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

5 Star Self Catering Cottage

Just had a one week holiday in this top quality cottage. It was equipped with all the the things you could possibly require. We were greeted by its owner Les who showed us around, she is obviously very proud of the top standards of accommodation offered to her guests. To make her guests even more welcome, a complementary welcome pack was provided along with flowers in the kitchen and bedroom. This cottage provided the best self catering accommodation we have ever experienced.

Fabulous

This cottage is absolutely fabulous, it’s got everything, the location is second to none, 3 or 4 minutes from the Menai Bridge into Anglesey and all the mountains, William and Lesley are absolutely fabulous hosts with a great welcome, they will go out of their way to help you, this cottage asks for nothing it’s got everything you could wish for, on our arrival we found in the fridge :: a bottle of wine , strawberries with fresh cream , welsh cakes, it was our second visit in consecutive years. Thank you William and Lesley for a memorable holiday, will never forget you.

A Truly Enjoyable Stay

We took a lot of time to choose our place where to stay given that our interest was to have a place close to the sites we wanted to visit but with time to enjoy the grounds if we wanted to. The cottage served this purpose. We had identified castles, manor houses, parks, the mountains etc the sea all within close proximity.

We spent days out and returned to a cosy cottage that helped us to unwind and relax. The owners are the ideal couple. Always there to assist us in our needs and provide us with places to visit or dine that we had not explored. The cottage itself has first class amenities and shows the care shown by the hosts to ensure that one's stay is a truly relaxing and memorable one. If you want to visit castles, go to Snowdonia, go on boat trips, do some tracking and swim then Tyddyn Sydney Bach is the ideal location for you. We will definitely go back.

Return Visit

We returned again to Tyddyn Sydney Bach which we now call our happy place. Les and William are superb hosts and their cottage is beautifully appointed with everything you could need from a holiday cottage. The gardens are extensive and beautiful and great to sit out in. The cottage and garden is a perfect chill out zone.

Super Upgrade on an Already Excellent Cottage

We recently stayed at Tyddyn Sydney Bach for the 4th or 5th time and we’ll be back there again in July. As usual, the place was spotless, fully-equipped and welcomingly quiet, especially important for people who live in the noisy city, as we do. Again, as usual, Lesley was around to ensure that nothing was amiss, and was always available to provide that extra service that we’ve become used to here, which is obviously why we return so frequently. One thing we were not expecting was the new extension which means that there is now a separate space for the bedroom, which gives onto the garden and the woods, and this also benefits guests by freeing up some space in the lounge, space which is filled by two super comfortable sofas. We come back here because we know that Lesley’s attention to detail is second to none and that all we require will be provided. We love it here!

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!

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.
