  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  Unfortunately we had to leave the property two days early as we were unable to get a good night's sleep in the bed on the first floor.

  We had 5 nights of bad sleep and could take no more. This bed is only 4’ wide which is known as a queen size bed, therefore it is totally unacceptable for a couple to sleep in, a standard double bed is 4’6”. My husband and I were unable to turn over so had to sleep on our back the entire time. This room should be advertised as a single as there is no way it can be categorised as a double room. My wife called your office on Monday, i believe she spoke with Dawn to ask if there was an alternative property for us to move to but sadly everything was fully booked within a 50 mile radius. I have photographs of the 4’ bed to prove the exact size Our holiday was ruined, therefore we would like some form of compensation. Sleepless nights were not in our plan when we booked this holiday. Luckily the location was superb so we were able to enjoy our day trips. On another note, the house was grubby in places, I appreciate that this wasn't a luxury cottage but it would have been good to have been clean, dust and cobweb free. There is nowhere to store food, all cupboards are full therefore we had to keep the food we had brought with us in carrier bags on the floor. I look forward to hearing from you.

  This holiday rental was a 50/50 there was some good aspects as well as bad.

  On entering the property we where immediately disappointed, dark room covered in dust, as we made or way to the back things perked up the kitchen come sitting area was lovely very well equipped and with doors out to a lovely decking area although getting out the back door was a bit of a challenge opening and closing the door was a nightmare. The bin in the garden was full with bin bags all around (it was mentioned in the welcome pack about taking rubbish to the local recycling plant, which we did but I wondered why the owners couldn’t have done this before our arrival with the piles of rubbish that had been left?) the bedroom on the second floor is definitely not a double, it was was very small, and the third floor had adequate sleeping facilities but I would advise anybody with young children to give this property a wide berth the stairs leading up are very steep with no backs to the stairs like a ladder but with huge gaps, there is also no door to the room and banisters with very wide gaps. Having said all this the bed linen towels etc where good quality and location was good too. Would I come back...... if they addressed the issues I have raised then I definitely would.

  This was a lovely place to spend the week, great base for walking with walks from the door and the beach is around 10 minutes' walk from the accommodation.

  The town itself is very cute with several nice, local shops (we particularly liked the hippie shop) and plenty of places to stock up on supplies, including Asda, Lidl, Iceland, Hone Bargains and B&M. We didn't find many dog-friendly pubs, however, and only one (The Bar) allowed dogs inside. We therefore drove to nearby Abersoch and Nefyn when we wanted to eat out. I was initially a little nervous as the previous couple.of reviews were so negative, but it was clear when we arrived that the owner has worked hard to address the reported issues. The cottage was clean, warm and tidy, there was plenty of equipment and the water in the shower was warm. My mither-in-law, who is 94, said the bed was very comfy (we had to bring her along at the last minute and she struggled with the stairs, but had little need to use them as there is a downstairs loo).The garden was beautiful and the smell of the roses absolutely divine! Regarding parking: there is no parking by the cottage itself, but I had no trouble finding a space every night, two street away on Fforde-Y-Maer. All in all, a very enjoyable stay. We would happily stay here again.

  Patio dangerously slippery, garden not maintained - though, before I arrived, the owner offered to send the gardner during my stay but assuming it would be in a reasonable state, I said I was sure there would be no need.

  Shower fixture loose. TV remote control dirty & sticky. Fire didn't light. Cooker light and expel - air not working. Garden fence collapsed thus unable to put out bins. (Owner informed but nothing done during my stay.) Both recycling and non- recycling bins full from previous occupants. Sofa covers covered in dog hair and cushions in need of coverings. A dirty plate among clean ones in the cupboard. Wi-Fi signal too weak to work. Generally, tatty and unwelcoming. I had to clean the patio with a new stiff bristled broom, replace the expel - air fuse (3amp - like for like - a set of which I had to buy) replace a light bulb... and try to clean the sofa covers and trim some of the overhanging roses in order to use the patio. I informed the owner of some of these issues during my stay and after my return, but was told by the owner that they were too busy to take the feedback at that time and didn't offer any other time in which to do so. A real disappointment.
