Title: Holiday let up and running!!!!
Post by: Ghdp on February 18, 2016, 09:08:49 pm
Well. At last we have a proper agent and a web page
http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/North-Wales-Snowdonia-Bryn-Rhyd-yr-Arian/Cedar-Lodge-932671.html#duration=7&calendar=2016-06&changeover=5 (http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/North-Wales-Snowdonia-Bryn-Rhyd-yr-Arian/Cedar-Lodge-932671.html#duration=7&calendar=2016-06&changeover=5)
I hope it is ok to post this. If anyone is interested in seeing what we have dusted down and polished up for holiday makers ( actually it was in pretty good order really) here is our holiday let.
If anyone would like a holiday in what is arguably (but I would win) the most beautiful place on earth please pm me. Any direct bookings will be able to expect a 20% discount as that is what we pay to our agents and we are happy to waive that ( assuming our agent is as philanthropic )

I will try to take a good look when I get home tonight. I think the porch might be too small to turn in on reflection. I will pm you MGW

It is indeed a beautiful spot.  If you haven't let a holiday cottage before and would like some tips and wrinkles courtesy of our twelve years of letting, just PM me.

Looks lovely and you've spent a lot of money I can see, hope that goes brilliantly for you.  I did read it as Skye and not Sykes so was confused what came up but looks great, good luck.

How strict is the one-pet-only rule?

Stunning!  I used to pound the hills round there back in the day when I wasn't an old knacker.

Well done Gdhp it looks stunning.  I may well book but probably early next year as I would like to visit Snowdonia and do some walking but this year is all sorted. I have used Sykes for 3 years for a sea view flat I have in Broadstairs.  Found them very good.  Year one can be a bit slow getting booking, year two a bit quicker, this year already fully let March to October

Life being a complicated thing I now half share with my sister my parent holiday let of 30 years and the Lake District is a strong contender for most stunning place too so I would do you a deal on the same terms as yours should you need a change of view!

Again a couple of years to really get going now books all year round. So book Ghdp's first as they need to fill their books but I would always be happy to see any of you guys on my visitor list.

What a good idea. I love North Wales. Might wait until the weather is a bit kinder though.


I'm not in the wheelchair all the time and it usually stays in the car but may need charging up at some point if we stayed for a week in which case it would need to come in or get near enough a socket to plug it in.

Juke's mum - the one pet rule is there as an indication of willingness to accept pets but does not scare off the none pet owners. Sykes always ring with our other cottages to ask of we will accept variations on this and we decide on a case by case basis. TBH we usually say yes if someone is honest and asks and tells us a bit about the dogs. More than two would be a challenge tho.

We have the same with our cottage .... have had 3 dogs here once ... best behaved of all the dogs we've had!

We have a strict no animals rule:  I don't want unwormed dogs leaving their muck on the fields, let alone having them anywhere near livestock.

MF you are not in Wales ..... people who come to Wales do not want to spend more on kennelling their dog than renting a cottage!

Gosh, what a stunning setting - well, of course, north wales.... but it really is glorious looking.  Good luck.
