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

A perfect cottage in a perfect location with perfect hosts
Our stay at Tyddyn Sydney Bach was delayed for 12 months due to the pandemic, when we did eventually arrived Les was so welcoming and gave us a guided tour of the cottage which we fell in love with before we even crossed the threshold. The cottage is spotlessly clean, it has everything you could need for a self catering holiday. The delay in taking up our holiday was to our advantage, Les and William have extend the studio we first booked into a cottage with patio doors from the bedroom into the most perfect three acres of garden. Not only are Les and William the most obliging hosts but know the area better than any single tourist guide could. They gave us great advice for days out as well as eating out, although there are plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from. Les and William, thank you for welcoming us into your cottage and we will see you next year. In the meantime, stay safe.

Well Situated and Well Equipped Cottage

Comfortable, clean and handy for mountains and sea. 5*
We have stayed here every year for the last 8 years, and have always found the cottage to be well equipped, comfortable and very clean. We have stayed at many cottages in our time and this is the best of the lot! This year Les has out-done herself by adding a bedroom which makes the cottage even more spacious and appealing. Les and William are helpful and accommodating hosts who will do everything to give you a memorable stay.

Retreat in the woodland beside Menai Strait
The cottage is quaint on the outside, contemporary and well equipped on the inside. It is perfectly located for visiting all of the many attractions which North Wales has to offer.There are supermarkets in close proximity and pubs/ restaurants too. Les and William are excellent hosts and provide over and above what is expected. The welcome package of welsh cakes/strawberries& cream and champagne were very much appreciated and enjoyed when we arrived on a wet Saturday afternoon. Also the standard of linens provided and complimentary toiletries is of a very high standard. Les is so helpful and thoughtful and genuinely takes an interest in her guests and does her utmost to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable stay. We have already asked if we can return next year.

Very Comfortable and Thoughtfully Appointed Cottage
Very comfortable and thoughtfully appointed cottage in a lovely setting. Despite the weather, we have had a great week exploring an area we have never got to before. Bodnant Garden was the highlight - it didn't rain until the evening! Big bath rowels - Hurrah!

What an Amazing Wee Nook!
Les welcomed us early Saturday afternoon and proceeded to give us the most usefully comprehensive introductory show-around of Tyddyn Sydney Bach. Within an hour of arrival we were graced with the welcome of a pheasant and a jay. In the days since we've heard song thrush, siskins, blackcap and all the usual feathered thugs of the garden. During our stay we've visited Menai Strait, Isle of Anglesey (a red squirrel stronghold), Llandudno, Portmeirion and Bethesda (for ZipWorld Velocity!). Only one day was shortened due to it dinging-it-doon (raining) but we managed to complete the dune walk near Newborough to Llanddwyn beach (Anglesey) with our getting soaked. Thanks for your hospitality and enjoy Summer 2024!

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.
