Bywyd Da (232 Cae Du) Reviews

Robert
We all loved the property. It exceeded our expectations and was spacious enough for all of us. Everything we needed was provided.
Great cottage in a good location. Highly recommend. Good location, clean and has everything you need.
Rang sykes to enquire if there was a freezer in the kitchen as we were celebrating two birthday s ,told just an under counter fridge. There was a freezer in the garage which was great ,being 7 of us Freezer should be listed on the information when booking. .Water went cold,rang agents and it was dealt with very quickly.
Philip
Thanks everything perfect
Joanne
We had a lovely stay. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed as a family of 5! We will definitely stay again.
This property was everything we asked for and more . . there were 4 generations of our family on this 4 day break and it ticked every box for all .. the communal space was the perfect space for us to spend our feet up time together .. the sofa was so comfortable and the added bonus of blankets made it really cosy .. sadly the weather wasnt on our side so eating outside fabulous space or coffee drinks on the balcony werent an option The house was immaculately clean and everything had been thought of for our stay We have been coming to Abersoch for 55 years and always had our own caravan this was the first time we have stayed in accommodation there The location is perfect Great house great location .. fingers crossed better weather next time The Smiths
A lovely place to stay in a great location. Very clean and well maintained. Fully intend to stay again soon.
Richard
Great house. Loved short distance to the town. 4 friends just wanted a chilled few days and it delivered. Thank you.
Gwenann
We had a lovely stay at Bywyd Da! The cottage was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Fab location. We will definitely book again. Thank you
Jonathan
We were very happy Nicely decorated and well presented property in a great location Thank you
What a place! Had a lovely week in this beautiful property, perfect location and great facilities. Would recommend to stay here and will definitely be returning and hopefully the weather will be as perfect! Thanks
Great communication before we travelled nothing was too much trouble, even down to checking what coffee machine the house had! The property is beautifully decorated and clean, this was an initially a concern to me as so many holiday lets arent but this was spotless. It also had comfy beds & nice bedding. The ability to book a 3 night stay was a huge benefit to us too as many properties want a 5 or 7 night minimum stay in school holidays which doesnt work for us anymore with older children. It was also well priced for a 3 night stay. We will definitely book again. Thankyou
A lovely and attractive property. Crockery, cutlery and equipment was very well provided although I was disappointed with the condition of the non stick frying pans and baking dishes. I suspect that they had been previously ill treated but I was put off from using them. I couldnt find a potato peeler! There is no heating on the upper floor but although the weather was cold and wet we were never cold. However, it was not easy to dry towels as there is no heated towel rail. We made a makeshift rack in the airing cupboard using the loose rails that were there! The bed on the top floor was a bit strange as it had two mattresses which kept sliding. We also found the 15 Tog quilt very warm. I think people need to be aware that the ceiling in this room slopes rather a lot on one side of the bed. I am only 5ft 1 inch tall but had to bend over almost double to get into bed or get clothing from the bedside drawers and this problem was exacerbated by the thickness of the mattress. We think an extractor in the bathroom on the upper floor would be really good. Freeing up a cupboard in the kitchen for dry food would be a good idea. Perhaps glasses could be stored in the bookcasecupboard in the dining area. The fire extinguisher and blanket should really be fixed to the wall for easy access in the event of a fire. Despite my comments above, we did enjoy our stay at the property and would definitely consider staying again when visiting relatives. It is conveniently situated for walking into Abersoch. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side to do that.
Extra shower over bath would be useful Ridiculously bizarre numbering system on the estate! Please put house number on outside of house. Stress need for own towels. Kitchen floor was not soundproofed so downstairs bedroom was noisy Light switch in shower room was in a bad spot. Lots of good facilities and very clean. Thank you
Victoria
A cottage sleeping 8 should have 8 comfy seats in lounge. Also a second shower would be better. Very well stocked kitchen
The heating and hot water was not on when we arrived. Apparently the cleaners should have ensures it was ready. It took a couple of hours to get it going after phone calls between us, Sykes and the owner. There was no info pack at the house which would have helped. The shower was very small and didnt frown very well. The garage light did not work. The house was lovely styled very well and easy access to the village.
