can't really put into words how wonderful this place is. Only downside was one toilet seat was broken and there was no sign of the recycling bins. Also a large brown bin near back of property is in need of emptying as it was overflowing and smelt grim and attracting flies. Was too heavy to move so we emptied some of it so lid would close and transferred waste to bin at bottom of road. These were minor inconveniences and didn't lessen our Lovely experience, just issues that need addressing/fixing. Thanks for the use of your home.

When we arrived Monday, there was an odd sock and a bit of plastic by the bin.

Also, a dustball on the side if the settee, and crumbs underneath. Top right hand corner window pane loose in the bedroom woth the king size bed that was really 2 single beds. Bags not available for dirty linen and towels. Whilst the property is dog friendly, some dogs, nit ours, could easily dive through the rope barricades. These are only minor points and can be easily fixed. However, the most important thing to be aware of is the really steep drives to the property, two of them. As long as you are confident in dealing with them, no problem. But you have to remember, what goes up (the drive), must come back down, whether you reverse all the way back, or reverse abd up the hill, then very slowly move forward. Happy to return

Beautiful property with the most amazing view.

The weather was a bonus due it to being sunny & hot. There isn't anything that I could fault about our stay. Even our dogs loved it. Close to Aberdovy beach 15 mins in a car, nice and clean

We had a fabulous time at your lovely property.

Very clean and had everything we needed. We saw Red Kites right outside the balcony! Note to potential guests : The road leading to the property is very steep , I recommend driving up past the entrance and reversing into the driveway.

Overall we had a lovely time away however, the accommodation could have been better for a week’s stay.

Reason being, we had our dogs with us, there is no secure garden so we constantly had to be outside on the decking with them. The drive is very hard to get onto and there is loose decking when walking up to the bungalow. There was one rail to put clothes on and not enough space to store away our belongings. The beds are single beds (pushed together to make a double) which we would recommend a double bed as it is likely to have couples/family to stay where you’d presume a double bed is provided. The beds were not overly comfortable nor the sofa. There was a build up of flies/flying insects throughout the week however we did use the zapper provided which was helpful. The bungalow wasn’t overly clean on arrival and we had one toilet roll per toilet, 2 dishwasher tablets, nothing to clean with so we had to buy essentials which is fine, but a few household items would be a nice touch. The beautiful views were the highlight of the stay and very good location.

Lovely spot to feel secluded but within easy reach of facilities.

We had a great stay.

It's a lovely bungalow!

With beautiful views...the down side of this property is ...there is no garden,when you need to take you pets for a toilet you need to take your pets around the other side of the bungalow which at night time is very dangerous as the lights do not work so you need a touch, as it's on a very steep hill be prepared to balance yourself ... Windows blow with a breeze coming through! As for the heating there needs to be better instructions on how it works! Very dirty glass on the entrance light bulb in kitchen needs replacing ! Clock on wall does not work needs a battery... They just need an aerial for the lounge TV.... Not everybody watches Netflix real-time TV is nice to watch... But other than that... It was a nice stay Wales it self has captured my heart

One of the best scenic views you can get of the sea and rolling hills loved it will definetly be booking again a fantastic base to explore snowdonia and beyond

We had an amazing holiday, the views were stunning, freat beaches.

the property was well laid out beds were comfy, could maybe do with a better seating as only one sofa, the only negative would be the approach, we had to stop half way up the drive so couldn't get any grip so car would only go backwards, so car got damaged. For anyone going, just go as fast as you can up the drive past the entrance and reverse in. It didn't spoil are holiday at all, just an extra expense for the repair.

A beautiful home!

The views are outstanding! We loved the open plan layout, the couch was not as bad as previously described. With regards to parking, we found the best way was to drive up past the entrance and then reverse into the driveway, yes it could be designed a bit better but we coped! We did love the welcome packs! A really lovely touch, especially all the treats for our little dog! We would definitely recommend this place, sadly the weather was awful and we couldn’t have the bifold doors open or sit outside but you can’t pick your weather! We were just unfortunate! This is somewhere we would definitely come back to! Thank you

Absolutely loved our stay here and are looking to book again next year.

Incredible views and we saw so much birdlife and other animals just from the decking. It was a joy just to get up every morning and get greeted with sound of nature and a view of the hills and see. Loads of nearby walks and places great for cycling too. The only thing I'd change would be a more comfortable couch apart from that it was perfection.

Thank You for the basket of goodies and the doggy toy etc it was a lovely touch.

We’ve had a wonderful holiday here, the views are so beautiful. It really felt like a home from home. The beds were very comfy too and great showers. I wouldn’t say the garden was enclosed tho. And ….parking the car was a big downer!! A very steep drive up and a sharp turn into the driveway. If you’ve ever done Hardknott Pass in the lakes, it’s like that. My husband fortunately is a very good driver but it still made it very worrisome every time we went out and returned, especially in the wet, wheels skidded. Perhaps the driveway could be made wider into the property or maybe ask the farmer if possibly park on his land a bit further down, left of his gate??? Such a shame as the property was stunning and this will stop us coming again.

The holiday home is situated in an incredible location on the side of a hill; there are very few places in this country where you can look out of one window and get sea views and look out of another and get views of rolling hills and mountains.

It was a very nicely laid out property in a great position for exploring. The drive is a little tricky to get onto, but that is expected given its location. Also due to its exposed position and French windows it does mean the temperature can fluctuate within the house depending on the outside conditions. Would highly recommend the property to family and friends.

Settee in the lounge was very hard and uncomfortable unable to use for long periods.

Pillows were to thin and uncomfortable had to buy two while staying they. Bedrooms could really do with dark curtains so to be able to sleep through. Accommodation was perfect though beautiful surroundings beautiful house to stay in.

The bungalow and views were amazing.

We had a fantastic week staying there. Everything you needed was provided. The beds were comfortable. A lovely touch was the little basket with bread' cake ' and some milk in the fridge. (Only the Welsh cakes were a week out of date.). The only constructive criticism we have. Was the sofa was not comfortable. As it is a sofa bed. You were sat on part of the metal frame.

Beautiful property and a stunning location.

We hope to return one day.

The house is fully finished.

Cozy, well-equipped. Poor entrance to the property. With a large car you had to think hard. I also missed the grass in the yard. Overall, I recommend it! I'll be back!

absolutely lovely place to stay we really enjoyed it!

It was very clean upon arrival, we vacuumed up and mopped the night before our departure. We did our best to ensure we left it how it was when we arrived Only thing i could say that was bad is we didn’t get a great nights sleep the night before our departure because the weather was really windy and stormy the garden furniture was blowing all over the place we had to collect items from fields through the night and tried our best to keep them secured and as time went so quickly in the morning we didn’t have enough time to empty the bins or empty the dishwasher or remove bedding as we had to be out by 10am. Maybe having a later departure time could be better for future occupants.

Despite calling upon entry to the property apparently that was not soon enough to notify Sykes Cottages that it was unclean and required cleaning.

I cleaned the cottage myself so that my 3 year old son didn’t have to play on a floor or sofa utterly covered in dust and dog hair. The property is unfinished and in places dangerous with the panels around the bath loose and with sharp edges. Despite numerous correspondence during and after our stay, Skyes/Menai is not prepared to offer any compensation for our stay. I would not recommend the company or the cottage we stayed in to anyone. Evidently, talking to the neighbours, the cottage owners are aware that the property is unfinished and are planning to finish it next year. Not ideal when you’ve paid to stay there now. Very poor service and very poor property.

Super property.

Very well appointed & in lovely position for scenery. Unfortunately we chose the wettest/windiest week so were unable to used the garden furniture & BBQ - which we had hoped to. Very comfy bed! and bathrooms clean & fresh. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need - including an Air Fryer! All very dog friendly inside with bowls & a "bed" in place on our arrival. & our pooch felt very much at home. Unfortunately there wasn't much of an area to walk the dog, due to farming land & a road without footpaths at the bottom of the hill. The parking could be difficult due to tight turn onto property as described in info. And area could be difficult with anyone with mobility issues. Thank you to the owners for the effort put in make our stay comfortable.

We were lucky in that we had the hottest week of the year for our holiday.

However the lack of blinds on the truly magnificent bifold glass doors meant that we were sweltering at 35 degrees for 3 whole days. Frankly the only respite was taking to the road in our air conditioned car. That apart the poor quality of kitchen equipment was our only gripe. The bedrooms were comfortable and the 2 bathrooms provided excellent facilities. After 2 days of 35 degrees we were inundated with flies. only to be expected in a sheep farming area but means of control should be put in place such as an ultra violet fly killer. I would warn about the vehicle access, trying to turn into the narrow gateway off a 35 degree narrow road was an examination of my driving skills!

A very cosy cottage with beautiful views.

Thank you for the lovely welcome pack, the dogs enjoyed their treats as much as we did ours. The cottage is a great base to explore south Gwynedd and further afield. Tywyn has a lovely beach and the Talyllyn railway. A trip up the coast to Barmouth, Harlech, Criccieth and a trip to Porthmadog is highly recommended.

Thank you for a lovely stay, you have a beautiful holiday home with amazing views!

Fantastic venue for us to use as we were walking the Wales coastal path. Beds are excellent and so comfortable! Welcome pack very much appreciated and a lovely gesture. Many thanks again.

What an incredible place to spend New Year, we had a lovely couple of days.

The views are incredible, lovely basket on arrival, so grateful for the coffee we loved it, Thank you

What an amazing view, close to the beach so walks with the dogs easy.

Lovely walks around the area too. Very homely, the basket on arrival was super nice very appreciated! Thank you for a lovely stay, Thanks again. K & T and our three pooches.
