Lleyn Peninsula Self Catering cottage, 19A Kingshead Street, Pwllheli, sleeps 4

Please listen to bad reviews
When we walked through the door we wanted to walk straight back out! The place was cluttered with the owners possessions which were everywhere - I don't think anything has ever been thrown out however unsuitable it is. There was clutter under the stairs which could have possibly had games amongst it but it nothing was accessible. Cobwebs everywhere - and I don't mean just a little bit - they were thick and looked like they hadn't been touched for years especially the ones in the bathroom. The decorative lights in the living room and kitchen were dangerous as they were very heavy and hung so low and the fittings were totally inappropriate - one on a small bent tack and the other with the dowel fitting halve exposed. We took these down during our stay as we were afraid that we would get knocked out by one of them. We couldn't cook or eat in the kitchen as it was so grubby and I couldn't lock the back door as it was so warped and the metal work caught on the frame so that it wouldn't shut properly. The light shades (the ones that actually had shades on them- not all of them did!) were cheap paper ones that were rusty and dirty and the curtains in the top floor bedroom were hanging on by about four hooks and couldn't be closed. The roman blind in the same bedroom also couldn't be opened. The shower handle was broken and had been placed under the bath for some reason someone knew that it should be fixed. There were so many things wrong with the place and not just because it's an old property. We understand that old places can be difficult to maintain and won't always be perfect but that can add to their charm however 19a Kingshead street was dirty, poorly maintained and unfit for anyone to pay money to stay there. We complained continually to Sykes who we booked our holiday through but they were useless and we just had the usual statement of 'we'll let the owners know'. However we've got no faith in this as having looked at previous reviews these issues have been raised since 2018 and nothing has been done. As we said previously please please please take note of the bad reviews - we wish we had!!!
