  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!!

  The beds are so uncomfortable that we didn't stay the 3rd night and actually went to my mum's as her guests had left.

  It was cold when we arrived as only the towel rail was on so we had to turn all the radiators on as the weather was bad this weekend and wait for it to warm up. The kitchen could do with a blind more for privacy then anything else as it's right on the alleyway. The seal on the bottom of shower glass needs replacing as I realised half way through my shower water was going all over the floor and you could see this was not the first time it has happened. Internet was rubbish with a note to say it's because it's rural yet my mum doesn't have the same issues. Netflix wouldn't work on the TV, so glad it was only a base for us and we spent most of our time somewhere else. The towels are tiny and all smelt musty, it could also do with a hand towel. The book asks you to wash up before you leave but there wasn't any washing up liquid just a manky wire scrubbing thing so we left what we had used in the sink which was a couple of mugs and small plates. It's in a great location for us being a few minutes walk to our family and The Union Inn but I wouldn't rebook it or recommend to other family members.

  Amazing!Beautiful!

  Tranquil!Relaxing! We have had the most chilled weekend at the big house, absolutely fabulous. Perfect little getaway. The children loved the safe space & hidden doorway! Teenagers happy with phones working!The adults loved the separate lounge! Fires lit, rugby on Tv & beers, super chilled! Fully equipped kitchen, everything & anything you need. Just over 10mins to Tesco in Porthmadog if you need anything, dogs loved the run on the estuary, I sat & enjoyed the views, spectacular! The clear skies, the wildlife- owls calling to each other & birds of prey, fantastic! We caravan in this area so know it well, but to stay in the Big house was a treat- and a fabulous treat at that. Only thing I'd possibly mention is a sign at the bottom of the drive? We didn't arrive until 8pm, very dark & ended up on the loggers property a bit lower down! Don't use postcode use what 3 words & you won't go wrong! Will definitely recommend & Hope to return again. Thankyou for a much needed & well deserved Relaxing weekend :-)

  Really enjoyed our break at Stoneycroft .

  The house is tastefully finished inside & to a high standard, very much home from home . Access is good from where the car is parked making it easy to carry cases in to the property.The kitchen is well equipped ( Loved the coffee machine) & the welcome pack was very welcome :) As there was only 2 of us we obviously only used the one bedroom which had a really comfortable bed ( slept well). The one bedside lamp didn't work properly but didn't cause a problem . The only other thing was the blind in the picture window in the dining area was brokren . Again this wasn't a problem as your'e not overlooked . The views from the house & garden are brilliant . If there is a problem , its got nothing to do with the house but where it is , halfway up a very steep lane, which is a real lung buster when you walk up into the town , which would present a real problem if you had any disability. Other than that thoroughly recommended.

  We had a lovely week at Big House.

  The house is clean, comfortable and well-equipped and the layout with the connected annex really worked for our family. The location is great with easy access to Harlech and Porthmadog for a good range of shops and cafes. Unfortunately, it rained for the whole week so we weren’t able to make the most of the lovely garden and beautiful views but the wood burning stove meant it was a cosy place to hunker down with a glass of wine and some board games. The only negatives were some issues with the shower not draining properly in the annex bathroom but the biggest concern for us was the very steep driveway and the blind spot for exiting on to the road. We felt like we were taking our lives in our hands every time we left the property and I really feel that a mirror is necessary at the bottom of the driveway. Otherwise, a great stay in a beautiful house in a fabulous location!
