Bwthyn y Dderwen (Oak Cottage)

Lovely friendly hosts and superb location with excellent views.

The cottage is equipped with the majority of things you need, however there was an absence of a few things like a dust pan and brush, which I couldn't find. There was a hoover shared by the 3 cottages in the block which we shared with the other guests staying, we have 2 very hairy dogs so it would have been handy if each cottage had their own. A couple of dish washer tablets would have been handy although there was some washing up liquid. We were concerned however about the fixing of the front door, which requires some remedial work.

We had a very enjoyable holiday.

Lovely rural cottage, quiet, comfortable perfect for exploring this area of Wales

Fantastic location, great property and the owners of the property couldn't have been nicer or friendlier.

We will definitely be back. The only criticisms we could make are the kitchen units were in poor condition and could do with new doors and the shower head holder was at an angle that meant it was very difficult to use. Oh and the bolt on the stable door was a spoon. They are minor things but relatively cheap and easy to rectify and would make a great property into an even more amazing one.

Fantastic location, peaceful, scenic, very dog friendly and lovely hosts.

We had a great time cottage was beautiful but I think the children’s play area needed to be looked at.

It was dirty , rusty and broken toys and swings and frames were full of bird excrement . Such a shame as this was partly why I booked this place .the owners were lovely and very friendly

We had a lovely time.

Accommodation was lovely as was surrounding area.

A great, very quiet peaceful location that is really close to so many different towns, beaches and attractions.

The hosts are wonderful and the cottages are spot on.

Well done Sykes for organizing Beautiful cozy cottage Warm welcome.

Nothing too much trouble. Lovely location Thoroughly enjoyed a long overdue holiday with my husband

This accommodation is perfect if you are looking for peace and tranquillity.

A beautiful rural setting off the beaten track.Our cottage was spotless and well equipped for self catering.We will definately return.

Wonderful location, very attentive hosts.

Have already recommended it to our family.

The cottage was very comfortable and located centrally on the peninsula so we were never far from the places we wanted to visit.

The owners were really friendly and helpful. The whole family enjoyed our week very much going to see the beautiful sights then returning to the tranquility of our cottage. We have all agreed we would go again.

The cottage we stayed in at Rhosyddd Bach was Bwthyn y Dderwen (Oak Cottage).

It was absolutely beautiful inside and so atmospheric. The courtyard it stands in aids itself to be a real social area with the adjoining cottages and outside tables which we sat out on during the day and at night. The views surrounding the cottage are amazing and it is so peaceful there. Our hosts were so warm, very welcoming and very accommodating and totally respected our privacy during our stay. We all felt so at home. I would recommend going to Rhosydd Bach courtyard cottages to anyone.

About a mile of really rough lane leading to cottage, full of large pot holes.

We had to fix shower head, which had been reported on numerous occations, frying pan dirty and unusable, lamp minus it's shade and duvets grotty and greatly in need of replacement. Would not return to Oak Cottage I'm afraid

The cottage was perfect, we were a family comprising 2 older adults, 2 younger adults and a 6 year old boy; the facilities were amazing.

...lots of bikes and toys for the youngest and the peace and tranquility for the oldies as well as being so convenient for the highlights of any trip to Llyn...castles, beaches, steam trains....we'll be back!!

highly recommended lovely quiet area with stunning views all around yet close enough to all amenities great space for kids just to be out and free to run round with out the worry of them being near any roads would definitely go back

Very pleasant stay, very friendly and welcoming family run cottage.

Will recommend and will stay again .

We enjoyed our stay in Oak Cottage as a base for exploring quite a wide area as we wanted to visit Bardsey Island, Anglesey and Snowdonia all of which were easily accessible.

The cottage was clean, homely and well presented. We were greeted by the owner and had a very welcoming reception. As a previous review mentioned, the shower is not great! It sprays water where the hose meets the head and as there is no bath, this is the only means of washing but we did get used to it and mentioned it in the Visitor's Book as requiring attention. The cottage is set in a very peaceful location which makes it a nice retreat at the end of a busy day. We were not desperately impressed with Pwllheli itself, apart from the Asda which is handy, but there are other locations nearby like Criccieth which are good for eating out.

We had an enjoyable time however the cottage owners need to invest some time in giving the place a good clean and fix things which are out of date or broken.

The shower was unusable, the head leaked and it flew off the wall when turned on. The shower screen was loose too. There was a terrible smell of damp in the bathroom but this was probably due to the shower. The tv in the attic didn’t work and to get the tv in the downstairs bedroom to work you had to mess around with scart leads. The oven turned itself off and only ignited again the following day. The children’s toys and play area is a nice touch but you have to clean and maintain the area otherwise it becomes a bit unsuitable - a simple jet wash would help! Also ensure other guests pick up their dog poo especially in the play area. We had a lovely break but wouldn’t return here, it’s very outdated and a lack of maintenance and care is a shame.

Very good location, ideal to stay with small children and dogs.

Very clean and everyone was very friendly. Recommended.

We had a great time.

We have been before so knew what to expect. The owners are lovely people and there is a lot in the cottage. I also took our amazon fire stick and our WIFI box and they worked great. As the weather was wet it was handy to watch films at night. There is WIFI there to and that works fine. The cottage is very clean and tidy and all you could want to stay and visit a lovely part of the world. The stairs are spiral so maybe problematic for some people but take your time and they are fun. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and recommend the cottage.

The cottage we stayed in was lovely.

Very comfortable and had all the things we needed. We have 2 small children so the park and toys that were there were fantastic for them. We have already recommended the holiday cottages to our friends and family and we are already considering coming back this year ;-)

Lovely stay in a beautiful cottage.

Very friendly welcome from the family when we arrived. Would definitely return. Had a lovely Christmas there, thank you

Warm cosy cottage.

I was particularly impressed by how child friendly the cottages were. After we rang and asked for a travel cot and highchair, there was also a baby bath and top and tail bowl, plus plastic plates and kids cutlery. There were loads of toys for the children to play with. We had a wonderful time.

We had a brilliant holiday.

Very warm and welcoming hosts. Beautifully presented property. Comfortable and homely. Kids loved having outdoor space to play in.

The accommodation was as listed and our dogs were welcome, however the owners 2 dogs were allowed out loose and attacked my jack Russel who was on a lead.

The owners dogs ran from their accommodation and attacked our dogs as we were preparing to walk them. This was right outside our booked cottage. I quickly picked up my dog and the owners called theirs back. Disappointing. No apology and could have been worse.

The owners were very attentive and kind.

They were well equipped for families with young children and went out of their way to help us with the paraphernalia you need with little ones! Thank you

Location and accomodation was perfect.

Child and pet friendly. This was the first time that we had taken two springer spaniel with us and the owners were more than helpful. We definitely will be returning in 2017. Had a look around the other cottages too and they are all delightful. Couldn't wish for anything more. Thank you.
