Mr Mackenzie
October 2021

“Enjoyed our stay.”

Uncomfortable futon to sit on. Alright for two and one dog but would be a bit tight for 4. Not sure if light switch and immersion heater switch in bathroom is legal.

Uncomfortable futon to sit on. Alright for two and one dog but would be a bit tight for 4. Not sure if light switch and immersion heater switch in bathroom is legal. Very friendly pub but a shame they don’t yet do food. Would be useful to know what day the rubbish/recycling is collected. All in all we had a good time

“The grass at the rear of the property really lets this place down, An area needs to be made over to provide a space for garden table and chairs some where to sit and relax and enjoy breakfast.”

- Mrs Shenton, September 2021
Mr Paisley August 2021

“The cottage is in a good location, but is overpriced, shabby and poorly equipped.”

In reality it is not big enough for four adults. To get into the bed in the smaller room you have to climb up from the bottom of the bed or climb over your partner. To sit four people round the table on person has to stoop under the stairs. The front approach to the cottage is overgrown with weeds as is the side passage. The outside space is scruffy, the lawn overgrown and there is only one bench for four people. In reality we could not contemplate sitting outside. Disappointing for a Sykes cottage. Sykes also did not return my phone call as promised.

Ms Wright August 2021

“It was the cost that was the issue.”

£900 for this cottage is outrageous. It would have been fine at around £600. It needs a thorough deep clean, especially soft furnishings. Everything inside, including furniture, is bottom of the range. Again fine if charged at a lower rate, but not £900!

Mr Maddocks August 2021

“A clothes line, pegs and prop would have been useful.”

Not all refuse disposal arrangements were clear. A cosy and comfortable cottage.

Mrs Fone July 2021

“Lovely cottage in perfect location.”

A great base for exploring this beautiful part of North Wales. Wonderful river and coastal path walks close by and highly recommend the local pub across the road for a drink

- Mrs Fone, July 2021
Mr Lake May 2021

“The cottage was absolutely lovely.”

Every detail thought out to make it comfortable and well equipped. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. Cleanliness was outstanding. Its position in llanystumdwy near Criccieth was brilliant within 100 metres of an outstanding river walk and easy access to the Welsh coastal path. Don't forget to try the local pub across the road and the Prince of Wales in Criccieth. Will definately stay here again.

Mr Catt May 2021

“There was no contact detail of the owners or the cleaning agent we had a problem with the toilet and used the nearby public one for a day until we had it fixed at our own expense.”

The lawn had not been cut it was 12inch long otherwise a loverly place in a beautiful setting

- Mr Catt, May 2021
Mrs Maher October 2020

Was dissapoint Ed with the comfort of the living space no comfy couch to sit on, plus could not understand why the cottage had a cream carpet when pets had been in was a little dirty and did smell of dog not the easiest to keep clean and fresh

- Mrs Shakeshaft, October 2020
Mrs Price September 2020

“The cottage is well-situated as regards a frequent bus service.”

We found the buses very useful when walking stretches of the coastal path. Just disappointed that the service in more remote areas seems to have suffered from £cuts.....this is such a shame as we loved the Llyn Peninsula!

- Mrs Price, September 2020
Mrs Burton September 2020

“Entering the property through the front door is fine, however on first arrival entry is made through the back door.”

There is entry along a path that goes down the side of the property and this is overgrown, very narrow and dark which does not create a good first impression. The trees and branches need cutting back. It is shame as the cottage is lovely and cosy and very well equipped. It was extremely clean with lovely fluffy towels and warm bedding.

- Mrs Burton, September 2020
Mr Smithers August 2020

“Very Comfortable bed”

- Mr Smithers, August 2020
Mr Haworth July 2020

“Lovely place to stay, particularly recommend the walk alongside the river heading up stream from the bridge - some great spots to swim and we frequently saw dippers.”

The property

Situated in the pretty stone village of Llanystumdwy, linked closely to David Lloyd George, is Pogle's Wood.

A two bedroom stone cottage and once part of the Lloyd George Estate, Pogle's Wood lies close to the seaside towns of Criccieth and Pwllheli.

Being only a short drive from the heart of Snowdonia, this cottage is an ideal base to tour the Llyn peninsula, where sandy beaches and magical villages can be discovered.

While for the more energetic, exhilarating mountain walks can be enjoyed.

Pogle's Wood has been furnished to welcome you and your pets as we understand pets are part of the family and enjoy a holiday too.

The lounge has a comfortable settee and easy chairs to relax in, a TV with excellent signal reception, open fire with a back boiler, for which we will provide some logs etc, to complement the electric heating and Wi-Fi.

For more formal evenings there is a dining table which comfortably seats four adults. The kitchen is stocked with a range of electrical appliances to make it a real home from home.

A welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, sugar etc will be waiting for you after your journey.

Outside is an open, lawned garden, for the dogs to stretch their legs and have a sniff around. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with a double bed and storage space, more than adequate for holiday clothes. The bathroom has a curved cubicle with an electric shower and complementing sink and toilet, which has been recently refurbished.

Locally, there are a number of signposted walks and the Lloyd George history to uncover, an excellent local bus service from early in the morning to late at night and a regular train service from Criccieth.

And at the end of the day, the dog friendly and community run Tafarn y Plu pub, is literally on the doorstep!!

Pogles Wood is a wonderful place from which to explore Wales, at any time of year.
