Ffrwdd Galed Uchaf

It's our 3rd year here we are fussy so that says it all superb

Lovely, comfortable home from home.

Felt at home the moment we walked in. Having the downstairs bedroom and bathroom was needed due to mobility. Great bathroom and the water pressure was very good in the shower. Pleasant, well kept garden the backs onto a wild garden, so you’re able to relax at the picnic table with a drink and watch the butterflies. The kitchen is very nice and spacious. My only critique, is that I have issues with back injuries and standing at a sink becomes painful, so, a dishwasher would be beneficial. That said, the view from the kitchen window is pleasant. I would definitely book this property again.

Dusty behind the doors and more so in toilet/bathroom, pictures not up to date ie view from the back is now a garage, salt and pepper pots were both Salt not much tea and coffee available, school was opposite, vehicle for sale on the front door and not nice to see.

Door to Fire not locking in place correctly, pub not worth visiting. Nice place but will not visit again.

No issues with the property apart from the height of a couple of doorways.

The owners do warn you, but I forgot a few times, (my fault). Great location for touring around. Ideal for walkers, cyclists and there are plenty of lakes for water sports and just for chilling out. If you are interested in history there are places you can easily visit from the cottage.

Lovely, comfortable cottage on the edge of Eryri.

Very clean and modern. Will definitely be back.

Lovely property, handy location for all attractions

A wonderful place to stay and I’d certainly recommend.

Plenty of space, available parking and the property is located in a very central area to drive for many of the Castles and local attractions in North Wales. It was located in a quiet area and amenities and shops close by and a lovely little pub a short walk away.

A fabulous cottage.

Beautifully cared for and lovely to return to after a day of walking. It is situated perfectly for so many places to visit in north wales. I would return but now have a dog so sadly cannot use this cottage. Would highly recommend

This is such a lovely place to stay.

Immaculately presented and maintained. Super outside space for handling dirty gear after outdoor activities. Great off road parking. Safe and secure and quiet. We really enjoyed it

its our second stay here and its absolutey perfect and im a very fussy person

Lovely cottage, very clean, comfortable with all modern facilities.

Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey beaches. Loved it.

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage, everything that made it a home form home place.

This was my second stay and will be staying again.

Excellent property.

Well kept. Very convenient to visit surrounding attractions. Cooperative host. A few more toiletries would help.

We have had the best time there and everything was just perfect!

! Kitchen was fully stocked up, bathroom clean and so powerful. We couldn't fault it!! If we were to come ( which we are planning ;>) we would love to stay there again. Price was fab too!! So thank you very much xx

The cottage was beautiful and in a peaceful village location with great road connections to Anglesey, Snowdon and beyond.

It is decorated to an exceptional standard, spotlessly clean with a fully equipt kitchen. We did struggle to use the oven without instructions and ended up with grilled pizza which wasn't great but this could easily be overcome if instructions were made available in the welcome pack. Personally, I found the pillows on the bed to be quite flat and had to grab extra off of another bed and my partner found the bath towels to be too small at 6ft. But overall no major issues and we would happily return tomorrow if we could! Thank you for having us.

A lovely stay at a well-kept, clean, and authentic Welsh cottage.

You can see the attention to detail in every room, from the skylights in the upper bedrooms to maximise the countryside-moonlight, to an abundance of logs and firefighters in the basket ready to welcome you. There is one bathroom which branches off the living area, however we didn’t find this to be too much of a fuss and surely is a logistical choice due to the history of the building. The cottage sits on a suburban street however is as quiet as if it were on its own, and is driving distance (10mins) to one of the biggest Tesco’s we’ve ever seen, slightly north. The back garden is kept incredibly neat and tidy, with a picnic bench for morning hot drinks and breakfast to be enjoyed as you overlook the forest. The two bedrooms upstairs have double beds and lots of space, and the downstairs single bed is big enough for one guest. All have wardrobes. A few improvements or amendments for suggested future guest experiences: the freezer inside was mostly out of use due to ice build-up. The log burner was full of ash when we arrived, which is just a little inconvenience that we didn’t expect after a long drive. The TV is placed awkwardly so it doesn’t service the entire rooms furniture; an adjustable wall mount would fix this. There’s a lot of pressure to save energy, which is understandable from a personal standpoint and for the environment, however as a paying guest, it doesn’t have as much charm. It became apparent, whilst waiting for the heating to kick in, that all of the radiators were set to zero. Again, not the end of the world, but another fiddly task that you don’t really want to after a long journey. We were encouraged to tidy up after ourselves and leave the place as we found it, however no materials to do so with, so we had to make do. The same with the washing machine advertised; a simple washing tablet or two for the stay would be a nice touch as guests looking to find a home from home for a weekend. Overall, a building you can’t fault in an idyllic location; a few minor changes would elevate the cottage from a 4.9 to a 5/5.

This cottage is lovely the best thing is it’s absolutely quiet the majority of the time with just a few cars passing plus it’s in a great location to all the things we needed to do we had a faultless stay

The cottage was wonderful, well decorated with lots of amenities and well situated though transport is required from the cottage.

Very quiet and tranquil which helped us relax particularly in the evening’s. While there our television broke but the owners had it replaced within the hour, really great customer care and service. Only minor issue was bathroom door wouldn’t lock and we had brought my In-laws so the rule was, don’t try the door if the light switch was down. Had it just been us three I wouldn’t even mention the lock but as we were sharing we had to come up with a plan. Wonderful stay, will happily return in the future.

Beautiful property.

I have never stayed at a holiday cottage that has been so spotlessly clean. The owners had provided everything we could have thought of needing and more. The gentleman we called for the key arrangements was really friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this cottage and won't hesitate to book again if we are returning to the area. Thank you.

Positive: We loved the finish to the property, the kitchen and the shower were fantastic and we believed done to a high standard.

The garden was brilliant and our 2 year old loved running around. The owners were great with their communication and very accommodating. Negative: The mattresses were not comfortable and we struggled to get a consistent night sleeps. The sofas feel like they're becoming flat after use. The dining area whilst nice, lacked cushions and you wouldn't want to sit at for extended periods of time.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, it also has a lovely sitting out area and is situation allows easy access to the surrounding area.

We hope to return.

This cottage was really well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a fabulous location, close to many attractions so being a great base for us.

Would highly recommend this property.

Once again, myself and my sister had a most enjoyable holiday in the most luxurious cottage.

The perfect location and the most beautiful scenery that North Wales has to offer. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property, the only thing that put me off was the building at the back, ruins your view however this is out of your control.

Lovely stay!

Cottage beautifully decorated and very clean, comfortable beds and a nice place to relax if weather is not very good.

Just extra toilet rolls as one is not enough for a family who stays a week in your cottage. otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and perfect location for exploring so many beautiful places in North Wales.

Cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely book again!

Good place to stay .

The house was tidy . Warm and welcoming . Close to touristic attractions. . Close to facilities.

A beautiful cosy cottage situated in the most stunning part of Snowdonia.

I highly recommend this property and the owner's excel themselves for your comfort and happiness.Because myself and my sister love North Wales so much, we have stayed at Ffrwrd Galed 4 times this year!

As always, we had a lovely holiday in the beautiful cottage - It is such a pleasure to stay here - the scenery is absolutely stunning and out of this world.

Needless to say, we will be coming back to drink in more of North Wales's natural beauty. Thank you very much.

Lovely cottage a home from home and accessible and helpful owner.

Yet another wonderful holiday at this beautiful cottage in stunning North Wales.

Mr and Mrs Owen are such a lovely couple and it is such a pleasure to know them ! We are going back again next month (can't wait), and we have already booked for next year !! Most highly recommended

This was a really comfortable cottage to stay in (emphasis on really!

), it was aesthetically pleasing and we found it easy enough to get to everything we had booked to do during our stay. The children loved the garden but we didn’t feel the layout was particularly child friendly (for a 3 year old) as there was a large step/ledge onto slates. We had a few minor issues including; the gate that lead from the garden to the drive/road didn’t lock (or stay closed), between the drive and the garden there was another partial fence we felt could have done with a gate to secure the garden too. Also there were no baking trays to cook on ( we bought some and left them there for future guests :) ) and there was food left in the freezer from a previous guest. Overall we had a really lovely time as it was a very comfortable and homely base to come back to after our days out!

We had a lovely week at your cottage very cosy and traditional with all the home comforts weather was amazing and the area was perfect for what we were looking for 5 minutes drive from zip world Quarry….

.thank you so much for letting us rent your cottage…..David Paula Ruby and Lola

Excellent property in a very good location.

Short drive to lots of attractions. Very comfortable and homely cottage with great facilities. A very enjoyable stay.

Great place to stay, we did everything we wanted to do and seen some wonderful parts of Wales that we have not explored before.

Very clean, warm and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Many thanks!

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage - it was very cosy and comfortable and we will be going back there again in September - we are looking forward to it already - The owners Mr and Mrs Owen are extremely friendly and helpful and it was a pleasure to meet them.

Sue and Diana

Absolutely amazing, exceeded expectations thank you so much for making this picture perfect cottage available for us to make memories.

Highly recommend, great location for getting out and about in the beautiful area.

This was the best location of the three cottages we have had in Snowdonia.

The property has been finished to a very high standard.

The cottage was very nice, very clean & comfortable.

I’ve had 2 holiday cottages for 19 years so I’m quite fussy. The only thing I would say is I’ve not been to a property that doesn’t have a bottle of toilet cleaner.

Lovely cottage.

Cosy, clean and well equipped. Great location for snowdonia and all the things to do in the area.

The cottage was immaculate.

Very comfortable sofas and beds, warm and cosy, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water and a brilliant shower. Lovely outdoor space. Excellent location for travelling to Anglesey, Snowdon and surrounding peaks, and the fabulous ZipWorld is just 10 minutes away. Huge Tesco Extra at Bangor less than 15 mins away too. We also enjoyed the attention of the beautiful and very friendly neighbouring cat! A very enjoyable holiday!

The cottage was in a perfect location to explore footpaths and local attractions.

It was cosy and very clean and had everything you could want was a home from home. Beds were comfortable and the sofas can't fault anything. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Lovely old cottage, which has been completely modernised and well equipped, particularly the large walk in shower that's great for getting a young family all clean after a beach day - wow there are some beautiful beaches nearby!

Excellent base for exploring North Wales, just a short drive from the expressway going East West and the A5 going North South. Literally our only gripe was the double bed mattress comfort, could feel the springs and bounced quite a bit, at least needs a foam topper perhaps a higher quality mattress. Didn't get in the way of a fantastic holiday though, thank you!

Location is excellent.

You can easily visit anywhere in north Wales with this cottage as a base.

Really lovely cottage.

It was very comfortable, decorated very nicely and well situated for visiting both Snowdonia national park and Anglesey. We really enjoyed our time there.

Really well situated, lovely little cottage

It is a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, can't fault it at all.

Fantastic cottage,when we arrived we thought that it had just been decorated and we were one of the first to use it(it was so clean) Then reading the visitors book we could see that many couples had been before.

Covid-19 fears were soon forgotten. Tregarth was the perfect location,most places of interest were close enough(the fantastic Zip wire was only ten minutes away)A pity the local pub was shut and we had to drive or get a taxi to eat out.Small things that couldn't be helped. Thank you Sykes. We had a memorable holiday.

Cottage was as described, was even nicer than the listing and super clean.

Felt extremely Covid safe

Easy booking, cottage kust as described.

Everything we needed was at the beautiful cottage, owner replied to any questions we had swiftly. Our first time with Sykes holiday cottages and we will use this company again

Cosy cottage in a great location.

Really clean and tidy which is a comfort in these COVID times.

Great location for exploring Snowdonia!

The property was lovely, well kept and clean. Perfect for a family of 4.

The cottage was just as described in the listing - if not better.

Incredibly comfortable, well equipped and extremely cosy. The communication from the owner was great before, during and after our stay. We couldn't have asked for anymore. We certainly hope to return to this property in the future. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Very lovely comfortable and warm cottage in a beautiful part of Wales.

We were welcomed with a christmas tree, bottle of fizz and a tin of cookies, a useful large foil roasting tray and enough kindling and logs for a couple of days fire. Mr. Owen was quick to respond to a couple of issues we had. Would choose to stay here again.

Brilliant.

Wonderful cottage in a wonderful location.

The cottage was very modern and comfortable.

Ideal for a short stay! Close to snowdonia area and coast.

The cottage was decorated to a high standard.

It had a lovely cosy feel and was in an ideal location for our needs. The owner was very helpful too with places to eat, Taxi’s etc We would definitely like to return one day

It was a great 4 days - the facilities were fantastic.

The folder telling your where everything was included places of interest to visit which was great. Would definitely recommend :)

The cottage is well finished and looks like it has only recently been refurbished.

It has decent internet connectivity which can be an issue in Wales. The washing machine and dryer are an added bonus as not all places have these facilities.A good selection of crockery, glasses and decent plates etc.Excellent shower.Ideally located for things to see and visit in the North of Wales. Good outside area to have breakfast in the sun. The bad bits, the sofas in the cottage pictures are not the ones in the cottage, in fact the living room layout was completely different, I expect to have what is in the property description as that is one of the reasons it was booked in the first place. There is nowhere to put soap, shower gel, shampoo in the shower. The single room where our granddaughter slept is opposite the kitchen and the road is on the other side, the single glazed windows and traditional doors don't stop the noise so it can be a bit of an issue for families trying to get young children to sleep. No brochures or information apart from the brief information in the file. No games in the cupboard or recycling bin under the sink (both in the information pack). The only real bug bear for us was the Property Hand Back Policy, strip all the beds, clean the oven, clean the fridge, empty all the bins, basically clean from top to bottom before you leave at 10 . It doesn't leave a lot of time to get a shower, dressed, breakfast, pack your car etc before 10. You also have to put the bins out the night before, which we did, only for them not to be collected (large bin gets collected every 3 weeks, no idea when next due collection). Most people will clean what they have used so maybe it could be worded less like a list to a cleaning company or put in the booking information so that guests are aware.

The cottage was of the highest specifications.

The owners should be proud of their achievements providing a cottage we could find no fault with.

We found this a good and clean accommodation, just a few things missing that would of made this a super place I.

e. Tin opener, proper freezer, toilet brush, potato peeler. These may seem a bit unessential but would have made the holiday a bit more relaxing. But would like to say thank you to the owners for our lovely stay.
