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

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.

Spotless, High Quality Stay!

I may have stayed in this holiday cottage over 2 years ago, but I can still remember the high quality stunning cottage perfectly.
I had two 'long term' stays at Tyddyn Syndey Bach whilst completing my PGCE course at Bangor University.
The location was perfect as it was a 5 minute drive to the University and the cottage is in a stunning garden round the back of the owners house.
The owners were very friendly and, as they lived on-site, were always willing to help if any issues arose.
They have fantastic knowledge of the area and were always willing to recommend interesting places to visit.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this holiday cottage to anybody!

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.
