Our 4th stay. Great location and very comfortable. Whole place needs a thorough clean when not booked. No hoover for guests. Tired kitchen and various items need replacing. Have reported various other issues to the owner. Would like to see a 2nd car pass as its now 108 for a week. We would book again if everything can be resolved.

This is a well appointed property in a fantastic location. It's close to local shops, pubs and restaurants. Recommend Sea Breeze, Harbour Kitchen at the Britannia, Glan Yr Afon in Pennal and further afield Salt Marsh Kitchen in Tywyn and Cross Foxes near Dolgellau. Beautiful views and lots of interesting places to see nearby - sand dunes, Dovey ValRead moreley Nature Reserves and the wonders of Snowdonia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hide

Unfortunately this isn't as it seems in the photos, the only rooms that are good & clean are the main bedroom & bathroom. The other rooms play host to broken plaster, dirty & broken blinds, wallpaper coming off, broken mattresses, dirty kitchen, furniture, equipment etc. Not good even for a dog friendly place to stay. We paid over 900 for 5 days & Read moreit's not worth it. On the plus side, the location is good for the beach or day trips and the locals are friendly. Hide

Fantastic location and lovely spacious house. Bathrooms fab. Main bedroom lovely. We spent many an evening sitting watching the sea from there. Lovely local shops within easy reach and railway station not far for days out. Lovely holiday.

Kitchen is not suitable for amount of guests this house accommodates, which is in desperate need of being replaced as mold is growing and falling apart. The lounge/kitchen area is far too small for a family. House is not child friendly, due to nails sticking out of various places, flaking walls, unstable tall units etc. child gate falling apart. GeRead moreneral condition of the property needs attention. On the plus the bedrooms are nice and beds comfortable. Shower is lovely but window needs obscured. Hide

We loved the house with it's lovely views and really enjoyed being in such close proximity to the beach. We had a baby and 4 year old with us so it was great to be able to pop back from the beach if we needed to .The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well .We were sad to leave .

2nd stay in this lovely house. Air fryer & slow cooker added were ideal. Lacked a corkscrew & ice cube tray. Also a summer duvet was needed , we had to remove the 13. 5 tog one as there was a heatwave ! Also not enough towels- only 1 hand towel in main bathroom. Loved the fact that you left beach chairs & a wind breaker for us to use! We thoroughlyRead more enjoyed our stay here again & think it's value for money , hence we will be back again Hide
