Great property and location for family holiday. Hosts are really friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back next year.

Patricia

We have had a lovely holiday at Horseshoe Cottage, spacious room for us all to spread about. We loved feeding the Alpacas and stroking the horses, the boys loved playing football and in the hot tub. The weather was good and we got out and about boys in the sea. Thank you regards Pat

George

Couldn't fault anything , maybe utensils to clean the bbq, ie wire brush. Amazing stay . We were there to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday such an amazing cottage and the owners were friendly and helpful. Let our girls feed the Alpacas, great location yet peaceful.

Jacqueline

Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Horseshoe Cottage. Accommodation was excellent for our family of ten. Three generations! Hot tub was enjoyed by most of us. The only problem we found was there wasnt enough seats for us all to sit together in the living room. Had lovely walks in the area. Beautiful scenery. Thank you to the owners. Horseshoe Cottage is lovely

Hannah

We absolutely loved it. Excellent property

Lovely accommodation, 9 of us stayed as a family for a weekend in October. Owners were lovely gave us some animal food to feed the animals on the farm, and we requested to bring 3 dogs which they were fine with. lovely walk into Abersoch takes around half an hour. Hot tub was clean and always hot, will definitely be visiting again.

Gillian

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage. The beds were super comfy and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The kids loved feeding the animals and stroking the horses. We made a lot of beautiful family memories.

Evelyn

Excellent location and beautiful surroundings. We had a fantastic time, the house was clean and plenty of room to facilitate 11 people. We would definitely book there again in the near future. Also it was great having the availability of the hot tub, especially with the surrounding country side and in a relaxing atmosphere.

This was a great cottage for a family get away! It was big enough for us all to have our own space & bathroom! Clean and the cottage came well equipped with everything you needed, including lovely big bath towels. The location was perfect a short 5min drive into Abersoch. Angie, the owner was very accommodating and her communication was fab, if I ever asked a question. She also allowed us to feed the alpacas on site, which my three year old was very happy about! Overall a fantastic stay with memories to treasure forever. Thanks to Angie and her family x

Lovely property, clean tidy and well equipped facilities for eleven people. Lovely outside area and hot tub was very relaxing. Easy access for Abersoch and surrounding areas. Everyone had an enjoyable stay thank you. Would definitely return.

Claire

Debbie

Callum

Hi Your cottage is a lovely place in a nice location. It is an amazing cottage with an ace fire. I kept that thing going all weekend. Family times were good too which makes the break even better. Thank you for the stay see you next year. Cant wait to go again next year this is already booked.

Perfect holiday home from home for whole of the family, 3 generations stayed at property and it suited all. Bedrooms and bathrooms well appointed and plenty of storage for belongings, lounge and dining areas were very comfortable, never before been to holiday accommodation where there was so much kitchen equipment available , Fantastic when cooking for 10 people and all equipment in goodclean working order. Although it was beginning of November and there was a weather warning for high winds and rain, the property had log burner but we didn't need to light a fire as the central heating was more than enough to heat the property in fact we turned it down. The hot tub was devine, surrounding scenery beautiful, We also had 3 dogs, the garden area is well enclosed and large enough that they could have a run around. The children loved watching the owner Angie in the morning walking her ponies back into their fields . The family are planning when next all off at same time to book and re visit Horseshoe Cottage and Beautiful Abersoch Many thanks to owners Angie and Derek.

This cottage was excellent for our family. Very comfortable. Great location near a lovely village. We had a very good holiday there. The owners were very helpful and attentive and animals were an added bonus for the children.

Lovely stay at horseshoe cottage very peaceful beautiful cottage and everything you need is there Hot tub was really nice feature and looked after daily by the owners garden and seating area was great with lovely outlook Great location Would definitely recommend

Yvonne

Amazing cottage, loved the open plan as works really well for large gatherings. Great kitchen space with all amenities. Parking for 4 cars is perfect. Garden space with fencing for dogs great. Best of all a hot tub that we used every day. Location could not be better, quiet but not far from amenities and the beach. Fantastic for cycling to explore all the beautiful beaches etc. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Very lucky to have fabulous weather for the whole week. Children and dogs enjoyed the garden and local beaches.Overall a great holiday in beautiful surroundings and accommodation.

Great property in perfect location. We loved our stay.

Kayleigh

We stayed at horseshoe cottage for a 60th birthday. There were 10 of us and the space was more than ample for us all. Very clean and there was lots of kitchen equipment. Plenty of towels, bath mats and hand towels. Hot tub was lovely and hot and was under a pergola which was necessary as the weather was not great whilst we were there. There was tea, coffee, and washing up liquid which is a nice touch if you forget and handwash in all bathrooms. Bedrooms were a good size. Parking for 4 cars. 4 bathrooms which was great for a big group. A large table in kitchen for everyone to sit round for meals. We were provided with a cot and high chair for my Niece which were both in good condition. And also a baby gate on the upstairs bedroom. The kids loved the garden and hot tub and there were lots of board games provided. Tv had netflix and YouTube and Internet connection was fast. The kids were never bored. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They allowed the kids to feed the ponies and alpacas at feeding time. You are only 1 mile away from abersoch and there are lots of restaurants and a spar supermarket which stocks most things you would need. Abersoch is beautiful and we would love to return in the summer to appreciate it fully in the nice weather and would certainly stay in horseshoe cottage again. Thankyou for a lovely stay

Sandra

We had a great time, cottage was lovely and very clean

Gillian

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. The owner was helpful and friendly. We would love to stay again.

Briona

Fabulous, wouldnt change a thing! We had such a ball and will be back for sure. Thank you!

Nicola

Still cannot believe the beauty of this place. First time in years my whole family have been under one roof for a weekend away. Small touches like a Christmas tree and wreath went along way. All enjoyed the hot tub even in December, who then came in to the log fire. An absolute stunning home. My brother has already booked for us to go again November time next year.

Good stay for 7 people. Note if you are staying to bring extra toilet roll though as was given 4 not full rolls for 7 women for the whole weekend

Stuart

Fantastic week at a brilliant cottage! Highly recommend

Sylvia

Lovely comfortable cottage in beautiful location. Reasonably convenient for beaches, about 5 minutes into abersoch centre by car. Owner of cottage friendly and quick to attend to minor issues. Would not hesitate tobook again.

Everything was good, apart from the mattresses, definitely an upgrade needed. One of the shower taps downstairs didn't work properly. They were the only issues we had, plenty of outdoor space, lovely jacuzzi.

Alison

The owner Angie was lovely and quickly responded to our questions and queries. The cottage is set in a beautiful location with the beach and town only several minutes away in the car. The kids loved the nearby animals and large garden play area and we really enjoyed the hot tub with the stunning views. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the joy of Abersoch.

Drahomira

Amazing place! Clean, comfortable, everything we needed for our family holiday, friendly and helpful owners, great base for exploring. Thoroughly recommended.

Karen Elizabeth

This cottage is in a lovely part of Wales with walks to numerous beaches. The local pub, the Sun gave us a warm welcome with an open fire at the end of a 4 mile circular walk to Helsmouth a very impressive vista. There are a variety of places for days out but Port Meirion was our favourite. Having been to a few Sykes cottages, while this one was well equipped and the owners really accommodating, being a little older, we came home with back ache as the mattresses were not up to Sykes normal standards. The owners kindly allowed our granddaughter to go and see their beautiful Shetland ponies, which she really enjoyed. The garden is fully enclosed for dogs which was great but the fence was quite low for our Staffie who likes to go on adventures however he loved running and playing in the garden. The hot tub was well used and well maintained. All in all an excellent place to chill together as a family.

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage as a family would definitely recommend to anyone looking a break away. The facilities are amazing, the rural location is scenic and ideal and we met the hosts on arrival who were very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely relaxing Christmas at Horseshoe Cottage This cottage was perfect for our family Xmas break. It had everything we needed for our stay and the hot tub was a bonus. Some lovely walks, with Abersoch and Hells Mouth only 5 minutes away by car.

We had a lovely stay, house is beautiful with lots of little touches everything ... We had a lovely stay, house is beautiful with lots of little touches everything you need is there, comfy beds ect the owners were always on hand if we needed anything Would recommend to other people and we are hoping to get back next year Thank you

Rebecca

The property owners were fantastic and welcoming, abersoch is stunning.

What an amazing property! They had thought of every little detail in the kitchen it was equipped with everything you needed and more. The accommodation was clean and modern. It was around a 40 minute walk along the country lanes into Abersoch. The outside space was lovely with fantastic views of the countryside and the gorgeous ponies and alpacas in the field at the bottom of the garden! The owners were extremely helpful with any questions. Will definitely look to return!

Brenda

Horseshoe Cottage was comfortable. Well presented and well positioned to visit the lovely area. The Landlord, Derek Howarth, was attentive and resolved minor issues immediately. With good weather we had an enjoyable holiday and in that sense our expectations were met. The holiday was booked in 2019 for May 2020. Because of Covid issues we initially wanted to cancel the booking but could find no way of contacting Sykes. Eventually contact was made with us by Sykes who offered a transfer to 2021. When this was agreed, rather than transferring the deposit, Sykes then took the total balance from our account without our agreement. Our complaints on this were either ignored or met with a blank wall. Several emails and letters were sent even to the Managing Director, all without response. We would happily use Horseshoe Cottage again, We will never use Sykes.

Had a great weekend celebrating our 40th anniversary with the family at Horseshoe cottage. Close to hells mouth beach and Abersoch. Our grandchildren got to feed the resident alpacas Definitely visit the small village shop, sells basics very friendly owner. Definitely recommend
