“Lovely little @ Sisial y Mor stay beach is less than 10 mins walk, would highly recommend for exploring North Wales”

- Rachel, April 2025
Sue September 2024

“Very comfortable and quiet.”

Nice and warm, we found everything easy to use. Very comfy bed too. I imagine it would be quiet busy around the site in school hols and summer, so would avoid for this reason. This is ideal for an out of high season break, which we prefer. A very dog friendly area, with always some beach access. You get a later sun set on the West coast too. Excellent for holiday with dogs, and walking, easy to keep clean with the hard floor and under floor heating, which is so cosy.

“Love this property , 4th visit now and I’ve already booked for next year!”

The kettle was broke and this was handled quickly and replaced the same day , very professional. The cleaning cupboard requires a new mop and bucket , and some cleaner to place in the bucket so the cottage can be mopped on departure. The only thing for me is the check-in / check-out time I think 16:00pm on day of arrival is far to late as time you unpack and settle , it’s bed time so the first night is wasted really , and 10:00am is early most places are around 11:30am , this would give more time to have breakfast and clean cottage before departing ( the lady next door also mentioned this to me aswell) Many thanks for a fabulous stay , great loacation , great space , close to amenities Thanks again Zoë

“Second time here loved it, asked twice about no shelf on fridge door so no where to put bottles, noone came to look at it and door needs adjusting, had to keep checking it was shut, hoover was not sucking , needed new bag as it was full, new bag was delivered promotly but still not any suction after new bag, also lamp in small bedroom was broken, I reported this too.”

Very comfortable cottage and spacious

John Gareth September 2023

“Authentic stone barn conversion with thick walls stayed cool in the heat.”

Well appointed with spacious interior and large external patio with sea views. Quiet despite the nearby campsite which provided facilities like a restaurant and supermarket and access to a clean wide sandy beach. Well located for walkers (we used Kttiwake Barmouth and Harlech books) with some outstanding scenery (the view on the Panorama walk from the bench is hard to beat). Harlech Castle is also well worth a visit)

“Second visit to this little gem this time of year and wasn’t disappointed.”

Hope to visit same time next year. Great facilities, clean and comfy beds/sofas. Wi-Fi was good for those that need it. Kitchen is very well equipped. Cottage is well positioned to get out and about. If you know the surrounding area, there is a lot to see and explore. Great family holiday, thanks for helping us in making memories for our two little lads.

“Cottage was fantastic, well laid out, fantastic size rooms, luxury bedding & ...”

Cottage was fantastic, well laid out, fantastic size rooms, luxury bedding & towels, beds we're very comfy, kitchen was very well equipped, bread milk & butter were a nice touch plus teabags sugar coffee, cleaning stuff, teatowels they had thought of everything, have already booked for next year, Barmouth has been my happy place for the last 30 years as a static caravan owner, would definately reccommend

Justine October 2022

“We had a wonderful stay in the cottage having chosen it because friends stayed in the one next door the previous year.”

Its in a fabulous location, just a short stroll to the beach. The cottage itself has been renovated to a high standard and is very well equipped in the kitchen. The bathroom is a tad on the small side but the shower over the bath is excellent; extremely powerful. The beds were very comfortable. Our only gripe was the size of the TV for the size of the room and for such a high end property I would have expected a larger one. After a long day it was nice to snuggle down on the sofas and one very wet day where we stayed in all day but we had to keep pausing the TV to go and take a closer look at things which got irritating.

- Justine, October 2022

Deborah April 2022

“We had a lovely holiday despite the weather not being so great.”

The location is beautiful amazing beaches. The cottage we stayed in was gorgeous on arrival there was complimentary items in the fridge, lovely fluffy white towels left in the rooms. The cottage was immaculate I definitely will be booking the cottage again.

- Deborah, April 2022
Michael February 2022

“Really great break in a lovely cottage.”

We couldn’t have asked for more! Stylish, contemporary living space in the heart of the Welsh coastline. Kitchen is very week equipped. Beds are really comfy, living room set up was perfect for a family. The bathroom and shower pressure was great. We have been coming to the area for the last 30 years and must have walked past the location of the cottage hundreds of times before. We have no complaints at all and would love to visit again in the future.

- Michael, February 2022
Deborah December 2021

“Fantastic cottage in a great location.”

Everything you could possibly need in the cottage. Clean and welcoming. Well equipped in the kitchen. In walking distance of lovely big beach (ideal with dogs), nice pub up the road and a good butchers and shops within walking distance. Ideal to get into Barmouth. Would definately stay again and recommend.

- Deborah, December 2021
Maureen December 2021

“This cottage is a 5 star holiday home !”

So much attention to detail that made our Christmas stay perfect ! Will be back next year hopefully!

- Maureen, December 2021
Chris October 2021

“A great stay even for October.”

Would definitely come back. Only very very minor issue for me was the lighting outside that we were unable to turn off but the Owner quickly offered to rectify in a few days…

- Chris, October 2021
Denise October 2021

“Fabulous cottage, lots of welcome goodies,pity the weather was so bad.”

- Denise, October 2021
Laura July 2021

“Fantastic location.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only thing I would prefer is an enclosed garden for the dogs but they were very well behaved when outside.

- Laura, July 2021
Paul July 2021

“The only downside was the sie of the fridge, with very small freezer compartment.”

This was very small for 4 people self catering.

- Paul, July 2021
Darren April 2021

“A great cottage, very comfortable with all equipment needed and close to the beach.”

We had a great time and will be back.

- Darren, April 2021
David September 2020

“This is the 3rd time we've stayed at one of these cottages and we love the place.”

We've never left any negative feedback but we think there are 3 points worth mentioning this time. You need the kitchen window open if you're cooking and its extremely difficult to do so, it's difficult to access and very stiff. The skylight in the lounge is noisy when its windy and it does get windy there believe me! These are minor details and very quick fix if the owner decides to rectify them. The last issue is not so easily rectified. There is a guard dog onsite and it must hold the world record for barking. The other guests onsite raised this with the owner while we were there and it has been mentioned in the guest book. None of the above will deter us from visiting again however our next trip will be to somewhere near Tenby next March and we're looking already! The cottages are brilliant and with a few tweaks will be even better.

- David, September 2020
Vicky August 2020

“Had a fantastic stay.”

a lovely cottage in a brilliant location with easy access to the beach, restaurants and take aways. the dogs absolutely loved it. we would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

- Vicky, August 2020
Helen July 2020

“We had a wonderful week at Sisial-y-Mor with our two dogs.”

There are so many beautiful places to visit. The beaches are stunning, and there are so many walks to choose from. We found two spectacular waterfalls and a drive-on beach (black rock beach). The facilities at Sisial-y-Mor are perfect, everything you need and the beds are extraordinarily comfortable. Clearly a lot of consideration has gone into the decor and it is finished with quality and taste. Booking through Sykes Cottages was super easy and hassle-free. Thank you.

- Helen, July 2020
Kelly February 2020

“Had such a brilliant time there, was quiet and peaceful, with a lovely view.”

Will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you for the lovely accommodation, just what I expected and more!

Stephen June 2019

“This cottage was spectacular.”

Absolutely beautiful. Everything we needed to enjoy our self catering holiday was provided. Thank you so much to Mrs Williams for making everything so easy for us. We will be booking again as we have stayed at various accommodations in and around Barmouth and this cottage was far and away the best we have stayed in. Loved it.

- Stephen, June 2019
Gareth May 2019

Kevin April 2019

“We have 3 small dogs, it is important for us to consider where we go and what we stay in and because of this we have stayed in similar properties across the UK but this is by far the best location and best property to date.”

On arrival the property was easy to find and in a great location for local rural and beach walks. The property layout itself, all on one level, the cleanliness and the welcome pack exceeded our expectations and from the first moment we arrived we knew we were in for a great time. We did many days out to beautiful towns, beaches and historical sites and was able to unwind in the Sisial-y-mor cottage. Sarah the owner was great, friendly and very helpful. If you are looking to spend a holiday away from home with your dogs, walking distance from the beach, close to all amenities we many lovely places to stay, this has got to be one at the top of your list. From the moment we made contact with Sykes cottages, explained that we had found a property we liked and had 3 small dogs, they did the rest and made it work and because, the dogs, my girlfriend and I enjoyed it so much we are considering a return holiday to this property later in the year.

- Kevin, April 2019

“I've stopped at this cottage many times before and on this occasion was a touch disappointed.”

..windows and doors drafty...heater in bathroom didn't work..notified them 1st day which was Saturday...was fixed Wednesday..TV is far too small for size of the room..

“Yet another perfect holiday booked through Sykes’, highly recommended to all.”

- Sarah, June 2018
Gemma June 2018

“Lovely cottage, really well equipped and beds very comfy.”

Utility room with washer and dryer was very useful with two small children. Quiet and peaceful, yes there are caravan parks around but none that are right outside the cottage and we didn’t experience any noise from them. Great location to explore North Wales. Beaches were beautiful. Only thing to mention is the cottage could do with a deep clean especially as dogs are allowed i.e cleaning under sofas. Wouldn’t hesitate to return and recommend to others.

- Gemma, June 2018
James June 2018

“The beach was brilliant, the restaurants near by was great.”

Plenty of places to visit and the kids had a great time too. Would definitely visit again.

- James, June 2018
Hayley May 2018

“Feel misled about it’s location.”

It is right in the middle of a load of campsites so we were surrounded by people outside every night u TIL at least 10pm - not the tranquil idyll we believed we were getting.

- Hayley, May 2018
John April 2018

“Beautiful cottage in what was once a beautiful setting, but is now caravan hell.”

Lovely comfy, warm beds and bedding. Well equipped , clean kitchen. Comfy sofa seating. TV too small for the room. We had to move the sofas closer. Underfloor heating not adequate when it's cold, although other heating was offered when l enquired. The worst thing was the boiler, which roared so so noisily and never switched off that l had to decamp from the master to the twin room to get any sleep. My husband slept thru it as he is hearing impaired.
