    “We booked through Sykes Cottages but are unable to leave a review.”

    So posting on Trustpilot - message copied from Truspilot Entry + Update My review contains the good, bad & ugly….. The good the cottage is in an excellent location for exploring Snowdonia The bad, we arrived to find the cottage damp, smelling and freezing cold. NO fire stater kit was provided and the log burner was full to overflowing in ash and look like it had not been emptied in ages.

    So posting on Trustpilot - message copied from Truspilot Entry + Update My review contains the good, bad & ugly….. The good the cottage is in an excellent location for exploring Snowdonia The bad, we arrived to find the cottage damp, smelling and freezing cold. NO fire stater kit was provided and the log burner was full to overflowing in ash and look like it had not been emptied in ages. The cottage is very old so we expected no modern heating however the reliance on the log burner makes it even more imperative that there is a starter kit of at least some firefighters and kindling and may be a log or 2. As it was we ended up dashing around the town to try and find fuel for the cottage or face a freezing cold night. None of the electric heaters were plugged in or on timers! Now for the ugly….. The cottage is not on mains sewage so you are asked to disposed of any used toilet paper in a bag and dispose of, we found the bathroom bin full of used sanitary products along with used toilet paper, that had clearly been there for some time. We understand the cottage is old, unique and not to everyone’s choice, but basic cleaning and hygiene is an absolute must lastly the facilities as listed are not available, the Tumble dryer is located in the small outbuilding to the right, this is being used as a general store and you have to climb over piles of stuff to get to the tumble The washing machine was full of dirty and damp tea towels, so again unusable…. Very disappointed with our stay overall Following on from, receving a reply fropm Sykes Cottages - We are unable to make contact with Sykes direclty as neither of the links contained within the emails that were sent out worked! Further more we cut short our break after 1 night, as did not want to stay in a cold, dirty cottage. There was nothing you or the owners could have done to make us stay any longer at this property.

About the location

BLAENAU FFESTINIOG

Porthmadog 11 miles.

The fascinating old slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is situated in a superb position for exploring the Snowdonia National Park. There is a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat. The main local attractions include Zip World Slate caverns, the longest zip line in Europe and fastest in the world, this is a great underground adventure. The slate mines now hold the prestigious status of a world heritage site, awarded by UNESCO and visitors can take enthralling underground trips there to see mining as it was done in days gone by. The famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog mountain railway also runs for 13 miles through the Snowdonia National Park to the harbour town of Porthmadog. Nearby is Portmeirion village, famous for its architecture and the film set of the cult TV series The Prisoner, plus local beaches, suitable for children, are within easy driving distance.
