“A bit of a shame, as we had booked here in 2019 as well, and had planned on booking for 2021 already, but when me mentioned to the landlord that the cottage next door was a veritable building site, with work starting daily at 8.”

30 am (mostly drilling, grinding, and breaking up concrete), he has not responded in any way that would reassure us that next year might be better, having already paid more this year than last. Compounding the issue was the fact that the roads outside and surrounding the cottage were also being worked on, so even if we tried to get out ahead of the drilling, we were stuck waiting for lorries to unload a couple of streets over for up to 40 mins. We won't be staying there again, although we will ...

We won't be staying there again, although we will be back in Snowdonia next year for some winter season mountains.

“Lovely Christmas at this cottage in Llanberis.”

They even put a Xmas tree up for us. Brilliant location for Snowdon and walks etc. Clean and tidy. Very warm and a cozy log burner. Had everything we needed.

Cottage was great had everything could have asked for was clean people where lovely and most of all we got to walk up Snowdon x Kids loved it it was their 1st time x Thank you I hope to use Skye Holidays again x

“We couldn't work out how to get the shower to work the mixer knob seemed to be jammed but as it was a lovely big bath we were not too concerned.”

Could be a few more utensils in the kitchen. Deeper dishes for soup and cereals would be a bonus the ones there are a bit shallow. Some measuring jugs, a whisk and some medium sized tumblers would also be nice. The beds were not terribly comfy for me personally as I have Arthritis and find a higher bed with a more supportive mattress more comfortable and easier to get in and out of. Beds with wooden slats under the mattress tend not to be as comfy as divans and also tend to creak a lot. Otherwise the house was lovely, very clean and comfy perfect location and we really enjoyed our holiday. The above are just little things that we noticed, nothing that stopped us having a great time.

“Very nice house with all the facilities needed for a home from home stay.”
Mr Willis April 2019

“A nice property with a lovely welcome of milk and Welsh cakes ( + goody bag for dogs) but with hit or miss parking and no garden for those that take pets.”

I would recommend though for easy access to Snowdon with all the village amenities within very close walk.

“Very comfortable and well placed.”

This is a lovely cottage located within the village so very close to all amenities and the foot of Snowdon is practically on your doorstep. A warm welcome with milk and Welsh cakes waiting in the fridge. Cannot fault the accomodation itself at all but the deck is so small it is unusable and if no benefit if you are a pet owner. However lots of walks for the hounds close by. Parking could also be an issue but we found a spot close by and did not have to use the car throughout our stay. I would recommend though and look forward to using again next time I need a Snowdon base.

“Lovely comfortable cottage ideally situated for fabulous walks from the door, ...”

Lovely comfortable cottage ideally situated for fabulous walks from the door, lovely places to eat 5 minutes walk away and dogs made to feel really welcome would definitely recommend it
Mrs Dixon February 2019

“This is a gorgeous cottage set in a quiet street.”

The cottage was more spacious than we expected and beautifully furnished. We were surprised and grateful for all the welcoming touches. The village had everything we needed, a well stocked shop and great take-always, and is an excellent location to use as a base for visiting the local area. I was pleasantly surprised during an evening stroll to come across a magnificent waterfall at the end of the village. I would love to return!
Mr Shields February 2019

“Lovely location, and very nice cottage.”

The only issue was the parking wardens, but that is not the fault of Sykes nor of the cottage owner. Thank you.
Ms Walker November 2018

“Lovely cottage in central position in village.”

Warm and welcoming. Central heating plus wood burner. Well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our 3 night break and would book again
Mr Cashmore September 2018

“Lovely terraced house within easy walking distance to Llanberis centre and bus stop.”

The place was very clean and tidy. Loose skirting board in the bathroom and a loose tile in the kitchen. Creaky floorboards upstairs. Otherwise faultless and these are minor observations. Recommended. Would go back although the cost for a long weekend out of season seemed a little on the expensive side.
Ms Ruck August 2018

“The tv was really really lovely”
Mr Warren June 2018

“The problem with this property were just lots of little things, adding up to a point where I now can't trust the standard of a property on the Sykes website.”

1. No shaver socket in the bathroom. To me this is a standard item in a bathroom, NOT an optional extra! 2. Although the place was generally clean, the kitchen items that we used needed cleaning. The things we didn't use still needed cleaning when we left. (We only cleaned what we intended to use. ) Examples : tea stains in the mugs, grease on the baking trays and inside the the oven was bad... 3. Bed mattress was too thin. I am olly 80 Kg, but I was basically sleeping on the bed slats. 4. Configuration was not really suitable for 4 adults. To get to the bathroom you had to go downstairs, through the lounge, and kitchen and rear porch. Maybe the bathroom and smaller room on first floor should be swapped. 4. There was a decked area out the back, BUT it was so small I don't think it counts as a patio /garden area! 5. Neighbours unfriendly, They wouldn't let us unload from their parking space!
Mrs Mccaughey May 2018

“We stayed at the house Friday and Saturday night as we were climbing Snowdon for a charity event on the Saturday.”

The house was lovely and clean and well equipped. There was a group of 5 of us and it was perfect. The view from the back was amazing . Only downside was parking which was to be expected in a village .
Dr Seager March 2018

“The house was comfortable, clean, in a great location and we had a very enjoyable holiday, despite the weather!”

The house had a problem with heating that we were aware just beforehand but seemed to have been commented on before by others. Despite that, no action had been taken. There were a few items missing that would have been useful to have-salad bowl, cleaning products etc-but otherwise it was well stocked and had everything we needed. Would recommend, but please fix the boiler!

“Excellent accommodation and location”

Could not fault either the accommodation or the location. With the added benefit of allowing dogs we had an excellent holiday.

About the location

LLANBERIS

Caernarfon 7 miles; Bangor 10 miles; Betws-y-Coed 17 miles.

Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a mecca for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year, a triathlon known as the world's toughest, and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26-mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. The area is also popular for mountain biking, open water swimming and stand up paddle boarding. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 7 miles from Llanberis on the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens.
