“Lovely property with everything you need.”

Fantastic location, 5-10 min walk to beach. Recommended

Fantastic location, 5-10 min walk to beach. Recommended

“My only real criticism, and it's an important one for a large party, is the one toilet facility.”

This will be particularly important with very young or old people in the party. The external wet room was amusing but no good for nocturnal visits!

- Andrew, April 2022
Sarah April 2022

“Hi, lovely cottage and we loved the conservatory - a great place to relax.”

Just minor details - not enough wine glasses and some instructions on how to control the heating - it was very hot at night. We had a great stay though - thanks!

- Sarah, April 2022
John April 2022

“We really liked the downstairs arrangement with the dining area, living area and conservatory.”

The upstairs would have been much improved if there had a been a bathroom there. One inside bathroom for a 5-bedroomed house was just not adequate. The outside toilet/shower room was unattractive and not too clean. There was one half roll of toilet paper in the house when we arrived and no dishwasher tablets - most rented properties provide some of each. We would recommend that the owner considers putting a notice on the recycling room to emphasise when the bins need to be put out. We didn't see the notice in the house until it was too late.

“A well positioned property in good walking distance from Aberdaron.”

We had a lovely week of walking and relaxing here at Rhianfa. Our only request would be a hand towel to accompany the bath towel supplied. We would stay here again.

- Clive, March 2022
Julie March 2022

“Very comfortable cottage 10 minutes walk from the village, beach & pub.”

Great location for coastal walks. Although it has space for 8, we found it perfect for a couple and just used the ground floor as it was competively priced at the time.

- Julie, March 2022
Chris November 2021

“Had a great time thanks.”

a very nice house. i guess the only gripe is only having 1 bathroom inside. Maybe add an access to the shower room from inside?

“A very relaxing stay in a lovely quiet location.”

Just a 10 min walk to the beach and out of season it was lovely and quiet. Great pub terrace overlooking the beach with friendly staff at Ty Newydd. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed. As ever with a holiday property there were minor issues (dripping kitchen tap, weak shower flow, sticking outside door, minor leak from the conservatory roof, vacuum not working up very well) but nothing that detracted from a relaxing stay. Great base to explore Pen Llyn and would definitely come back. We were nice and cosy even in the 70mph storm on one day.

- Ian, October 2021
Robert October 2021

“The fires are NOT SAFE the front glass is broken, there is no handle on the door to open it safely, most of the windows do not shut properly which blows the curtains and it is very drafty, there is not enough seating for the amount of people that can stay (8), knobs missing from the cooker (you can't turn the oven on/off), the utility door does not open and close properly nor does it lock (security issue).”

The conservatory roof leaks in on top of you and makes the floor very slippery (SLIP HAZARD) It would not cost the earth to make this property as good as what you are expecting it to be and then this would be an outstanding place to stay.

- Robert, October 2021
Margaret October 2021

“I only thing that is a bit disappointing is both toilet are downstairs, one being outside which is okay.”

The accommodation is good, plenty of space in the bedrooms, living room and conservatory. Other people stated there were spider webs however there were none when we stayed. Also the conservatory is excellent, a nice place to sit during the day and evening time, but there is a risk of water leak during the Autumn and Winter months. Overall, I was happy that we booked Rhianfa.

- Margaret, October 2021
Carole August 2021

“Had a lovely stay.”

Cottage was nice and clean on arrival. Kids loved the garden. Close to the beach and village.

- Carole, August 2021
Stephanie August 2021

“Great location for our stay.”

Rooms were clean but there were ALOT of spiders and cobwebs that need to be cleaned. Outside toilet smelt of urine when we arrived.

- Stephanie, August 2021
Trina August 2021

“This is a lovely comfortable base for exploring the wonderful area.”

The garden is not secure so we had to be vigilant with our two high energy dogs with two people manning the exits and they still managed to get in the (very quiet) road. The cleanliness in generally good, but some areas need attention, there are lots of cobwebs dust around, plug sockets not secured to the wall and dodgy bathroom light. These things didn’t impact on our holiday and we had a lovely time, The house is well equipped with everything you might need for a lovely relaxing holiday

- Trina, August 2021
Luke June 2021

“My family and I had a lovely stay at the Rhianfa.”

It’s a beautifully spacious rustic home away from home with all the amenities a young family need. The house is a 10 minute walk away from Aberdaron village and a 10 minute drive away from the whistling sands beach which I highly recommend. We will definitely stay at the Rhianfa again

- Luke, June 2021
Paul May 2021

“Rhianfa was a lovely holiday cottage and well worth the money.”

Few minor issues which need addressing in the property, the conservatory has a couple of leaks during heavy rain. Cotbed in the property was broken but there was a travel for also. The house could do With a thorough clean, lots of cobwebs and dust. Other than that the house was lovely and we will be staying again.

- Paul, May 2021
Katie May 2021

“This was our second stay at Rhianfa and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits!”

The house is a perfect family home with everything you could need for a home from home stay. The conservatory is our favourite room in the house with beautiful views out to the surrounding garden and perfect to relax in after a day on the beach. The layout and location of the house is fab and the outside shower room is a great addition. We would highly recommend Rhianfa and will definitely be back again !

“The cottage was filthy!”

I was unable to contact Sykes to report the situation. We came home early.

Sarah December 2019

“Rhianfa was a lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

It was great that it was dog friendly, although our dogs are well mannered and don't go on furniture and we didn't allow them upstairs. Even though it was pretty windy while we were there the cottage was cosy and we were able to use the conservatory during the day. The location was great, we walked into the village every day and the coastal walks certainly blew the cobwebs away! There were 8 of us which meant we had to have a bit of a rota for the bathroom - but we knew that before we arrived! Would definitely come back for another visit.

Shan September 2019

“What a fantastic place-every eventuality of equipment provided-the bed linen ...”

What a fantastic place-every eventuality of equipment provided-the bed linen was of a brilliant quality and vintage welsh quilts too Amazing collection of books to dip in and out off-conservatory was so cosy to sit in and great to have Netflix available on the tv- Sympathetically furnished to its era We only wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return very soon

- Shan, September 2019
Colin September 2019

“We love to stay at Rhianfa this was not our first visit and hopefully not our last it is a large house very well equipped and very comfortable.”

The large conservatory is especially a relaxing and a comfortable space to sit in and read in the evenings.It is very homely without rules and regulations. The only downside for us as we have two dogs is that the garden is not completely enclosed which means they have to be carefully watched when out side.Rhianfa is within walking distance of Aberdaron although it is a very steep hill back.Aberdaron is a picturesque village with great cafes, pubs, chip shop, bakery,and a very long sandy beach.

- Colin, September 2019
John August 2019

“Quite a few cobwebs around interior windows and in rooms”

- John, August 2019
John August 2019

“Pictures looked lovely, bad smell in the porch (like gone off veg) a lot of cobwebs, very bad smelling wardrobe in downstairs bedroom (lived out of suitcase) window in bathroom leaked (window closed) conservatory leaked.”

Other than that Aberdaron is a lovely village. Hope things get rectified.

“Great time had by all.”

Beautiful location minutes away from the beach.

Gary April 2019

“A very nice house and we enjoyed our time there.”

My only criticism is that the house would benefit with some maintenance.

Jez October 2018

“The listing was inaccurate no sky box which was advertised , this had a large impact for various reasons on our holiday .”

When I rang up to clarify this on Saturday I was told there wasn’t a sky box advertised and so I had to read the description out from your website , no apologies were made I was told some one would get back to me but they never did. We have booked many cottages through you over the years and have been satisfied before and we only hope this time was an aberration .

- Jez, October 2018
R September 2018

“The sea views were only from 1 upstairs bedroom.”

The Garden was not secure after and after spending a long time searching for a suitable property it was very dissapointing as we had to walk the dog on a lead. The shower was very poor as very slow flow. The night storage heaters were not easy to control and the main heating was from 2 fires and there was no fuel. We were looking forward to a relaxing holiday and it was stressful due to the unenclosed garden and the road.

- R, September 2018
Lowri September 2018

“We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was in a great spot on the edge of a pretty little village and beach.”

Our dog had a great time exploring local beaches (some beaches had restrictions through Sept), but the garden was not secure and so he had to be kept on the lead at all times in the garden which was a shame. All in all we had a great time.

- Lowri, September 2018
Lynn February 2018

“A perfect getaway for a group.”

Plenty of space for all of us and on the doorstep of some beautiful coastal walks.

- Lynn, February 2018
Karen December 2017

“The house was rather cold as the heating relied on the fires being lit.”

Otherwise all lovely.
