Skerry Vore Reviews

The property was fantastic and we would highly recommend it. We had a 3 month gap during a house sale and purchase so required accommodation. Whilst we did stay at other properties we found the location, setting, privacy and property quality drew us back several times.
This was our first Christmas away and we was very anxious, however this was a home away from home. It was so quiet and peaceful, the hot tub was amazing in the dark looking at the stars and the garden was lovely and secure so we didnt have to worry about the dogs being out there. It was all so modern and can honestly say I couldnt fault anything about this home thank you again
Absolutely Fantastic! Loved staying here so much we extended our stay.
Love it so much we extended our stay

We stayed at Gatekeepers Cottage for one week and loved the area and surroundings. Although first impressions of the cottage were not good toilet seat on arrival was completely loose and ill fitting, had to allow a couple of minutes each time we used it to get it in a position to sit on it. Also hob did not work properly, very frustrating at meal times, we gave up! Also no live TV! Apart from this all good. On a plus the beds were fantastic, very comfortable and loved the peacocks and goats. Just need to keep up with maintenance issues when they occur would be my advice as not great for the next visitors to walk into.
Beautiful accomadation, it has everything you need perfect location to visit north wales. The hot tub was amazing after a walk in the mountains
Property was as described, although we struggled to locate as hidden from road behind electronic gate. No gate code given with arrival information. The drive up to it was a bit hairy but we got used to it. Great location for visiting surrounding area though as once down the hill youre on the main trunk road straight away. Living and sleeping space all on one level upstairs above triple garage, strange smell as you enter property but disappeared as you went upstairs. As a family of four, stopping for 7 nights we struggled with cooking meals some nights due to lack of equipment no wok, microwaveable bowls etc this could easily be rectified. Also struggled with the hob it kept pulsing dont know if this is normal for an induction hob? It was brand new as we had to take the label off to cook on it! Maybe a user manual would be helpful? Freezer was very frosted up struggled to open a couple of drawers. Towels were very small! Toilet seat didnt fit the toilet and there were some areas in bathroom that werent as clean as we would have expected eg. dust falling from extractor, masking tape round towel rail, edge of bath panel not clean. We were told there would be a gas bbq but couldnt locate one, bought disposable one instead as kids were looking forward to it. It would be nice to have some more thought given to outside area as the next door property has a whole host of outdoor provisions. We were the first people to stay in the property and took a risk booking it as there were no photos available at the time. The property is as pictured but its just the finer points that need to be looked at. All in all a good stay, just hope that these smaller items can be rectified for future visitors. We loved our week in North Wales and will definitely visit again as soon as much to see and do.
