Description

Gweryl Lodge is a Georgian style, detached house situated near the coast in Conwy, North Wales.

This gorgeous two-storey property sleeps eight people across four bedrooms and comes equipped with ample off-road parking and wall-mounted gas fire – perfect for a family or team of friends to enjoy!

Stroll by the magnolia tree and through the porch entrance to enter your new nook where the toasty gas fire and Smart TV will have you gliding across a diamond tiled floor to reach the sitting room.

Assist the chef from the breakfast bar in the white high gloss kitchen, where an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster and kettle stand ready to serve.

Tall windows spotlight the dining table, your culinary creation taking centre stage, in the dining area.

For those sun-filled evenings, why not sizzle up a BBQ in the side garden?

A stylish first floor shower room with separate first and ground floor WCs will help prepare you for bed.

Exposed stone walls, timber beams and a freestanding bath waits to charm you to sleep in your choice of king-size, double and twin bedrooms.

Wake with vigour, because adventure is never far in Conwy.

Satisfy the history buff at Conwy Castle, the National Trust Conwy Suspension Bridge and Conwy Town Walls.

Witness the Welsh coast on a sightseeing cruise or explore the shore at Conwy Morfa Beach.

A little further afield sits popular Llandudno, which the keen walkers can approach via a 45 minute stroll from Conwy along the coastline, passing the estuary and Deganwy beach and where the Summit Cable Car Station will lift you to astounding views and where you can wonder the Alice in Wonderland Trail.

Betws-y-Coed sits just beyond, where the Pont-y-Pair Bridge, Tan-dinas-path and Conwy Valley Railway Museum wait to be ventured.

Or take that short drive to meet the animals at the Welsh Mountain Zoo or trek the epic landscape of Snowdonia National Park.

When you adventure in Conwy, find home at Gweryl Lodge.

I had a great stay at Gweryl Lodge.

Great place and easy access to the town of Conwy.

This house has a lot of potential, but is let down by poor presentation and detail.

We have stayed in many holiday houses over the last 20 years and despite this being the most expensive, it was the most disappointing. It is greatly in need of decoration and looked shabby and gloomy. The furniture is just not appropriate downstairs, with random pieces in the dining room and too little seating in the sitting room, where in fact only 5 people could sit comforably, with one being unable to see the TV. Considering this is advertised for 8 guests, it is unacceptable. The chairs were dirty with food stains, which no one had seemingly attempted to remove. The kitchen was pleasant, but lacked a dishcloth and oven glove and the camping cutlery was very poor, with only enough for 6 people. Everywhere was clean, but the banister rail and door handles were tacky. The most inexcusable aspect for me was the bedding and towels. I have never, ever seen such crumpled bedding anywhere and the pillows and duvets were old and lumpy. The towels looked old. The curtain in my room was hanging off the rail at one end There is a steep, but short, number of stairs from the downstairs bedroom into the kitchen without an adequate hand rail, the same applying to one of the rooms upstairs at a higher level than the other rooms The house is in a great location, but is in need of some TLC. Finally, when you open the front door from the outside, the key will not come out. After trial and error we realised that the door had to be locked and unlocked from the inside by someone else and then the key would come out. No good if you were on your own!

Thank you for your feedback and we were sorry to hear that you were disappointed with aspects of the house. Firstly thank you for alerting us about the front door key. We reported this to Sykes straight away and they immediately arranged for the lock to be repaired. With respect to your other feedback we have undertaken a full review of the property with Sykes and agreed a number of improvements. We will be arranging for additional furniture for the lounge and in terms of the décor, Sykes have advised that in their view the property should be redecorated in a year’s time and we will schedule this accordingly. We are also arranging for the stained furniture to have a deep clean. The crumpled bedding is unacceptable and this has been escalated to the manager of the housekeeping company to resolve with immediate effect. We apologise that you experienced this. We have also fed back to the manager the issues raised about cleaning cloth, tackiness of the door handles and the towels, which had been replaced by the company with new ones but clearly for some reason these hadn’t been issued for your stay, which again is not acceptable. We apologise for the issues you experienced and please be assured that we do take all feedback received very seriously and will work with our managing agent, Sykes, to resolve the matters you have raised.

The Lodge is spacious and very well equipped.

Thoughtfully decorated and furnished too! Great outside areas to relax in and parking was ample. Easy access to Conwy Town walls, castle and loved the walk to the marina. We loved our stay at the Lodge, very relaxed and good catch up with friends. Our only improvement suggestions would be, hand soap in each bathroom, hand towels for each guest and bathmat as the wonderful walk in power shower made floor rather wet

Thank you for taking the time to provide your really helpful feedback and we are so pleased you had a great stay and that you liked the house. Thank you also for letting us know about the towels, hand soap and bathmat. This is not acceptable and we have informed Sykes (who contract and manage the housekeeping service on our behalf) and also advised the housekeeping manager directly asking her to address the matter as a priorirty and to ensure that this does not occur again for future guests. The housekeeping manager has apologised and assured us that this will be immediately rectified.

Lovely house in a nice quiet area.

The location is great, and we were able to travel easily to other areas of North Wales. Great chippy over the road! Parking was difficult on the property so we used the car park next door without issue. The beds and other furniture were comfortable. The garden is lovely too. The only downside was the cleanliness and maintenance. The property needs a good clean, not just a wipe over. There is webs in the corners, hairs around the bath, dust etc. The bath towels were grubby, with old stains, holes and pulled threads. There also wasn't a hand towel provided in the kitchen and upstairs toilet, and no dish cloth in the kitchen. The pictures showed more garden furniture than there actually was, so we didn't bring extra camping chairs - disappointed as there wasn't anywhere to sit in the sun in the grassy area. Overall its a lovely house and in a great location, just would expect it to be cleaner for the amount paid!

Hi. Thank you for your review. We are glad that you liked and enjoyed the house and the gardens and we would like to sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced with the cleaning and the lack of outside furniture. Regarding the outside furniture Sykes immediately arranged on our behalf to rectify this matter and have now restored the furniture so that it matches what’s shown on the advert. It appears that the furniture was stored away over Winter but not put out for the start of Spring. We apologise for this oversight. Regarding the cleaning we completely agree that the standard of service you received was unacceptable. The cleaners are contracted through Sykes as part of a managed service that we pay for and they have taken up all these issues with them as a priority. The cleaners have now undertaken a deep clean of the property and have committed to ensuring that the quality of future cleans and the standard of the towels are to a much higher level. For the inconvenience you experienced we will ask Sykes to refund you some money as compensation and we hope that you still managed to have a nice holiday despite these issues.

Our stay at Gweryl Lodge was a great base for exploring North Wales, with its spacious and modern design.

The kitchen is well-equipped, the bathrooms are luxurious with amazing baths, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The location is perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions, making it ideal for families. However, several issues affected our experience. The fireplace was not working, and despite contacting support via chat on the first day, we received no response. We tried replacing the receiver’s batteries, but it still didn’t function, possibly due to a faulty pipe or spark. There was no hairdryer, which was inconvenient for my wife. Some sinks, particularly in the room with the shower, were partially blocked, causing very slow drainage. Significant dust under the beds was noticeable when our kids, playing hide and seek, got covered in dirt. The property lacked basics like sugar, salt, and pepper, and there weren’t enough towels. A damp smell lingered, leaving our clothes with an odd odor by the end of the stay. The entrance is very narrow, making reversing difficult for our large SUV, requiring assistance, though smaller cars should be fine. Gweryl Lodge has great potential, and with these issues addressed, it could be an outstanding holiday home. We hope to see improvements and would consider returning for another Sykes holiday.

Thank you for the very helpful and constructive feedback, this is a new venture for us, and your feedback really helps us to get things right. a) Firstly, we have reported to Sykes the lack of response from them to your chat message regarding the fireplace and asked them to investigate the matter further and to issue you with an apology. b) With respect to the fireplace not working I have asked our Gas Safe engineer to attend the property to investigate the issue and repair the fireplace. c) Dust under the bed / blocked sinks – we have asked our housekeeping team to resolve these matters going forward. d) Towels – our housekeeping team provide these and have allowed for one bath sheet and one hand towel per person (i.e., 8 of each in total), plus provision of an additional hand towel in each bathroom. They may not have left the correct number of towels for your stay and are investigating the matter further to ensure it is not repeated. e) Basic cooking ingredients (salt/pepper/sugar) – our housekeeping provide sugar in the welcome pack and in future are going to include salt and pepper sachets. f) Hairdryer – we will ask Sykes to provide one (after it has been PAT tested). g) Musty/damp odour – the house is very old (parts of it including the cellar date back to the 17th century) and despite tanking all the walls and replastering them, there is still some moisture in the air emanating from the cellar. The cellar has a crude drainage system, which was installed when the house was built, and this is what is causing the smell. We have previously sought expert advice on how to resolve the matter, but our options are limited. We have spoken to Sykes and their expert has suggested installing a Humidistat fan which will come on and off when it detects moisture in the air. Sykes are currently obtaining a quote for this and once installed, we hope it will alleviate the musty smell. h) Parking – we agree that parking on the driveway can be a bit challenging especially if you have a larger vehicle. We will in future be advising guests in advance regarding this and providing some more specific instructions. There is also the option to use the free public car park right next door to the house.
