  A lovely well equipped ground floor apartment, in a great location, but so many issues spoiled our week.

  The bedding and towels were great, bed comfortable but the overpowering stench of dog was truly dreadful. I even bought febreze to use on the sofa and carpets, to no avail. Someone had clearly allowed their dog access to the sofa and bedroom. It desperately needs a paint job, with marks everywhere and stains on the wall in the bedroom and on the ceiling and walls in the lounge presumably from the flat above. There were cobwebs everywhere. The bathroom fan wasn’t working and the shower tray was cracked, causing a dangerous sag in the centre. The bins outside on the drive were overflowing when we arrived. During the week we saw various people around, who in fact were maintenance for the owners. We learned that they were aware of all the issues and we were told they were going to be dealt with when the apartment was not booked. The dreadful smell was mentioned by the previous review, so they clearly know about that too. In the meantime people are clearly expected to put up with it. It’s a great shame, as the apartment should, and could, be lovely. It’s a great shame that people are booking and paying in good faith and also that notices in the property regarding the rules about pets are not adhered to!!

  We stayed at the property for a seaside break, with our two children (11 and 13).

  The property is central and a few min walk from the train station, supermarket and less then a min walk from the beach. A car is useful to visit surrounding Wales but is no way needed to get to the property or get the most out of Barmouth itself. On arrival everything was clean and as described in the advertisement and was matching the photos provided. The rooms were if anything more spacious than we had imagined. I personally enjoyed the amount of art in every room. There is some steep steps inside the building to get to the apartment, as mentioned. But it really is worth the effort for the view of Barmouth beach. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. We used the cooking facilities and everything you could think of was provided. It's really difficult to think of any constructive criticism to provide, perhaps the vacuum could do with a replacement as the nozzle easily comes loose. We had a fantastic time and hope to come back again. We would happily recommend this property to our friends and family. Thank you for providing the base for our lovely holiday ❤️.

  We loved the apartment which was light, airy and comfortable, kitchen was well equipped.

  Commanded lovely views of the beach and estuary. Counted 52 steps up to the top floor, so not for those who can't do stairs! However, it could do with a thorough deep clean, had there been cleaning supplies, I would have done it myself as it bugged me the whole week. Windows especially were filthy inside and out, shame as this spoilt the view! Bathroom, shower full of black mould, nothing an old toothbrush, bleach and elbow grease wouldn't fix. Behind door full of dust, tiled shelf ditto. Skirting boards, ditto, especially below heater in front bedroom, visible from dining area. Fridge on its last legs, icebox so iced up, impossible to get anything in and dripping water all over food in fridge (health hazard). No black bags for rubbish provided, ditto washing up liquid, antibax Flash? etc. Vacuuming lax as bits and dust everywhere, seems new carpet has been laid but not cleaned up very well. We would return as we liked the apartment but please, give it the clean it deserves.

  We found the communal entrance to the building and stairs to be a little 'tired' looking.

  The front garden and steps to the main building could do with a general tidy up to look more appealing. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and Tara, the owner's sister, was very helpful when we had a problem with the Internet. Some of the furniture could do with updating, however, the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable, and the views to the sea were wonderful. The shower doors were a little unstable at times, and the table lamps were not working, but there were standard lamps to compensate for this. You need to be quite fit to climb all of the stairs. A very good location for all of the amenities. Nice to have a simple cooker to use. We have often had difficulties in other places we have stayed where the kitchen appliances have been too modern and complicated to use. Tara lives just a couple of doors down and was always available by phone if there were any issues.

  This was our second stay at apartment 1, last year the only issue we had was an internet connection loss for a couple of hours.

  During our stay this year, again we had an internet loss for a whole evening & into next morning which causes the tv not to work too. The doggy urine smell in the main room was very intense, I bought air fresheners, candles etc to try & eliminate it but to no avail. The bedding was damp & stained so very uncomfortable to use, in general the place was dusty & lots of spiders on the walls & ceilings & also marks on the walls. When we first arrived the garden was very untidy although after a few days someone came to do the weeding but the garden furniture was filthy, so totally unusable which is such a shame as we had beautiful weather. Such a lovely quiet location but very disappointed with the presentation of the property this time.
