Our Reviews

Take a look at what our guests say...

I’d love to share with you some of the wonderful reviews our guests have said about their stays at Tyddyn Sydney Bach. It makes me so happy to read each review and see how much our little cottage has been a part of so many special memories.

Many of our guest reviews mention how Tyddyn Sydney Bach is a cosy and relaxing haven, perfect for a peaceful holiday for two. William and I always aim to keep the cottage spotlessly clean and well-equipped, so it feels like a home away from home. And, of course, the lovely garden adds to the charm!

Our location here near Bangor, just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Menai Strait, is something many of our guests appreciate. Guest reviews reveal that our guests love being close to the mountains, the sea, and all the historical sites that North Wales and Anglesey have to offer. It's always a pleasure to suggest places to visit and dine – there's so much to explore around here!

What truly warms my heart is when guests come back to visit us again. Some even call Tyddyn Sydney Bach their 'happy place', which is the most wonderful compliment. It feels like welcoming old friends each time they return.

Our reviews shown below are a treasure trove of kind words and memories. From couples celebrating anniversaries to those simply seeking a tranquil getaway, each message is a reminder of the special moments shared here.

I hope this gives you a little glimpse into the experiences that await at Tyddyn Sydney Bach. William and I would be delighted to welcome you and help create lasting memories for you too.

Best wishes,

Les

“Perfect holiday cottage for two in North Wales”

What a wonderful cottage, and very friendly and helpful hosts.
It is so well appointed , nothing lacking, garden is beautiful. Peaceful and quiet.
Well placed for a holiday in Snowdonia. We will definitely return. April 2014

“Best Self Catering ever stayed in!”

Coming from South Africa and touring Whales, we stayed for 7 nights after spending 5 nights in Bath rural area. The rates were very similar between the two establishments but the quality of accommodation all-over of Tyddyn Sydney Bach was a world apart from that experienced in Bath.
A very friendly lady, Les Day, met us upon arrival and took time to explain everything we should know about our new home. Not only was the apartment, very neat and fully equipped with everything you should need during your stay, but we also found milk in the fridge, flowers on the table and a fruit-loaf for us to enjoy!
The apartment was well stocked with washing machine an dishwasher powder, even the liquid for hand washing your dishes were supplied.
Bedding and mattress were of very high quality and CLEAN. The bathroom spotless and comfortable, fitted with towel-warmer and high quality towels.
The environment around the apartment is very neat and quiet allowing you to have a peaceful stay.
Les and her husband were always available to supply help and information when necessary but always respecting our privacy.
Rest assure, the photos of the apartment you see on internet is a true reflection of what can be expected, there will be no surprises. My only surprise was that it was rated 4 stars and not 5!
The free Wifi/internet access was a real bonus.
Les Day is a real asset for the hales hospitality industry. June 2013

“Fantastic cottage with everything that you need”

Really lovely cottage in fantastic garden. Very warm welcome. Les showed us round and explained how everything worked. The roses and bara brith were a lovely touch. All mod cons and in easy reach of several supermarkets. The cottage is well situated for all major tourist spots. We were also very lucky as the sun shone every day. One of our best holidays ever. Thanks Les and William. July 2013

“Wonderful Cottage with Wonderful Hosts”

I was working at Bangor University for 6 weeks and this proved to be the ideal rental accommodation. It was very well equipped, having everything I needed for my stay. My hosts, Les and William, were friendly and helpful and made sure I was completely comfortable. When I next visit Bangor I'll again be staying at the cottage. May 2013

“A superb and relaxing week in Bangor”

We spent a superb week in the cottage in Bangor. Completely relaxing, trouble free, very helpful, and kind, friendly, clean, comfortable, quiet, well equipped, reasonably priced, knowlegable, helpful, joyful, stylish, well looked after, ... and much more.

Gem of a Cottage Set in Beautiful Grounds

Tyddyn Sydney Bach is a gem of a cottage set in beautiful grounds.  Les is a first class host, always available when needed - thank you.  Clean and comfortable, we look forward to returning.  Hopefully to explore the gardens in better weather and visit more of the wonderful area.  Ticked off walk at Aber Falls, Penrhyn Castle, Plas Mawr at Conwy, Bodnant Gardens, spectacular end of October and Plas Newydd.

Lovely Cottage and Beautiful Gardens

A lovely cottage and a very warm welcome.  The flowers and Welsh cakes were much appreciated as were the tea, coffee etc.  Lovely Spot and beautiful gardens, and not too far from anything.  Thank you!

An Absolutely Lovely Cottage!

An absolutely lovely cottage, exactly as described, with everything provided.  Thank you for the very warm welcome and the lovely flowers and Welsh cakes.  Also for the little extras of the tea, coffee, sugar, milk  etc to get us started.  A perfect retreat, we have had a really great week!

Beautiful Gardens and Comfortable Bungalow

A lovely stay with Les and William, a beautiful relaxing time.  You drive up the lane and it opens up to beautiful gardens and the bungalow, made very welcome by Les and William.  The bungalow has everything you need, and so comfortable.  This was ideal for us.  We will be back and do all the things the area around offers.  Thank you so much.

Superbly Situated Cottage

We have enjoyed a thoroughly fantastic week, despite some mixed weather.  The cottage is superbly situated for visiting Anglesey as well as Snowdonia, so we could do what we love best - walking and paddle-boarding.  Also a trip into the past with a visit to Portmeirion (haven't been there since a child).  Above all, the cottage was a lovely surprise; so well equipped and larger than we expected.  Love all the little touches; flowers, Welsh cakes, toiletries and actual sharp knives!  Les and William were so welcoming and a font of local knowledge.  Thank you.
